Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect from this cartridge in an ML-1661 used at home?

A long, quiet service life. The MLT-D104S is rated at 1,500 pages, and home printing — a few documents a week, the occasional letter or form — rarely troubles that quickly. Most home users measure one cartridge in seasons rather than weeks. It is the standard fill for the ML-1661, dropping in exactly like the cartridge the printer already knows.

How is the 1,500-page figure actually measured?

By the industry's standard test: pages printed with about 5% of the sheet covered by toner, which resembles a typical page of business text. It is a yardstick for comparing cartridges, not a counter in the printer. Pages heavier than the test standard finish the cartridge sooner; lighter pages — short notes, drafts — let it run beyond the rating.

Can I squeeze more pages from a cartridge that has started to fade?

Usually, yes. As the fill runs low the toner settles, and output greys unevenly. Removing the cartridge and rocking it gently side to side redistributes what remains and often restores solid black for a useful stretch of extra pages. Toner Save or draft mode in the print settings stretches the tail further. When fading survives a shake, the cartridge is genuinely done.

What is the running cost per page on the ML-1661 with this cartridge?

At $39.58 over a rated 1,500 pages, toner costs about 2.64 cents per page. That is the small-cartridge pattern: cheap to buy, a little dearer per page than a big office unit. Home volumes make the trade painless — the difference across a whole cartridge is a few dollars, spread over months of printing.

Which printers share this cartridge with the ML-1661?

Plenty of Samsung's compact line: the ML-1660, ML-1665, ML-1666, ML-1667, ML-1670, ML-1675 and ML-1676, the ML-1860 models and the SCX-3200 series all run on the MLT-D104S. If a second of those machines sits in the house, one spare serves both. You can browse the rest of the Samsung range on the Samsung page.
