Frequently Asked Questions

Will client documents look as crisp on the last page of a batch as on the first?

Yes. This cartridge holds its density across its working life, so a contract, a letter or a set of accounts printed today matches the same document printed weeks later. That consistency is why it stays popular in offices where paperwork goes out to clients. One cartridge costs $65.42.

A page came out faint — what should I check before assuming the cartridge is at fault?

Three quick things: take the cartridge out and rock it gently to redistribute the toner, confirm the paper is dry and loaded correctly, and print a test page or two. Faint output that survives those checks is covered by the 1-year warranty, with free returns over the same 1-year period.

We print dense text all day — how far does the rating really go?

The rating is 20,000 pages at standard test coverage. Dense documents — statements, terms and conditions, closely typed reports — use toner faster than a light memo, so plan on somewhat less in practice. Even so, for a text-heavy office a single cartridge remains a long-lasting supply.

How do I confirm this is the cartridge my printer takes?

Check the number on the cartridge you are replacing: it should read 1T02BR0US0. The printers it serves are the FS-1800, FS-1800N, FS-1900, FS-1900N, FS-3800 and FS-3800N. Matching the part number is the reliable test — the model badge alone can mislead.

This is a single cartridge — what does that mean for reordering?

It means you are buying exactly one unit, with no spare in the box. Offices that cannot afford downtime often order the next one when the low-toner warning appears, since shipping is quick; offices with lighter use simply reorder when this one is fitted. Either way, the number to quote is the one in the previous answer.

How is it delivered, and who do I call with a question?

Orders go out from warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and delivery and return arrangements are described on our shipping and returns page. Support answers Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

What is the toner cost of one client document from this cartridge?

Divide $65.42 by the 20,000-page rating and a page carries roughly 0.33 cents of 1T02BR0US0 toner. A ten-page set of accounts therefore holds about three cents of toner — a useful perspective for an office that sends polished documents out all day: the cartridge's cost is spread so thinly across client work that it rarely deserves a second thought.

Do toner-saving or draft settings change how far the cartridge goes?

Yes, in your favor. The 20,000-page rating assumes standard coverage at normal density; printing internal drafts at a lighter setting lays down less toner per page, so the same cartridge covers more sheets. The sensible pattern is to reserve full density for documents that leave the building and let drafts run light, keeping client-facing output exactly as crisp while the rating stretches.

Why do pages sometimes look duller in a humid spell even with plenty of toner left?

Paper absorbs moisture from the air, and toner does not bond to a damp sheet as cleanly as to a dry one, which can soften the look of a page. Storing the paper supply in its wrapping, away from outside walls, keeps sheets dry; if a document run looks dull during wet weather, fresh paper from a sealed ream is the first fix to try.

How should a professional office dispose of the finished cartridge?

Return it to the packaging the replacement came in and place it with the office's other collected recyclables rather than in general waste. Sealed, a spent 1T02BR0US0 sheds no dust on its way out and stays clearly identifiable as a used unit. Most offices simply add it to the same collection box they use for other spent machine supplies.
