Laser 5535DN
Speed is the Dell 5535DN's reason to exist: a monochrome multifunction that prints, copies, scans and faxes at around 52 pages per minute, with duplexing and networking built in for departments whose document volume never lets up. A machine that fast consumes toner in proportion, so its range is built around one extra-high-yield cartridge, the 330-9792, sold singly and in a 5-pack, with a MICR version listed for check-printing work.
Departmental engines like this one live or die on uptime. When dozens of people route their printing, copying and scanning through a single unit, a toner change is a queue of colleagues standing around — so the cartridge strategy for the 5535DN is about long intervals and shelf stock, not about squeezing the last page out of a small cartridge.

Which cartridge should you buy?
There is one cartridge family to choose from, and the real question is how many to keep in the building. A single 330-9792 suits a department with predictable volume and a supply cabinet that gets restocked on a schedule. The 5-pack is the better default for most 5535DN owners: the per-cartridge cost falls, and four spares behind the installed cartridge mean the machine never waits on a courier. The MICR extra-high-yield version exists for offices that print their own checks and need magnetic-readable output. Compatible cartridges on this page are backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.
Chip, toner and everyday use
The cartridge's chip is read when it seats, and the printer tracks consumption from the first page, so the low warning arrives with time to act on it. A gentle rock of the cartridge levels settled toner and can restore print density near the end of its life. On a shared departmental unit, store the spare in the same room as the printer rather than a distant stockroom, keep it sealed and flat, and remember yield ratings assume about 5% page coverage — dense departmental reports will run through toner noticeably faster.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which cartridge fits the Dell 5535DN?
The extra-high-yield 330-9792 black cartridge, listed above as a single and a 5-pack, plus a MICR version for check printing.
What is the MICR version for?
MICR toner contains magnetic material that bank scanners read on checks. The MICR 330-9792 (Y4Y5R) fits the same slot as the standard cartridge and is only needed if your office prints checks in-house.
Does the 5535DN share toner with the 5530 and 5535?
Yes — those models appear in the family list below because they belong to the same black toner family as the 5535DN.
Single cartridge or 5-pack for a busy department?
The 5-pack, in most cases. It lowers the cost per cartridge and guarantees a spare is on site when a 52-page-per-minute machine burns through the installed one.
