Frequently Asked Questions

Which code tells me this is the magenta cartridge?

Look for 1T02KVBUS0, also written TK-592M. The middle letter group is what separates it from its siblings — the cyan, black and yellow units in this family share most of the code and differ in those characters — so read the full string on your old cartridge's label and match it against this one for your FS-C2026MFP.

Reds look dull and skin tones have gone gray. Is magenta the cause?

That is the textbook magenta symptom. Magenta carries reds, pinks and the warm half of every skin tone; as it runs dry, those colors wash out and faces take on a gray-green cast while blues and yellows still look right. A gentle side-to-side rock of the old unit may restore color for a few pages — if it fades again, the cartridge is finished.

Can the machine keep printing with the magenta empty?

It will often try, but everything in color comes out wrong, because the printer cannot mix reds and purples without magenta. Black text work is unaffected. Rather than let a batch of customer-facing documents go out with distorted color, it is better to swap this cartridge in as soon as the symptom shows.

Is the swap a one-cartridge job in the middle of a print run?

Yes. Pause the job, open the toner access, exchange just the magenta unit and close up — the other three cartridges are not touched, and the run can continue where it left off. The whole exchange takes a couple of minutes.

How should I read the 5,000-page rating for color work?

It is measured at 5% coverage, like every rating in this family. Magenta use depends heavily on what you print: a photo- and brochure-heavy office will move through it noticeably faster than one printing mostly text with a color logo. Either way, this is the full standard-capacity cartridge, not a reduced starter unit.

What if the new cartridge has a problem?

It is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, with the full wording on our shipping & returns page. Orders ship from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA.

Which jobs use up the magenta cartridge fastest?

Warm, image-heavy work. Photographs, brochures, presentation covers and anything rich in reds, pinks and skin tones draw hard on the TK-592M, because magenta is a building block of all of them. An office printing mostly text with a colored logo will sip at the 5,000-page rating for months, while a marketing-heavy workload can move through the same 1T02KVBUS0 at a pace that surprises people who only watch the page count.

How do I spot magenta fading early, before a client sees it?

Keep a reference print of a document you know well — one with a photograph or strong red elements — and reprint it from time to time. Magenta fades gradually, so side-by-side comparison against the reference reveals the drift in reds and skin tones long before a fresh document looks obviously wrong. When the new print has lost its warmth, plan the swap before the next customer-facing run.

How should a spare TK-592M be stored?

Sealed in its bag, flat, in a cool dry place away from sunlight and heat sources. A magenta spare kept that way waits without losing capacity, which suits a color that can be called on without much warning. When its turn comes, give it a gentle side-to-side rock before fitting so the toner is level, then print a test page with some red in it to confirm full strength.

What should happen to the empty magenta cartridge?

Recycle it, kept in its bag or carton until it leaves so residual toner stays contained. One exception: if the cartridge came out because of a fault — streaks or dropouts with toner clearly remaining — do not recycle it before talking to support. The TK-592M is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, and the cartridge itself is what any claim rests on.

About This TK-592M Magenta Cartridge

The TK-592M (1T02KVBUS0), rated at 5,000 pages, is the magenta cartridge for the FS-C2026MFP, FS-C2126MFP, FS-C2526MFP and FS-C2626MFP multifunction machines and the FS-C5250DN printer. Magenta rarely gets the blame it deserves when color goes wrong — it fades gradually, so prints stay plausible while quietly losing their reds — and this listing is written around spotting that moment. Sold singly at $38.50 so a single tired color never forces a full set purchase, it belongs to our Kyocera Mita compatible range. Our support team can verify the code for your machine Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
