Frequently Asked Questions

Our SCX-3400 copies as much as it prints — do copies draw on this cartridge too?

Yes. A copy is a printed page as far as the toner is concerned: the SCX-3400 scans the original, then prints the copy using the same MLT-D101S cartridge as any other job. Scanning on its own — sending the image to a computer — uses no toner at all. So if your machine copies heavily, count those pages against the cartridge's 1,500-page rating exactly as you would prints.

How long will one cartridge keep an SCX-3400 going at a busy front desk?

The cartridge is rated at 1,500 pages, and a busy front desk shares that budget between prints and copies. At roughly 100 pages a week combined, expect around fifteen weeks per cartridge; at double that pace, about two months. The rating assumes standard 5% coverage, so form-heavy or graphic-heavy work will trim it somewhat — planning on the rated figure keeps the shelf stocked ahead of need.

What does a page cost on the SCX-3400 with this cartridge?

About 2.18 cents of toner per page at the rated yield, whether the page was printed or copied — $32.73 buys 1,500 pages either way. If the machine's combined volume is steady and predictable, the five-cartridge pack of this same MLT-D101S brings that figure down towards 1.2 cents a page, which is worth having on a high-throughput desk.

How do I know the SCX-3400's cartridge is genuinely finished?

By the output. Even fading across the page is the classic end-of-fill sign; sliding the cartridge out and rocking it gently side to side redistributes what remains and usually restores a run of decent pages. When the fade comes straight back, the cartridge is spent. Output that fails in one fixed position on every sheet is telling a different story and deserves a check before you blame the toner.

Does the same cartridge fit our other Samsung machine?

If it is one of the MLT-D101S family, yes: the ML-2165W, SCX-3400F, SCX-3400FW, SCX-3405, SCX-3405FW and SCX-3405W all take this same unit, as do the ML-216x printers sold under their own listings. The code stamped on the cartridge is the deciding test — MLT-D101S means this is the cartridge.

What happens if the cartridge faults soon after fitting?

It is covered. This cartridge carries a one-year warranty with free returns across the same year, so a unit that leaks, streaks or fails early comes back to us at no cost. The terms are set out on the shipping and returns page. We ship from warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and support is on hand Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
