Frequently Asked Questions

Nothing looks empty — so why did every green in our printouts turn blue?

Because yellow is the one color you cannot watch dying. On white paper a fading yellow is nearly invisible, so the cartridge gives no visual warning of its own. Green is where the loss shows up: green is mixed on the page from cyan plus yellow, and when the yellow half of that mixture runs dry, the cyan prints alone and every green — charts, logos, landscape photos — slides toward blue. Greens going blue while the rest of the page looks normal is the textbook signature of an exhausted 106R01079.

How do you check the yellow when the pages still look acceptable?

Print one solid yellow test patch from the printer's test pages and look at the patch itself, not at a document. A healthy cartridge lays down a rich, even mustard; a spent one prints pale, washed and streaky, because there is barely any pigment left to see even in a full block of it. Documents hide the problem for weeks by using yellow in thin mixtures — the test patch cannot hide it.

What does the 18,000-page rating mean for the lightest color in the machine?

It means this high-yield cartridge is rated for up to 18,000 pages at standard coverage, and yellow's real consumption depends entirely on what your pages ask of it. Highlight bands, pale background tints and the yellow share of every photograph sip at it; full-page yellow backgrounds drink it. At $92.31 spread across the rating, the yellow in a page works out to roughly 0.51 cents — but treat the rating as the yardstick your own usage is measured against, not a countdown the printer promises to honor.

Which number proves this is the cartridge your machine takes?

The number on the label of the cartridge you pull out: 106R01079. Printer badges describe a family of machines; the supply label names the exact cartridge. If the spent unit reads 106R01079, this listing is its direct successor — the high-yield yellow for this platform, with no suffix arithmetic to work through.

What arrives in the box?

One yellow cartridge. The machines it serves — the Phaser 7400, Phaser 7400DFX, Phaser 7400DN, Phaser 7400DT and Phaser 7400DX, along with the 7400N and 7400DXF — feed each color separately, so the cyan, magenta and black keep working on their own supplies and only the yellow gets swapped when its level gives out.

What protection comes with the purchase?

A 1-year warranty and free returns for a full year, under the terms on our shipping & returns page. Orders leave warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, support runs Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and the rest of the range for this platform lives on the Xerox supplies page.

About This 106R01079 High Yield Yellow Cartridge

This is the code-first listing for the platform's yellow: a single compatible high-yield cartridge, $92.31, rated up to 18,000 pages, bought by people who pulled a spent unit labeled 106R01079 and want its exact replacement. Its story is the invisible failure — the color that fades without ever looking faded, betrayed only by the greens it abandons — and this cartridge exists to end the guessing: check the test patch, match the number, swap the one color that is actually gone.
