Frequently Asked Questions
How far do 60,000 pages really go on a department WorkCentre?
Farther than most offices expect. This 2-pack holds two 106R1306 cartridges rated at 30,000 pages each, so the box carries 60,000 pages of black output in total. A department machine copying and printing around 3,000 pages a month would take roughly twenty months to work through both units; even a heavy 5,000-page month stretches the pair across a full year. That is the point of the format: the toner stops being a monthly errand and becomes something you think about once or twice a year.
What does a page from this 2-pack cost?
The arithmetic is straightforward. At $171.96 for two cartridges, each 106R1306 works out to $85.98, and spread across the rated 60,000 pages the pair delivers black output at about 0.29 cents per page. There is no contract and no per-page billing behind that figure — it is simply this listing's price divided by its rated yield, which makes it the honest number to compare against whatever your department currently pays for copies and prints.
Why two standard cartridges instead of one oversized unit?
Because a shared copier cannot wait. When the first 106R1306 fades, the second one is already on the shelf: the swap takes a couple of minutes and the machine is straight back into the copy queue. The spare also stays sealed until the moment it is needed, so none of its 30,000 pages age in an open box. For a workgroup machine that other people's deadlines depend on, that instant backup is worth more than a marginally larger single cartridge.
How do I tell when the first cartridge is truly finished?
The low-toner message on the panel is an estimate, not the end — output normally stays clean well past the first warning. The genuine end shows on the page: copies that fade toward one edge, grey patches in solid black areas, streaks that survive a paper change. Rocking the 106R1306 gently side to side can redistribute the last of the toner and buy a few dozen extra pages in a pinch, but once the fading returns, the cartridge is done and the sealed spare goes in.
Which WorkCentre models does this cartridge fit?
The 106R1306 serves the whole 52xx workgroup line covered by this listing: the WorkCentre 5222, WorkCentre 5225, WorkCentre 5230, WorkCentre 5225A and WorkCentre 5230A. The quickest confirmation before ordering is the code on the cartridge coming out of your machine: if it reads 106R1306, this 2-pack is the correct refill.
What cover comes with the 2-pack?
Every cartridge is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, judged cartridge by cartridge — a unit that arrives faulty or fails early is replaced or refunded, not argued over. Orders ship from whichever of our four US warehouses — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California — is closest to you, with full terms on our shipping & returns page. Support runs Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and the rest of the range for these machines sits in our Xerox catalogue.
