Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly arrives when I order the 2-pack?

Two TK132 black cartridges, each sealed in its own packaging inside the one order, for $62.44. They are identical units: one goes into the printer now, and the other waits on the shelf as your spare. Nothing about the pair is linked or paired electronically — they are simply two of the same cartridge.

How should the spare be kept while the first cartridge is still working?

Leave it sealed in its bag and box, lying flat in a cool, dry spot out of direct sunlight. A supply shelf or a desk drawer is ideal. Kept that way, a sealed TK132 waits patiently for months without the toner settling into a problem, and it is ready the moment the installed cartridge gives out.

Can one cartridge from this pack go in one model and the second in a different one?

Yes. The FS-1028mfp, the FS-1128mfp and the FS-1300D all run on the same TK132 cartridge, so a two-machine office can put one unit in each printer, or hold both for a single machine. The pack does not care how you divide it.

The printer is warning about low toner — should I swap in the spare right away?

Not yet. The low-toner warning appears early, while there is still usable toner left. Keep printing until pages genuinely start to fade, then swap. That is exactly what the spare is for: because it is already in the building, the change happens the same day instead of after a delivery wait.

If the first cartridge from the pack fails early, is the second one still covered?

Coverage runs per cartridge, not per order. Each TK132 carries its own 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so a fault in the first unit is handled on its own and the sealed spare keeps its full protection. Support is available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST if you need help with a claim.

When is the right moment to order my next pack?

The clean rule: the day the spare goes into the printer, place the next order. That keeps one cartridge working and one on the way, with no gap. Orders ship from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and delivery and return details are on our shipping and returns page.

What is worth checking when the 2-pack arrives?

Open the outer packaging and confirm you have two TK132 cartridges, each in its own sealed wrapping, with the TK132 code on the boxes and no crush damage to either unit. It takes a minute, and it is far easier to raise a problem on delivery day than when the second cartridge comes out of the cupboard months later.

How far does the pair realistically stretch in a small office?

Together the two cartridges are rated at 15,000 standard pages — 7,500 each. A small office printing letters, invoices and forms at ordinary coverage will get close to that; month-end statement runs or graphics-heavy pages pull the total down. Judge it by your own pace: if one cartridge lasts about three months, the pair is roughly half a year of cover.

The spare has been on the shelf for months — anything to do before it goes in?

Rock it gently from side to side a few times to loosen toner that has settled during storage, then fit it exactly like the first: cover open, spent unit out, spare in until it seats. The first page or two may look slightly light while the powder distributes; after that, output should be at full density.

How should we deal with the two empty cartridges the pair leaves behind?

As each TK132 is swapped out, put the empty back into its box and keep the two boxed empties together. Once both are spent, take them to a toner recycling point or an office-supply take-back in one trip. Boxing them as you go keeps loose powder contained and makes it obvious when the cupboard is down to zero.
