Key Facts

What's in the Box

• 1 × HP 902XL Black MICR (T6M14AN) remanufactured ink cartridge — about 825 pages

Page yield is HP's ISO/IEC 24711 rating for the matching original cartridge, measured at roughly 5% page coverage. Your results will vary with what you print.

What MICR ink does: MICR (magnetic ink character recognition) ink contains iron oxide, so bank sorting equipment can read the routing, account and check numbers printed in the E-13B font along the bottom of a check. Use this cartridge with check-writing software and blank check stock. Our guide on how to print checks at home walks through the setup.

Before you print live checks: each bank sets its own acceptance rules. Print a sample check and have your bank verify it before relying on it.

Will Not Fit / Read Before Ordering

• Only the black is MICR: HP 902/902XL cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges use standard ink. You need this black MICR cartridge for the check line; the colors stay as they are.
• HP 910 printers: the OfficeJet Pro 8025e and OfficeJet 8015e look similar but use HP 910XL, not 902.
• Firmware: HP dynamic security can reject non-HP chips. See the chip section below before you install.

Chips, Printer Messages & Installation

Chip and firmware: this cartridge is rebuilt from an original HP 902XL but uses a replacement (non-HP) chip. HP's dynamic security can reject non-HP chips, and HP says only OfficeJet 6950 and OfficeJet Pro 6970-series units made before December 1, 2016 can install the firmware that turns that check off. Turn off automatic firmware updates (here's how), and if your printer rejects the cartridge, contact us before you print checks.

Installing: open the cartridge door, wait for the carriage to stop, press the black cartridge to release it and pull it out. Remove the tape from the new cartridge without touching the copper contacts and push it into the black slot until it clicks. If you see a "cartridge problem" or "used cartridge" message, choose OK or Continue. If it isn't recognized, see our guide to fixing a cartridge that isn't recognized.

Quality: US-Remanufactured

This is a remanufactured cartridge: an original HP 902XL black cartridge that is cleaned, refilled with MICR ink and tested in the USA before it ships. Castle Ink sells remanufactured inkjet cartridges and compatible (newly manufactured) toner.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many checks or pages will it print?

HP rates the original 902XL black at about 825 pages at 5% coverage. MICR ink isn't separately rated, so expect a similar count; a check page with a MICR line and some text uses roughly that coverage.

Will my bank accept checks printed with this cartridge?

Most banks accept properly printed MICR checks, but acceptance is up to each bank. Print a sample check and ask your bank to verify it before you rely on it.

Do I need special software or paper?

Yes. You need check-writing software that prints the MICR line in the E-13B font, plus blank check stock.

Are the HP 902 color cartridges MICR too?

No. Only this black cartridge carries MICR ink. Keep using standard 902 or 902XL colors.

Can I use it for regular printing too?

Yes. It prints normal black text and documents; the magnetic ink just matters for the check line.
