Frequently Asked Questions
Which black cartridge does the 5500dtn take?
The black slot on the 5500dtn uses the C9730A, the black cartridge of the HP 645A family. This listing is that single cartridge, at $166.60, identified by the same code printed on the unit you remove.
Does two-sided printing change how the black gets used?
The cartridge itself works the same way; what changes is volume. A dtn running long duplex reports puts toner on both faces of every sheet, so black consumption follows the number of printed sides, and busy two-sided work moves through a cartridge briskly.
What yield is this cartridge rated for?
13,000 pages at standard coverage. On a machine fed by multiple trays and worked hard all day, treat that as the planning figure and expect dense, dark pages to trim it.
Which jobs on this printer drain the black fastest?
Long text runs: multi-page reports, statements and form sets pulled from the extra tray. Color work matters less here, because the black carries every character on those sheets plus the shading in charts and tables.
Is there anything to set up after the swap on a dtn?
No settings are involved. Seat the cartridge, close the cover and let the printer calibrate; tray selections and duplex defaults live in the machine and the driver, not in the cartridge, so your usual jobs print exactly as before.
Where do I turn if the new cartridge misbehaves?
Our support staff are available Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST to help narrow the problem down. Protection is a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, and the shipping & returns page walks through how returns are handled.
About This C9730A for the Color LaserJet 5500dtn
The Color LaserJet 5500dtn combines duplexing with an extra tray, a configuration built for long runs of two-sided text. Its black cartridge has to keep pace, and the C9730A is rated at 13,000 pages for exactly that duty.
