Frequently Asked Questions

How fast does a busy ML-1520 get through a 3,000-page cartridge?

At 1,000 pages a month - a genuinely busy personal printer - about three months. At the more typical 300 pages a month, closer to ten months. The ML-1710D3's 3,000-page rating is generous for this class of machine, which is why changes feel infrequent even on a hard-working ML-1520.

What yield should I plan around, honestly?

Plan on the rating, then know what moves it. The 3,000 pages assumes standard text pages at roughly 5% coverage. A household printing mostly letters will meet or beat it; one printing dense worksheets, graphics or full-page images will land below it. Either way it is a full-size cartridge, not a reduced starter fill.

My ML-1520 warns of low toner - how much printing is left?

Treat the warning as a prompt to order, not a countdown to zero. These printers estimate from page counts and coverage, and there is usually a useful amount of printing left after the first warning - fading pages are the truer signal. A gentle rock of the cartridge redistributes the remainder and often restores full darkness for a while.

What does the cartridge cost per page in the ML-1520?

$41.62 buys a 3,000-page rating, so about 1.39 cents a page for toner. That figure covers the whole consumable: the ML-1710D3 is a combined unit, so there is no drum replacement waiting downstream to add to the cost of keeping an ML-1520 alive.

Which other printers take this same cartridge?

The ML-1710D3 is shared across the the ML-1740 and ML-1750 at one end of the range and the ML-1500, ML-1510, ML-1510B and ML-1520 at the other, with the ML-1710, ML-1710B, ML-1710D and ML-1710P between them. If a second Samsung of that generation lives in the house or office, one spare covers both - worth knowing before you order two different cartridges.

What are the warranty and return terms?

The cartridge is protected for a full year: warranty cover for twelve months, and returns free of charge across the same twelve months if the unit turns out faulty. The details live on the shipping and returns page, orders ship from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and support answers Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST. This is one of the Samsung compatible cartridges we keep in stock for the older ML range.
