Frequently Asked Questions

The first cartridge in my SCX-3406HW did not last long — will this one do better?

Very likely, yes. Machines ship with a starter cartridge filled well below the standard unit, so a short first life is normal and says nothing about the printer. This MLT-D101S is a full standard fill rated at 1,500 pages — expect it to outlast the starter by a wide margin, with the exact figure set by how much of each page your documents cover.

How many pages should we plan on from one cartridge in the SCX-3406HW?

Plan on the 1,500-page rating, which assumes 5% coverage — text letters, forms and invoices. If the machine's day is mostly dense reports or graphics, plan on less; a text-only desk can meet the rating or pass it slightly. Either way it is the honest planning number for this cartridge.

What does a page cost with this cartridge in the SCX-3406HW?

Roughly 2.18 cents — $32.73 across 1,500 rated pages. Copies cost the same as prints, since both put toner on paper; scans cost nothing. If the machine works through cartridges quickly, the five-pack of the same MLT-D101S brings the page cost down towards 1.2 cents.

How do we reorder with confidence that this — and not a similar-looking part — is what the SCX-3406HW takes?

Match the number on the old cartridge's label: MLT-D101S. That code is the identity of this cartridge, and it is the same unit across the whole family of machines listed below. If the label matches, the cartridge matches.

Which other Samsung models use this cartridge?

The SCX-3405W, SCX-3405FW, SCX-3405, SCX-3400FW, SCX-3400F and ML-2165W — one shared cartridge across the platform, which keeps a spare shelf simple for a mixed office.

What cover backs this cartridge?

Cover for a year in both directions: a year's warranty, and a year in which returns cost nothing. A cartridge that leaks, streaks or fails early comes back free — the steps are laid out on the shipping and returns page — and our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA handle dispatch, with support Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
