Frequently Asked Questions

Is 1,500 pages a realistic yield for an ML-2165W in daily use?

Yes, with the usual caveat about what "a page" contains. The MLT-D101S rating of 1,500 pages is measured at 5% coverage — a typical text document. A printer producing standard office pages all day will land close to that number; one producing dense, graphic-heavy pages will land below it. For planning purposes the rating is the right anchor: order against 1,500 and the ML-2165W will not catch you out.

What signs tell me the cartridge in the ML-2165W is reaching its end?

Three, in rough order: prints that look grey instead of black, a pale band creeping in from one side of the page, and the printer's low-toner warning. Any one of them means the cartridge is in its last stretch. A gentle side-to-side rock of the cartridge buys a little more decent output, but treat it as borrowed time and have the replacement ready.

What does the ML-2165W cost to run on this cartridge?

At $32.73 for 1,500 rated pages, roughly 2.18 cents of toner per page. That is the full-size cartridge figure; the starter cartridge bundled with printers of this class holds far less, which is why its per-page cost looks so much worse by comparison. Once this cartridge is in, the ML-2165W runs at the economy the model was designed for.

The printer asks for an MLT-D101S — is this that cartridge?

It is. MLT-D101S is the part number for this cartridge, and it is the number to trust when ordering: the same unit is sold under several model-specific listings because it fits a family of machines. If your ML-2165W's old cartridge is stamped MLT-D101S, the cartridge on this page is its direct replacement, whatever the listing's title leads with.

Which other models share this cartridge?

The ML-2165W heads the list, and the same MLT-D101S also serves the SCX-3400F, SCX-3400FW, SCX-3405, SCX-3405FW and SCX-3405W multifunctions. Households and offices running an ML-series printer beside an SCX machine can standardise on this one cartridge for both — one spare covers either printer.

What warranty and returns cover does it carry?

Twelve months of warranty, and returns that cost you nothing across the same twelve months. If this cartridge leaks, streaks or fails early, it comes back at our expense — the details are on the shipping and returns page. Orders leave from our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses, and support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
