Frequently Asked Questions

The copier just ran dry in the middle of a print run — is this the cartridge that gets it going again?

Check the label on the unit you pull out. If it reads 1T02LH0US0 or TK-6307, this is the same black toner cartridge in a compatible build — Kyocera lists the one cartridge under both codes, so either marking confirms the match before you open anything. A different code on the old label means a different cartridge, and it is worth a minute's pause to compare.

What arrives in the box for $117.38?

One sealed black toner cartridge and nothing else to figure out. There is no drum to buy alongside it, no tool kit, no setup disc — the unit is complete as it comes out of the carton and drops straight into the machine.

How far does a 35,000-page rating actually go on a departmental machine?

The figure is rated at the standard 5% page coverage, so dense reports and form-heavy work will land somewhat under it while plain text runs closer. Fitted to a TASKalfa 3500i that handles a department's shared printing and copying, a single cartridge of this size typically covers a long stretch of everyday output before the toner-low message shows up.

Can the swap be done without calling a technician?

Yes — it takes about two minutes. Open the front cover, draw the empty cartridge straight out, peel the protective seal off the new one, rock it gently end to end a few times so the toner settles evenly, and slide it home until it seats. Close the cover and the interrupted job can be sent again.

The first copies after the change look washed out. Should I send it back?

Not yet. Toner powder compacts in transit, and early pages often print light because of it. Remove the cartridge, rock it side to side five or six times to loosen and level the powder, reinstall it, and run a few pages — output density normally evens out on its own.

What stands behind the cartridge if something is genuinely wrong?

It is covered by a one-year warranty and one-year free returns, so a real fault ends in a replacement or a refund, not an argument. Support answers Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and the full terms are set out on our shipping & returns page.

How do I plan the next order so the copier never stops mid-run again?

Watch for the toner-low message and treat it as the order signal, not as a warning to ignore. A single TK-6307 is rated at 35,000 pages, so the warning arrives with a long stretch of printing still ahead of it — ordering at that moment leaves comfortable lead time instead of a queue forming at a dead copier. If your department runs the machine hard, note the page counter when the message appears; that reading tells you how many pages the warning really buys you, and the next order can be timed from it.

What does 5% coverage actually look like on our pages?

Think of an ordinary typed letter: mostly white space with lines of text, which is close to 5% of the page covered in toner. Bold headings, shaded tables, logos and solid blocks push coverage well above that, so a page of dense forms lays down far more toner than a page of plain text. That is why the 35,000-page rating is a comparison standard rather than a fixed count — your page mix decides where the real number lands.

Can this cartridge move to a different TASKalfa if our machine is replaced?

Yes. The TK-6307, also coded 1T02LH0US0, is shared across the departmental TASKalfa line — the 3500i, 3501i, 4500i and 5500i all take the same black unit — so a sealed spare bought for one machine fits the replacement just as well. The surest check is still the label on the cartridge you pull out of the new machine: if it reads 1T02LH0US0 or TK-6307, this is its match.

Should I throw the old cartridge away straight after the swap?

Not immediately. Keep the spent unit for a few days until the new TK-6307 has printed cleanly through a normal run of work. If a fault shows up in that window, the old cartridge and its label help the warranty conversation, since the code on it confirms exactly what was in the machine. Once the replacement has proven itself, the old unit can go out with your local recycling or waste collection under whatever rules apply where you are.

About This Kyocera TK-6307 Black Toner Cartridge (Single)

This single-cartridge listing is for one machine that needs toner now — a department copier stopped mid-run, not a storeroom being stocked. The TK-6307 (1T02LH0US0) is the high-capacity black unit for Kyocera's departmental TASKalfa line, and this compatible version matches the original's fit and 35,000-page rating at a fraction of the brand-name price. It belongs to our compatible Kyocera-Mita range and ships from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, whichever puts it on your loading dock soonest.

This cartridge is shared across the platform: TASKalfa 3500i, TASKalfa 3501i, TASKalfa 4500i and TASKalfa 5500i. Stocking the whole family? Start with the black three-pack and the black five-pack.
