Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 15,500-page yield per cartridge or for this whole 3-pack?

Per cartridge. Each of the three TK3112 units in this pack is individually rated at 15,500 pages on standard test coverage, so the rating describes every single cartridge you pull from the box, not a figure shared across the pack.

How do I figure out how long three cartridges will cover my department?

Read the page counter on your FS-4100DN, note it again a month later, and you have your real monthly volume. Divide that into the per-cartridge rating and you get a realistic months-per-cartridge estimate for your own workload — far more useful than any generic figure.

Should the three cartridges be used in a particular order?

Oldest first. A simple habit helps: write the month and year on each box when the pack arrives, then always take the earliest-dated box. That quiet rotation keeps stock moving and means no cartridge sits forgotten at the back of the cupboard.

What does this 3-pack cost, and what am I getting for it?

The pack is $72.00 and contains three separately sealed TK3112 black cartridges for the FS-4100DN, each backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns. You are buying a quarter's worth of planned stock in a single order instead of three separate ones.

If the middle cartridge of the three misbehaves, what happens to the others?

Nothing changes for them. Warranty and returns are handled unit by unit, so a faulty cartridge is resolved on its own while the remaining stock stays exactly where it is — in your cupboard, ready to use.

Where will my order ship from?

From the closest of our four warehouses — IL, PA, GA or CA — which keeps the trip short. Full delivery timing and the returns procedure are set out on our shipping and returns page, and our team answers questions Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

How should the three cartridges be stored between changes?

Sealed, flat and indoors at steady room temperature — a cupboard shelf away from windows, heaters and damp is ideal. Toner is a dry powder and keeps well while the packaging stays intact, so a TK3112 that waits months for its turn performs like a fresh one. Storing the boxes upright in date order also makes the oldest-first habit automatic.

What should I check when the 3-pack first arrives?

Count three individually sealed cartridges and read the code on each box: every unit should say TK3112. Check the seals are unbroken and the boxes undamaged before the pack goes into storage. Catching a picking error or transit damage on delivery day takes a minute; discovering it on the day the printer runs dry is a much worse time.

A second FS-4100DN has joined the office — can this pack feed both?

Yes. The pack is three separate cartridges of one specification, not a unit tied to a single machine, so either printer can draw from it. With two machines sharing, consumption roughly doubles, so it is worth noting the page counters on both and fitting from the same dated stock — the reorder point simply arrives sooner than it did with one printer.

How do the empty cartridges from this pack get disposed of?

Each empty goes back into the bag and box its replacement came in, which seals in any remaining toner dust. Collect the boxed empties and take them to an office-supply or electronics recycling point rather than putting them in general waste. Because the three cartridges are used one at a time, the empties accumulate slowly and one drop-off trip usually clears them.

About This 3-Pack

This pack brings together three compatible Kyocera-Mita TK3112 black toner cartridges for the FS-4100DN at $72.00. It fits the small department that plans a quarter at a time: order once, date the boxes, rotate oldest-first, and let the page counter — not guesswork — tell you when the next order is due. Every cartridge is rated at 15,500 pages and covered for a full year.
