Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know this set matches the cartridges my printer uses?

Check the code on the cartridge you are pulling out. This set brings one of each of the four codes in the TK592 series: TK592K for the black slot, TK592C for cyan, TK592M for magenta and TK592Y for yellow. If the spent cartridge in your machine carries one of those four codes, its replacement is in this box.

One set for five different machines — how does that work?

The same four codes serve the whole group of printers this family fits, including the FS-C2026MFP, the FS-C2126MFP, FS-C2526MFP and FS-C2626MFP MFPs and the FS-C5250DN. An office running more than one of them keeps a single shelf of spares instead of a different cartridge line for every desk.

Why does the black carry a higher page rating than the colors?

The TK592K black is rated at 7,000 pages and each color at 5,000 pages, all at standard coverage. Text makes up the bulk of what these machines print, so the black cartridge is built to run longer between changes; the three colors are rated for the lighter share of the workload they actually see.

Do all four cartridges have to be fitted together?

No. Change only the slot the printer is reporting as empty and leave the other three sealed in the box. A set is a stocking decision, not an instruction to retire cartridges that still hold toner — each unit goes in when its own turn comes.

How should the spares be kept until they are needed?

Flat, in their sealed packaging, in a dry cupboard away from direct sun and heat. Stored that way, the unopened cartridges from a set wait patiently while the fitted ones work through their ratings, and they come out ready to print.

What happens if one cartridge in the set fails early?

Each cartridge is covered on its own: a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns applies per unit — see our shipping & returns page for the details. A problem with one color never means sending the whole set back; only the faulty cartridge is returned, free of charge.

What should we check the moment this set arrives?

Count and codes. The box should hold four cartridges, and the codes on the cartons — TK592K, TK592C, TK592M and TK592Y — should match the labels on the cartridges already in your machine. Doing that check on arrival, while the set is still sealed, is far easier than discovering a mismatch weeks later at the moment a station runs dry. Once checked, the set can go on the shelf with confidence.

How do we manage one set feeding several machines?

Keep a simple fitting log with the box: date, machine, color. Across a small fleet — an FS-C2026MFP on one desk, an FS-C5250DN on another — the log shows which machine received which cartridge and when, so a fading machine's history is never a guessing game. It also keeps the stock honest: when the log shows the third cartridge fitted, the shelf is down to one and reorder time is near.

What shortens the color cartridges' 5,000-page ratings in practice?

Coverage above the standard test basis. The TK592C, TK592M and TK592Y ratings assume light, document-style color use; full-page graphics, photographs and dense colored backgrounds lay down far more toner per page. The black's 7,000-page rating rests on text-led work for the same reason. Offices whose color output is mostly logos and charts will land close to the figures; those printing brochures all day should stock for a faster turnover.

As the cartridges empty one by one, what do we do with them?

Gather the empties in one bagged collection point and send them for recycling together, rather than binning each as it comes out. Keep any cartridge that failed early separate from the true empties — under this set's terms a faulty unit is returned on its own, free of charge, under its per-cartridge 1-year warranty, and it should not disappear into the recycling batch before that is arranged.

About This TK592 Four-Color Set

Priced at $106.85, this is the single-box toner round for the TK592 printers: TK592K black rated at 7,000 pages alongside TK592C cyan, TK592M magenta and TK592Y yellow at 5,000 pages each. It fits offices where one shared machine — or a small fleet of the five models above — has worn its colors down at roughly the same pace and one delivery should put every slot right again, each cartridge fitted only as its slot asks for it. Part of our compatible Kyocera-Mita range, it ships from our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses, with support Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
