Frequently Asked Questions

Can we do the full cost-per-page accounting on this 2 pack?

Yes. The pack costs $55.40 and contains two 46490604 cartridges rated at 7,000 pages each — 14,000 pages in total. That puts toner at roughly 0.40 cents per page. Compare the single cartridge at $36.95 for 7,000 pages, about 0.53 cents per page, and the pack is clearly the cheaper way to buy the identical cartridge.

Exactly how much does the pack save against buying singly?

Two single cartridges total $73.90; the pack is $55.40, so the saving is $18.50 per restock cycle — $9.25 per cartridge, since each cartridge in the pack effectively costs $27.70 instead of $36.95. Repeated over a year of restocks on a hard-working C532, that recurring gap becomes a real line in the supplies budget.

At 1,000 pages a month, how long does one pack last us?

About 14 months: 14,000 rated pages divided by 1,000 pages a month. At 2,000 pages a month, expect roughly seven months from a pack. Because one cartridge goes in the printer and the other waits sealed on the shelf, a single pack order covers that whole stretch without a second purchase decision in between.

Who should stick with the single cartridge instead?

Very light users. If your printer only produces a few hundred pages a month, a single 7,000-page cartridge already lasts well over a year, and tying up cash in a spare may not be worth it. The pack earns its keep where volume is steady or the printer is shared — that is when the lower per-page cost and the ready spare both matter.

Are both cartridges protected if one turns out faulty?

Yes — each 46490604 cartridge in the pack carries the same one-year warranty, and the order qualifies for free returns for a year. The details are on our shipping and returns page. Keep the spare sealed until you install it, and its coverage is there when you need it.

Which printers can actually use these cartridges?

The C532 and C532DN printers and the MC573 and MC573DN multifunction models — the 46490604 is the black cartridge for all four. Offices standardized on those machines can budget around this one pack. Our Okidata toner page covers the broader compatible range, and support runs Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
