Frequently Asked Questions

Reds look dull and faces print with a strange cast — is magenta the problem?

That is the classic signature of a fading magenta. Magenta carries reds, pinks and skin tones, so when it thins out those colors go muddy first while blues and text still look normal. Shaking the old unit gently from side to side may squeeze out a handful of cleaner pages, yet the color only comes back for good with a new TK-562M.

What code confirms I am ordering the magenta and not another color?

1T02HNBUS0, which is the TK-562M. In the TK-562 family the letter group is the tell: CUS0 is cyan, BUS0 is magenta and AUS0 is yellow. Line that code up with the one printed on the unit you pull out of your FS-C5300DN or FS-C5350DN and the colors cannot get mixed up.

How far does one of these magenta cartridges go?

It is rated at 10,000 pages at the standard 5% coverage, and it is a full-capacity unit. Real life depends on how color-heavy your printing is — a marketing office printing full-color flyers will draw it down far faster than an office where color is the occasional chart or logo.

I just fitted it and the color still looks uneven — what now?

Take the cartridge back out and check two things: that it clicked fully home in the magenta slot, and that the toner inside is level — rolling it gently from side to side before it goes back in usually evens things out. Then print a few test pages; a fresh cartridge sometimes needs a handful of pages for the color to come through at full strength.

Can I change just this one cartridge mid-job?

Yes. The magenta slot is independent, so when the printer flags it you can pause, swap in this 1T02HNBUS0, and carry on with the same job. The black, cyan and yellow cartridges are not disturbed and keep their remaining life.

What protection does this cartridge come with?

It is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns; the conditions in full are on our shipping & returns page. The cover is per cartridge, so a problem with this magenta is handled on its own at its $55.32 price point — nothing else has to go back with it.

Which offices will burn through this magenta fastest?

Color-heavy ones, by a wide margin. A marketing office printing full-color flyers all week draws the TK-562M down quickly, while an office where color means an occasional chart or logo can keep the same cartridge working for a very long stretch. Both are using a unit rated at 10,000 pages at 5 percent coverage — the rating is identical, but the calendars it produces could hardly be more different.

How can I check magenta health before an important print run?

Print a page carrying reds and skin tones you know well, and look at those areas specifically. Magenta announces its decline there first: reds go dull and faces take on a strange cast while blues and text still look normal. Catching that on one test sheet lets you fit the fresh 1T02HNBUS0 before the run, instead of discovering the fade halfway through it.

Is it worth holding a spare magenta on the shelf?

For any printer whose color output is seen by customers, yes. Magenta does not stop outright — it thins gradually — so without a spare, the choice is between shipping muddy color and waiting on a delivery. A sealed 1T02HNBUS0 stored flat in a cool, dry place waits without losing capacity, and the day the drift becomes visible the swap takes minutes.

How should the old magenta cartridge be disposed of?

Once the replacement has settled and a few test pages are printing evenly, seal the old TK-562M inside the packaging the new cartridge arrived in and send it out for recycling rather than into general waste. The bag keeps the remaining toner dust where it belongs during handling. Disposed of promptly, the empty never becomes the cartridge that lives on top of the printer for a year.
