Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this cartridge sold under the number 310-6640 instead of a printer name?

Because the number is the more precise identifier. Printer badges get remembered loosely and written down wrong; the cartridge itself carries one designation, 310-6640, and ordering against that number removes the guesswork. If your reorder note, your last invoice or the label on the empty cartridge says 310-6640, this listing is written for exactly that check.

Which printer does the 310-6640 belong to?

Dell's Laser 1100 — the small mono laser this cartridge was specified for. The family connection matters practically: singles and multi-packs across this range all carry the same 310-6640 number, so a shelf organized by that one code never mixes in a near-lookalike cartridge meant for a different machine.

What does the 2,000-page rating actually assume?

It assumes ordinary text pages at standard coverage — roughly 5% of the page covered in toner. A page of dense graphics, big bold headings or full-page forms uses several times that, so real life output lands below the rating in proportion to how heavy your pages are. Treat 2,000 as the yardstick for comparing cartridges, not as a counter that runs in the printer.

What does one cartridge work out to per printed page?

At $38.99 across a rated 2,000 pages, about 1.95 cents a page. That is the honest economics of a compact personal laser: economical to own, not the cheapest way to print a page. If your volume climbs into thousands of pages a month, the maths starts arguing for a larger machine; at household and desk-side volumes, it is a fair price for the convenience.

Is one cartridge enough, or should a spare sit behind it?

For most 1100 owners, one working cartridge plus a reorder when prints fade is enough — delivery is a matter of days. The exception is anyone whose printer supports something that cannot pause: a home business shipping labels, a sole trader invoicing. For them a single spare is cheap insurance; beyond that, stock stops making sense at this scale.
