Frequently Asked Questions

We bought the dte for its extra tray and long unattended runs. What does that mean for toner planning?

The extra tray removes paper as the reason the machine stops — which makes the cartridge the next stopping point. A long batch can consume a surprising share of a cartridge without anyone walking past the machine to notice a low-toner message. Check the toner gauge before starting a big tray-fed run, not after it stalls.

Our second tray holds legal paper. Does that change how far 12,000 pages goes?

A legal sheet carries roughly 25% more printable area than a letter sheet, and forms printed on it are often dense, so those pages draw more toner than the rating's 5% coverage assumes. Mixed-tray machines should expect the headline yield to land lower in proportion to their legal volume. It is the same cartridge either way — only the consumption rate moves.

Does the tray configuration change which black cartridge this machine takes?

No. The dte's extra tray is paper handling; the toner side is identical across the platform, and this listing names the X748dte. The C746H2KG also fits C746DN, C746DTN, C746N, C748DE, C748DTE, C748E, X746DE, X748DE and X748DTE, so tray and non-tray variants all draw from the same stock. This is the black cartridge; the colors are separate items.

Why would a dte owner buy a single instead of a pack?

Plenty do — a single machine with moderate monthly output can take the better part of a year to finish 12,000 pages, and one cartridge at $96.39 keeps cash and shelf space free. The packs reward volume, not ownership of a particular model. If your run lengths grow, stepping up to a two-pack later costs nothing in compatibility.

What happens if the cartridge empties halfway through a long batch?

The X748dte pauses the job and asks for toner; it does not lose the run. Swap in a fresh cartridge and the job resumes where it stopped, with the tray settings untouched. The only real cost is the interruption itself — which is why batch-heavy sites tend to keep a spare within reach.

If this cartridge streaks on our letterhead runs, what is the process?

Start with our support team — Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST — since some streaks trace back to the machine rather than the cartridge. If the cartridge is at fault, it is covered by a one-year warranty and can be returned free within the first year; the steps are on our shipping and returns page. You will not be asked to live with defective output.
