Frequently Asked Questions

Which cartridge is this, exactly?

This is a single black TK1152 toner cartridge, the standard replacement for the M2635dw. If the empty cartridge you pulled out of the machine is marked TK1152, this is the one that goes back in its place — one cartridge, in black only, ready to install straight out of the box.

How many pages will one TK1152 print?

The TK1152 is rated at 3,000 pages per cartridge. That figure comes from standard test pages with light, even coverage, so a month of dense contracts or graphics-heavy handouts will land lower, while plain text memos can run close to the rating. Treat 3,000 as the planning number, not a promise for every page style.

How long does the swap itself take?

Only a few minutes. Open the front cover, slide the old cartridge out, and unpack the new TK1152. Rock it gently from side to side a few times to loosen the toner inside, pull the protective seal if one is fitted, then slide it in until it seats and close the cover. No tools, no settings to change.

My text is coming out gray before the cartridge feels empty. What helps?

Fading late in a cartridge's life usually means the remaining toner has settled unevenly. Remove the cartridge, rock it side to side five or six times, and put it back — that redistributes the toner and often restores even black for the pages that are left. If output is still streaked after reseating, the cartridge is likely at the end of its toner and due for replacement.

How should the cartridge be kept before I install it?

Leave it sealed in its bag, flat, in a cool dry cupboard away from direct sunlight and radiators. Kept that way, a TK1152 stays ready for many months, so buying ahead of the low-toner warning is sensible. Avoid garages and damp store rooms, where heat and moisture swings are hardest on toner.

What if the cartridge arrives damaged or prints badly from day one?

Contact us promptly and we will put it right. This cartridge carries a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, and our support team is available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST. Keep the cartridge and its packaging until the issue is resolved, as photos of any damage or a sample print page help us sort things out quickly.

Should I throw the old cartridge away the moment the new one is fitted?

Not immediately. Keep the spent TK1152 in its box until the replacement has printed cleanly for a few days. If output still looks gray with a fresh cartridge seated, having the old unit on hand helps show whether the problem followed the cartridge or stayed with the printer — and if the new unit itself is at fault, its packaging is exactly what you want kept for the return.

How can I time the next cartridge so the warning never catches me out?

Note the date and the M2635dw's page counter when this TK1152 goes in. A single-printer office quickly learns its own rhythm — if the last cartridge lasted four months, a diary note at month three beats reacting to the warning light. Ordering while the current cartridge is still printing well turns a deadline problem into a parcel that simply arrives in good time.

What should I check when this single cartridge arrives?

That the bag is sealed, the packaging is undamaged, and the cartridge is marked TK1152 — the same code as the unit coming out of your M2635dw. Photograph any transit damage before you fit the cartridge rather than after; as the warranty process notes, a photo of the damage or a sample page makes sorting a problem unit considerably faster if it prints badly from day one.

How should a spent TK1152 be disposed of?

Once the replacement has proven itself, the empty goes to a toner-recycling collection or an office e-waste point rather than into general trash. Keeping it boxed until then does double duty: the cartridge stays clean and contained, and the empty box by the printer is a plain signal that the next order needs placing if you have not already timed one.
