Frequently Asked Questions

Half the department uses the D1180 and nobody really "owns" its toner — how do we stop it running dry in the middle of a job?

Shared machines empty at the worst moment because nobody watches the level until it fails. Two habits fix it. First, keep one spare cartridge next to the machine, always — a D1180 out of toner with a spare beside it is a two-minute interruption, not a stalled department. Second, make fitting the spare the trigger for ordering the next one. Whoever swaps the cartridge orders the replacement the same day. This Canon 120 cartridge is $32.42, cheap enough that the spare-on-the-shelf policy costs less than one afternoon of a department waiting around.

How far does 5,000 pages go on a shared department machine?

Shared volume adds up faster than any single user realises. A D1180 serving a department at a combined 1,500 pages a month — printing and copying together — gets about three months and a bit from one cartridge. At 2,500 pages a month it is two months. That rhythm is why the spare matters more than the rating: on a shared machine the question is never whether the cartridge will run out mid-job, it is whether a replacement is within arm's reach when it does. The 5,000-page rating assumes standard 5% coverage.

How do we budget toner for a machine nobody owns?

By the page. This cartridge works out to about 0.65 cents per page — $32.42 for up to 5,000 pages — so the department's toner cost for the year is simply its annual page count times 0.65 cents. Read the meter once a quarter and the number takes care of itself. It is also a fair way to settle the occasional argument about which team prints too much: the cartridge neither knows nor cares who sent the job.

How can we tell the cartridge is nearly done before it actually stops?

The D1180 will warn about low toner before it is empty, and the output tells the same story: text that was crisp starts to look grey, and fading often shows on one side of the page first. When you see that, rock the cartridge gently side to side a few times — redistributing the remaining toner usually buys days to weeks of acceptable print, which is exactly the window you need for the replacement to arrive. Uniform paleness that rocking cannot fix means the end is genuinely close.

Which other machines in the building take this same cartridge?

Quite possibly several. This is the Canon 120, the single cartridge design behind the imageCLASS D1120, D1150, D1170, D1180, D1320, D1350, D1370 and D1520. Offices often discover they have been ordering what they thought were different cartridges for different floors, when one Canon 120 serves every one of those machines. Consolidating to one spare for the fleet simplifies the shelf and the ordering alike.

What happens if a cartridge fails early or prints badly?

It is covered by our 1-year warranty against defects and 1-year free returns if it does not perform as it should — full terms on our shipping and returns page. On a shared machine that matters more than usual, because a bad cartridge wastes a whole department's time, not one person's. If a cartridge misbehaves, tell us — support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST — and we will put it right under that cover.
