Dell 331-0611

The 331-0611 belongs to the black toner family serving Dell's 2355 and 2355dn monochrome multifunction printers. A single black cartridge handles every function on these machines — printing, copying and fax output alike — and Dell catalogues the family under several numbers, including 330-2208 and 330-2209, the letter codes CR963, NX993, NX994, HX756 and R189G, the additional part numbers R2W64 and YTVTC, and the kit number 593-10329. Every listing on this shelf is the high-yield build of that cartridge.

Multifunction printers in small offices tend to be the only printer anyone uses, which makes their single cartridge a single point of failure worth planning around. With standard and higher-yield options in the set, offices can tune cartridge choice to actual print volume and minimize how often toner gets swapped on the machine that also handles the day's scanning and copying.

Which cartridge should you buy?

This shelf stocks the high-yield build, which is the right default for a multifunction machine: copying and fax printing add pages that never pass through anyone's print queue, so these printers consume toner faster than their print volume alone suggests. Singles suit a single 2355 with a spare kept beside it. The two- and three-packs fit offices that run the machine daily or keep a small fleet of them — one order covers several swaps, and the premium-quality three-pack is the higher-grade build of the same cartridge. Because the machine is also the office copier, running completely out of toner stops more than printing; keep the spare count at one minimum, always.

Chip, toner and everyday use

The easiest way to stay ahead of this cartridge is the printer's own supplies status page, printable from the control panel under Reports or Maintenance: it shows remaining life without guessing, and the same data appears on the printer's built-in web page if you browse to its IP address. The cartridge chip counts pages at assumed coverage, so a week of heavy copying can move the estimate quickly. Before installing a replacement, pull the sealing tape in one smooth motion and check the cartridge shutter opens freely. Compatible cartridges here are covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 331-0611 number cover that 330-2209 does not?

Nothing separate — the 331-0611, R2W64 and YTVTC numbers are additional Dell part numbers in the same toner family as 330-2208 and 330-2209 and the CR963, NX993, NX994, HX756 and R189G letter codes, with 593-10329 as the kit number. They identify the same toner cartridges, so match the number on your installed cartridge to be sure.

This printer supports extra paper trays — does that affect toner use?

No. Extra trays do not change toner consumption at all: they only add paper capacity and media flexibility. Toner use depends purely on what is printed, so adding a second tray for letterhead will not make the cartridges in this family run out any faster.

How do I print a supplies status page to check cartridge levels?

Use the printer's control panel menu under Reports or Maintenance to print a supplies status page, which shows remaining life for the installed cartridge. Many Dell printers also expose the same information through a built-in web page: type the printer's IP address into a browser to see live levels without printing anything.
