Frequently Asked Questions
Which part number should our purchase order show?
Use the full manufacturer part number 1T02G10US0, and adding the short form TK-712 alongside it makes the line unambiguous for both the supplier and your own receiving desk. That pair of codes identifies this exact black cartridge and nothing else, so there is no room for a wrong-item shipment.
Are all five cartridges in the pack identical?
Yes — five individually sealed units of the same compatible black cartridge, each rated at 40,000 pages and each interchangeable with the others. Any unit can go into any FS-9130DN in the building; there is no matched set, sequence or pairing to keep track of.
What should receiving check when the shipment lands?
Count the sealed units against the packing slip before the outer carton is discarded, and note any crushed or torn packaging on the delivery record the same day. A quick count at the dock is far easier than reconciling a supply cabinet months later.
How do we keep track of five cartridges across a fleet?
Two habits are enough: a simple sign-out line on the supply-room sheet (date, printer, initials) and first-in, first-out rotation, with the delivery month written on each box. That combination shows at a glance how many units remain and roughly how fast each machine is consuming them.
What is a sensible reorder point for a pack this size?
When the second-to-last box is opened. At that moment one full cartridge is in reserve plus whatever is left in the machines, which is ample cover for a normal replenishment cycle — reorder then and the shelf never actually empties.
If one unit fails several months after delivery, is it still covered?
Yes. Coverage runs per cartridge, not per shipment: each unit carries its own 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns protection from purchase, so a faulty fifth cartridge is remedied on its own. Our support team (Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST) handles the claim for that unit only.
How far does a five-pack stretch a facilities budget?
Five cartridges at 40,000 pages each is a deep reserve, and the point of buying it is rhythm: instead of raising a toner order every few weeks, the supply room places one planned order and then works through the stock for months. The pack is priced at $335.34, and standardizing the whole fleet on the single 1T02G10US0 and TK-712 code also simplifies purchasing — one line on the order, one code on the shelf, no sorting through look-alike boxes at changeover time.
What happens to unopened cartridges if a printer is retired mid-year?
Sealed units you no longer need are not money stranded on a shelf. Every cartridge in the pack carries its own 1-year free returns cover, so surplus from a retired FS-9130DN can be sent back under the same terms as any other return. The practical step is to act while the cover is still live and to keep the units sealed, since an opened cartridge is a different matter from a sealed one still in its box.
Do heavy documents change the 40,000-page figure?
The rating assumes standard coverage, so an office printing mostly dense reports and full-page forms will see a shorter run from each TK-712 than an office printing plain memos. That is not a fault in the cartridge; it is how the rating is defined. The page counter tells the true story: compare the reading at fitting time with the reading when the cartridge runs dry, and the fleet's real consumption rate becomes visible within a single changeover cycle.
How should spent cartridges from a five-pack be handled?
Collect them in one place and send them through your local recycling route for toner cartridges rather than into general waste. Five empties accumulate faster than one, so a small routine — a labeled box in the supply room, cleared on a schedule — keeps the stockroom tidy. A unit that failed early is the exception: keep it aside with its box, because it is covered individually by the 1-year warranty and is remedied on its own.
