Dell 310-5402
The Dell 310-5402 is part of the black toner cartridge family for Dell's 1700 and 1710 series monochrome laser printers — the 1700, 1700n, 1710, and 1710n. These single-cartridge printers keep supplies simple: one black cartridge does everything, in standard and high-capacity sizes.
The high-capacity option stretches to roughly 6,000 pages, which transforms the economics of these compact printers — fewer replacements and a far lower cost per page. Whether you choose genuine OEM or a quality compatible cartridge, sizing up is the easiest saving available on this series.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 310-5400, 310-5401 and 310-5402 cartridges?
These three numbers are Dell's part numbers for this printer family's black toner cartridges, covering standard and higher-capacity options for the same slot. Check your printer's manual or the yield printed on the box to choose between standard and high-capacity for your print volume.
This is a monochrome printer, do I need anything besides the toner cartridge?
For day-to-day printing, no: the single black toner cartridge (310-5400-series) is the only regular consumable. The printer's drum or imaging unit lasts far longer and has its own separate part number and replacement interval, so do not confuse the two when reordering.
Pages are coming out with a vertical black line, is the toner low?
A sharp vertical line usually means a scratched or dirty drum inside the toner cartridge, not low toner, so remove the 310-540x cartridge and look for a mark on the drum surface at the same position as the line. If the line appears on every page in the same spot, replace the cartridge; intermittent lines can sometimes be cleared by gently wiping the drum with a dry cloth.
