Frequently Asked Questions

Does scanning documents on our CLX-6260FD use any of this toner?

None at all. Scanning reads a page with light and a sensor; nothing is laid down, so a day spent scanning archives to email leaves every cartridge untouched. It is printing and copying that spend the CLT-K506L — if your black seems to last longer than expected, a scan-heavy workload is the likely reason.

We copy in black and white but print in colour — which cartridge do the copies draw on?

The black alone. A monochrome copy is produced entirely by the CLT-K506L, just as a black-and-white print is; the cyan, magenta and yellow sit those jobs out. Offices that copy paperwork all day are really running a black-toner workload with occasional colour printing, and the black's faster turnover simply reflects that split.

Which machines is this cartridge listed for?

The CLX-6260FD this listing names, and the CLP-680ND printer — both take the same CLT-K506L black. Matching the cartridge code is the dependable way to reorder, because the one supply covers a multifunction machine and a straight printer alike.

How far does the 6,000-page rating go in a copy-heavy office?

A copy spends toner exactly as a print does, page for page, so the rating is spent by your combined output: prints plus copies. Six thousand pages of mixed copying and printing is still six thousand pages — an office copying a few hundred pages a week should measure one CLT-K506L in months, with dense originals shortening the run.

What does each black page work out at?

At $44.71 for a cartridge rated at 6,000 pages, black costs roughly 0.75 cents per printed or copied page at standard coverage. Photocopies of pale originals can use less; copies of dense, shaded forms use more. Either way, the figure to plan a copying budget around is well under a cent a page.

What protection comes with this compatible cartridge?

A one-year warranty against defects and free returns for a full year from the day you buy — both set out on the shipping and returns page. We dispatch from whichever of our IL, PA, GA or CA warehouses is closest, and support runs Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST if anything needs sorting.
