C3200
The Okidata C3200 is a compact color printer from OKI's Type C6 generation, suited to small offices and individual desktops. Its toner set is black 43034804, cyan 43034803, magenta 43034802 and yellow 43034801 — use these exact numbers when ordering for the C3200, because the four differ only in the final digit and are easy to transpose in a hurry.
The C3200 was the later model in this entry-level color family, a refresh of the C3100 platform rather than a new direction. For owners that is good news twice over: the machine is a known quantity, and consumable buying did not change across the refresh — a cartridge bought for the earlier model serves this one, and the C3200 asks for nothing exotic to keep it in service.
Toner Cartridges for C3200
| Cartridge | Color | Page Yield |
|---|---|---|
| 43034803 | Cyan — listing 1 of 2 on this page | See product page |
| 43034803 | Cyan — listing 2 of 2 on this page | See product page |
The stocked cartridge on this page is the cyan 43034803, carried in two listings of the same supply. The remaining Type C6 numbers, for reference when you reorder: yellow 43034801, magenta 43034802, black 43034804.
Which cartridge should you buy?
For the C3200, disciplined single-color buying is the whole game. The stocked item here is the cyan cartridge — the right purchase when blues fade or the printer names cyan as low. Order it under its full number, 43034803, and be wary of the family's look-alike numbering when you buy the other colors elsewhere: 43034801, 43034802 and 43034804 sit one digit apart, and the wrong one will not be a bargain at any price. Because the C3200 uses the same set as its predecessor, a spare bought for a C3100 in the same office is already a spare for this machine.
Chip, toner and everyday use
Small color printers telegraph most supply problems through print quality before they stop, so read the page before the panel. Output that drifts dark across every color is usually a density or brightness setting in the driver, not four failing cartridges — lower the density first and reprint a test page. A single color printing too dark while the others behave points instead at that one cartridge or its drum over-delivering, and isolating the channel this way saves replacing supplies that were never at fault. Keep the C3200's cartridges seated firmly and the machine out of direct sunlight; heat ages toner in the cartridge as surely as it ages paper in the tray.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which toner does the Oki C3200 use?
Yellow 43034801, magenta 43034802, cyan 43034803 and black 43034804 — the same Type C6 toner family as the C3100 and C3100n.
Is the C3200 newer or older than the C3100?
Newer — it is the later refresh of the same entry-level platform. Both generations use the identical 43034801–43034804 set, so switching between them changes nothing about supply buying.
My C3200's colors print too dark — how do I lighten output?
Lower the toner density or brightness in the driver before reprinting; dark output is normally a setting, not a faulty cartridge. Only when one color alone prints dark should you suspect that specific cartridge or its drum.
Does the C3200 take the same cyan cartridge as the C3100?
Yes — 43034803, the cartridge stocked on this page. The refresh kept the consumables, so C3100 and C3200 owners order from the same shelf.
