Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check this is the cartridge my Phaser 6010 needs?

Look at the cartridge coming out. Xerox built the 6010's black slot around one supply — the 106R1630 — and that code is printed on the old cartridge's label. This listing is that cartridge in compatible form: black, rated at up to 2,000 pages, $29.92.

The name says "Toner Cartridges" — am I ordering more than one?

No. Despite the plural in the title, this is a single-cartridge listing: one 106R1630 arrives in the box. The wording is a catalog habit, not a quantity — if your 6010 needs a spare on the shelf too, the multi-packs of this same cartridge are listed separately.

Why does the black run out so much faster than the colors in a 6010?

Because most of what a desktop printer produces is text. Every letter, invoice and form is laid down in black, while the color cartridges only work when a page asks for color. It is normal for the black to cycle through several replacements while the original colors are still going.

What will 2,000 pages look like in real use?

The rating assumes about 5% coverage per page. At that level the cartridge runs near 1.50 cents of toner per page at this price. Bold headings, logos and dense tables push coverage up and the count down; everyday correspondence tracks the rating closely.

Does it fit only the Phaser 6010?

No — the whole platform shares this black cartridge: the Phaser 6000 and 6000B, this Phaser 6010, the networked Phaser 6010N, and the WorkCentre 6015 series, WorkCentre 6015V/B and WorkCentre 6015V/N included.

What am I covered by after it arrives?

A one-year warranty and free returns across a full year, set out on the shipping and returns page. We dispatch from warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA; support runs Monday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST; and the broader catalog for these machines is on the Xerox toner page.
