Frequently Asked Questions

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

One. The plural wording is catalog naming for the Phaser 6280 series, but this listing ships a single magenta cartridge, the 106R01393, at $55.94. That is worth knowing before you order: if your printer is only asking for magenta, one cartridge is exactly what the job needs, and nothing about this box is a multi-pack in disguise.

Our logo's red keeps printing orange — will this cartridge fix that?

If the cause is a tired magenta cartridge, yes. A printed red is magenta laid down with yellow; when the magenta side of that mix runs low, the red loses its depth and tips into orange, and pinks wash out at the same time. A fresh 106R01393 restores the missing half of the mix, so the logo goes back to the red it is supposed to be — try one known-red page right after the swap to confirm.

Only the magenta is low — do the other cartridges need changing too?

No. Each color is a separate unit with its own level, and there is no rule that says they move together. Swap the magenta, leave the others in place, and let each cartridge live out its own life. Changing healthy cartridges early only spends money; the printer will tell you about each one when its turn comes.

How long does a 5,900-page rating last in a small office?

Longer than most people expect. The 106R01393 is rated at up to 5,900 pages at the standard 5% coverage, so an office printing a few dozen color pages a day is looking at many months from one cartridge, and even a few hundred color pages a week stretches it across a season. Photo-heavy and full-page color work shortens that, because those pages drink far more than 5% coverage — but for everyday documents the rating is generous.

How should I keep the spare until the printer asks for it?

Sealed in its box, lying flat, in a cool dry cupboard away from radiators, sunny windows and damp floors. Toner does not spoil on a shelf while the seal is intact, so a spare 106R01393 bought ahead of the warning costs you nothing in life — and saves the scramble when the old cartridge fades in the middle of a print run.

What protection comes with this cartridge, and how is it delivered?

It is covered by a 1-year warranty, and returns are free for a full year — the details live on our shipping and returns page. Stock ships from warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California, and support is on hand Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
