Frequently Asked Questions

What am I ordering for the LaserJet 3015?

The Q2612A black cartridge — the cartridge the 12A family name refers to — as a single unit at $28.15. Match it against the code on the cartridge you are taking out; Q2612A there means this is its replacement.

How much printing does it hold?

The rating is 2,000 pages. For a 3015 handling a department's letters, reports and statement runs, that translates into a dependable stretch of work between changes — long documents count the same as short ones, page by page.

What preparation does the cartridge need before fitting?

Rock it slowly from side to side several times to distribute the toner, take the protective cover off, and pull the sealing strip straight out. Then it seats in the bay in one movement and the printer is ready.

Pages have begun to print with uneven density. Too soon for a change?

Not necessarily — uneven density late in a cartridge's life usually means the remaining toner is lying unevenly. The rocking remedy restores even output for a while, and the fade that follows it is your cue to fit this fresh cartridge.

Is it sensible to order ahead for a departmental printer?

Yes. A 3015 serving several people should never wait on a delivery, so the practical pattern is a sealed spare in the supply cupboard and a reorder the day the spare goes in.

What happens to the empty unit?

It goes back into the new cartridge's box and out through an office recycling route. Keeping the empty sealed in packaging until collection keeps desks and bins free of stray toner.
