Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect from one cartridge in my MC573DN?

One 46490604 black cartridge, rated at up to 7,000 pages, for $36.95. On an MC573DN that rating has to cover everything the machine prints in black — documents from the network, copies, and incoming faxes alike — so busy multifunction use will move through those 7,000 pages faster than the same rating on a lightly used printer.

What does that work out to per printed page?

About 0.53 cents per page: $36.95 spread over the 7,000-page rating. The rating follows the standard 5% coverage measure, and ordinary office documents track it well. Pages with dense black areas draw more toner, so real-world cost per page rises a bit on graphics-heavy work.

How will I know when the cartridge is nearly done?

The machine will warn you as toner runs low, and prints typically start to look faded or uneven before the cartridge is completely empty. That fading stage is the practical signal to order — with a 7,000-page cartridge, most offices get plenty of notice between the first pale pages and a genuinely empty cartridge.

Which machines take this cartridge?

The 46490604 is the black cartridge for the MC573DN and MC573 multifunction models, and for the C532 and C532DN printers. One cartridge number across printers and MFPs keeps ordering straightforward if your office runs several of them. See our Okidata toner page for the rest of the range.

Is this an OEM cartridge?

No — it is a compatible cartridge made to match the 46490604 specification rather than an Okidata original. It is covered by a one-year warranty, and returns are free for a year, with the process set out on our shipping and returns page.

Where will my order be sent from?

We dispatch from four warehouses — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California — choosing the one that gets the cartridge to you fastest. If you need advice before ordering, support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
