Frequently Asked Questions

The name says "Toner Cartridges," plural — how many are in the box?

One. This is a single-cartridge listing at $32.79, despite the plural wording in the title — that phrasing follows how the range is catalogued, not what is packed. What you receive is one 106R01281 black cartridge, rated at 2,500 pages. If you want spares in the same delivery, the 2-pack, 3-pack and 5-pack of this same cartridge are listed separately.

What sort of machine is this cartridge working in?

The Phaser 6130 is a compact colour laser built for one desk or a small team — a machine chosen for offices where space matters and most output is everyday documents. It is a colour printer, but its black cartridge carries the bulk of the workload: letters, statements, labels and reports.

When is one cartridge the right amount to buy?

When the printer's pace is gentle. A single 2,500-page cartridge can serve a lightly used machine for many months, so there is little sense in paying ahead for spares that sit in a drawer. Singles also suit anyone trying this cartridge in their 6130 for the first time — get the printer running, see how the pages come out, and let the machine's own appetite decide the next order size.

How do I keep an eye on how much black is left?

The printer reports its toner levels through its status display and the driver on your computer, so the black's progress is easy to check before it becomes urgent. Print itself gives the late warning: text losing its density, blacks turning charcoal. Checking the level every so often — rather than waiting for faded pages — leaves time for a replacement to arrive.

Do the colour cartridges need changing when the black does?

No. In this printer every colour is an independent cartridge with its own part number, emptied at its own rate and replaced on its own. The black going in does not disturb the colours, and a healthy colour set needs no attention just because the black has run out.

What warranty and returns cover this single cartridge?

A one-year warranty and free returns for a year, with the full terms on our shipping and returns page. We ship from warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and support runs Monday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST. Other cartridges for this family are gathered on the Xerox toner page.
