Frequently Asked Questions
What stops a Phaser 3300 print run dead — and how does this 2-pack prevent it?
A mono printer rarely dies at a convenient moment: it fades out halfway through a stack of invoices, a month-end statement run or a tray of shipping labels, and the job sits unfinished until a new cartridge arrives. This 2-pack removes that gap. One 106R1412 goes into the machine and the second stays sealed beside it, so when the first cartridge gives out mid-run the swap takes a couple of minutes and the same job finishes the same day. There is no emergency order, no expedited shipping and no queue of paperwork waiting on a delivery.
The rating says 8,000 pages per cartridge. What does that mean on dense forms and labels?
The 8,000-page figure is measured at the industry-standard 5% page coverage — a typical text page with margins. Forms, invoices and labels run heavier than that: ruled tables, logos, barcodes and bold blocks all lay down more toner, so a forms-heavy office should expect fewer pages per cartridge than the headline number. Read the rating as the comparison standard between cartridges, then budget against your own volume: two cartridges give this pack 16,000 rated pages in total, and your real yield lands wherever your page mix puts it.
What does this 2-pack cost per cartridge and per page?
The pack is $160.14 for two cartridges, which is $80.07 per 106R1412. Across the 16,000 rated pages the pair carries, that works out to about 1 cent per page, taken strictly from this listing's own price and ratings. The figure includes nothing else — no contract, no managed-print agreement and no per-page billing — just two cartridges bought in one box so the spare is already paid for and on site before it is needed.
How can I tell the cartridge in the machine is truly empty and not just low?
Watch the output rather than the warning message. A low-toner alert is an estimate and printing usually continues cleanly after it appears, so treat it as your cue that the spare in this pack is about to earn its place. Genuine exhaustion shows on the page: text fading down one side, grey patches in solid areas, labels printing pale. Rocking the cartridge gently side to side redistributes the last of the toner and buys a short run of extra pages, but once the fading returns, the unit is finished and the second cartridge goes in.
Will this 2-pack fit my machine?
Yes, if your machine is in the Phaser 3300 family. The pack serves both the Phaser 3300 printer and the Phaser 3300 MFP; the MFP adds scanning and copying on top of the same print engine, and both draw from the same toner bay and the same cartridge code. The quick check before ordering is the code on the cartridge you are replacing: if it reads 106R1412, these are the correct refills for either badge.
What cover and delivery terms come with the pack?
Each cartridge is covered individually by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so a faulty unit is replaced or refunded without returning its partner. Orders ship from whichever of our four US warehouses — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California — is closest to you, with the full terms set out on our shipping & returns page. If you want a hand confirming the cartridge code before you order, support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and the wider range for this platform is listed in our Xerox catalogue.
About This Xerox 106R1412 Black 2-Pack for the Phaser 3300
Built for the printer that cannot afford to pause, this listing pairs two compatible Xerox 106R1412 black toner cartridges, each rated at up to 8,000 pages — 16,000 rated pages in the box — for $160.14, or $80.07 a cartridge. The idea is simple continuity: one cartridge works, one waits, and a toner-out stop becomes a two-minute swap instead of a stalled job and a rush order. It fits the Phaser 3300 and Phaser 3300 MFP, and every cartridge is backed on its own by our 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns.
