Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the cyan on our shared printer run out faster than expected?

Because a networked printer serves everyone's colour habits at once. The 6010N's N means it sits on the network taking jobs from several desks, and every user's charts, screenshots and colour documents draw on the same 106R1627. One person's photo-heavy week can spend what a single user would spread over a month — the cartridge is not faulty, it is simply feeding a crowd.

What exactly am I ordering?

One cyan cartridge for $31.99. The listing title says "Cartridges," but the box holds a single 106R1627. Its shelf-mates are separate part numbers — black 106R1630, magenta 106R1628, yellow 106R1629 — each ordered on its own when that colour gives out.

How is the 1,400-page figure measured?

At 5 percent page coverage, the industry-wide test basis: a page with light text and a small graphic. Real shared-office printing covers more of the page, so treat 1,400 as the ceiling and your team's colour mix as the real governor. At $31.99, the rated cost works out near 2.28 cents a page.

Does the network model use a different cyan from the plain 6010?

No — networking changes how jobs reach the printer, not what it prints with. The Phaser 6010N takes the same cyan as the Phaser 6010, the Phaser 6000 and the WorkCentre 6015 family, so one spare covers mixed fleets.

Someone else's job printed faded. Should I change the cartridge mid-queue?

Change it when you see the fade — the swap takes a minute and jobs already queued will simply print correctly once the new cyan is in. There is no warm-up ritual beyond a page or two for the new cartridge to settle, and no need to clear the queue or restart the printer.

What cover does the cartridge carry?

A one-year warranty and free returns for a full year, as set out on our shipping and returns page. Stock ships from IL, PA, GA and CA, and support answers Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

About This Phaser 6010N Cyan Cartridge

This 106R1627 at $31.99 is the cyan supply for the networked Phaser 6010N, rated at 1,400 pages. Shared printers burn colour on other people's schedules, so cyan is usually the first cartridge a small team finds empty — and the cheapest to keep ahead of, with one spare by the machine. It is the same cartridge its non-networked siblings use, which keeps stocking simple. The full compatible range for the platform sits on our Xerox toner page.
