Frequently Asked Questions

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

One. The plural in the listing title is catalog shorthand for the product line, not a count of the contents: this listing is a single yellow cartridge, the 106R01479, at $31.41. We would rather say that plainly here than have anyone open a box expecting a multipack. If your office wants several on hand, order the quantity you need — each one arrives as its own individually sealed unit, ready to go straight onto the shelf.

The yellow slices in our charts have nearly vanished — what happened?

Yellow is such a pale toner that a chart slice printed with too little of it can fade almost to white against the paper, while the blue and red slices around it still look bold. That disappearing act is usually the first visible sign the yellow supply is spent: the printer keeps laying down what it has, there simply is not enough pigment left to hold the color. When the lightest color in a document washes out first, the lightest cartridge is where to look.

Which number do I quote when I reorder this cartridge?

Quote 106R01479. Every color position in this machine answers to its own part number, and the yellow's code is printed on the label of the cartridge you pull out, so the empty in your hand doubles as the reorder slip. Ordering by the code rather than by color name alone prevents the familiar mix-up of a fresh box arriving in cyan or magenta. The code on the box and the code on your old cartridge should match exactly before anything is opened.

Our machine is the networked DN model — is this still the right yellow?

Yes. The Phaser 6140DN differs from its siblings in networking and duplexing, not in what it eats: the base Phaser 6140, the Phaser 6140N and the DN all take this same 106R01479 yellow cartridge. A mixed fleet of 6140 variants can therefore share one spare on the shelf instead of stocking a different yellow for each badge.

At our pace, how long should 2,000 rated pages actually last?

Translate the rating into your own calendar. An office printing, say, twenty-five color pages a day would take roughly four working months to walk through 2,000 pages — provided those pages look like the test: text with modest color. Halve the expectation if the daily mix is flyers, photos and full-color charts, because heavy coverage spends the rating several times faster. However your arithmetic lands, the practical rule is the same: when the printer first warns about yellow, order then, not when the greens turn blue.

What protection stands behind this cartridge after it arrives?

A 1-year warranty stands behind it, with free returns running a full year too, so an early failure is exchanged rather than argued over; the details are written out on our shipping and returns page. Parcels are dispatched from warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California, and real people staff support Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST. Everything else this platform uses is collected on our Xerox page.

About This Phaser 6140 Yellow Cartridge (106R01479)

Catalog names aside, what this listing sells is one thing: a single compatible yellow cartridge for the Phaser 6140 range, coded 106R01479 and priced at $31.41, with a yield rating of up to 2,000 pages at standard coverage. Yellow does quiet, structural work in a color printer — it is rarely the headline color, yet it decides whether greens read as green, whether oranges stay warm and whether pale highlights survive at all. Because it fades without drama, it is the supply most offices replace latest and notice most once it is gone. Keep one sealed spare beside the machine and the 6140's whole palette stays honest.
