Frequently Asked Questions

Our MB471 MFP is shared by the whole team — how far does a 5-pack stretch?

Shared machines consume toner at the team's combined rate, so work backwards from total pages. This pack contains five 44574701 cartridges at up to 4,000 pages each — 20,000 pages altogether. A team putting 1,500 pages a month through the MB471 MFP would use a cartridge roughly every two and a half months and get a little over a year from the pack. Because nobody on a shared machine wants to be the person who finds it empty, the real benefit is the reserve: four spares waiting while one is installed.

How much does the team save by stocking the pack instead of reordering singles?

One 44574701 cartridge costs $28.45 on its own; five separate orders would come to $142.25. The pack is $68.28, saving $73.97 and cutting the per-cartridge cost to about $13.66. There is also the quieter saving of fewer emergency orders — a shared multifunction that stops mid-week usually triggers a rushed single-cartridge purchase at exactly the higher price.

Does copying on the MB471 MFP draw from the same cartridge as printing?

Yes. Prints sent from computers and copies made at the glass both come from the installed 44574701 cartridge, so team copy volume counts against the same 4,000-page rating. When you estimate how long each cartridge will last, add the copying to the printing — on a busy shared MFP the copies are often a third or more of everything the machine produces.

Who should keep track of the spares, and where?

One shelf or drawer near the machine, with one named person keeping an eye on the count, works better than cartridges scattered around the office. Keep spares sealed and flat, away from heat and sunlight. When the installed cartridge fades, swap in the next one from the box and note it — when the last spare goes in, that is the moment to reorder the next pack.

What happens if one cartridge in the pack turns out to be faulty?

Each cartridge is covered individually by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so a problem with one unit does not affect the standing of the other four. These are compatible cartridges rather than original Oki-branded ones; the cover is ours, and it applies from the day the pack arrives. Support runs Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and orders ship from our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses.

How will we know the installed cartridge is near the end?

Output gets lighter, blacks turn gray, and fading often shows first on one side of the page. On a shared machine, ask the team to mention fading when they see it rather than working around it — a quick cartridge swap from the pack takes minutes, while a faded print run discovered after a meeting is far more annoying.
