Frequently Asked Questions

Yellow doesn't show on white paper — how do I even know it has run out?

Watch the greens and the machine's own messages. Yellow is half of every green, so when it empties, green areas drift toward blue and warm colors cool down, even though nothing looks "missing" at a glance. The printer's status screen also reports the yellow level directly. When it is time, the cartridge you need is this one: 1T02LCCUS0, marked TK-8507Y.

The code on my old yellow cartridge is hard to read. How else can I confirm the match?

Check the slot position and the model. This cartridge is the yellow unit for the TASKalfa 4550ci, TASKalfa 4551ci and TASKalfa 5550ci, and in this family the yellow carries the code ending in LCCUS0. If your machine is one of those three models and the cartridge came out of the yellow slot, you have the right replacement.

Can I replace the yellow on its own, mid-job?

Yes — it is a single-slot swap. Pause the work, open the cover, exchange only the yellow cartridge and carry on. Nothing about the other three cartridges changes, and there are no settings to reset afterwards.

Is it worth keeping a yellow spare on the shelf?

For most offices, yes — precisely because yellow gives so little visible warning. A sealed spare kept flat in a cool, dry cupboard means a two-minute swap when the greens go wrong, instead of a wait for delivery with color work held up. Sealed, it keeps happily for many months.

What yield should I expect from this cartridge?

It is rated at 20,000 pages at standard coverage, the same rating as the other two colors in this family. Documents heavy in backgrounds and charts draw on yellow faster than plain text pages do, so offices with color-rich output will see the lower end of that range.

What warranty and returns terms apply?

A 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns, as described in our shipping & returns policy. The cover applies whether the cartridge goes straight into the machine or sits sealed as your spare first.

How can I check the yellow level before it catches me out?

Build a small habit: once a month, print the machine's color test page and look at the yellow band itself, not just at finished documents. A band that prints strong and even means the TK-8507Y is healthy; a band turning pale or patchy is your early signal, weeks before greens in real documents start drifting toward blue. The supply status screen gives the same warning numerically, and between the two checks yellow rarely gets to surprise you.

What does this yellow cartridge cost per page?

At $126.29 for a 1T02LCCUS0 rated at 20,000 pages, the rated cost is about 0.63 cents per page at standard coverage — the highest per-page figure of the family's colors, on the cartridge most offices think about least. Because documents heavy in backgrounds and charts draw on yellow faster than plain text does, color-rich departments will land above that figure, while mostly-text offices, where yellow works quietly inside greens and warm tones, will land below it.

Can one shelf spare cover more than one machine in our office?

Yes. The same yellow cartridge serves the TASKalfa 4550ci, the TASKalfa 4551ci and the TASKalfa 5550ci, so a single sealed TK-8507Y on the shelf stands behind whichever of those machines calls for yellow first. For a mixed fleet that simplifies stocking considerably: instead of a spare per model, one unit covers the floor, and it can be replaced in the stock the day it is used, keeping the cover continuous.

What should I do with the yellow cartridge I take out?

Do not discard it the moment it comes out. Keep the spent TK-8507Y until the new cartridge has printed a few days of normal work with greens and warm tones looking right; if the replacement were faulty, having the old unit on hand keeps the 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns simple. When the new cartridge has proved itself, the empty goes through your office's usual disposal route for used toner cartridges, in its box to contain any residue.
