LEXMARK E260 •360 •460 •X264 •363 •364 MFP TONER CARTRIDGE REMANUFACTURING INSTRUCTIONS
The Lexmark E260/360/460 were introduced in December of 2008. They are replacing the E250/350/450 series of machines.
These cartridges are not backwards compatible with the E250/450 series. The cartridges and chips are all new.
The new machines are based on a Lexmark 35 or 40ppm (depending on the printer), 1200 DPI engine. With a street price of
around $199.00 USD (August 2010) for the E260, these machines continue to be very popular. It should be noted that the new
cartridges have chips with new code. New E260/360/460 chips while not available as of August 2010 should be available soon.
The X264/363/364 chips are available now. There are also different chips used for different regions of the world.
As with most of the “E” series through the years, there are two cartridges used for this engine, a toner and drum unit. These
machines also have standard and “Return” program (Prebate) cartridges and all have chips that shut them down. The “Return”
chips must be replaced each cycle. It should also be noted that the OEM high yield cartridges only work in the E360 and E460
series, not the E260 series. Also the Extra high yield cartridges are only used in the E460 series. There is also a special 18,000
page EHY cartridge for use in the E462 Only. A listing of the cartridges available as well as US pricing follows. As simple as these
cartridges are, there is plenty of room for a nice profit.
There are also a series of Multifunction machines based on this engine: the X264, X363 and X364. These machines also have
their own cartridges. The main difference is that the chip is different.
