Okidata C711 Toner | Compatible 44318604 Cartridges

C711

The Okidata C711 is a color laser printer aimed at small and midsize offices that want sharp, reliable color for everyday business documents. It belongs to the OKI Type C16 family: yellow 44318601, magenta 44318602, cyan 44318603 and black 44318604. The three colors load one at a time, so the C711 only ever needs the single cartridge that has run low, and the black is also offered in a three-pack for offices that print mostly in black. Compatible C711 cartridges deliver consistent color quality at a lower price.

The C711 is an A3-capable color printer, so its toner set is sized for larger-format output — and that size is exactly why the driver default matters more here than on a desktop printer. An accidental full-page color print at A3 costs far more than the same mistake on A4, so keeping the driver on black-and-white and choosing color per job is the habit that keeps this printer cheap to run. When color is called for, the printer supports longer media through its manual feed for banner-style printing, using the full color set for the job.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Buy the color that ran out, in the quantity your volume justifies. Singles are the everyday answer, and on an A3 machine the smart money goes into the driver settings first: a black-and-white default keeps the color cartridges for the jobs that earn them. Offices that print mostly in black should look at the black three-pack, since the black cartridge empties long before the colors do. The 4-color set refreshes everything when several channels are low together, and the 5-color and 8-color sets suit heavier color users who would rather keep spares on the shelf than order often.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Fit the new cartridge into its slot and let the printer recognize the chip before the next job; a short test print confirms the color is laying down cleanly. Rock the cartridge gently a few times before fitting it so the toner is evenly distributed. Page yields are quoted at about 5% coverage, and A3 pages cover far more area than A4, so a large-format job uses noticeably more toner than the page count alone suggests. Keep a spare black ready at all times, store cartridges sealed and upright away from heat and light, and rotate stock so the oldest cartridge is used first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner cartridges does the OKI C711 use?

The C711 uses yellow 44318601, magenta 44318602, cyan 44318603 and black 44318604 — four separate cartridges. It is an A3-capable color printer, so the toner set is sized for larger-format output.

Can the C711 print banners or long sheets?

The C711 supports longer media through its manual feed for banner-style printing, using the full color set for the job. Check the driver for the banner or long-paper media setting so the printer feeds and fuses correctly.

How do I avoid wasting color toner on the C711?

Keep the driver default on black-and-white and choose color per job — the C711 then uses only the black 44318604 cartridge for everyday documents. Because it is an A3 machine, accidental full-page color prints are expensive, so the mono default matters more here than on a desktop printer.
