OkiPage 14

The OkiPage 14 is a monochrome printer from OKI's 14-series desktop line, and its consumables come in two parts rather than one. The toner itself is the standard Type 5 black cartridge, part number 52109001; alongside it sits a separate image drum, part number 41331701, which the toner works against to put the image on the page. Official OKI documentation for the 14-series engine names both numbers, so between them they are the complete shopping list for this printer.

That split changes how you should think about running costs and troubleshooting. Toner is the fast-moving part — it empties, you replace it, and the drum carries on working through several cartridges in a row. Owners who treat the two as one item end up either replacing a healthy drum early or blaming fresh toner for print defects that actually live in an aging drum. Keep the roles separate in your mind and the OkiPage 14 is an inexpensive machine to keep: toner on a regular rhythm, the drum only when its own life runs out or its surface starts marking pages.

Drum unit, sold separately: the 41331701 image drum is the long-life partner to the toner above. It is not a toner cartridge and is not stocked on this page, but it belongs to this model — a drum typically outlasts several 52109001 cartridges before it needs attention.

Which cartridge should you buy?

For toner there is exactly one answer, the 52109001, so the buying question reduces to quantity. A single cartridge suits an owner who prints occasionally and can wait for delivery when one runs out. The 5 Pack fits a desk that prints weekly and cannot afford a gap — and buying toner ahead is safe precisely because the drum decision stays separate: you are not stockpiling a part that might turn out to be the wrong fix. Resist the urge to replace the drum at the same time "while you are at it." Unless pages show the streaks or repeating marks of a worn drum, that money is better spent on the toner you will actually use.

Chip, toner and everyday use

When a drum does go in, reset the drum counter through the printer's menu afterward, so the machine tracks the new unit's life from zero instead of nagging you about the old one. The most common scare on this model — thin white lines running down the page — is often neither toner nor drum at first: the LED strip inside the cover picks up dust and toner film, and a gentle wipe with a dry, lint-free cloth clears it. Store spare toner sealed and flat, away from heat and sunlight, and give a cartridge that is fading a gentle rock from side to side before you conclude it is empty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner does the OkiPage 14 use?

The toner cartridge is the Type 5 black, part number 52109001. The other number you will see for this model, 41331701, is not a toner at all — it is the separate image drum the toner pairs with.

My prints have vertical white lines. Is it the toner or the drum?

Start with the simplest cause: clean the LED strip. If the lines survive cleaning and appear in the same position page after page, the drum surface is likely scratched or worn, and the 41331701 drum is the part to replace — fresh toner will not cure a damaged drum.

How do I replace the drum on the OkiPage 14?

Open the cover, lift the old 41331701 unit out, and slide the new one in along its guide rails until it seats. Then reset the drum counter in the menu so the printer measures the new drum's life accurately from the start.

How long does the drum last compared with the toner?

Much longer — the drum is designed to keep working through several toner cartridges. Replace it on condition (persistent lines, repeating marks, background shading) or when the printer's own counter says its life is spent, not on the toner's schedule.
