Frequently Asked Questions

How long does one of these cartridges last in a working 7130?

It depends on the department's monthly volume, and the rating gives you the yardstick: up to 19,000 pages per cartridge. A team printing around 2,000 pages a month is looking at the better part of a year from a single 330-6135; a heavier office at 5,000 pages a month will cycle through one in roughly a quarter. Divide your own monthly count into 19,000 and you have your planning figure.

Our 7130 output has started looking pale. Is the cartridge finished?

Usually that is the first sign, not the last page. As toner runs low, density fades gradually rather than stopping outright. Gently rocking the cartridge from side to side redistributes the remaining toner and typically restores acceptable output for a while — but treat the first pale prints as your cue to have the next cartridge on hand.

When should we reorder so the printer never sits idle?

When the fade starts, not when it stops. On a shared department machine, an empty cartridge idles everyone's work, so the practical rule is to order the replacement as soon as output lightens. This cartridge is priced at $64.85 — about 0.34 cents per rated page — so keeping the replacement cycle ahead of the empty point costs little and avoids the scramble.

Does the 19,000-page rating cover copies as well as prints?

Yes — every page the 7130 produces draws on the same 330-6135 cartridge, whether it started as a print job from a desk or a copy made at the machine. Departments that copy heavily should count those pages in their monthly volume when estimating how long a cartridge will last.

How should a spare be stored until it is needed?

Sealed in its packaging, flat, in a cool dry cupboard away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Kept that way, a spare waits patiently on the shelf; opened early or stored somewhere hot, it only risks degraded output when its turn finally comes.

What protection comes with this cartridge?

Every 330-6135 is covered by a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns, and support is on hand Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST. Details are on our shipping & returns page.
