Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this cartridge sold under the number 42103001 instead of a printer name?

Because 42103001 is the cartridge's own Okidata part number, and ordering by that number takes the guesswork out of reordering. This one black cartridge serves a whole family of Oki mono printers — the B4100, B4200, B4250, B4300, B4300n and B4350 — so the number identifies the cartridge itself rather than any single machine. If the empty cartridge you pulled out is marked 42103001, this is the same cartridge.

How many pages does one 42103001 cartridge print?

It is rated at up to 2,500 pages at the standard 5% page coverage. Pages with dense text, forms or graphics use more toner and will land below that figure; light everyday documents usually come close to it.

What does the printing cost work out to per page?

At $25.48 for a cartridge rated at 2,500 pages, the math comes to roughly 1.02 cents per page. That makes this single a sensible buy when you need one cartridge now and do not want money sitting on a shelf in spare toner.

I only print a few pages a week — is a single cartridge the right buy?

For a light user, yes. A single 42103001 can cover many months of occasional printing at that pace, and there is no benefit in stocking packs you may not open for a long time. Keep the cartridge in its sealed packaging, stored flat in a cool, dry place, until the day you install it.

When does stepping up to the 5-pack make more sense?

When you go through cartridges regularly. Five singles bought one at a time would cost $127.40, while the 42103001 5-pack is $53.45 — $10.69 per cartridge and a saving of $73.95. The 6-pack goes further still at $60.44. If your printer earns its keep every week, the packs cut the per-page cost from about 1.02 cents to roughly 0.43 cents.

What if the cartridge gives me trouble after I install it?

Every cartridge we sell is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns — the full terms are on our shipping & returns page. Support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, if you want a hand before you send anything back.
