B512dn

At the top of its three-model family, the Okidata B512dn is a monochrome laser printer with duplexing and networking, built for shared office printing. It offers three black toner options: the 45807101 standard cartridge at 3,000 pages, the 45807105 at 7,000 pages, and the 45807110 extra-high-capacity cartridge at 12,000 pages for the offices that print the most. This page stocks the 7,000-page 45807105, as a single cartridge and in packs of two, three, five and ten.

A shared printer lives a different life from a personal one: its cartridge is consumed by a whole department's habits, not one person's. The B512dn's efficiency features — automatic two-sided printing and network status reporting among them — are aimed at that shared workload, and its toner choice should be too. A mid- or high-capacity cartridge in a busy shared machine means fewer interruptions landing on whoever happens to be standing nearest when the warning light comes on.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Match the tier to the traffic. The 3,000-page 45807101 is enough for a B512dn that serves a small team printing in short bursts. The 7,000-page 45807105 sold here is the natural fit for a genuinely shared machine: it more than doubles the interval between swaps, and buying it in multi-packs lowers the per-cartridge cost while guaranteeing a spare is in the building. Offices that print the most should look at the 12,000-page 45807110, which stretches the interval furthest of all. All three are the same fit, so the choice is purely about volume — and it can be revisited at every reorder.

Chip, toner and everyday use

On a networked printer, agree as an office who changes the cartridge, because the B512dn will report its toner level to anyone who looks. The swap itself is clean and tool-free: front cover open, old cartridge out by its handle, new one in until it seats. Avoid touching the chip contacts on the cartridge, and if the printer does not recognize a new unit, reseating it almost always settles the matter. Rated yields assume about 5% page coverage, so a department printing dense reports will see fewer pages than the rating. Bag the old cartridge upright for recycling rather than leaving it loose on a desk.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cartridge fits the B512dn?

Your B512dn takes the 45807101, 45807105 or 45807110 — one black cartridge at a time, dropping into the front of the printer in seconds. This page sells the 7,000-page 45807105.

Is changing toner in the B512dn messy?

No. The cartridge lifts out by its handle and the replacement slides in until it seats — a clean, tool-free change designed for whoever in the office draws the task.

Does the B512dn print on both sides automatically?

Yes, duplexing is standard: choose print on both sides in the print dialog. For reports and drafts it is one of the easiest ways to cut office paper use.

Which tier suits a shared office best?

For most shared machines, the 7,000-page 45807105 balances run length against cartridge cost. Only the heaviest print rooms gain from stepping up to the 12,000-page 45807110.
