CS-250CI
The CS-250CI is a color multifunction copier from Copystar, the name Kyocera uses in the United States; the same machine wears a Kyocera badge as the TASKalfa 250CI. Its color toner family is TK-867, and the cartridges stocked on this page are two of the four colors: the cyan TK-867C, part number 1T02JZCUS0, and the magenta TK-867M, part number 1T02JZBUS0. If your copier is calling for cyan or magenta, this is the page — match the code on the cartridge you pull out before you order.
Color copiers rarely empty all four toners together. Black carries the everyday document load while cyan and magenta drain slowly through charts, letterheads and presentation pages, which is why this shelf holds the two color cartridges on their own. The pair listed here also serves the CS-300CI and the TASKalfa-badged versions of the same platform, so an office running these machines under different badges still orders from one short list.

Which cartridge should you buy?
There is no bundle decision on this page: each color is a single cartridge, and you buy the one the machine is asking for. Read the color named on the copier's display rather than guessing from how the prints look — a page that comes out too green may be missing magenta, not cyan. If both colors are showing low at the same time, ordering the pair together saves a second delivery and a second toner change a few days apart. Keep in mind the two part numbers differ by a single letter in the middle — CUS0 for cyan, BUS0 for magenta — so a slow read of the label is worth more than a fast guess. Both cartridges are compatible cartridges for the CS-250CI and are covered by a one-year warranty and one-year returns.
Chip, toner and everyday use
Each color cartridge is coded for its own slot, so a cyan unit will not seat in the magenta position — if a new cartridge refuses to slide in, check the letter at the end of its code before applying any pressure. Keep the protective cover on a spare until the moment it goes in, and store color cartridges upright, out of sunlight, so the toner stays evenly distributed. When output of one color starts to streak, remove that cartridge and rock it gently end to end a few times; this often evens out the remaining toner and restores clean pages until the replacement arrives.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this page list only cyan and magenta for a four-color copier?
Those are the two TK-867 cartridges stocked on this page. The black and yellow cartridges for the CS-250CI are not listed here, so if the machine is calling for black or yellow, this page does not carry the cartridge you need.
Does the TK-867C also fit the CS-300CI?
Yes. The CS-300CI runs on the same TK-867 color family, and the cyan and magenta cartridges listed here serve both Copystar models as well as the TASKalfa-badged machines in the list below.
The cartridge I removed is stamped 1T02JZBUS0 — which one do I order?
That part number is the magenta. Order the TK-867M, which is the same cartridge under its family name. The cyan's part number ends in CUS0 instead of BUS0.
Can I swap the cyan and magenta cartridges with each other?
No. The two cartridges look alike but each is built and coded for its own color position in the machine. TK-867C belongs in the cyan slot and TK-867M in the magenta slot; forcing the wrong one risks a jammed cartridge and a mess of mixed toner.
