Frequently Asked Questions

On our shared office printer, everybody sees the magenta warning and nobody acts on it. What then?

Then the cartridge dies on the worst possible morning, usually ten minutes before a client deck is due. On a networked machine like the 7100DN the warning is visible to the whole floor, which makes it nobody's job. The working fix is dull but effective: whoever spots faded reds first owns the swap, and the replacement 106R02603 gets ordered the same day, not after the next warning.

We print double-sided almost exclusively — does that stretch the cartridge further?

It stretches the paper budget, not the toner. The 4,500-page rating counts printed sides, and duplexing puts one printed side on each face of the sheet — the cartridge lays down the same amount of magenta per page either way. Expect the same cartridge life as single-sided printing at the same page volume.

Our report charts have turned strange — red bars print orange, purple headings print blue, but yellow and cyan look true. Why?

Because chart colors are mixtures, and magenta is the missing ingredient in both of yours. Red bars are magenta plus yellow, so they slide orange as magenta fades; purple headings are magenta plus cyan, so they collapse toward blue. Colors built without magenta hold up, which is exactly the pattern that names the 106R02603 as the empty one.

The heading calls these "Cartridges" — how many arrive if I order this?

One cartridge. The plural is how the catalog entry is phrased, not what ships: this listing is a single 106R02603 magenta unit for one change. Departments that never want to wait on a delivery keep a second unit in the supply cabinet as a separate purchase.

What does 4,500 pages translate to on a department machine?

At $71.01 the arithmetic is roughly 1.58 cents a page. Shared machines burn through ratings faster than the number suggests — a floor printing a few hundred color pages a week can see a cartridge out in a couple of months, and high-coverage decks shorten that further. The 5% coverage basis behind the rating is kind compared with presentation work.

How is a shared office covered if the cartridge is faulty?

Each unit carries a 1-year warranty, and returns stay free for a full year should it not suit the machine — the full wording is on our shipping and returns page. Replacements dispatch from our Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California warehouses, and the support desk is open Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
