Color Laser 5100CN
The Dell 5100CN is a workgroup color laser built for offices that print color in volume — around 22 pages per minute in full color, with the paper handling and duty cycle to serve a busy department. Marketing materials, client proposals, and training documents come out vivid and professional.
Its CMYK cartridge set (310-5807 family) is available in standard and high yields; high-volume color users save significantly with high-yield. We stock genuine OEM Dell 5100CN toner and compatible cartridges that reproduce rich color and sharp text at a much lower cost per page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cartridges fit the Dell 5100CN?
Dell lists 310-5807, 310-5810, 310-5809, 310-5808 as the verified toner numbers for the 5100CN. When in doubt, pull out the spent cartridge and compare its part number before ordering.
My 5100CN used up all the magenta but barely touched yellow. Why?
Don't replace the full set when one 5100CN color runs dry — the other three cartridges (310-5807, 310-5810, 310-5809, 310-5808) still have life. Uneven depletion is by design; buy single replacement cartridges for the colors you actually consume.
Should I clean inside the 5100CN when changing toner?
Light toner dust inside the 5100CN is normal — when you swap a cartridge, take a moment to wipe the accessible surfaces with a dry cloth. Also run the printer's built-in cleaning cycle periodically to keep the transfer path clean.
