BizHub c227
The BizHub c227 is Konica Minolta's current-generation office color MFP — lowercase c, modern platform, running the TN-221 toner family (TN-221K black, TN-221C/M/Y colors). Our research verified TN-221 — not the similar TN-323 — for the c227/c287 line. Current-generation color MFPs print the most pages of all, so compatible TN-221 toner is where the savings live. Our TN-221K/C/M/Y cartridges fit the c227.

Frequently Asked Questions
The BizHub c227 is slower than the c287 - does it use less toner?
No - both models use the same TN-221K/C/M/Y cartridge set, and toner consumption depends on what you print, not engine speed. The c227 simply prints fewer pages per minute, so its cartridges last longer in calendar time at the same monthly volume.
Can I mix a compatible TN-221K with OEM TN-221 color cartridges in the c227?
Yes, the printer treats each color independently, so mixing brands across colors works. Just make sure every cartridge carries the TN-221 code - a TN-321 or similar lookalike will not fit.
My c227 keeps asking for a TN-221 cartridge I just replaced - how do I fix the false low reading?
This is usually a chip contact issue. Power off, pull the cartridge out, wipe the chip contacts gently with a dry cloth, reseat firmly, and power back on. If it still misreads, the cartridge itself is likely faulty.
