Frequently Asked Questions

What does each cartridge in this five-pack cost an SCX-3401 owner?

$17.94 — the pack is $89.69 for five MLT-D101S cartridges that would cost $32.73 apiece bought singly. That brings the cost of every page the SCX-3401 prints or copies down from about 2.18 cents to roughly 1.2 cents, and across the whole box the saving against five separate orders is $73.96.

How much printing, in total, does the SCX-3401 get from all five cartridges?

7,500 pages — fifteen reams of paper. On a multifunction that total is shared between printing and copying, since both draw on the same cartridges. At a combined 500 pages a month the pack carries the machine for about fifteen months; at 250 a month, around two and a half years of work from a single order.

Why is the five-pack the natural choice for an SCX-3401 that works every day?

Because a daily-worked multifunction cannot pause for a delivery — it is the office's printer and copier in one box. Stock on the shelf means a faded cartridge is swapped in minutes and work continues. Add the lower unit price and the pack wins twice: continuity for the office, and a near-halving of the per-cartridge cost for the budget.

How should the spare cartridges be stored?

In their sealed bags, flat, in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight. Take them from the box in order, oldest first, and open the next only when the fitted cartridge has faded for good. Sealed toner keeps well over the life of a pack like this, so the routine is simple housekeeping rather than a race against any expiry.

Can the pack also feed the other Samsung printers here?

Yes, any machine in the MLT-D101S family: the ML-2165W, SCX-3400F, SCX-3400FW, SCX-3405, SCX-3405FW and SCX-3405W alongside the SCX-3401. One box can therefore stand as the toner shelf for a whole small office running several models from this generation, at the same effective price per cartridge for each.

What happens if a cartridge partway through the pack proves faulty?

That cartridge alone is returned under its one-year warranty, free of charge within its year of free returns — the other four stay in the SCX-3401 and keep working while the faulty unit is returned. How to send it back is laid out on the shipping and returns page; if you would rather talk it through, support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
