Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this cartridge sold under the number 106R01530?

Because that number is the cartridge's own identity. One cartridge design serves several WorkCentre models, so Xerox gives the cartridge a part number of its own: 106R01530. Check the label on the cartridge you are replacing — if it carries that number, this compatible version is the cartridge you need, whichever supported model it came out of. Buying by the number removes the guesswork that comes with model-by-model shopping.

How many pages does the 106R01530 print?

It is rated at 11,000 pages, measured at the standard 5% page coverage — about a page of ordinary office text. Heavy coverage shortens the run and light text stretches it, but 11,000 is the honest yardstick because every cartridge in this class is rated the same way. At $69.02, that rating works out to roughly 0.63 cents per page.

Which printers use this cartridge?

The 106R01530 serves the WorkCentre 3550 family: the WorkCentre 3550, WorkCentre 3550X, WorkCentre 3550XM and WorkCentre 3550YX. An office running two of these models side by side still stocks a single cartridge type.

How long will one cartridge last in a small office?

Divide 11,000 by your monthly volume. At 500 pages a month, one cartridge covers close to two years of printing. At 1,500 pages a month it lasts about seven months, and at 3,000 pages a month expect roughly three and a half months. These are estimates based on the rated yield; dense reports and graphics will use the toner faster.

My prints have gone pale on one side. Has the cartridge run out?

Probably not — one-sided fading usually means the remaining toner has settled unevenly inside. Remove the cartridge, hold it level with both hands, and rock it gently side to side several times to redistribute the toner, then reinstall it. If print comes back even, there was life left in it. Pale print across the whole page that does not respond to rocking is the genuine end-of-life sign.

What protection comes with this compatible cartridge?

Every cartridge is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so the risk of trying a compatible 106R01530 sits with us, not you. The details are on our shipping and returns page, and our support team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST if you would rather ask a person first.
