MB260MFP

The Okidata MB260MFP is a compact monochrome multifunction printer for home offices and small teams, offering print, copy, scan and fax in one unit. Its standard cartridge is the 56123401, and its high-yield cartridge is the 56123402 — the cartridge stocked on this page, sold as a single and in multipacks. One black cartridge runs the whole machine, whichever of its four jobs it is doing.

This is a discontinued model that a great many offices simply never stopped using — it still sits on desks doing unglamorous, essential work. Compatible cartridges are the smart way to keep a machine like that productive: the printer is long past the point where consumables should cost more than its remaining working life is worth. Because this page stocks the high-yield cartridge only, every listing below is the bigger cartridge, sized for people who would rather change toner rarely and get on with the day.

Which cartridge should you buy?

The honest answer on this page is simple: the 56123402 high-yield cartridge is the one stocked here, and it is the sensible default for almost everyone. The standard 56123401 exists in this family but is not among the listings on this page, so if the cartridge you pull out carries that number, match carefully before ordering. Within the high-yield shelf, the choice is only about quantity: a single cartridge for a quiet home office, or a two, three, five or ten pack if the machine serves a team and an empty printer would stall real work.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Changing toner on the MB260MFP is a clean, front-loading swap with no tools involved. Give the new cartridge a few gentle shakes before it goes in — that loosens toner that settled in transit — and slide it home until it seats. The chip on the compatible cartridge lets the machine recognize it and keep its toner warnings honest. Keep the spent cartridge upright in a bag until recycling day, and store spares somewhere cool and dry rather than on top of the machine itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner cartridge does the MB260MFP take?

The family cartridge pair is the 56123401 standard and the 56123402 high-yield. This page stocks the high-yield 56123402. Swap in a fresh cartridge when prints fade or the printer reports toner out — it is a quick front-loading change.

Is changing toner in the MB260MFP messy?

No — it is one of the cleaner swaps in this class of machine. Remove the spent cartridge, shake the replacement gently a few times, and slide it in. Keep the old cartridge upright in a bag until it goes out for recycling and nothing escapes.

What functions does the MB260MFP include?

Beyond black-and-white printing, it copies, scans to email or PC, and handles faxing — a full office hub in one footprint, all running on the same single black toner cartridge.

Is the standard 56123401 cartridge sold on this page?

Not at the moment — the listings here are the high-yield 56123402, as singles and multipacks. The high-yield cartridge fits the same machine and simply lasts longer between swaps.
