Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this cartridge identified by the number 52109001?
That is the Okidata part number for this black toner cartridge, and it is the surest way to identify what you are ordering. Model names multiplied across the OkiPage range over the years, but the 52109001 code stayed constant, so the listing leads with it: if the cartridge you are replacing, or your printer manual, shows 52109001, this is the unit that takes its place.
How much printing does this one cartridge hold?
This listing's cartridge is rated at up to 2,000 pages under standard test coverage. Dense, text-heavy documents will finish it sooner and light memos will stretch it further, as with any toner rating. On an OkiPage that prints a handful of pages a day, a single cartridge covers a long, uneventful stretch of everyday work.
What does a page cost with this cartridge?
At $28.77 for up to 2,000 pages, the arithmetic comes to roughly 1.44 cents per page. This is toner for a mature OkiPage machine rather than a modern high-volume printer, and the honest value here is plainer than a bargain headline: the correct cartridge for a printer that has become hard to feed, at a price per page you can work out before you buy.
Is this an original Okidata cartridge?
No. This is a compatible 52109001 cartridge built to the same specification, not an original Okidata product. It is a newly manufactured compatible unit rather than a refilled original shell, and it is covered by a one-year warranty.
My OkiPage sometimes sits unused for weeks. Does that harm the cartridge?
No. Toner is a dry powder, so there is nothing to dry out the way ink does; a printer that wakes up once a fortnight draws on the same cartridge as one that prints every day. If you ever keep a spare, leave it sealed in its bag in a cool, dry cupboard out of direct sunlight.
What protection comes with the order, and where does it ship from?
The cartridge carries a one-year warranty, and the order is covered by free returns for one year under the policy on our shipping and returns page. Orders leave our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and the wider compatible range for these printers sits on our Okidata toner page.
