CS-3500I

The CS-3500I is a monochrome multifunction copier sold under Copystar, Kyocera's brand in the United States, and it feeds on a single black cartridge: TK-6307, part number 1T02LH0US0. This page stocks that cartridge as a single, a three pack, a standard five pack and a premium five pack. One naming note matters for mixed fleets: this platform also wears the Kyocera badge as the TASKalfa line, and the cartridge code does not change with the badge — the listings under both badges carry the same TK-6307 stocked here, so one shelf serves the whole platform. The code on your outgoing cartridge is still the thing to match when you order.

A departmental monochrome machine consumes toner the way a department consumes paper: steadily, predictably, and faster than anyone expects in a busy month. The CS-3500I typically anchors a workgroup's copying and printing, so its toner tends to be bought on a rhythm rather than in a panic. That is the logic of the ladder below — singles for a quiet month or a first confirmation order, three packs for a normal reorder cycle, five packs for the supply cabinet of an office that would rather count cartridges twice a year than twice a month.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Every listing here is the same TK-6307 cartridge, so the decision is purely about stock level. Buy the single if the machine is new to you or lightly used, and you want to confirm the cartridge in hand before holding more. The three pack suits a workgroup that reorders on a steady cycle and keeps one spare ahead of the installed cartridge. The five pack is for departments that treat toner like paper — bought in quantity, stored centrally, forgotten until the cabinet runs low — and the premium five pack holds that same quantity in the premium-quality grade of the line. All four options are compatible cartridges covered by a one-year warranty and one-year returns.

Chip, toner and everyday use

On a machine that works this steadily, habits around the spare shelf matter as much as the swap itself. Rotate stock so the oldest cartridge goes in first, keep boxes sealed until their turn, and store them flat in a cool cabinet away from the heat the copier itself gives off. The swap is quick: the machine recognizes the new cartridge once it is seated, and a gentle side-to-side rock beforehand keeps the first pages dense and even. When output fades uniformly it is the cartridge asking to be changed, not the machine failing — resist running a spent cartridge for weeks, since weak density on every page is harder on morale than the five minutes a change takes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Kyocera-badged TASKalfa version of this copier take the same cartridge?

Yes. The code does not change with the badge: the Kyocera-badged TASKalfa versions of this platform are listed with the same TK-6307 that this page stocks for Copystar-badged machines like this one. Match the code printed on the cartridge you remove and you have the right cartridge under either badge.

How do the standard and premium five packs differ?

Both packs contain five TK-6307 cartridges that fit the same copier. The premium pack is the premium-quality grade of the cartridge line and the standard pack is the regular grade — the count, the fit and the cartridge code are the same.

Does the CS-4500I take the same cartridge as the CS-3500I?

Yes. The CS-4500I belongs to the same TK-6307 family listed below, along with the other Copystar I-series models and their TASKalfa-badged counterparts, so one cartridge shelf can serve several of these machines.
