Frequently Asked Questions

My blues are drifting toward purple and the greens look yellowish — is one cartridge behind both?

Yes, and it is this one. Cyan is the ingredient your printer adds wherever a color needs to lean cool: blue is cyan plus magenta, green is cyan plus yellow, and a sky photo is mostly cyan with the volume turned up. As the 106R01331 runs dry, that cool half quietly leaves the recipe — blues slide toward the magenta side and come out purplish, greens lose their blue and turn yellow-green, and photos take on a warm, washed-out cast while black text stays perfect. When two seemingly unrelated colors go wrong in the same warm direction at the same time, you are not chasing two faults; you are looking at one empty cyan unit.

A thousand pages sounds small — how long does this cartridge actually last in a home office?

The 1,000-page figure is measured at roughly 5% coverage — a page of text with a logo, a heading and a chart or two, which is what most home-office color printing really looks like. At that rate, a household printing a few dozen color pages a week gets months out of one unit, and the running cost lands at about 2.5 cents per page. The rating shrinks fast only if your pages are mostly photograph: a full-bleed picture can spend ten times the toner of a document page, so photo-heavy users should read the number as a floor for documents, not a promise for albums.

How do I reorder this exact unit next time without guessing?

Read the label on the cartridge you pull out, not the color name on the box. "Cyan toner" fits dozens of Xerox machines, but the code printed on the spent unit — 106R01331 — names exactly one supply, the standard-yield cyan for this printer family. Match that string of digits to the one in this listing and the order is settled; there is no second check to make and no near-identical sibling to confuse it with, because the code is the identity.

Do I have to change the other colors at the same time?

No — each color lives and dies on its own schedule. The four cartridges in a Phaser 6125 are independent units, and swapping only the exhausted cyan leaves the others to finish their own toner. Replacing a set of four because one ran out throws away whatever is left in the other three. The one habit worth keeping: when you do pull the cyan out, glance at the neighboring levels, because colors consumed by the same documents often finish within a few weeks of each other.

The printer says cyan is low, but the pages still look fine — can I keep going?

Yes, and you should — the warning is an early notice, not an empty signal. Order the replacement when the message appears, then keep printing on the old unit until the output itself tells you it is done: light bands through blue areas, or skies that fade unevenly across the page. Rocking the cartridge gently side to side once can redistribute the last of the toner and buy a few more clean pages, but treat any improvement as borrowed time with the spare already on its way, not as a repair.

What cover does this cartridge come with?

It is backed by a 1-year warranty, and returns are free for a full year if the cartridge turns out not to suit your machine — the full terms are on our shipping and returns page. Orders ship from our warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California, and support is staffed by real people Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

About This Xerox 106R01331 Cyan Toner Cartridge

This is the code-first listing for the family's cyan supply: one compatible cartridge, part number 106R01331, priced at $25.25 and rated at up to 1,000 pages. It feeds the Phaser 6125 and its networked twin, the Phaser 6125N — two badges on the same compact color platform, both drawing cyan from this same unit. If your prints have warmed up and your blues no longer believe in themselves, this is the cartridge standing behind it. The rest of the family's colors and supplies are gathered on our Xerox page.
