Phaser 6605
Some office printers demand attention; the Xerox Phaser 6605 is built to run quietly in the background of a busy office instead. This laser printer keeps its supply list as short as a supply list can be: the only cartridge stocked for it on this page is the black 106R02228. No color cartridges, bundles or alternative versions are listed here, so when the Phaser 6605 asks for toner, that one code is the complete answer — matching a replacement to this machine is quick and simple.
A background machine still has to be fed, and the virtue of this one is that feeding it needs no chart on the wall. Whoever looks after office supplies deals with a single printer and a single cartridge number. Keep that number on the regular supply list and the person who spots the low-toner message can pass it straight to whoever places the order, with no follow-up questions about colors or sizes.

Which cartridge should you buy?
There is no selection to make for the Phaser 6605 — one black cartridge is listed for it, and it is the right one. The only real decision is timing. Order when the low-toner warning appears and you will likely wait with a fading printer; keep one boxed spare on the shelf and a swap takes minutes whenever it falls due. A shelf spare has a second benefit: nobody has to identify the cartridge in a hurry, because the box is already there to check against the cartridge coming out. This compatible cartridge is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns, so a spare bought ahead is not a gamble.
Chip, toner and everyday use
The cartridge carries a chip that the printer reads to confirm the fit and to track how much toner remains, so push the new cartridge in until it is fully seated — a half-seated cartridge is the usual reason a fresh one is not recognized. Before installing, rock the cartridge gently from side to side to level the toner inside; this evens out the first pages. Store the spare upright in its box, away from heat and bright light. If output turns light toward the end of a cartridge, removing it and rocking it again redistributes what is left and usually buys a little more printing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What toner does the Phaser 6605 take?
It takes the black 106R02228 toner cartridge — the single cartridge listed for this model on this page. If you are reordering, that number on the box is the one to match.
Are color cartridges or a high-yield version listed for the 6605 here?
No. This page stocks the one black cartridge only, with no color or high-yield alternatives. If your machine ever displays a code other than 106R02228, read it from the installed cartridge before ordering anything.
How can I double-check the number before I order?
Open the toner access cover and read the label on the cartridge already in the machine. It should read 106R02228; order the listing on this page and the replacement will match it.
My prints have started to look gray. Is the cartridge finished?
Washed-out, gray text is the classic end-of-life sign. Rocking the cartridge side to side redistributes the remaining toner and can restore decent output briefly, but fading that returns within a few pages means the cartridge is ready to be replaced.
