Frequently Asked Questions

We mostly copy and scan on our MC573 — does this pack cover copying too?

Yes. On a multifunction machine like the MC573, copies are printed with the same toner cartridges as regular print jobs, so the black cartridge does double duty. This pack's two 46490604 cartridges — up to 14,000 pages combined — cover black printing and black copying alike, which is why an MFP can work through toner faster than a print-only machine.

What does the 2 pack save us compared with buying cartridges one at a time?

A single 46490604 cartridge is $36.95, so two bought separately come to $73.90. The pack is $55.40, saving $18.50, and it drops the per-cartridge price to $27.70. For a machine that prints and copies all day, restocking in pairs is the cheaper routine.

What is our cost per page across the pack?

With 14,000 rated pages across the two cartridges for $55.40, toner runs at roughly 0.40 cents per page — noticeably below the approximately 0.53 cents per page of the single cartridge. Heavy copy volumes make that gap worth having, since the same saving repeats on every restock.

How do we handle the changeover when the first cartridge empties?

Keep the second cartridge sealed in its box until the machine asks for it. Because it is already in the building, the swap takes minutes and the MC573 is straight back to printing and copying. Store the spare somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight.

Does this cartridge also work in our other machines?

The 46490604 is the black cartridge for the MC573 and MC573DN, and also for the C532 and C532DN printers. If your office mixes those models, one pack type covers them all. You can check the wider selection on our Okidata toner page.

What if we have a problem with one of the cartridges?

Each cartridge carries a one-year warranty and returns are free for a year, as explained on our shipping and returns page. Our support team is on hand Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and orders ship from warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California.
