Frequently Asked Questions

What does printing on the B1163 actually cost per page?

Around 2.18 cents per page in toner: the cartridge costs $32.76 and is rated at up to 1,500 pages. That is not the cheapest per-page figure in our catalogue, and we would rather say so plainly — compact printers like the Dell B1163 use compact cartridges, and compact cartridges always carry a higher per-page cost than the big cartridges in departmental machines.

Why does a small printer use a small cartridge?

It is a size and price-class trade-off. The B1163 was built as an affordable, desk-sized mono printer, and its cartridge — the Dell 331-7335 — is sized to match. You pay less up front for both printer and cartridge, and in exchange you change cartridges more often and pay more per page than a high-volume office does.

How many cartridges a year will our B1163 get through?

At 200 pages a month, about one and a half cartridges a year. At 500 pages a month, roughly four. If your count is creeping toward the second figure, the multi-packs of the 331-7335 — which bring the per-cartridge price down from $32.76 toward $16.12 in the 10-pack — will save you real money over a year.

Is there a bigger, high-yield version for the B1163?

This listing is the family's standard 1,500-page cartridge, and the B1163 works with the one 331-7335 size. The practical way to cut running costs is not a different cartridge but a bigger pack of the same one: 2, 3, 5 and 10 packs all hold the identical cartridge at a lower per-cartridge price.

How do I confirm this is the right cartridge before I open the box?

Check the code on your old cartridge's label: if it reads 331-7335, this is the same cartridge. The code covers the whole B1160 series — B1160, B1160W, B1163, B1163W, B1165 and B1165NFW — so it is also the right check if the cartridge is shared between machines.

What warranty and returns cover it?

A 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns, and support from our team Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST. We ship from warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA. The full policy is on our shipping & returns page.
