MC860T2

The Okidata MC860T2 is a tray-configured version of the MC860 color multifunction printer, built for offices that need extra paper capacity alongside wide-format color output. It uses the same US Type C14 cartridges as the rest of the range: black 44059216 with yellow 44059213, magenta 44059214 and cyan 44059215 beside it. Compatible cartridges keep this expanded-capacity MFP economical to run.

The extra trays are the point of the T2: letter stock in one, tabloid in another, perhaps letterhead in a third — several media loaded at once and no swapping paper mid-job. Machines configured this way tend to serve mixed workloads, part everyday documents and part large-format color, and their toner use follows the same split: black steadily, colors in bursts when the wide-format work arrives.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Order against the panel's levels, one cartridge at a time. A T2's mixed workload means the colors rarely deplete together — a month of tabloid posters may drain cyan and magenta while yellow barely moves — so sets are for deliberate full refreshes, not routine restocking. Keep the black cartridge as your standing spare; it serves every workload the machine has. Compatible cartridges on this page come with a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Color accuracy drifts gradually on any hard-working color engine, and fresh toner can shift density slightly, so run the printer's calibration from its menu after installing a new color cartridge and periodically in between. Beyond that, the everyday rules are plain ones: keep cartridges sealed until installation, let the chip register before judging a level reading, and store spare stock away from the heat that a busy print room generates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner does the Oki MC860T2 use?

Yellow 44059213, magenta 44059214, cyan 44059215 and black 44059216. The T2 designation covers the tray configuration; the toner set is the same as the base MC860.

What does the T2 in MC860T2 mean?

It indicates the tray configuration — the T2 ships with additional paper trays for higher capacity and for holding multiple media types at once. Toner is unaffected: the same four Type C14 cartridges fit every MC860 configuration.

How do I keep colors accurate on the MC860T2?

Run the printer's color calibration from the menu periodically. It realigns the color output so prints track screen colors more closely, and it is especially worth doing after a fresh color cartridge goes in, since new toner can shift density slightly.

Can I load different paper sizes without affecting toner use?

The trays change paper handling only. Toner consumption follows what is printed and how much of the page it covers — a full-bleed tabloid sheet uses far more than a letter-size memo, whatever tray it came from.
