Frequently Asked Questions

How many pages a week does one cartridge give an ML-1710B?

Think of it as a weekly budget drawn from 3,000 rated pages. At a hundred pages weekly the unit runs for about thirty weeks; at two hundred and fifty weekly, about twelve. The burn rate is the figure that converts a cartridge rating into a reorder date you can put in a diary.

What does the toner-save mode do to page counts and print quality?

It stretches the fill by laying less toner on each page, so the same cartridge yields more sheets - but the type comes out greyer and less solid. For internal drafts the bargain is frequently worthwhile; for anything leaving the office, the standard-mode expectation of 3,000 pages is the honest basis for planning.

Can I change this cartridge myself, or does it need a technician?

Yourself, in minutes, tool-free. Open the ML-1710B's front cover, draw the old unit out by its handle, rock the fresh cartridge softly from side to side, peel away its protective strip, slide it home and shut the cover. Nothing requires configuring afterwards - the printer simply resumes where it left off.

What is the difference between fading and banding at the end of a cartridge?

Fading lightens the whole page evenly and means the fill is running dry. Banding lays regular light or dark stripes at fixed intervals and points instead at a roller, not at emptiness. A faded cartridge is replaced; a banding cartridge fresh from its box is a fault, and faults are returned free within its year of cover.

What does a page cost with this cartridge in the ML-1710B?

Approximately 1.39 cents - the cartridge is $41.62 and rated for 3,000 pages. Draft pages under toner-save push the effective figure lower still, at the cost of paler output. On any setting, the ML-1710B remains one of the least expensive printers in the building to feed.

What protection does this purchase carry?

A year of warranty and a year of returns free of charge. Should the cartridge leak, streak from its first page or fail early, it comes back without cost under the process on the shipping and returns page. Fulfilment runs from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA; support is staffed Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
