Lexmark Black Return Programme Toner Cartridge 15K (77L20K0)
15,000 pagesBlackReturn Programme · EUOriginal Lexmark
The Lexmark 77L20K0 is the original black Return Programme toner cartridge for the Lexmark CS963, CX833, CX950, CX951, CX952, CX953, CX961, CX962, CX963 and MX951/MX953 A3 colour devices, rated for 15,000 pages. It is the European (EU/EEA) region version, so it matches printers sold in Cyprus and the rest of the EU.
Return Programme cartridges are sold at a lower price than the regular cartridge in exchange for single use: the cartridge goes back to Lexmark for remanufacturing or recycling instead of being refilled by a third party. The imaging unit and waste toner bottle are separate parts in this series.
Before you order: This is a region-coded Return Programme cartridge for EU/EEA printers. Printers bought outside Europe may expect a different regional part — send us your printer model and serial if it was imported.
What's in the Box
- 1 × Lexmark black Return Programme toner cartridge (77L20K0)
- Return information for the Lexmark collection programme
What It Means in Practice
- Return Programme terms: the cartridge is licensed for a single use, stops working at the end of its rated life (some toner may remain inside), and is returned only to Lexmark. The printer may update its memory to block counterfeit or unauthorised supplies.
- Plan the imaging unit separately: in this series the black imaging unit (77L0ZK0 Return Programme, or 77L0Z10) lasts much longer than one toner, and the waste toner bottle is 77L0W00.
- Page yields are measured by the manufacturer under standard test conditions (about 5% coverage on A4). Pages with photos, logos, solid areas or heavy colour use more toner, so real-world page counts are often lower — budget with that in mind.
- Keep the cartridge sealed in its bag until you install it, store it flat at room temperature and out of direct sunlight. A cartridge that has been dropped or stored in heat can leak or print streaks.
- When the printer first warns about low toner it normally keeps printing for a while. Having the replacement on the shelf avoids downtime, especially on shared office printers.
- Used original cartridges can go back through the manufacturer recycling scheme instead of general waste — ask us if you need the return details.
What Will Not Work
- Lexmark printers sold for other regions that expect the US/Canada (77L10K0), Asia-Pacific (77L30K0), Latin America (77L40K0) or other EMEA/CIS (77L50K0) version of this cartridge.
- Refilling — Return Programme cartridges are single-use under the Lexmark licence.
- Printers outside the compatibility list. Cartridges with similar-looking numbers for other model series do not seat correctly or are rejected by the printer chip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the regular (non-Return Programme) cartridge instead?
Yes. Lexmark also sells regular cartridges for this series that are not limited to single use; they cost more. Both are original Lexmark supplies and work in the same printers.
How do I check that this fits my printer?
Read the full model name on the label of your printer, including the letters after the number (for example dn, cdw or cidn), and compare it with the compatibility list on this page. If you are not sure, send us the model and we will confirm before you order.
Is this an original or a compatible cartridge?
This is an original manufacturer supply in retail packaging. Compatible alternatives, where they exist, are listed separately in our Toner Compatible category.
