Frequently Asked Questions

What does "high yield" actually mean on the 106R01597?

It describes how much toner is inside: this black cartridge is rated at up to 3,000 pages, measured the industry way at roughly 5% page coverage — an ordinary page of text. The rating is the honest way to size a cartridge, because it tells you how much printing stands between you and the next empty-black warning, rather than just how substantial the box feels in your hand.

How do I know this is the cartridge my printer is asking for?

Read the code on the cartridge you pull out. Xerox marked the black supply for this platform 106R01597, and the number — not the box artwork, not the listing title — is the identity. If the old label carries that code, this is its match. If it carries a different code, you are looking at one of the color slots or at another machine's supply entirely.

What does a page of black cost with this cartridge?

At $31.95 against a 3,000-page rating, the toner works out to about 1.06 cents per page. That is the figure worth holding onto when you compare listings: a lower sticker on a shorter-lived cartridge can quietly cost more per page than this high-yield black does. Real life moves the total both ways — dense pages draw more toner than the 5% yardstick assumes, while light correspondence draws less.

My printer is a color model — is this listing the black only?

Yes, black and nothing else. The cyan, magenta and yellow slots in these machines take their own separate cartridges with their own part numbers, and nothing in this box fills them. Black earns its own listing because it does the heavy lifting in most offices — letters, invoices, statements, forms — and normally runs down well ahead of the colors.

Which printers does it fit?

The Phaser 6500 line — the base machine, the Phaser 6500N and the duplex Phaser 6500DN — plus the WorkCentre 6505 family of multifunction machines. One black cartridge serves the whole platform, so the code stays the same whichever badge is on the front of the machine.

What cover comes with it?

A one-year warranty and free returns for a full year, as set out on our shipping and returns page. Orders ship from warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, real people answer support Monday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST, and the rest of the range sits on our Xerox toner page.
