Frequently Asked Questions

What does one cartridge mean in working weeks for a busy ML-1710D?

The rating on the cartridge is 3,000 pages. A desk producing 150 pages weekly - statements, correspondence, forms - therefore gets about twenty working weeks from a unit, the better part of five months between changes. Double the weekly traffic and the interval halves; the rating simply divides by whatever your machine actually does.

When the ML-1710D warns that toner is low, how much is really left?

Read the warning as an instruction to order, not as a fuel gauge hitting zero. Machines of this line raise the flag while a useful reserve still sits in the cartridge, and a soft rock from side to side evens out what is left. Order at the warning and the replacement is shelved well before the print starts to fail.

What does this cartridge cost per ream of paper printed?

A ream holds 500 sheets, so the $41.62 cartridge - 3,000 rated pages - puts about $6.94 of toner behind every ream, the equivalent of 1.39 cents a page. One cartridge thereby covers six reams, a yardstick offices find handy when paper and toner are bought side by side.

Is swapping the cartridge on an ML-1710D a job I can do myself?

Comfortably. Lift the front cover, slide the old unit out by its handle, give the new cartridge a gentle rocking to settle its contents, peel the protective strip away, slide it home until it seats, and close up. No tools, no menus, no technician - two minutes, start to finish.

Does this same cartridge serve other Samsung printers we own?

It is the common unit for a wide family: ML-1500, ML-1510, ML-1510B and ML-1520 on one side, ML-1710, ML-1710B, ML-1710P, ML-1740 and ML-1750 on the other. One spare on the shelf can rescue any of them, which tidies life considerably where several machines of this generation remain in daily service.

What guarantee stands behind this purchase?

A year of warranty, with returns carried free across the same twelve months should the cartridge leak, streak or die early. The small print sits on the shipping and returns page. We send orders out of our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses, and a support team is reachable Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
