Frequently Asked Questions

The title says "Cartridges" — how many are in the box?

One. We know the plural in the product name can mislead, so to be plain: this listing is a single compatible 106R01530 black toner cartridge for the Xerox 3550 platform, rated at 11,000 pages and priced at $69.02. If you want more than one cartridge in the order, the two-pack, three-pack, five-pack and ten-pack of the same 106R01530 are listed separately and each says its count in the name.

What does 106R01530 tell me?

It is the cartridge's part number — the identifier printed on the cartridge itself. Xerox's 3550 platform uses this one cartridge across its models, so the number is the fastest confirmation that you have the right product: compare it with the label on the cartridge you are replacing, and a match settles the question.

Which printers is this cartridge for?

The 106R01530 serves the WorkCentre 3550, WorkCentre 3550X, WorkCentre 3550XM and WorkCentre 3550YX. If your office runs more than one of these, a single cartridge type covers them all.

How many pages does the one cartridge print?

It is rated at 11,000 pages at the standard 5% coverage — roughly 0.63 cents per page at the $69.02 price. Coverage decides your real total: ordinary correspondence runs near the rating, while dense documents and graphics pull it down. As a lifespan guide, 11,000 pages is about eleven months of printing at 1,000 pages a month.

Why would I choose a single over the multi-packs?

If the printer is lightly used, a single avoids tying up money in stock you may not touch for years. If the machine prints daily, the multi-packs are the better arithmetic — the per-cartridge price steps down from $69.02 here to roughly $52.38 in the ten-pack. The cartridge itself is identical in every pack size.

What protection do I get?

A 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns cover the cartridge, so ordering a compatible unit is not a risk you carry. Full terms are on our shipping and returns page, and support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
