Frequently Asked Questions

Our MB461 MFP copies as much as it prints — how does that change how fast we go through this 5-pack?

Every page the MB461 MFP produces draws from the same 44574701 cartridge, whether it started as a print job from a computer or a copy made at the glass. Offices that copy heavily often find toner disappearing roughly twice as fast as their print volume alone would suggest. This 5-pack holds five cartridges rated at 4,000 pages each — 20,000 pages of combined printing and copying in total — so a copy-heavy desk can plan its supply around total pages out of the machine, not just pages sent from a PC.

What does the per-page cost work out to when copies are included?

The math does not change with the type of job: at $68.28 for the pack, each cartridge works out to about $13.66, and at 4,000 pages per cartridge the toner cost lands near 0.34 cents per page — roughly $3.41 per 1,000 pages. That figure covers copies and prints equally, which makes budgeting simpler for an MB461 MFP that does both all day.

How does the 5-pack price compare with buying the cartridges one at a time?

A single 44574701 cartridge sells for $28.45, so five bought separately would total $142.25. This pack is $68.28 — a saving of $73.97, which brings the per-cartridge price down from $28.45 to about $13.66. For a multifunction machine that burns through toner on two fronts, that difference adds up quickly over a year.

How do I know when the cartridge in the MB461 MFP is actually running low?

The usual signs are prints and copies that come out lighter, gray instead of black text, and fading that is worse on one side of the page. Copies often show it first because they are made from originals the machine reads at the glass. Gently rocking the cartridge side to side can redistribute the remaining toner and buy a little extra life, but once output stays pale after that, the cartridge is done and it is time to take the next one from the pack.

Does it matter that these are compatible cartridges rather than original Oki ones?

These are compatible 44574701 cartridges built for the MB461 MFP, not original Oki-branded stock. They carry a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so if a cartridge underperforms you are covered well beyond a typical return window. Orders ship from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST if anything about the cartridge needs sorting out.

Should the spare cartridges be stored anywhere in particular?

Keep the unopened cartridges in their sealed packaging, stored flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Toner is stable for long periods when sealed, so a 5-pack bought today will still print properly when the last cartridge is opened months later. Avoid damp storage rooms, and do not stack heavy items on top of the boxes.

About This Okidata MB461 MFP 5-Pack

This pack brings together five compatible 44574701 black toner cartridges listed for the Okidata MB461 MFP, each rated at up to 4,000 pages for a combined 20,000 pages. Because an MFP spends toner on copies as well as prints, the pack format suits machines that work both sides of the glass every day: the per-cartridge cost drops to about $13.66 against $28.45 bought singly, and the shelf always holds the next cartridge when the current one fades. It is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns — full details are on our shipping & returns page — and you can browse the wider range on our Okidata page.

Around it on the shelf sit the MB461 MFP single cartridge, the 44574701 5 pack, the high-yield 44574901 5 pack and the matching 44574301 drum unit. Every printer in the platform — MB471, MB471W, Oki B431d and MB461 MFP — runs on the 44574701.
