Frequently Asked Questions

What does the part number 106R02605 actually identify?

It identifies one specific thing: the black toner cartridge made for the Xerox Phaser 7100 family. This listing is the part-number route to that cartridge — a single 106R02605 in black, rated at up to 5,000 pages. If the cartridge you just pulled out of the printer has this number on its label, this is the box that replaces it, with no other colours mixed in.

What does a page cost with this cartridge?

At $66.69 for up to 5,000 pages, the black toner on each page costs about 1.33 cents. That is the number to hold onto when you compare supplies: paper and power aside, a page of text out of your 7100 carries roughly a cent and a third of toner cost, and it stays there for the whole life of the cartridge.

How long does 5,000 pages last in practice?

It depends entirely on how hard the printer works. A desk printing around 300 pages a month can stretch one cartridge past a year; a busier office at 1,000 pages a month will see roughly five months; a heavy workgroup at 2,000 pages a month should expect about ten weeks. However you count it, this is a cartridge you change a few times a year, not a monthly errand.

Why does the black cartridge on a colour printer empty first?

Because most office printing is still black: letters, invoices, contracts, reports. Colour pages draw on the colour cartridges, but every text page draws on black alone, so the 106R02605 does the bulk of the work in a Phaser 7100 even though the machine prints in colour. Running low on black is the normal first stoppage on this platform, which is why the black cartridge has its own listing and its own part number.

Can I keep a spare on the shelf?

Yes, and on a shared printer it is worth doing. Keep the cartridge sealed in its bag, lying flat at ordinary room temperature and out of direct heat and sunlight. A sealed spare turns a mid-job toner stoppage into a two-minute swap, and this cartridge stores without any special handling beyond that.

What warranty and returns cover comes with it?

Every cartridge we sell carries a 1-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, our support team answers Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and the rest of the range for this printer family is gathered on our Xerox toner page.

It suits the buyer who orders by the number on the spent cartridge — one box, one swap, about 1.33 cents of toner per page, and the printer goes back to work.
