Frequently Asked Questions

What signs tell me the cartridge in the SCX-3406W is reaching its end?

Fading that spreads evenly across the page is the reliable one. Sliding the MLT-D101S out and rocking it gently from side to side redistributes the toner left inside and usually buys a little more decent printing; when the pages fade again straight away, the fill is spent. Marks that repeat in one fixed position on every sheet point elsewhere and are worth checking before you order.

How long will one cartridge keep an SCX-3406W going at a home-office pace?

The cartridge is rated at 1,500 pages. A home office printing thirty pages a week is looking at the better part of a year from one unit; at a hundred a week, around fifteen weeks. The rating is set at 5% coverage, so photo-heavy or graphics-heavy pages shorten the span.

What does this cartridge cost per printed page in the SCX-3406W?

About 2.18 cents at the rated yield — $32.73 for 1,500 pages. Copies spend toner at the same rate as prints; scans spend none. For a steadier, heavier pace, the five-cartridge pack of the same MLT-D101S works out near 1.2 cents a page.

Is one cartridge a sensible buy for a lightly used SCX-3406W, or should I stock up?

One at a time suits a light user well: the saving in the five-pack is real ($73.96 across five cartridges) but it arrives one cartridge at a time, and a desk using a cartridge a year waits five years to collect it. Stocking up pays when cartridges turn over every few months.

Does this cartridge fit our other Samsung machine?

If it is one of the MLT-D101S family, yes: the ML-2165W and the SCX machines — 3400F, 3400FW, 3405, 3405FW and 3405W all take this same cartridge.

What cover comes with this compatible cartridge?

A warranty of a year, with returns free across the same year: if a properly seated cartridge leaks, streaks or gives up early, it is returnable at no charge. How to send it back is set out on the shipping and returns page; support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
