Frequently Asked Questions

Why would a shared C605 go through black toner faster than its page counter suggests?

Because a multifunction machine spends black toner on more than printing. Every photocopy, every scanned-to-print workflow and every incoming fax page draws from the same 106R03903 cartridge, and walk-up copying is the load nobody budgets for — a few dozen copied forms a day quietly adds thousands of pages a year. On a shared machine the cartridge's rated 12,200 pages therefore arrive sooner than a print-only estimate predicts, which is exactly the pattern this two-cartridge box is sized for: one unit working in the machine, one sealed on the shelf, and no gap when the copy load spikes.

What is actually in the box, and what does each cartridge cost?

Two individually sealed 106R03903 black cartridges, each rated at up to 12,200 pages, for $57.94 the pair. That is $28.97 per cartridge, and across the combined 24,400 rated pages the pair works out to about 0.24 cents per page — figures taken from this listing's own price and ratings. The second cartridge is a shelf spare, not a different product: same code, same capacity, same coverage, ready to swap in the moment the first one fades.

How long does a 2-pack realistically last a busy team?

Work it back from the team's paper use. A workgroup that prints and copies around 2,000 black pages a month will take roughly a year to finish both cartridges; at 4,000 pages a month the pair lasts about six months; a heavy department at 8,000 a month should plan on roughly three months per box. The ratings behind those estimates assume standard text coverage, so a team printing dense forms or full-page graphics will land at the shorter end — but even then, the spare on the shelf means the machine itself never waits on a delivery.

How should the spare cartridge be stored until it is needed?

Sealed in its bag, flat, in a cool dry cupboard away from direct sunlight and radiators — toner cartridges are shelf-stable for a long time when the seal stays intact. Keep the box where the team can find it and mark the purchase date on it; when the installed unit runs out, fit the spare and reorder the next box the same day, so the shelf never sits empty. Before fitting a cartridge that has waited a few months, rock it gently side to side a few times to level the toner that settled during storage.

Which machines does this 2-pack fit?

Any machine that takes the 106R03903: the Versalink C600 N, Versalink C600DN, Versalink C600 DT, Versalink C600 DX, Versalink C600 DXF and Versalink C600 DXP printers, plus the Versalink C605 X, Versalink C605 XP, Versalink C605 XTF, Versalink C605 XTP and Versalink C605XF multifunction models. One box can therefore cover a printer and an MFP sitting side by side. Confirm with the code on the cartridge you are replacing — 106R03903 is the match.

If one cartridge in the pair is faulty, do I have to return both?

No. Each cartridge is covered on its own by the 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns that come with this 2-pack, so a faulty unit goes back by itself and is replaced or refunded while its twin keeps working. Orders ship from whichever of our four US warehouses — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California — is closest to you, with the full terms on our shipping & returns page. Support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and the wider range for this platform is in our Xerox catalogue.

About This Xerox 106R03903 Black 2-Pack for the VersaLink C600 and C605

This listing is a 2-pack of compatible Xerox 106R03903 black toner cartridges for the VersaLink C600 and C605 families: two sealed cartridges rated at up to 12,200 pages each — 24,400 pages in the box — priced at $57.94, which is $28.97 per cartridge and about 0.24 cents per rated page. It is built for machines whose black load includes copying as well as printing, where running dry mid-week is a team problem rather than a personal one: one cartridge works, one waits sealed on the shelf, and reordering happens on a calm schedule instead of in a panic. Each cartridge is covered by our 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns.
