Frequently Asked Questions

What arrives in the TK1142 four-pack?

Four identical TK1142 black cartridges, individually sealed. It is a supply-shelf quantity: enough to keep several multifunction devices fed, or one hard-working machine covered for a long planning cycle.

Can the four cartridges be spread across different machines?

Yes. The TK1142 fits the FS-1035 MFP, the FS-1135 MFP and the M2535dn, so the pack can be drawn down by whichever device runs empty first. There is no registration or pairing — each cartridge simply goes where it is needed.

How do we keep track of rotation on a shared supply shelf?

Date the boxes when they arrive and always pull the oldest first. In a multi-machine office it also helps to keep a simple tally on the cupboard door — one line per cartridge taken — so the person who fits the last one knows it is time to reorder.

Is a cartridge from a four-pack any different from a single?

No. Each TK1142 in this pack is the full-capacity cartridge, rated at 7,200 pages at 5% coverage, exactly as sold individually. The pack size changes your stock level, never the cartridge itself.

How long can sealed stock safely sit before use?

Stored flat in a cool, dry cupboard away from sunlight and heat sources, sealed cartridges keep well for long periods. The rotation habit described above — oldest first, dates on boxes — is all the management they need.

What cover applies to each of the four cartridges?

Every cartridge is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, assessed unit by unit. If one fails, it is replaced or returned on its own merits; the procedure is laid out on our shipping & returns page.

How far ahead does this four-pack let a department plan?

Four TK1142 cartridges at 7,200 rated pages each put 28,800 pages of cover on the shelf. For a shared multifunction device that works through a cartridge every couple of months, that is roughly a half-year between orders; a quieter machine stretches the same pack much further. Either way, toner drops off the monthly errand list and becomes a twice-a-year decision.

Two machines flag low toner in the same week. Which one gets the next cartridge?

The busier machine — the one other people's work queues behind. This pack is a shared pool for the FS-1035 MFP, FS-1135 MFP and M2535dn, with no cartridge tied to a particular device, so fit the next unit where the delay would hurt most and let the quieter machine take the following one; a low-toner warning normally arrives ahead of a hard stop, so it can wait its turn.

Why does the same TK1142 last months in one machine and weeks in another?

Volume and coverage, not the cartridge. A department machine copying dense handouts all day draws toner far faster than a desk unit printing light memos, even though both are using identical 7,200-page cartridges. When you review the tally on the cupboard door, judge each machine by its own counter readings rather than expecting the pack to drain evenly across the fleet.

How should the empties from a four-pack be handled?

Collect them rather than throwing them away one by one. Keep each spent cartridge in its replacement's box, stack the boxes in the supply cupboard, and send the batch to a toner-recycling or e-waste collection when the pack is finished. Batching keeps four loose empties from cluttering desks, and the boxed set makes the drop-off a single trip.
