C5400DN

The Okidata C5400DN is the duplexing, networked member of OKI's C5400 color laser family, aimed at departments that share one machine. It runs on the Type C6 cartridge set — black 42804504 with cyan 42804503, magenta 42804502 and yellow 42804501 — and this page stocks the high-capacity color cartridges: 42127403 cyan, 42127402 magenta and 42127401 yellow.

A departmental printer earns its floor space by staying available, and the C5400DN was specified for exactly that: two-sided output for reports and a network connection so a whole team prints to one unit. Because it is shared, its toner tends to be swapped by whoever walks past first — which argues for the high-capacity colors above, since they stretch the interval between interruptions. One cartridge family covers the entire C5400 lineup, so a single shelf of spares supports every variant a department might run.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Start with how this printer is actually used. On a shared departmental machine, the high-capacity colors listed here are the sensible default: fewer swaps, fewer half-finished jobs waiting on a toner message, and a lower cost per color page than standard fills. The black cartridge on this machine is the standard 42804504; heavy black-and-white volume alongside the color work is the one case where a department should watch its black usage separately and reorder early. Buy colors one at a time as each runs down rather than replacing the set — the four cartridges deplete at different rates, and there is no need to retire a half-full cartridge because its neighbor emptied.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Compatible Type C6 cartridges carry a chip the printer reads to confirm the cartridge and track its level, and the C5400DN recognizes a correctly chipped cartridge on install — close the cover and let it finish its short calibration before judging the first page. Yield figures are estimates quoted at 5% page coverage, so a department printing dense color charts will see fewer pages than the rating suggests. Keep spare cartridges in their sealed bags in a cool cupboard, and give a cartridge that has been sitting for months a gentle side-to-side rock before fitting it, which loosens settled toner.

Frequently Asked Questions

What toner does the Okidata C5400DN take?

It takes the Type C6 family: black 42804504, cyan 42804503, magenta 42804502 and yellow 42804501. This page stocks the high-capacity color versions — 42127403 cyan, 42127402 magenta and 42127401 yellow.

Is there a black high-capacity cartridge for the C5400DN on this page?

No black cartridge is listed on this page; the stocked range is the three high-capacity colors. The machine's black is the standard 42804504 from the same Type C6 family.

Can I replace just one color at a time?

Yes. Each of the four cartridges is a separate unit and is replaced independently, so a low magenta never forces you to change cyan or yellow as well.

Do the same cartridges fit the other C5400 models?

Yes — the whole C5400 series and the wider Type C6 family listed below draw from the same cartridge set, which is why one spare set can cover several machines.
