Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1,500 pages look like in the working life of an SCX-3405?

Roughly a semester of ordinary paperwork. The MLT-D101S cartridge in this listing is rated at 1,500 pages, so an SCX-3405 turning out fifty pages a week works through one in about seven months, while a desk doing two hundred a week sees closer to two months. The rating is measured at standard 5% page coverage — letters and forms sit near that, dense handouts and graphics pull it down.

Our SCX-3405 copies as well as prints — how should we count those pages?

Count them the same. A copy leaves the machine on paper, so it spends toner exactly like a print; only scanning to a computer is toner-free. If half your SCX-3405's output is copies, half the cartridge's 1,500-page budget is being spent at the glass rather than from the computer.

What does one cartridge cost us per week on the SCX-3405?

At $32.73 for 1,500 rated pages the toner works out near 2.18 cents a page. A desk printing a hundred pages a week spends about $2.18 a week on toner with this cartridge — a useful budgeting figure, and one the five-cartridge pack of the same MLT-D101S lowers towards 1.2 cents a page if the volume justifies stocking ahead.

How will we know this cartridge is actually empty?

The pages tell you before any counter does. Even, gradual fading is the classic end-of-fill signal; sliding the cartridge out and rocking it gently side to side redistributes the toner that remains and usually buys a short run of stronger pages. When the fade returns immediately, the fill is genuinely spent and a fresh cartridge is the answer.

Will this same cartridge serve the other Samsung machines here?

Yes, if they belong to the MLT-D101S family: the SCX-3405W, SCX-3405FW, SCX-3405, SCX-3400FW, SCX-3400F and ML-2165W all take this one cartridge. A single shelf spare can therefore cover several machines, which is the quiet advantage of this platform for a small office.

What protection comes with this cartridge?

Twelve months of it, on both fronts: the warranty runs for a year, and returns are free for a year too, so a cartridge that leaks, streaks or gives up early is sent back without costing you anything. How the returns side works is described on the shipping and returns page.
