Frequently Asked Questions

What is in the box?

Six Q2612A black cartridges, each one sealed in its own wrapping so the spares stay fresh until the day they are needed. The six-pack is priced at $76.48, and every cartridge in it carries the same 2,000-page rating.

How long is a six-pack likely to last a busy shared printer?

That depends on the machine's monthly volume. A workgroup printer turning out around a thousand pages a month works through one cartridge roughly every two months, so a carton of six covers about a year of printing without anyone having to think about toner.

How should the spare cartridges be stored?

Keep them flat, still sealed, in a cool dry cupboard away from direct sunlight and radiators. Write the purchase date on the end of each carton and always take the oldest one first — simple rotation means no cartridge sits at the back of the shelf for years.

Does an unopened cartridge deteriorate while it waits its turn?

Sealed toner cartridges keep well. When you finally fit an older spare, rock it gently from side to side a few times before installation so the toner powder inside is evenly distributed, then print as normal.

Our machine is a multifunction model — does copying use this toner too?

Yes. Every copy the machine makes is a printed page, so walk-up copying draws on the same Q2612A cartridge as the print jobs sent from desks. Scanning, by contrast, uses no toner at all.

What happens if one cartridge out of the six prints badly?

Shelve it and fit the next one from the carton so the printer is straight back in service, then contact our support team about the faulty unit — that is what the cover described below is for.
