Frequently Asked Questions

How should a supply closet handle a 4 pack so cartridges rotate properly?

Keep the four cartons together, note the arrival date, and always issue the oldest first. A practical trigger: when the next-to-last cartridge leaves the shelf, reorder. That rhythm keeps a CS305 stocked without ever over-buying, and this 4 pack is $152.77.

What confirms these cartridges belong to our CS305?

The part number. The cartridges are 1T02K30US0, the type also known as TK-477 — the same number printed on the label of the cartridge your machine is using now and shown in its consumables status.

Our closet also serves a CS255. Does one stock item cover both machines?

It does. The CS255 and the CS305 named on this listing share the same black cartridge, so a single shelf item supports both models and simplifies the stock count.

How long can the fourth cartridge sit before it is used?

Sealed toner keeps well for an extended period if the carton stays flat, dry and out of heat and sunlight. In a working office the case turns over steadily, so the last cartridge is installed long before age becomes a factor.

What output should we plan on from each cartridge?

Each is rated at 15,000 pages under standard coverage conditions. If your CS305 spends its days on dense forms or graphics, plan on a shorter interval between changes; text-led workloads track the rating closely.

What if a cartridge from the case proves defective, and where does the case ship from?

Every unit carries a 1-year warranty with free returns for a year — a bad cartridge is handled on its own, with support available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST. Cases ship from the nearest of our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA; see the shipping and returns page for timing.

What does the case work out to per page?

The case is $152.77 for four cartridges rated at 15,000 pages each — 60,000 pages of capacity — which divides to roughly 0.25 cents per page at standard coverage. That is the arithmetic that makes the 4 pack the economical choice for a CS305 in daily service: the per-page toner cost drops as the pack size grows, while the cartridge itself, the 1T02K30US0, stays exactly the same unit you would buy singly.

When a big job is running and toner gives out, how fast is the changeover from this case?

Minutes. Pause the run, open the cover, pull the spent cartridge, seat the next 1T02K30US0 from the case, close up and resume — no tools and no service visit. Keeping the case in the same room as the CS305 matters here: the swap stays a two-minute interruption instead of a trip to a distant storeroom. The job picks up where it stopped once the cover closes.

Two machines draw from this case. How do we know which cartridge went where?

You do not need to separate them — every unit is the same 1T02K30US0 for both the CS305 and the CS255 — but a mark helps the records. Write the install date and machine name on each carton as it is issued. That small habit shows which device consumes faster, supports any warranty conversation later, and makes the shelf count honest: cartons left, times 15,000 pages, is your remaining capacity at a glance.

How should empties be handled when they come out of two different machines?

Give them one collection point. Keep a single box near the supply shelf, bag each spent cartridge as it comes out — whichever machine it served — and send the accumulated batch to a recycling program together. Mixing the empties is harmless because they are the same cartridge. One collection point also doubles as a consumption record: the count of empties plus the count of sealed cartons always adds up to the case you bought.
