Frequently Asked Questions

What cartridge does the busiest version of this printer take?

The same one as every other version. The LaserJet 1320TN runs on the Q5949A, HP's 49A, and this listing is a single black cartridge at $34.40, rated at 2,500 pages. Networking and the extra tray raise the machine's workload; they do not change its consumable.

Why does this variant seem to eat cartridges faster than its siblings?

Volume, not appetite. Each printed page draws the same toner here as on a base model, but a networked machine with a deep paper supply prints far more pages — it is shared by more people and it rarely waits for paper. The cartridge's calendar life shrinks while its page life stays exactly at rating.

What reorder rhythm suits a departmental machine?

A weekly check of the supplies status, read through the printer's network pages, and a reorder the moment the estimate drops into its last stretch. Busy shared machines punish the wait-until-it-fades approach, because the fade always seems to land in the middle of someone else's deadline.

Should a machine like this keep more than one spare?

It is the one model in the family where two sealed spares make sense: one for the swap, one as the buffer while the next order travels. The cartridges store flat and sealed without complaint, and the cost of an empty printer shared by a department dwarfs the cost of the extra box.

Does the extra tray affect toner use in any way?

No. The tray feeds paper; the cartridge prints on whatever arrives. Two stocks loaded at once simply means more uninterrupted printing between refills of either kind — paper and toner run on independent schedules.

What cover does the purchase include?

It is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, set out on our shipping & returns page. Orders ship from warehouses in IL, PA, GA, and CA, and support runs Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST.

About This Q5949A Cartridge for the LaserJet 1320TN

The TN is the full departmental specification of this line — networked, duplexing, and carrying the extra tray — and it is typically the hardest-worked printer in the building. Its consumable remains the family's standard: a 49A at $34.40 in our HP range, identical to the cartridge in the quietest desktop model.

The lesson of the configuration is that busy machines are managed, not reacted to. Watch the level weekly, keep the buffer stocked, and the hardest-working printer in the office becomes the one that never stops for toner.
