Frequently Asked Questions

Why buy three cartridges at once instead of ordering one at a time?

Because printers never run dry at a convenient moment. This three-pack keeps a working rhythm: one cartridge in the machine and two sealed on the shelf, so a low-toner warning becomes a two-minute swap instead of an emergency order. At $131.85 for the set, it is the stocking level most single-printer offices settle on.

Is the 20,000-page yield for the whole pack, or for each cartridge?

Each one. This pack holds three separate TK-362 cartridges (code 1T02J20US0), and every individual unit carries the same 20,000-page rating at 5% coverage. The pack is simply three of the single cartridges boxed together — nothing about the rating is shared or divided between them.

Can I split this pack between two printers?

Yes. Each of the three units is individually sealed, so you can put one in the FS-4020DN by the front desk, another in the second machine down the hall, and keep the third as the shared spare. The cartridges are identical and interchangeable between any printers that take the TK-362.

How should the spare cartridges be stored while they wait their turn?

Leave them sealed in their boxes, flat, in a cool dry cabinet away from direct sunlight and heat vents. A simple habit that pays off: write the month and year on each box when it arrives, then always load the oldest box first. Rotating stock that way means no cartridge sits forgotten for years.

When is the right moment to order the next pack?

When the last of the three goes into the printer. At that point your shelf is empty and the machine is running on its final cartridge, which still gives you weeks of normal printing to reorder calmly rather than urgently.

If one unit from the pack turns out to be faulty, do I send all three back?

No — each cartridge is covered on its own. The pack carries a one-year warranty and one-year free returns, and a defective unit is exchanged or refunded individually while the others stay in service. Support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST; the details are on our shipping & returns page.

How does the 3 pack's price break down per cartridge and per page?

The set is $131.85, which is $43.95 per TK-362 cartridge. Each cartridge is rated at 20,000 pages, so the pack holds 60,000 rated pages in total and the running cost works out to roughly 0.22 cents per page at standard coverage. For a single-printer office, that is the figure to budget against: one order fixes the per-page rate for what is typically a full quarter or more of the FS-4020DN's output.

What kinds of pages will pull our real yield below 20,000 per cartridge?

Anything denser than plain text. The rating is set at 5% page coverage, so a cartridge feeding an FS-4020DN that prints dense forms, shaded tables, bold graphics or full-page scans will empty sooner — sometimes noticeably. A workgroup printing mostly letters and reports will land close to the rating. Neither result means anything is wrong with the cartridge; it means your reorder rhythm should be set by your page mix, and heavy-coverage offices should keep the next pack ordered a little earlier.

How can we learn our printer's true cartridge life from the first unit in this pack?

Note the FS-4020DN's page-counter reading and the date when the first cartridge goes in, then read the counter again when it comes out. That difference is your machine's honest yield for this cartridge — no brochure number involved. Multiply by the two remaining cartridges and you can forecast the pack's end within a week or two, which turns the next order into a scheduled task instead of a reaction to a warning light.

If we run two FS-4020DN printers and both go low in the same week, how should the pack be used?

The three cartridges are identical and interchangeable, so the pack flexes: install one in each printer and hold the third as the shared spare. The machine with the heavier workload — the one whose counter climbs fastest — is the one the spare is most likely to serve, so keep it in that printer's cabinet. Once two units are installed, your shelf is down to one, which is the sensible moment to place the next order rather than waiting for the last cartridge to go in.

About This TK-362 Three-Pack for the FS-4020DN

Three cartridges is the natural quarter's supply for one hardworking FS-4020DN: enough to absorb a heavy month without thinking about toner, small enough that the stock turns over regularly. These compatible units from our Kyocera-Mita line match the original TK-362 fit and per-cartridge yield, and orders ship from our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses, whichever puts the box on your shelf fastest.
