Frequently Asked Questions

Half the office prints to our SCX-3405FW — how long should one cartridge serve?

Shared machines eat toner at the group's pace, not any one user's. The MLT-D101S here is rated at 1,500 pages, so if the SCX-3405FW's combined output runs to 300 pages a week, plan on roughly five weeks per cartridge; at half that pace, nearer ten. The rating assumes standard 5% coverage, so handout-heavy work trims the real figure a little.

Why do two users of the same machine report very different cartridge lives?

Coverage. One person's text letters might cover 5% of the page; another's dense reports and graphics can cover three times that, and toner use follows coverage, not page count alone. Both are drawing on the same 1,500-page-at-5% rating — the cartridge is consistent, the documents are not.

What does this cartridge cost per printed page?

At $32.73 for 1,500 rated pages, about 2.18 cents a page. On a shared machine that figure is worth knowing, because it turns "the toner ran out again" into a budget line — and the five-pack of the same cartridge brings it down towards 1.2 cents when the group's volume supports buying ahead.

What signs tell us the cartridge is reaching its end?

Even fading across the page is the main one. Rocking the cartridge gently side to side redistributes the remaining toner and usually restores a run of clean pages; when pages fade again straight away, the fill is spent. A defect that repeats in exactly the same spot on every sheet is a different problem and worth a look before blaming toner.

Is this the same cartridge our other Samsung machines take?

If they are on the MLT-D101S list, yes: the the ML-2165W printer and the SCX-3400F, SCX-3400FW, SCX-3405, SCX-3405FW and SCX-3405W multifunctions. One cartridge type across several machines keeps the supplies shelf simple.

What cover backs this purchase?

A warranty lasting one year and free returns for one year. If the cartridge leaks, streaks or fails early, the unit is returnable at no charge; the process is described on the shipping and returns page, and our support team is available Monday to Friday between 9 AM and 5 PM CST.
