Frequently Asked Questions
What should go on the purchase order so the storeroom receives exactly this cartridge?
Quote both codes: 1T02LV0US0 and TK-3132. They identify the same black cartridge, and listing both on the order line removes any ambiguity for whoever picks and packs it. Each of the five units in this pack is labeled with those codes and rated at 25,000 pages per cartridge for the FS-4300DN.
Are all five cartridges in the pack identical?
Yes — five individually sealed units of the one specification, so output stays consistent from the first cartridge of the pack to the last. That uniformity is the point of standardising on a single code: any FS-4300DN in the building can draw from the same shelf stock with no sorting.
How do we keep track of a shared stock of five?
A simple sign-out note on the storeroom door works well: date, machine, and who took the cartridge. With five units in hand the count matters — knowing whether two or four remain is the difference between a calm reorder and an empty printer on a deadline day.
How should unopened cartridges from this pack be stored?
Keep them sealed in their boxes, flat, away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators or a sunny loading bay. Stored that way, the later cartridges in the pack stay in good condition for the months it takes a busy office to work through the earlier ones; write the arrival month on each box and use them in order.
When should the next pack be ordered?
Use the second-to-last cartridge as your signal. When the fourth unit goes into a printer, one sealed spare remains — enough cover to reorder this 5 pack at a normal pace instead of paying for rushed delivery with an idle machine waiting.
What if a cartridge from the middle of the pack develops a fault?
It is dealt with individually under our 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, which you can read in full on the shipping & returns page; the rest of the pack is unaffected and stays in service. Stock ships from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA or CA, and our support team answers Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
What is the per-cartridge cost inside this 5 pack?
The pack is $212.65 for five 1T02LV0US0 (TK-3132) cartridges, which breaks down to $42.53 per unit — against $57.32 for the single, so five singles would total $286.60 and the pack saves $73.95. Across the pack's combined 125,000 rated pages, that is roughly 0.17 cents per page at standard coverage. Nothing about the cartridge changes at this size; the saving is purely the reward for committing to a shelf of stock in one order instead of five separate ones.
What should receiving verify on a five-cartridge delivery?
Five units, counted against the order line before the outer packaging is discarded, with each cartridge's seal intact. Bulk cartons travel well, but a crushed corner or torn wrapping is worth a photograph and a note on the delivery record on the day — months later, when the affected unit is finally opened, that same-day note is what makes the claim simple. Once counted and checked, the units go to the shelf as one dated batch, ready for the sign-out habit to take over.
Our volume dropped this year — will the later cartridges suffer for waiting?
No. Toner is a dry powder, not a liquid that dries out or a battery that self-discharges, so a sealed cartridge does not fade on the shelf the way perishable supplies do. Kept sealed, flat and away from heat and sunlight, the fourth and fifth units of this pack remain ready well beyond the span a busy office needs — and comfortably beyond a slower year too. A gentle side-to-side rock when a long-stored unit is finally fitted levels the toner before its first page.
What do we do with five empties over the course of the pack?
Drop each spent cartridge back into the packaging its replacement came out of, and keep one collection carton in the storeroom for the purpose. Empties then leave as a single batch through your local office-supplies or electronics recycling stream instead of accumulating loose on shelves and desks. Sealing each empty in a box also keeps stray toner dust contained in the meantime. By the time the fifth unit is fitted, the batch is ready to go out in one trip.
