Frequently Asked Questions

How can I be sure this fits my LaserJet 1018?

Read the label on the cartridge inside it now: the code you want is Q2612A, the 12A cartridge. This listing is that cartridge, so a label-to-box match settles the question before you spend anything.

How many pages does it cover?

The rating is 2,000 pages per cartridge at normal document coverage. Invoices, packing slips and letters — the 1018's daily bread — sit comfortably inside that assumption.

What arrives in the delivery?

One sealed Q2612A in protective packaging, at $28.15. Fit it after the standard preparation — a gentle rock, the cover off, the sealing strip pulled — and keep the old unit until your first pages confirm the swap.

Our 1018 prints all day, every day. How should we manage spares?

Work on a simple rotation: one cartridge in the printer, one sealed on the shelf, and reorder when the shelf one goes in. At this price the shelf spare is a small cost against the alternative — a stopped printer mid-run.

The pages are coming out light even though the cartridge is new. What now?

First re-check the sealing strip: a strip that did not pull fully clear starves the print. Then rock the cartridge gently to level the toner and print several pages; density usually settles once the cartridge has run in.

Is there a warranty on it?

Yes — every cartridge in this line is covered for a year, and returns are free within that year. The support hours and the delivery arrangements are set out at the foot of this section.
