Frequently Asked Questions

What does day-to-day printing cost on a Dell B2360 with this cartridge?

About 1.07 cents per page in toner. The cartridge for the B2360 — Dell part number 331-9805 — costs $91.20 and is rated at up to 8,500 pages, so a small workgroup printing 50 pages a day spends roughly 54 cents a day on toner. That per-page figure, not the sticker price, is the honest way to compare this cartridge with any other B2360 supply.

How long does one cartridge last in a small workgroup?

It depends on the group's output. At 500 pages a month, a single 331-9805 can run well over a year; at 1,500 pages a month, expect a change roughly every five to six months. Because the B2360 is a mono machine, every page — documents, emails, labels — draws on this one black cartridge, so its 8,500-page rating is the whole supply story.

Which cartridge code does the B2360 take?

The 331-9805. That one code covers the B2360 and its close relatives in Dell's B3460 and B3465 lines, which is why the same cartridge appears under several model names across our catalogue. When you reorder, match the 331-9805 code from the old cartridge's label and you cannot pick the wrong box.

Print is fading down one side of the page — is the cartridge finished?

Possibly, but check before you bin it. Take the cartridge out and rock it gently side to side a few times to redistribute the toner, then print a test page. If the faded side darkens, the cartridge is low but still has life; order its replacement now. If nothing improves, the cartridge is at the end of its rating — an even fade across the whole page points the same way.

Should we keep a spare cartridge on the shelf?

For a shared B2360, yes. A spare 331-9805 turns a toner-out stoppage into a two-minute swap, and an unopened cartridge stores perfectly well in a cool, dry cupboard kept out of direct sunlight. Small teams that print in bursts — month-end runs, mailings — feel the benefit most, because those are exactly the jobs that cannot wait for a delivery.

What cover comes with this cartridge?

It is protected by a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns, and our support team answers Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST. Orders leave from whichever of our warehouses — IL, PA, GA or CA — is best placed to reach you. The full returns terms are set out on our shipping & returns page.

What does a careful first fitting of the 331-9805 involve?

Take the old cartridge out, give the new 331-9805 a gentle side-to-side rock to level the toner inside, pull its seal, and slide it in until it seats firmly. Then print a page you know well. Even, properly dark output from that first test page is the confirmation you want; if it looks uneven, reseat the cartridge once before judging it. The whole job takes minutes and needs no tools.

How do we find out what this cartridge yields in our workgroup specifically?

Note the machine's page counter and the date on the day the 331-9805 is fitted. When it is finally replaced, read the counter again — the difference is your workgroup's true yield for this cartridge, under your documents and your coverage. Two cartridges measured this way and reordering stops being guesswork: you will know your interval in months and can time the next order to land just before it is needed.

Our output is heavy — labels, forms and shaded tables. What should we expect from the 8,500-page rating?

Fewer pages than the headline, honestly. The rating is measured at the standard 5% coverage; a shaded table or a label run lays down far more toner per page than a plain letter does. A workgroup living on dense documents will see each 331-9805 finish earlier than 8,500 pages, and its per-page cost will rise accordingly. The rating stays useful as the comparison standard — your counter tells you what your mix actually delivers.

What should we do with the spent cartridge once it is out?

Slip it into the new cartridge's packaging so any toner residue stays contained, and keep it for a few days while the replacement proves itself on real work. Then recycle it through an office-supply recycling channel rather than general waste. Holding the spent 331-9805 briefly costs nothing and means that if the new unit misbehaves, the old one's story — when fitted, how it faded — is still on hand to tell.
