Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this listing carry both "5230" and "330-6968" in its name?
Because they are the two halves of the same identification. "5230" is the printer; "330-6968" is the cartridge — Dell's part number for the high-yield black supply the 5230 runs on, rated at 21,000 pages. Listings named by printer help you browse; listings named by part number help you verify. This one gives you both, so you can match the code on the cartridge you are replacing and be certain before the box arrives.
What does a page cost with the 330-6968?
About 0.66 cents. The cartridge is $138.32 and rated at 21,000 pages at the standard 5% coverage, and the division — price over rating — is the figure to hold against any other supply you are considering for the 5230.
Which printers use this cartridge?
Dell's 5230 and 5350 laser families — the 5230, 5230n, 5230dn, 5350 and 5350dn share the 330-6968 as their high-yield black supply. This listing is named for the 5230, but the cartridge in the box is the same unit whichever of those machines it ends up in.
How do I verify this is the cartridge my 5230 needs?
Pull the installed cartridge and read the label: the part number printed there should read 330-6968. The printer model alone can mislead when a family offers more than one supply; the part number cannot. Thirty seconds with the old cartridge in hand removes all doubt.
How long will this cartridge run in a 5230?
As long as your volume takes to print 21,000 pages at ordinary coverage: around 14 months at 1,500 pages a month, around seven months at 3,000 a month. Pages heavier than plain text — dense forms, big graphics — draw more toner and shorten the calendar time, though the cartridge is still delivering against the same rating standard.
What if it does not perform as it should?
It is a compatible cartridge backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns; the full policy is on our shipping and returns page. Support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
What should be checked against the order when this cartridge arrives?
The part number, first of all: the box should read 330-6968, matching the order line exactly, with the seal intact. That goods-in check takes seconds and is the procurement-grade confirmation that the high-yield black you specified is the one that was delivered. It matters because a spare may sit on the shelf for months; discovering a wrong unit on the day the printer runs dry turns a paperwork detail into a stoppage.
How should output be judged right after installation?
On a document you know, from about the third page onward. Fit the 330-6968, print a familiar report or letter, and compare it with the 5230's usual standard — even density, clean margins, no streaks. The first sheet or two after any cartridge change can look slightly unsettled as the new unit beds in; that settling is normal. Output that is still faded or streaked several pages in is the signal worth acting on.
How do two-sided print jobs count against the rating?
Each side counts. The 21,000 pages behind the 330-6968 are printed sides, so a double-sided sheet spends two of them. A 5230 running duplex-heavy work will empty the paper tray about half as often as the page total suggests, which can make the cartridge seem longer-lived than it is — or, if someone is counting sheets against the rating, wrongly short-lived. The printer's own page counter is the figure that reconciles the two views.
What is the sensible thing to do with the cartridge this one replaces?
Hold onto it until the replacement has proven itself — a few days of normal printing is enough. The spent 330-6968 is the readiest troubleshooting tool in the office: if the new cartridge's output disappoints, one page printed with the old unit back in the machine separates a cartridge fault from a printer fault immediately. Once the new unit is printing cleanly as a matter of routine, the empty can leave with the regular clear-out.
