Frequently Asked Questions
How do I verify this is the right cartridge before I order?
Check the two codes on the label of the cartridge you are replacing: 1T02FV0US0 and TK-112. If both appear there, this single black cartridge at $31.48 is the match — the codes, not the shape of the box, are what identify it.
What is inside the package?
One individually sealed compatible black toner cartridge rated at 6,000 pages. It arrives in protective packaging and installs as-is; there is nothing to assemble and no second item to order alongside it.
Is changing it something I can do on my own?
Yes. Open the printer's front cover, slide the empty unit out, seat the fresh 1T02FV0US0 (TK-112) in its place, and close the cover. It takes a couple of minutes, needs no tools, and the printer resumes from where it stopped.
My first pages look pale after the swap. What should I do?
That usually means the toner settled during shipping. Remove the cartridge, tip it gently side to side several times to level the powder, reinstall it, and print a few normal pages. Density typically evens out within that short run.
How long does 6,000 pages last in a small office?
The figure comes from standard test pages at typical text coverage. For a desk printer handling letters, invoices and forms, one cartridge covers a long stretch of everyday printing; heavy graphics will use it up faster.
What protection backs this purchase?
The cartridge carries a 1-year warranty and free returns for a full year. Questions are answered by our support team Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
What does the TK-112 cost per page?
Divide the $31.48 price by the 6,000-page rating and you get roughly half a cent — about 0.52 cents per page at typical text coverage. Letters, invoices and forms are exactly the kind of pages that rating is built on, so a small office can budget its FS-720, FS-820 or FS-920 running costs around that figure with reasonable confidence. Dense graphics pages cost more per sheet, light memos less.
When should I order the next cartridge so the printer never waits?
Work backwards from your own pace. A 6,000-page rating lasts a desk printer a long stretch, so the practical trigger is the first sign of fading rather than a calendar date: once output starts to lighten and a gentle rock of the 1T02FV0US0 (TK-112) no longer restores it, place the order. That leaves the remaining toner in the machine to cover the few days while the replacement ships from the nearest warehouse.
Our FS-920 sometimes sits unused for weeks — does the cartridge suffer?
Toner is a dry powder, not a liquid ink, so an idle period does not dry it out or clog anything. The cartridge waits in the printer without degrading. When you come back to it, the first page or two may look slightly uneven if the powder has settled; printing a few normal pages, or removing the TK-112 and tipping it gently side to side, levels things again.
What do I do with the empty TK-112 when I take it out?
Seal it in the packaging the new cartridge came in so loose toner stays contained, and send it to a cartridge recycling collection instead of the regular trash — office-supply drop-offs and municipal programs commonly accept used toner cartridges. Keeping the empty in its box until the replacement has printed a few clean pages is also a good habit, in case you need it for a warranty conversation.
