Frequently Asked Questions
Thirty thousand pages sounds abstract — how much paper is that, really?
Count it in reams: 30,000 pages is sixty reams of paper, a small pallet's worth of output from one cartridge. A department that runs 2,500 pages a month will take about a year to spend it; at 5,000 pages a month it lasts roughly six months; a hard-working machine at 10,000 pages a month finishes it in a quarter. The rating is measured at the standard 5% page coverage, and on a production-class machine the mix usually runs denser than that, so treat 30,000 as the planning ceiling and expect heavy coverage work to land somewhat under it.
What does a page cost with a cartridge this size?
The arithmetic favours volume: $105.59 spread over 30,000 rated pages is about 0.35 cents per page — roughly a third of a cent of toner on each sheet. That is the reward for buying yield in one large unit instead of several small ones. Dense solids and full-page graphics pull the real figure up a little; plain correspondence pulls it down; across a normal office and light-production mix, 0.35 cents is the honest number to budget against.
When the panel starts warning about black toner, how much printing is left?
More than the warning makes it sound. On machines of this class the low-toner message is calculated from coverage history, and it is deliberately early — it exists so a cartridge with a long order-and-deliver cycle never catches a print room by surprise. The physical end looks different: blacks that turn charcoal, solid areas that go patchy, density that drifts from one side of the sheet to the other. Rocking the cartridge gently can coax out a few hundred extra pages, but on a machine other people depend on, the warning itself is the reorder signal.
How do I make sure this is the black cartridge my machine actually takes?
Trust the code on the empty unit, not the badge on the printer. This cartridge is the 006R01219 — the black for a whole family of large Xerox color machines. The same unit serves the DocuColor 240, DocuColor 242, DocuColor 250, DocuColor 252, DocuColor 260, WorkCentre 7655, WorkCentre 7665, WorkCentre 7675, WorkCentre 7755 and WorkCentre 7765. If the label on the cartridge you pulled out reads 006R01219, this listing is its replacement, whichever of those names is printed on the machine's front panel.
The first prints after the swap look gray instead of black. What do I check?
Start with the packaging, not the toner. On a cartridge this size the protective seal and packing pieces are easy to miss, and a partially removed seal starves the machine exactly the way an empty cartridge would. Pull the unit, confirm every strip and cover came off, reseat it firmly until it locks, and run a solid black test page. Even, deep coverage edge to edge is the pass mark; a pale band that stays in one place after reseating is worth a call to us rather than another box opened.
What cover do I have if this cartridge lets me down mid-run?
A full year of it. This cartridge carries a one-year warranty, and returns stay free for that whole year — a unit that leaks, arrives damaged, or stops printing as it should comes back at no cost to you. Stock ships from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and the complete terms are set out on our shipping and returns page. For a person instead of a page, support answers Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
About This 006R01219 Black Toner Cartridge
This Clever Supplies compatible black cartridge replaces the Xerox 006R01219, the high-volume black unit for the WorkCentre 7655 family and its DocuColor relatives. One cartridge, rated at 30,000 pages and priced at $105.59, works out near 0.35 cents a page — the economics of a machine that measures toner in months, not weeks. It is a single cartridge in the box, meant to be the only black most of these printers will need for a season of work: check the code on your empty unit, and if it reads 006R01219, this is the same color, the same yield class and the same fit.
