Dell 310-3547

This page is devoted to the 310-3547 black toner family for Dell's S2500 and S2500n monochrome lasers. Dell sold these supplies under a cluster of numbers — 310-3546, 310-3547, 310-3548 and 310-3674, along with the letter codes 2Y667, R0887 and R0886 — but they all describe the black cartridge set for the same two machines. Every listing stocked here is the high-yield version, in a standard build and a Premium Quality build.

The S2500 line is older equipment that keeps refusing to retire: simple, single-function mono lasers that small offices and home users hold onto because they still work. For machines like these, the economics run in toner, not hardware — a compatible high-yield cartridge keeps the cost per page low enough that replacing the printer rarely pencils out. One black cartridge does everything these printers do, so keeping an S2500 supplied is about as simple as printer ownership gets.

Which cartridge should you buy?

All three listings are the same high-yield cartridge class for the same printers, so the decision is between builds rather than sizes. The standard compatible listing is the value pick and the one most S2500 owners need. The model-named S2500 listing is the identical supply sold under the printer's name — handy when you are matching a reorder note that says 'S2500 toner' rather than a part number. The Premium Quality build is the step-up option for owners who want the closest match to the original cartridge's fit and finish on a machine they plan to keep for years more.

Chip, toner and everyday use

On a printer of this vintage, clean contacts matter: if a new cartridge is not recognized, power down, reseat it firmly, and check that no packing material remains on the chip contact. Light or patchy print midway through a cartridge usually means the toner has settled — take the cartridge out and rock it gently from side to side to level the powder, then reinstall. Because many S2500s print lightly these days, store the spare sealed in a cool, dry place and rotate stock so the oldest cartridge is used first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which number is the right one — 310-3547 or 2Y667?

Both name this same cartridge family. Dell printed different part numbers on different production runs and packaging, so match whichever number is on the cartridge you are removing; the listings here fit either way.

Why does one printer have so many cartridge numbers?

Dell assigned multiple part numbers to the same supplies across the printer's long life — retail, direct and regional channels each carried their own codes. The cartridges behind those numbers are interchangeable for the S2500 and S2500n.

Is it worth buying toner for a printer this old?

Usually, yes. The S2500's running cost with a compatible high-yield cartridge is low, and the machines are mechanically simple. As long as print quality is still clean, a cartridge costs far less than replacing the printer and relearning a new one.
