MC860DN

The Okidata MC860DN is a color multifunction printer built on OKI's Type C14 engine, bringing A3-capable color output plus scanning and copying to workgroups. Its three color cartridges — yellow 44059213, magenta 44059214 and cyan 44059215 — run roughly 10,000 pages each, and the set is completed by black 44059216. The DN's automatic two-sided printing is standard, which suits offices that copy and print documents all day.

Think of the DN as the workhorse configuration: no exotic extras, just a networked, duplexing color MFP sized for a workgroup's combined print and copy load. Its running costs are unusually controllable, because the two biggest waste sources — needless color and single-sided paper — are both driver defaults away from being fixed.

Which cartridge should you buy?

With the colors rated around 10,000 pages, a workgroup should expect long intervals between color orders and should plan around the black cartridge, which document work consumes steadily. Buy singles as levels dictate; the only mistake worth avoiding is ordering a full set because one color flagged low — the other three still hold most of their toner. When several levels do converge, a four-color set is the tidy reset. Compatible cartridges here are backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Two of this machine's four functions ignore toner entirely: scanning sends documents onward without printing anything, and incoming faxes can queue in memory — so a low-toner warning is never a reason to stop scanning work. For printing, install cartridges promptly once opened, keep a spare black within reach of the machine rather than in a distant store room, and remember the 5% coverage basis behind yield figures when a color runs out sooner than its headline number promised.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner cartridges does the OKI MC860DN use?

Yellow 44059213, magenta 44059214, cyan 44059215 and black 44059216. It is an A3-capable color multifunction, so each cartridge is sized for workgroup volumes and replaced individually.

How do I keep color costs down on the MC860DN?

Set the driver default to black-and-white, so only pages that genuinely need color draw on the color cartridges, and enable duplex by default as well — the DN includes automatic two-sided printing, and using it halves the paper side of the bill.

Does low toner affect the MC860DN's scanning or faxing?

No. Scanning to email, network folders or USB works independently of toner levels, and incoming faxes queue in memory. Only printing and copying stop when a cartridge is empty.
