Dell 330-2209

Everything on this page is built around the 330-2209, the high-yield black toner cartridge for Dell's 2335 and 2355 monochrome multifunction printers. The family also includes the sibling number 330-2208, and Dell has labeled the same supplies with the letter codes CR963, NX993, NX994, HX756 and R189G, with 593-10329 used as a kit number. Because these are multifunction machines, the one black cartridge covers printing, copying and fax output alike — there is no second supply to track.

A 2335 or 2355 usually sits where the whole office passes by: front desks, shared workrooms, small clinics and school offices. That placement means its cartridge feeds a constant mix of print jobs, walk-up copies and incoming faxes, and it tends to empty on the office's schedule rather than one person's. The listings here are all high-yield, sized for that shared workload, and the multi-packs exist for sites that would rather reorder a few times a year than a few times a quarter.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Every listing here is the same high-yield cartridge, so the choice is packaging, not performance. A single cartridge suits one lightly used machine. The 4-pack and 5-pack cut the per-cartridge price and keep a reserve for a printer that cannot wait on shipping, and the 8-pack is aimed at sites running several 2335 or 2355 units or one very busy one. The Premium Quality line is the step-up build of the same cartridge for offices that want the closest match to the original's fit and finish. Whichever you choose, match the number on the cartridge coming out of the machine — 330-2209 or any of its alternate codes names the same supply.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Swap the cartridge with the machine powered on so its chip registers the new supply and the toner gauge resets. On a multifunction printer, remember that copies consume toner exactly like prints, so a week of heavy copying can move the gauge faster than the print queue suggests. Keep a sealed spare in the same room as the machine; these office workhorses rarely warn anyone before they run dry. If scans and copies show streaks while computer prints come out clean, wipe the scanner glass first — that fault lives in the scanner, not in the toner.

Frequently Asked Questions

My cartridge says CR963. Is that the same as the 330-2209?

Yes. CR963, NX993, NX994, HX756 and R189G are Dell's letter-code part numbers for the same toner family as the 330-2208 and 330-2209 numeric codes. Any of those numbers on your current cartridge means the listings on this page fit.

Does copying use more toner than printing?

Page for page, no: a copy is a print of a scan and uses the same toner. Dense originals — forms with shaded boxes, dark graphics — do lay down more toner per page than plain text, so heavy copying of that material empties a cartridge sooner.

Why do copies have streaks when prints from the computer are clean?

That split points at the scanner, not the cartridge. Dirt or a mark on the scanner glass or in the document feeder prints through on every copy and scan while direct prints stay clean. Clean the glass and try again before replacing toner.

Which pack size fits a two-machine office?

Start with the 4-pack: it covers both machines plus a spare each, and it is usually the point where the per-cartridge saving becomes meaningful. Move to the 8-pack only if both machines print heavily every day.
