Frequently Asked Questions

How long will one cartridge realistically last in a B4100?

The cartridge is the Okidata 42103001, rated at up to 2,500 pages. What that means in calendar time depends on your volume: at around 100 pages a month it can last roughly two years, while a busier desk printing 500 pages a month will work through it in about five months. The B4100 is a light-duty desktop machine, and for most of them a single cartridge is a long-lived supply.

What does each page cost with this cartridge?

At $25.48 over a rated 2,500 pages, about 1.02 cents per page. If your B4100's workload grows, the same cartridge in the 5-pack brings that down to roughly 0.43 cents per page.

My B4100's prints have gone pale — is the cartridge finished?

Fading and patchy output are the classic signs of a cartridge near the end of its toner. You can often coax a few more pages out by removing the cartridge and gently rocking it side to side to redistribute the toner, but that is a short reprieve — a fresh 42103001 is the real fix.

Does this cartridge fit other Oki printers besides the B4100?

Yes. The 42103001 is the shared cartridge for the B4100, B4200, B4250, B4300, B4300n and B4350. If you later replace or add a printer from that family, your spare cartridges carry over.

Is there a cheaper way to keep a B4100 supplied?

If the printer is in steady use, the 5-pack of the same cartridge is $53.45 — $10.69 per cartridge instead of $25.48, saving $73.95 against five singles. For a truly occasional printer, though, the single keeps your money in your pocket instead of on a shelf.

What if the new cartridge doesn't perform as it should?

It is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns — details are on our shipping & returns page. Our support team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
