FAX L380

The Canon FAX L380 is a laser fax machine, and everything it sends or receives lands on paper through one black cartridge: the Canon S35 (7833A001AA). There is no color printing and no second cartridge to track, so keeping this machine supplied comes down to a single code. This page stocks that cartridge as a single and in multi-packs of two, three, five and ten, plus a premium-quality five-pack, all in compatible form.

A fax machine earns its keep by being ready when nobody is watching. Documents arrive at night, on weekends and in the middle of other work, and the L380 keeps receiving as long as toner holds out. That makes the buying question for this model less about the cartridge itself and more about how much interruption you can tolerate: a lone single suits a machine that faxes a few pages a week, while a pack on the shelf means the next empty cartridge is a two-minute swap rather than a delivery wait.

Toner Cartridges for FAX L380

Every listing below is the same S35 cartridge; the rows differ only in how many cartridges the box holds and, for one row, the premium build.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Start with the single S35 cartridge if the L380 handles occasional paperwork and you want to confirm the fit before committing to volume. If the machine receives contracts, orders or reports every day, the 3 pack or 5 pack keeps spares beside the machine and lowers the cost of each cartridge compared with buying one at a time. The premium 5 pack is the same count built to a higher specification, worth choosing when the machine prints dense, fine text that has to stay sharp. Heavy receivers who never want to think about toner should look at the 10 pack. Whichever size you pick, the cartridge going into the machine is identical.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Seat the cartridge firmly until it settles into place; a cartridge that sits slightly loose is the usual reason a fax machine reports a toner error on a fresh install. If received pages start to fade toward one side, take the cartridge out and rock it gently from side to side a few times — the toner inside settles during long standby periods, and redistributing it often restores even coverage for the remaining pages. Keep spare cartridges sealed, stored flat and away from heat and direct light, and open the wrapper only when the machine actually asks for toner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner cartridge does the Canon FAX L380 use?

It uses the Canon S35, Canon part number 7833A001AA. Order by either name — the S35 code or the full part number — and you are describing the same black cartridge.

Is there a high-yield S35 cartridge for this machine?

Not on this shelf. Every listing here is the standard S35 cartridge; the 2 pack, 3 pack, 5 pack and 10 pack differ only in how many cartridges you receive, so a busier fax line is served by pack size rather than by a higher-yield variant.

What is the difference between the standard 5 pack and the premium 5 pack?

Both boxes hold five S35 cartridges. The premium quality 5 pack is built to a tighter specification for cleaner, denser output, while the standard 5 pack covers everyday fax traffic at the lower price point.

Are the compatible S35 cartridges covered by a warranty?

Yes. Compatible cartridges from Clever Supplies carry a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns, so a cartridge that fails early can be replaced without reordering at full cost.
