Frequently Asked Questions

Why order three cartridges at once instead of one at a time?

Because a printer never seems to run dry at a convenient moment. With this 3 pack at $74.01, one cartridge goes into the machine and two remain sealed on the shelf, turning the next change into a two-minute task instead of a wait for a delivery. It fits small offices that print daily but have no supply room or purchasing staff.

Is each cartridge in the pack sealed on its own?

Yes. The three TK-162 cartridges — part number 1T02LY0US0 — are individually sealed units inside one outer box, not toner poured into a shared container. You open them one at a time, so the spares stay protected from air and light until the day each is installed.

Is the 2,500-page figure for the whole pack or for each cartridge?

For each cartridge. Every unit in this pack carries the same 2,500-page rating at standard coverage as the single TK-162. The number describes one cartridge's capacity, so measure your printing pace against a single unit rather than treating the pack as one big tank.

How should the two spare cartridges be stored?

Keep them sealed, lying flat, indoors at ordinary room temperature — an office drawer or shelf does the job. Steer clear of garages, sunny windowsills and anywhere hot or damp. Write the delivery date on the outer box and use the oldest stock first, so no cartridge sits forgotten at the back for years.

Can this pack be shared between two printers?

It can. Each cartridge is a complete, independent unit, so one can serve the ECOSYS P2035dn at the front desk while another goes into a second machine down the hall. Nothing about the pack ties its three cartridges to a single printer.

If one cartridge from the pack turns out faulty, do all three go back?

No. Warranty and returns are handled cartridge by cartridge, so the problem unit is replaced or refunded on its own while the rest of your pack stays in service. Coverage is a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns — the shipping and returns page explains the process — and support is on hand Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST.

Will each cartridge really deliver its full 2,500 pages?

That depends on what you print. The 2,500-page rating for the TK-162 is measured at standard coverage — ordinary text pages with modest ink on them. A P2035dn that mostly handles letters and invoices should land close to the figure, while pages packed with bold headers, shaded tables or graphics use more toner per sheet and bring the count down. Treat the rating as a fair planning number, not a guaranteed page count.

Does it matter which cartridge from the pack goes in first?

No. All three units are identical 1T02LY0US0 cartridges from the same production, so any one of them can be the first you fit. Before installing, take the sealed cartridge out of its wrap and rock it gently from side to side a few times — toner can settle during shipping and storage, and a quick rock levels it for even first pages. Then fit it and keep the other two sealed.

What should I check when the 3-pack is delivered?

Count the contents before you put the box away: there should be three individually sealed TK-162 cartridges inside the outer box, each with its seal intact. A quick glance at the part number on a unit — 1T02LY0US0 — confirms the delivery matches your order. If a seal looks broken or a box is crushed, note it the same day and contact us rather than discovering it months later at changeover time.

What should I do with a TK-162 cartridge once it runs empty?

Slip the spent cartridge into the bag or box the new one came out of so loose toner stays contained, and set it aside for recycling through your local office-supply or municipal collection point rather than general trash. One exception: if a cartridge fails early or prints badly, keep it exactly as it is and contact us first — a faulty TK-162 is handled under its warranty, and sending it for recycling too soon can complicate a claim.
