Frequently Asked Questions
How far does one cartridge actually carry a departmental machine like the SCX-6345?
Twenty thousand rated pages is the honest answer — that is the yield Samsung rates the SCX-D6345A design for, measured at the usual five percent coverage of a text page. In a department that prints statements, pick lists and reports all day, coverage runs heavier and the real count lands lower, but even halved it is a long runway: roughly forty reams of paper between swaps. Machines in this class are bought to run for months between supply orders, and this cartridge is sized to match that rhythm.
What does each page cost from this cartridge?
Divide the $86.35 price by the 20,000-page rating and the running cost works out at about 0.43 cents per page. Dense pages lay down more toner and cost proportionally more; light internal memos cost less. For a workgroup comparing supply options on a departmental multifunction, that per-page figure — under half a cent — is the number that matters, and it is why high-yield cartridges exist for this platform at all.
Which machines is this cartridge made for?
The listing is built around the SCX-D6345A supply code, and the machine it is catalogued for is the SCX-6345FN; this particular listing carries the base SCX-6345 name. The dependable check is the code itself: if the cartridge you remove, or the supply label inside the front cover, reads SCX-D6345A, this is the replacement it is asking for, whichever badge of the 6345 family sits on your unit.
Do copies spend this cartridge the same way prints do?
They do. A copy is a scan followed immediately by a print, and it is the print half that lays toner on paper — every copied page draws on the SCX-D6345A exactly as a page sent from a computer would. Scanning a document to a file or an email, by contrast, produces no page at all and spends nothing. On a busy multifunction the copy counter quietly eats a real share of the yield, so budget the 20,000 pages against prints and copies combined.
How will the department know the cartridge is running out?
Expect a low-toner warning on the control panel first, then output that fades across the page or turns patchy on long runs. Rocking the cartridge gently side to side can redistribute what toner remains and buy a little breathing room — enough to finish an urgent batch, not enough to cancel the replacement order. Once a fresh cartridge restores even, dark output, the old one had simply reached the end of its fill.
What protection comes with this purchase?
Each SCX-D6345A cartridge we ship is backed by a one-year warranty against defects, and returns are free for a full year from purchase if the cartridge proves faulty or turns out not to be the supply your machine needs. The details live on our shipping and returns page, and a person — not a phone tree — answers support questions on weekdays between 9 AM and 5 PM CST.
