Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know the 106R01480 is the black my printer takes?

Pull the spent cartridge and read its label: if it carries the number 106R01480, this is the matching black. This listing is sold by that part number rather than by a model headline, which suits anyone reordering from the old cartridge instead of from the printer's badge. The machine it serves is the Phaser 6140, and the number on the label is the surest check of all.

What does one cartridge hold?

This listing is rated at up to 2,200 pages from the single black cartridge, measured at the standard 5% page coverage. At $31.98 that is roughly 1.45 cents per rated page. Real life moves the number both ways: dense reports and graphics drink faster, while plain correspondence regularly carries a cartridge past its rating.

Why does the black run out first on a colour printer?

Because text is black. Every letter, invoice and report draws on this cartridge, while the colours sit mostly idle waiting for charts and photos. On a Phaser 6140 doing ordinary office work, black changes hands far more often than any colour, which is why a spare on the shelf earns its space.

The warning says replace black, but prints still look dark. Do I swap now?

The warning is the printer's estimate, not a verdict. If pages are still dense and even, finish the job in front of you and swap when fading or streaking actually appears — that fading, grey wash on solid text, is the true signature of a black cartridge at its end. Just don't start a long, important run on a cartridge that is already showing it.

How should I store the spare?

Sealed in its bag, flat, in a cool dry drawer away from sunlight and radiators. Toner powder keeps well for a long time under those conditions, so buying ahead is safe. When the day comes, a few gentle rocks side to side before fitting help settle the powder evenly after months of sitting still.

What protection comes with it?

A 1-year warranty and free returns for a full year stand behind every cartridge; the detail lives on our shipping and returns page. Orders leave from warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California, and support is staffed Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
