OkiPage 10EX
The Okidata OkiPage 10EX is a monochrome laser printer from OKI's long-running OkiPage line — a straightforward machine for basic office document work. It runs on the OKI Type 5 black toner cartridge, part number 52109001, rated at 2,000 pages. A single-cartridge design keeps the running costs of this older printer simple: one part number to order, stock and install.
Within the family, the EX is the office-ready sibling. As the old model notes put it, the EX adds network-ready and PostScript capabilities for office use, while the OkiPage 10E is the simpler personal version — and both take exactly the same 52109001 cartridge. Offices that kept a 10EX on the network long after newer models arrived did so because the consumable side of ownership never got complicated.

Which cartridge should you buy?
Every listing above is the same Type 5 cartridge, so the real choice is box count. A single cartridge is the right buy for a backup printer or a machine in occasional use. Offices keeping a 10EX in daily service should look at the five- and ten-packs: the per-cartridge cost drops, and having stock on site removes the risk of hunting down a legacy cartridge under deadline pressure. Because an unopened cartridge stores well, buying ahead carries little downside for this model — the stock keeps until the printer needs it.
Chip, toner and everyday use
Storage matters more than usual with a legacy printer, since spares may sit for months before use. Keep cartridges in their sealed bags, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and they stay ready for a long time. Install with the power on and the cartridge seated flat until it settles into place; if the first pages print light, remove it and rock it gently side to side to level the toner, then try again. Rated yield assumes roughly 5% coverage, so judge remaining life by output quality and the page counter, not by time in the machine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which toner does the OkiPage 10EX take?
The 10EX uses toner cartridge 52109001, the Type 5 black cartridge rated at 2,000 pages. It is shared with the 10E and 10I models and much of the wider OkiPage family below.
What is the difference between the OkiPage 10EX and the 10E?
Connectivity and language support: the EX is the network-ready, PostScript-capable office version, and the 10E is the simpler personal machine. For supplies there is no difference at all — the same 52109001 cartridge fits both.
Where should I store a spare 52109001 cartridge?
In its sealed bag, somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight. Stored that way, an unopened toner cartridge stays good for a long time — worth doing for a legacy model you intend to keep running.
Is the 52109001 the 10EX's only consumable?
Yes. The 10EX is a single-cartridge monochrome design, so the Type 5 toner is the only supply to buy, stock and replace on this printer.
