Color Laser 2155CDN

The Dell 2155CDN completes the 2155 line: a 24-page-per-minute color multifunction printer with automatic duplexing, network connectivity, and a 35-sheet automatic document feeder for unattended copying, scanning, and faxing. It feeds on the same high-yield family as its siblings — black 331-0719 at about 3,000 pages, with cyan 331-0716, magenta 331-0717, and yellow 331-0718 at about 2,500 pages apiece.

This variant is built for offices that process real paper volume. Multi-page contracts run through the feeder instead of being hand-fed sheet by sheet, batch scans happen unattended, and long fax jobs queue up without supervision. Duplexing folds the paper bill in half on two-sided work. Through all of it, the machine's appetite for toner is the operating cost that matters — and that is fixed at the cartridge shelf, not at the printer.

Toner Cartridges for Dell 2155CDN

Which cartridge should you buy?

Volume changes the buying logic. A 2155CDN that chews through contracts and scan batches can finish a black cartridge in weeks, so the sensible pattern is a full spare set on the shelf — when any slot runs dry mid-job, the replacement is already in the building. Single cartridges suit the colors, which fade at different rates depending on what the office prints. Duplexing, remember, saves paper rather than toner: a two-sided page carries the same toner as two single sides. What lowers the toner bill is the high-yield build itself — every listing here is that build, in standard compatible or premium form, so cost per page stays at the family's floor whichever set you choose.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Feeders and duplexers make this a mechanically busy machine, so keep its supplies simple: change one cartridge at a time, seat it until it clicks, and close every cover firmly before the next job — a cover left slightly open is a classic cause of both jams and recognition complaints. The automatic document feeder copies from the same four cartridges as network printing, so a faded scan-to-file result is often just a low color announcing itself. Keep unopened spares in a climate-controlled room; heat and damp are the two things that reliably shorten a stored cartridge's useful life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cartridges fit the Dell 2155CDN?

Dell lists 331-0719, 331-0716, 331-0717, and 331-0718 as the toner numbers for the 2155CDN — black first, then cyan, magenta, and yellow. When in doubt, pull the spent cartridge and compare its printed number before ordering.

Can I keep an extra set of 2155CDN cartridges on the shelf?

Yes, and for this model it is the smart pattern. Toner cartridges do not truly expire, but poor storage can clump or leak them: leave the set sealed in a climate-controlled spot — not a garage or an attic — and it will be ready the moment the printer calls for it.

Should I buy high-yield or standard cartridges for the 2155CDN?

High-yield cartridges fit the same slots as standard ones; the difference is simply how much toner is inside. Everything listed on this page is the high-yield version. On a machine with this one's throughput, the larger build means fewer interruptions and a lower cost per page.

Does duplex printing change how much toner the 2155CDN uses?

Not per printed side. Duplexing prints the same two pages of content onto one sheet, so what you save is paper, shelf space, and filing bulk — the toner consumption of the job itself stays the same.
