Frequently Asked Questions

I am reordering for a WorkCentre 3550M — which cartridge am I looking for?

The 106R01530. That is the part number on the cartridge your 3550M uses, and this listing is the compatible version of it, titled under the printer's name for buyers who search by model. Match the number on the label of the cartridge you remove; if it reads 106R01530, this is its replacement, rated at 11,000 pages in black.

How long should one cartridge last in our 3550M?

The rating is 11,000 pages at standard 5% coverage. In time terms: around 11 months at 1,000 pages a month, about five and a half months at 2,000 a month, and under three months if the machine is printing 4,000 pages a month. Your mileage will move with coverage — long text documents are kind to toner, dense forms and graphics are not.

Does the same cartridge fit the other 3550 models?

Yes, the platform shares a single cartridge. The 106R01530 fits the WorkCentre 3550, WorkCentre 3550X, WorkCentre 3550XM and WorkCentre 3550YX as well as your 3550M, so one shelf spare can cover several machines.

What does the printing cost work out to?

At $69.02 for a cartridge rated at 11,000 pages, about 0.63 cents per page. That is the figure to hold against any other cartridge you are considering for this machine, since the rated-yield basis is the same everywhere. Buying the cartridge in multi-packs is how that figure comes down — the five-pack takes it to roughly 0.49 cents.

The last cartridge faded gradually, then stopped. Is that normal?

Yes, that is the usual pattern for a toner cartridge reaching the end of its fill: output gets progressively lighter rather than stopping mid-page. Rocking the cartridge gently from side to side can redistribute what toner remains and buy a little more life, which is handy if a replacement has not arrived yet. When the rocking stops helping, the cartridge is empty.

What if this compatible cartridge gives us trouble?

It is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so a problem cartridge can go back without cost to you. The full terms sit on our shipping and returns page, and our team answers questions Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
