Managing drum units, fuser, and belt life
The OKI MC873dn relies on modular long-life components alongside standard toner cartridges. Separate image drums rated for 30,000 pages, a 44846204 transfer belt rated for 80,000 pages, and a 44848805 fuser unit rated for 100,000 pages allow targeted replacement of worn parts without discarding functional items.
Experience Tip: The 44844481 series drum units last up to 30,000 pages, meaning each image drum typically outlasts two to three complete black toner cartridge cycles.
Ordering options and Australian dispatch
If you print mostly text-heavy reports and routine paperwork, purchasing the 45862832 black cartridge individually keeps overheads predictable. For colour marketing collateral and presentations, ordering spare 45862828 yellow, 45862829 magenta, and 45862830 cyan toners prevents workflow delays. Every purchase is protected by our returns policy. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99, with fast dispatch from warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Pro Tip
Monitor image drum and fuser life percentages through the printer web interface so you can order replacement 44846204 belt units or 44848805 fusers well before they hit their end-of-life cutoff.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the OKI MC873dn use separate drum units and toner cartridges?
The LED printing system separates the 45862832 toner container from the 44844481 image drum. This design allows you to replace only the depleted toner without discarding a functional drum, reducing operational waste and lowering cost per page.
When should I replace the 44846204 transfer belt and 44848805 fuser unit?
The transfer belt is rated for 80,000 pages and the fuser unit for 100,000 pages. The printer alerts you when these components approach their maximum page count, allowing plenty of time to secure replacements before print quality degrades.
Do all four colour toners deplete at the same rate in the MC873dn?
No, black toner (45862832) usually depletes significantly faster than cyan (45862830), magenta (45862829), or yellow (45862828) due to standard text printing. Replacing individual toners as needed is standard practice for high-volume office environments.
