MB472w

The Okidata MB472w is a wireless monochrome MFP that puts print, scan, copy and fax anywhere within Wi-Fi range. Per OKI's US page, its black toner options are the 45807101 small cartridge (about 3,000 pages) and the high-yield 45807105 (about 7,000 pages) — and it is the high-yield cartridge that this page stocks, in counts from a single up to a 10-pack.

Wireless placement frees the machine from the desk next to the router, which suits shared spaces, back offices and anywhere a cable run is impractical. The listings below carry the B412dn name because that printer uses this same pair of cartridges; the W on this model adds wireless, and the cartridges are unchanged.

Toner Cartridges for MB472w

Cartridge	Color	Page Yield
45807105 single cartridge	Black	About 7,000 pages
45807105 — 2-pack	Black	About 7,000 pages per cartridge
45807105 — 3-pack	Black	About 7,000 pages per cartridge
45807105 — 5-pack	Black	About 7,000 pages per cartridge
45807105 — 10-pack	Black	About 7,000 pages per cartridge

The listings above are filed under the B412dn name — the same 45807105 high-yield cartridge this printer uses. The smaller 45807101 cartridge (about 3,000 pages) also fits the MB472w; it is not stocked on this page.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Two sizes fit this printer. The 45807101, at about 3,000 pages, is the smaller commitment for a lightly used machine. The 45807105, at about 7,000 pages, more than doubles the interval between changes and lowers the cost per page — the natural pick for a shared wireless MFP that several people print to, and the size stocked here. Within the listings above, choose the count by appetite: a single for one machine on light duty, and the multi-packs where uptime matters and a spare should always be in the building.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Jobs sent from phones and tablets on the same network spend toner exactly like jobs from a computer, so a wireless machine's cartridge can age faster than its walk-up use suggests. Heed the chip's low-toner warning when it appears, keep a sealed spare stored flat and out of sunlight, and if a cartridge fades near its end, rocking it gently side to side levels the remaining toner for a few more pages. Yield figures assume roughly 5 percent coverage per page, so heavy, dense documents will land below the rated counts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What toner does the Okidata MB472w take?

It takes the 45807101 standard cartridge (about 3,000 pages) or the 45807105 high-yield cartridge (about 7,000 pages) — the same pair as the B412dn. This page stocks the high-yield size.

Can I print from my phone to the MB472w?

Yes. The wireless model supports mobile printing from phones and tablets on the same network, and mobile jobs use toner exactly like computer-sent jobs.

My MB472w copies of receipts come out too dark. How do I fix it?

Lower the copy density setting for thin originals like receipts, which the scanner tends to over-darken. If regular prints from the computer are also too dark, then check the toner and drum.
