Frequently Asked Questions

What does "5 Color Set" actually mean here?

Five cartridges in one box, spanning the family's four codes: TK552K black, TK552C cyan, TK552M magenta and TK552Y yellow. Because five cartridges cover four codes, one code appears twice — the exact split is printed on the cartridge labels in the box, so check them on arrival and plan around what is actually there rather than assuming an even spread.

How are the cartridges rated?

By cartridge, as always in this family: the TK552K black is rated at 7,000 pages and each color cartridge — cyan, magenta, yellow — at 6,000 pages, at standard coverage. Plan your stock by those per-cartridge figures, whichever code turns out to be doubled up.

Do the five have to be fitted together?

No. Treat the box as a small shelf stock, not a single installation. Fit whichever cartridge the printer is calling for, and leave the rest sealed. A slot only ever needs its own cartridge changed, when its own turn comes.

How do I store a set I have only partly used?

Keep the unused cartridges sealed in their packaging inside the box, flat, in a dry place out of sunlight and away from heat. Sealed toner waits patiently, so a set opened this month is still fine to draw on months from now.

How will I know when it is time to order again?

Count what is left in the box. When you fit the last cartridge of any one code, that code is your reorder signal — the printer still has a working cartridge installed, which gives you a comfortable window to restock.

What cover applies to the cartridges in this set?

Every cartridge is covered individually by a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns, per our shipping & returns policy. One misbehaving unit is dealt with on its own; the cover on the others is unaffected.

The box has arrived — what should I check before it goes on the shelf?

Read the cartridge labels and write down how many of each code you actually received: TK552K, TK552C, TK552M and TK552Y, with one of those codes doubled. That short note becomes your stock record for the whole set. Because the split is decided by the labels rather than by assumption, five minutes at delivery saves you from planning around a cartridge that was never in the box.

Which code would I want to be the doubled one for my office?

The one your page mix burns through fastest. A text-heavy office leans hardest on the black TK552K and its 7,000-page rating, while a shop printing color all day may drain one of the 6,000-page colors sooner. You cannot choose the split after the fact, but knowing which code you would have picked tells you which slot to watch first as the set is drawn down.

We run two FS-C5200 printers — can one set feed both?

Yes. Treat the box as shared shelf stock for the two machines rather than assigning it to one of them. Whichever printer calls for a given code first takes that cartridge, and the rest stay sealed for the next call from either machine. The only discipline required is keeping the count honest, so both printers are never promised the same last cartridge of a code.

How do I keep track of what is left without opening the box every time?

Return each spent cartridge to the box as it comes out of the printer. The empties then mark exactly what has been used, and the sealed units still in their packaging are your remaining stock at a glance. It takes seconds per swap and means the reorder conversation starts from a count you can see, not from someone's memory of what was fitted last month.
