DELL (310-8092, 310-8094, 310-8096, 310-8098)

The 310-8092 black, 310-8094 cyan, 310-8096 magenta and 310-8098 yellow cartridges form the four-color high-yield toner set for Dell's 3110 and 3115 color laser family — the 3110cn network printer and the 3115cn multifunction. All four colors feed a single-pass engine, and each cartridge is replaced independently as its level falls.

These were workgroup machines, bought to produce brochures, presentations and reports in-house rather than send them out. That kind of output is hard on color balance: a page whose blues have drifted because one cartridge is nearly empty stands out immediately in a client-facing document. Owners learned to treat the four levels as a set of gauges worth watching together, and to keep the next set of cartridges in the building rather than on a supplier's shelf.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Every cartridge on this page is the high-yield build, so the choice is between singles and sets rather than capacities. A single cartridge answers a single low color, and on a single-pass engine that is often the smartest move: swapping in one fresh cartridge restores the balance without discarding toner left in the other three. A full set makes sense when several colors are low at once, when the printer is new to your office, or before a long run of color work where a mid-job cartridge change would spoil the batch. The premium set is the same four cartridges in the premium-quality line, for offices that standardize on it.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Four chips, four separate level readings: the 3110 and 3115 family tracks each cartridge on its own, and a compatible cartridge with the matching chip reports normally from the first page. Handle a fresh cartridge by its ends, rock it gently a few times to loosen and level the toner, and slide it in until it seats — forcing it risks the seal. Yield ratings are set at 5% coverage, and presentation pages with solid color blocks consume several times that, so treat the gauge rather than the page count as the truth. Keep spares in their bags until the day they are needed; opened cartridges age faster.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which printers take the 310-8092 series?

Dell's 3110 and 3115 color laser family, including the 3110cn printer and the 3115cn multifunction. Printer and MFP versions draw from exactly the same four cartridges.

Which number is magenta?

Magenta is 310-8096. The set runs 310-8092 black, 310-8094 cyan, 310-8096 magenta and 310-8098 yellow.

Should I replace all four cartridges at once?

Only when several are genuinely low. Each cartridge is independent, so replacing one restores that color without waste; a full set swap is best reserved for when the levels have fallen together or a long color run is coming.

Does the 3115cn multifunction use the same toner as the 3110cn?

Yes — the scanning and copying hardware sits on top of the same print engine, so the 3115cn takes the identical 310-8092 series cartridges as the printer-only models.
