FAQs

Is this an original OEM cartridge?

No, this is a high-quality compatible cartridge designed to meet or exceed the performance of the original OKI product.

Does this ribbon work with all OKI Microline printers?

It is specifically compatible with the ML5520, ML5521, ML5590, and ML5591 models. Please check your specific printer model before installation.

What is the ribbon length?

This ribbon measures 8mm in width and 1.80m in length.

Can I use this for multipart forms?

Yes, this ribbon is well-suited for multipart forms as impact printing technology is specifically designed to press ink through multiple layers.

How do I know when the ribbon needs replacing?

You will notice the print becoming increasingly faint or light gray, indicating the ink supply is depleted.

Troubleshooting

Faint or streaky printing

Ensure the ribbon is threaded correctly through the guides and not bunched or twisted within the cartridge.

Ribbon cartridge does not sit flush

Verify that all packaging material has been removed and that the mounting clips are properly aligned with the printer slots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the ribbon, first turn off the printer and open the front cover. Carefully remove the spent cartridge by unlatching the clips. Slide the new cartridge into place until you hear a click, then gently thread the ribbon through the guides. Ensure the ribbon is flat and not twisted before closing the cover.

  • OKI ML5520
  • OKI ML5521
  • OKI ML5590
  • OKI ML5591

To prolong the life of your printer, avoid touching the print head while the unit is hot. Keep the printer environment free of excessive dust to prevent the ribbon from pulling contaminants into the print mechanism.
