Frequently Asked Questions

What should the purchase order line for this pack say?

Write the full code: TK3112, 10-pack, black, for the Kyocera-Mita FS-4100DN. A complete part number on the PO is the cheapest accuracy tool a purchasing desk has — it prevents look-alike codes from being quoted or shipped and makes the receiving check a ten-second job. This pack is priced at $196.88.

What should receiving check when the shipment arrives?

Count the boxes against the packing slip and look each one over for crushed corners or torn seals before signing off. Note any visible damage on the delivery record the same day; it makes any later claim straightforward instead of an argument about when it happened.

How should ten cartridges be stored for the long term?

Sealed, flat, and indoors at steady room temperature, away from windows, heaters and damp floors. Date each box on arrival and issue oldest first. Stored that way, the last cartridge of the ten performs like the first when it is finally opened.

How does warranty coverage work across a pack this size?

Unit by unit. Every cartridge carries its own 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so if the unit opened in month nine is faulty, that one cartridge is resolved alone — the other nine are untouched and the claim never holds up your stock.

Can the ten be distributed across departments as they are needed?

Yes, that is how most buyers use this pack. Keep the bulk in central stores and issue cartridges to departments against their requests; because each unit is sealed separately, partial issue never compromises the ones still on the shelf.

Who do we contact if something in the order needs attention?

Our support team is available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and orders ship from our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses. The complete delivery and returns terms live on our shipping and returns page.

What does bulk buying do to the cost of each page?

At $196.88 for ten cartridges rated at 15,500 pages apiece, the pack covers 155,000 pages and brings the TK3112 down to roughly 0.13 cents per page at standard coverage — the lowest running figure in this cartridge's range. For a facilities budget, that number converts straight into a forecast: pages expected this year, multiplied by 0.13 cents.

How can we work out how many months ten cartridges will cover?

Measure your own volume rather than guessing. Take the FS-4100DN's page counter now and again in a month; the difference, divided into the pack's 155,000 rated pages, gives the pack's lifespan in months for your workload. Busy sites might see a year; quieter ones considerably longer — either way the figure comes from your printer, not a brochure.

What storage conditions suit a stock that may sit for a year or more?

Stability matters more than anything: a dry indoor room at a steady, moderate temperature, with the sealed boxes kept flat and out of direct sunlight. Avoid garages and plant rooms where heat and cold swing sharply, and keep the stock off damp floors. Dated on arrival and issued oldest-first, the tenth TK3112 out of the cupboard performs like the first.

How should a site using this pack deal with its empties?

Give empties a single collection point — one labeled box in the print room that spent cartridges are returned to, each inside its replacement's packaging. When the collection box fills, it goes to an office-supply recycling drop-off in one movement. Ten cartridges a cycle produce a steady stream of empties, and a fixed routine stops them scattering across departments.
