Frequently Asked Questions

Which cyan cartridge does the 5500dtn take?

The same one the rest of the family takes: C9731A, the cyan of the 645A series. The letters after 5500 describe the printer's hardware, not a different supply — confirm the C9731A stamp on the cartridge you remove and you have the match.

What do the "dtn" letters mean for how we use toner?

They mark a duplexing, extra-tray, networked configuration. For toner, the duplexing matters most: a two-sided brochure spends cyan on both faces of the sheet, so a run of 500 brochures is 1,000 printed pages against the cartridge's rating.

How does two-sided printing change the yield we should expect?

The rating is 12,000 printed pages, and every side counts. A dtn that lives on double-sided A3 brochures will call for its next C9731A sooner than the same rating suggests on single-sided work — plan reorders by printed sides, not sheets.

Why does the extra tray matter to a toner listing?

Because it keeps two stocks loaded — say A3 for brochures and letter for proofs — and jobs no longer wait on paper swaps. More paper ready means more pages per week, which means the supply gauge deserves a weekly glance rather than a monthly one.

The whole office prints to this machine over the network. How do we avoid a mid-job empty?

Check the supplies status in the printer's web page before big runs, and stage the spare at the machine. On a shared printer the person who sees the warning is rarely the person who orders, so the spare-on-site rule is what actually protects the run.

What support is included?

A 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns covers the cartridge. Our warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California handle shipping, support runs Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and the shipping and returns page has the complete terms.
