B930DTN

The Okidata B930DTN is a department-level monochrome laser printer with duplexing, an extra paper tray and networking, configured for offices that print serious black-and-white volume. Its consumable is a single black print cartridge, the 52117101 — the same cartridge used across the whole B930 engine family, so one spare covers this machine and every sibling beside it.

The extra tray is the B930DTN's signature. Departments load two paper stocks at once — letter in one tray, legal or envelopes in another — and the printer pulls from the right one automatically, which removes the tray-swapping ritual from mixed document work. A machine set up that way is expected to run long jobs without babysitting, and its toner supply should be planned with the same set-and-forget mindset.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Every listing on this page is the same 52117101 cartridge, so the only real choice is how many to keep in the building. A department that prints steadily but predictably can run on single cartridges, reordering as each one fades. The five-pack is the natural department buy: it lowers the per-cartridge cost and guarantees the spare exists before it is needed, which matters on a machine whose whole purpose is long, unattended runs. Offices standardizing several B930-family printers should consolidate on the larger packs — one shared cartridge code across the family makes a single deep spare pool possible, instead of a shallow one per machine.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Before starting a long run on the B930DTN, glance at the toner level — a cartridge change halfway through a two-tray job is the one interruption this machine cannot route around. The swap itself is not messy: the cartridge loads from the front, and giving the new unit a few gentle shakes before it goes in evens the toner for the first pages. Keep the spent cartridge upright in a bag until it goes to recycling, and keep the spare stored horizontally in its packaging, out of direct light. If a new cartridge is not recognized, lift it out and reseat it; the chip reads on a properly seated unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cartridge fits the B930DTN?

The 52117101 — a single black cartridge shared by the entire B930 family, sold here as singles and in multi-packs under several of the family's listings.

Is changing toner in the B930DTN messy?

No. It is a clean front-loading swap: remove the spent cartridge, shake the new 52117101 gently a few times, and slide it in until it seats.

Why does the B930DTN have multiple paper trays?

The extra tray lets you keep two paper sizes loaded at once — letter in one, legal or envelopes in another — and the printer pulls from the right tray automatically. It also means fewer refills during long print runs.

Does the B930DTN print two-sided?

Yes, duplexing is part of this configuration, so two-sided output is a driver setting rather than an add-on. On long departmental documents it cuts paper use substantially.
