Frequently Asked Questions

Why would an office buy the TK717 four at a time?

This pack holds four identical TK717 black cartridges, and it suits copy rooms and facilities buyers who stock supplies on a planned cycle rather than ordering against emergencies. With four full cartridges racked, a high-volume machine can run through several changeovers before anyone needs to raise another order.

Is each cartridge in the pack the full-size version?

Yes. Every unit is a complete TK717 rated at 34,000 pages at the standard 5% coverage — no reduced fills and no starter cartridges anywhere in the box. The fourth cartridge performs exactly like the first when its turn comes.

What is the sensible way to work through the four?

Use them in the order they arrived: oldest stock first. A small date note on each box end makes the rotation obvious to whoever restocks the shelf. Fitting is one cartridge at a time — open the machine, exchange the spent unit for the next in line, and the remaining stock stays sealed.

Will the last cartridge still print well after sitting for many months?

Kept sealed, flat and stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources, toner cartridges hold up well over a long storage period. Before fitting one that has waited a while, rock it gently side to side to loosen the contents, and the first pages should come out even and dark.

Does this pack serve more than one machine?

It does. The TK717 fits the KM-3050, its siblings the KM-4050 and KM-5050, and the TASKalfa 420i and TASKalfa 520i — so one shelf stock can feed a mixed fleet, issuing a cartridge to whichever machine runs low first.

If one cartridge in the pack turns out faulty, what happens?

Each unit is covered on its own: the pack is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, and a problem with one cartridge does not affect the standing of the other three. Contact us Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST and we will resolve the faulty unit.

How much printing does a four-pack actually hold?

Four cartridges at 34,000 pages each add up to 136,000 pages from a single order, and at $380.74 for the pack the cost works out to roughly twenty-eight-hundredths of a cent per page. For a copy room or facilities buyer stocking on a planned cycle, that is several changeovers bought at once — the ordering becomes a routine chore instead of a recurring urgency, and the shelf always holds the next cartridge.

What should receiving check when the four-pack lands?

Count the four sealed units against the packing slip before the outer carton is discarded, and note any crushed or torn packaging on the delivery record the same day. A quick count at the dock is far easier than reconciling a supply cabinet months later. Checking the code on one box — TK717, black — confirms the shipment is the item ordered and not a look-alike cartridge for a different machine.

When is the right moment to reorder after opening this pack?

When the last sealed TK717 goes into a machine. At that point the cupboard is empty even though the printer is full, and ordering the next pack then keeps the reserve unbroken. A full 34,000-page cartridge running in the machine leaves comfortable time for a standard delivery to arrive, so there is no rush and no risk of the printer standing idle while a shipment is in transit.

What happens to the spent cartridges from this pack?

Collect them in one place and send them through your local recycling route for toner cartridges rather than into general waste. Four empties accumulate faster than one, so a labeled box in the supply room, cleared on a schedule, keeps the stockroom tidy. A unit that turns out faulty is the exception: keep it aside with its box, because each cartridge is covered on its own by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, and a problem with one does not affect the standing of the other three.
