Frequently Asked Questions

Our last cartridge ran out in the middle of a print run. What does keeping this pair change?

It turns a toner change from an emergency into a pause. One 106R1371 goes into the printer and the second stays sealed on the shelf beside it, so when the installed cartridge finally fades, the swap takes a couple of minutes and the run carries on instead of waiting on a delivery. For a workgroup machine like the Phaser 3600, which tends to sit at the centre of a team's printing, that one-cartridge buffer is the difference between a brief interruption and a department standing idle.

Each cartridge is rated at 14,000 pages. How does that rating hold up on our kind of printing?

The 14,000-page figure for the 106R1371 is measured at the standard 5% page coverage — a typical text page. Offices printing dense reports, forms with heavy headers, or pages with large filled areas will see fewer pages per cartridge, and offices printing short memos will see more. The honest way to size this pair is against your machine's own page counter: at 2,000 pages a month the two cartridges are roughly a year's supply, at 4,000 a month roughly half that. Either way, the box holds 28,000 rated pages in total.

What is the actual cost per cartridge and per page here?

The pair is $222.86, which is $111.43 per cartridge. Across the 28,000 rated pages the two units carry, that works out to about 0.80 cents per page — arithmetic taken strictly from this pack's own price and ratings. There is no subscription, no contract and no minimum reorder attached; you are simply buying the second cartridge at the same time as the first, while the printer's need is in front of you rather than after it has stopped.

Will this pair fit every Phaser 3600 variant, or only some?

Every variant in the family takes the same cartridge. The Phaser 3600B, Phaser 3600DN, Phaser 3600EDN and Phaser 3600N differ in paper handling, duplexing and network options, but the toner bay is the same in each. Match the code on the cartridge you remove — 106R1371 — against this listing and you have the right check.

When the spare finally goes in, what should we do first?

Take the sealed 106R1371 out of its bag, hold it level and rock it gently from side to side a few times so the toner inside is evenly distributed, then remove the sealing strip and slide it in until it seats. Print a few ordinary pages and look at them before launching a long run: even, solid text from edge to edge means the cartridge has settled. If the first pages are light on one side, take the unit out and rock it once more — settled toner, not a faulty cartridge, is the usual cause.

How are the two cartridges covered, and where does the order ship from?

Each cartridge in the pair carries its own 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so if one unit leaks, fails early or prints poorly it is replaced or refunded on its own; the other cartridge is unaffected and stays covered. Orders ship from whichever of our four US warehouses — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California — is closest to you, and the full terms are on our shipping & returns page. If you would like a person to confirm the fit before ordering, support runs Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and the rest of the platform's range is in our Xerox catalogue.

About This Xerox 106R1371 Black 2-Pack for the Phaser 3600

This listing is a 2-pack of compatible Xerox 106R1371 black toner cartridges for the Phaser 3600 family — two cartridges rated at up to 14,000 pages each, 28,000 rated pages in the box, at $222.86: $111.43 per cartridge, about 0.80 cents per rated page. It is built around a simple working pattern — one cartridge in the machine, one sealed beside it — so a busy mono workgroup printer never sits empty waiting for toner to arrive. Both units are covered individually by our 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns.
