Frequently Asked Questions
The C480FW prints, copies, scans and faxes — which of those jobs actually spend this magenta?
Fewer than you might think. Printing and color copying draw on the CLT-M404S directly — a color copy spends toner exactly as a print does. Scanning spends none at all: it only reads the page. Faxing is a black-and-white world — a sent fax is a scan, and a received fax prints from the black cartridge. So on a busy C480FW, this cartridge's level is really a record of color printing and color copying, and it can fall quickly in an office that copies color documents all day while barely printing.
Why did the magenta run out ahead of the cyan and yellow?
Because the four cartridges live four different lives. Each color is spent by the documents that pass through, and an office whose color work is heavy on reds, warm graphics and skin tones will drain magenta first as a matter of arithmetic. Uneven levels are the normal state of a color printer, not a fault — which is why each cartridge is separate, separately monitored and separately replaced.
Is this the magenta named in the C480FW's supply list?
Yes. The supply the machine names for its magenta slot is the CLT-M404S, and the same code is printed on the cartridge you take out — match on it and the reorder cannot go wrong. The cartridge also fits the Xpress C430, C430W and C480, and its partners in the set are the CLT-K404S black, rated at 1,500 pages, plus the cyan and yellow cartridges of the 404S series.
What does it cost to run on a machine this busy?
The single cartridge is $76.50 for a rated 1,000 pages, about 7.65 cents a page at the standard 5% coverage — color copying at office coverage will spend it faster than that figure suggests, which is an argument for watching the level trend rather than the calendar. This family is sold as single cartridges only; on a machine that copies color daily, a shelf spare is the practical substitute for a bulk pack.
When the magenta dies mid-copy-run, what still works?
Color work stops — the machine will not fake a color page without one of its colors — but the C480FW is not dead: black printing and copying continue on the CLT-K404S, and scanning and faxing never needed toner in the first place. Fit the replacement and the color queue resumes. It is one more reason this platform's users keep one magenta in the cupboard rather than discovering the gap in front of a customer.
What support and cover stand behind it?
A one-year warranty covers the cartridge against defects, returns are free for a full year, and the detail is on our shipping and returns page. A support team is on hand Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and orders leave from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA.
