My Samsung SCX 3405W is new and the starter cartridge is almost gone at 440 copies. Will the starter cartridge take the whole 65 grams of your toner powder which is for printing 1500 pages or will i need to purchase a new regular cartridge first??

I used a Toner Tap refill kit in a starter cartridge for a Samsung ML-2165W and would recommend not pouring all of the toner into the cartridge. I would only put about 75% of the toner in the cartridge regardless of whether you are refilling a starter or regular cartridge. There will be residual toner in the cartridge and if you try to put all of the bottle's contents you'll probably overflow it and create a mess. You could add the rest of the toner after you have printed a few 100 pages.

The first toner cartridge that comes with the machine is a starter cartridge and there is not as much toner as a new replacement. I do a lot or printing with my brother in my HO (home office) as well as my other 5 Brothers (all the same model located at our manufacturing facility) and I have not notice excessive usage of the black toner. If the issue continues, I would contact Brother since it is apparently a new machine. Hope this helps.

It comes with a "starter" cartridge which is known to run out after 200-250 pages. You have to buy a normal cartridge very shortly. Original cartridges (2600 pages) are expensive but I had no problem with a compatible third-party one (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0062ZNYFK/, $11). There is also a setting that controls what will happen if toner is low (25% or below): default is stop working, but you can change it to continue working (device settings/remote setup/general setup/replace toner: "continue").

it comes with a starter toner ink cartridge. It does quite a lot of pages before needing to be replaced. In fact I gave it to my brother to finish out the toner in his machine after ordering a new high capacity toner cartridge for myself. This is a great machine for all your Black and White printing.

Good info on holding down the green key for about 4 sec to get the page count.Never looked at this before. My very old 1022 printed 15,220 pages... so far ... and still going strong.Here is my data point. I get about 2,000 pages per LD brand toner cartridge.

It says in description it comes with the smaller toner cartridges not the High capacity toner cartridges. The standard cartridge is supposed to be good for 2500. High yield ~4000 for black. Color is supposed to be 1500 for standard or 3000 for high yield. I have printed approximately 1000 pages mostly black and white so far and have not run out of toner yet.

Hi Sharon,I've bought 3 of these kits with 4 each refills. I think the toner will probably cover more than 4,000 copies, but the chips that come with it only allow you to get 4,000 per refill. You could probably do a partial refill, but will have to get replacement chips. Refilling is pretty easy, but can be messy - so you may want to do it outside. I've saved a ton of money with these though and haven't had any toner quality problems. Would definitely buy again.

Since I am still using the cartridge that I purchased, I have no idea. Even if I was out, I don't keep track of the number of pages I print on a print cartridge. Actually, my experience with toner cartridges depends on how you print... mostly text = more pages, mostly pictures (more toner per page) = less pages yield. Right now, I am expecting a yield that is similar to the yield of the official Brother cartridge.

It does come with a starter toner ink cartridge, I purchased mine last year so I can't recall the number of pages it printed. The printer has performed very well.

No. I've used V4Ink and Monoprice cartridges and they just dump toner all over the page. I'm just going to buy a new printer since it's cheaper than buying new (though higher capacity) toner cartridges. I really wish printer companies would stop this silly "starter toner" BS and just sell printers with regular cartridges.

My recollection is that it came with starter toner - not the full amount. I later had issues when changing multiple toners and had to trash the printer. I cannot recommend this printer.

Yes, starter toners come with the copier and should last a couple hundred copies, if not more depending upon color density.

I recommend the 105L high capacity toner cartridge for this printer. For almost the same price you get 1000 more pages. I think that the starter cartridge gets 750 pages (1.5 reams), the standard gets 1500 pages (3 reams), the high capacity gets 2500 pages, (5 reams). Your mileage may vary. I couldn't find that 105L in stores, but it's readily available online, and it costs the same online as the standard does in stores.

It comes with starter toner. You need to go buy a full set (or individual if you want )

You have to read the manual to discover this, but the default 'starter' cartridge that comes with the printer is only half full. Figure 1,000 pages, tops. As a matter of coincidence, mine just ran out and I have to buy one on my way home tonite.

The Samsung SL-M3220 printer came with a MLTD203S toner cartridge, which can print about 3,000 pages. It is not a starter toner cartridge, which would printer many fewer pages. We are still using the original that came with the printer.
