MFP
This page is the multifunction shelf for Okidata's C-series color family: the place where the cartridges for the family's print-copy-scan machines are gathered. The cartridge stocked here is the Type C8 5 Color Set, built from the family's high-capacity cartridges — 43324404 black, 43324403 cyan, 43324402 magenta and 43324401 yellow.
A multifunction machine earns its keep differently from a plain printer. The same four cartridges that feed its printing also feed its copying, so a color that looks healthy on a print-only report can be drained by a week of copying flyers and forms. Keeping the complete set on the shelf means no single function — print or copy — is ever waiting on a toner order.

All four cartridges arrive together in the one stocked product, the Type C8 5 Color Set — five pieces covering every slot in the machine.
Which cartridge should you buy?
On a multifunction machine the full set is usually the sensible buy rather than the minimal one. Printing alone might let you replace a single color and move on, but copying draws on the same supply, and a machine that cannot copy in color is only half doing its job. The 5 Color Set restocks every slot at once and leaves a fifth piece as the spare for whichever color the next big copying run empties first. If the machine's work is almost entirely black-and-white, watch the black level separately — it will call for replacement well ahead of the colors.
Chip, toner and everyday use
The set's cartridges are chipped and report their levels to the machine individually, so the panel warning names the exact color to change. Install with the machine on and let it recognize the new cartridge before sending a job. Unopened cartridges keep best flat and away from heat and sunlight. When output fades in one color before any warning, slide that cartridge out and rock it gently to redistribute the toner — on a multifunction, do this before a long copy run rather than in the middle of one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does scanning on a multifunction use toner?
No. Scanning sends an image to a computer or email address and consumes nothing. Only the printing and copying functions draw on the four cartridges.
Do color copies use the color cartridges the same way printing does?
Yes — a color copy is produced with the same cyan, magenta, yellow and black toners as a color print. Heavy copying weeks show up in the cartridge levels exactly as heavy printing weeks do.
The panel says a cartridge is empty but the pages still look fine. What now?
Warnings arrive with a safety margin. Rock the named cartridge gently to level what remains and keep working; replace it when output in that color actually begins to fade, and use the set's spare so the machine is never down waiting for delivery.
Will this set fit my machine?
It fits the models in the family list below — the C-series machines that share the Type C8 family. If your model is listed there, this is its set; when in doubt, compare the number on the cartridge you remove with the four numbers in the table above.
