Okidata C711DTN Toner | Compatible 44318604 Cartridges

C711DTN

The Okidata C711DTN is the C711 color laser printer in its high-duty configuration: automatic duplexing and extra tray capacity are added for offices whose document volume would keep a base model busy all day. It prints from the Type C16 cartridge family — black 44318604, cyan 44318603, magenta 44318602 and yellow 44318601 — with each color carried in its own cartridge, so a supply run for this machine is always a single-color errand rather than a full set.

A printer bought in DTN trim is usually bought for throughput: long two-sided reports, multi-tray paper handling and a queue of users who expect the machine to be ready. That makes stock discipline part of the configuration. Keeping one sealed spare of each color on the shelf means a cartridge warning at 4 p.m. never becomes an overnight stoppage, and because the four channels empty at different rates, reordering follows the printer's own messages instead of a calendar guess.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Start from whichever channel the printer is complaining about. The C711DTN's four cartridges are independent, and text-heavy offices almost always drain black first while color levels fall slowly behind it, so single cartridges are the economical default for routine top-ups. A four-color set earns its place at a planned full change — after a long color project, or when several channels report low together — and as shelf stock for a machine that cannot wait on shipping. Buying the set for a single empty color leaves three cartridges aging in a cupboard; buying singles when all four are due means four deliveries to track. Match the order to the messages on the panel and the choice makes itself.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Each Type C16 cartridge carries a chip the C711DTN reads for toner level reporting, so the panel's per-color gauges reflect what is actually installed. When a new cartridge goes in, rock it gently from side to side first to loosen the toner, remove the protective seal, and push it into its color-coded slot until it seats with a click — a half-seated cartridge is the usual cause of a color that drops out of prints entirely. Keep unopened spares flat, out of direct sunlight, and away from heat; toner keeps well, but a cartridge stored on a warm windowsill can clump before it ever reaches the printer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cartridges fit the C711DTN?

Four individual cartridges: black 44318604, cyan 44318603, magenta 44318602 and yellow 44318601 — the Type C16 set. Each one is replaced on its own when it runs out.

Does the duplexing change which toner the C711DTN uses?

No. The DTN extras — duplex unit and trays — are paper-handling features. The toner set is identical to the rest of the C711 line, and two-sided printing consumes toner per printed side just as single-sided work does.

One color on my C711DTN prints faded while the others look fine. What should I do?

Swap only that color's cartridge first; a single faded channel is almost never a four-cartridge problem. If a fresh cartridge does not restore the color, run the printer's color registration adjustment, which realigns the four LED printheads using a printed test pattern.

Can I use C711 cartridges in the C711DTN?

Yes — the whole C711 family shares the Type C16 cartridges listed above. The differences between family members are trays, duplexing and network options, not the toner.
