Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 15,000-page rating per cartridge or for the whole 3 pack?

Per cartridge. Each of the three TK352 units in this box is independently rated at 15,000 standard pages, so your department's mileage depends on how many you work through, not on some shared pool. The 3 pack is priced at $61.99.

How do I keep three cartridges rotating in the right order?

Write the month on each box when the pack arrives and always pull the oldest one first. First in, first out keeps any single cartridge from sitting in the cabinet for years, and the date on the box doubles as a quick record of when each unit went into service.

How can I estimate how long this pack will last our department?

Check the machine's page counter now and again in a month. That tells you your real monthly volume; divide the counter trend by one cartridge's 15,000-page rating and you have a fair idea of how many months each TK352 covers at your pace — heavy form and report printing will shorten it, plain correspondence stretches it.

One cartridge from the middle of the pack prints badly. What happens?

That unit is dealt with by itself. Every cartridge is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns run alongside it, so a single weak unit never means sending back the whole 3 pack. Call us Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST and we will sort out the replacement.

Which machines does the TK352 feed?

It is the black cartridge for the FS-3040MFP line, including the FS-3140MFP, FS-3540MFP and FS-3640MFP. If your department runs more than one of those models, this one pack keeps a single stock item for all of them.

How is the 3 pack delivered?

Stock sits in IL, PA, GA and CA, and your order ships from the closest of those warehouses. The details on timing and on sending anything back are on our shipping and returns page.

What does the 3 pack cost per cartridge, and per page?

At $61.99 for three cartridges, each TK352 works out to about $20.66. Across the pack's 45,000 rated pages — three cartridges at 15,000 pages each — that is roughly 0.14 cents per page at standard coverage. For a department budget, it is a tidy figure to carry: one order, a known per-page rate, and enough depth that toner stops appearing as a surprise expense partway through the quarter.

What conditions do the two waiting cartridges need while the first is in service?

Very little beyond common sense: keep them sealed in their boxes, flat, in a cool dry cabinet away from windows, radiators and damp floors. Heat and sunlight are the enemies of anything stored long-term, and a cartridge that sits in a hot storeroom ages faster than one in a steady indoor climate. Toner is a dry powder and does not spoil quickly, so a stable shelf is genuinely all the care the spares require.

What should the department do with the empty cartridges as they come out?

Collect them rather than scattering disposal across the office. Slipping each spent TK352 back into its box and keeping the empties together makes a single recycling or disposal drop easy when the third one comes out. The one unit to keep separate is any cartridge that fails early instead of emptying normally — hold that one aside and call us, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, since every cartridge carries its own 1-year warranty.

Our department prints in bursts — month-end reports especially. Does a 3 pack suit that pattern?

It suits it well, because burst printing is a stock problem more than a speed problem. A heavy month-end run can drain a cartridge that would otherwise last weeks, and with two sealed spares behind the installed unit, the burst simply becomes a swap rather than a stalled deadline. After an unusually heavy stretch, a quick look at the shelf tells you whether the rhythm has shifted enough to bring the next order forward.
