Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the 5-pack put together for?

It is aimed at busier offices, and at anyone responsible for more than one compatible machine. With five black TK-172 cartridges in the cupboard, the printers that take the 1T02LZ0US0 cartridge — the FS-1320D, the FS-1370DN and the P2135d — keep working through heavy stretches without an emergency purchase every time a low-toner warning pops up.

Is each of the five cartridges packed on its own?

Yes, every one of the five arrives sealed in its own packaging. Nothing has to be opened until the moment a printer actually needs it, which keeps the remaining stock clean, protected and easy to count at a glance.

How do I make sure older stock gets used before newer stock?

Write the delivery month on each box as the pack arrives, then load the cupboard with the oldest boxes at the front. Whoever changes a cartridge takes the front box, and the stock rotates itself without anyone having to think about it.

Can the pack be split between two offices?

Certainly. Because the cartridges are sealed individually, three can stay at head office and two can travel to a branch, or the whole pack can be divided between floors of the same building. Each location then holds its own small reserve of the same 1T02LZ0US0 (TK-172) cartridge.

What if a cartridge from the middle of the pack turns out to be faulty?

Each unit stands on its own. Every cartridge in the pack is backed by a 1-year warranty and by 1-year free returns, with the details laid out on our shipping & returns page, so one problem cartridge is resolved by itself — the rest of the pack, fitted or still on the shelf, is unaffected.

Where will my order be sent from?

We dispatch from the nearest of our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, which keeps delivery times short across most of the country. If anything about the shipment needs chasing, our support team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

What does each cartridge in this 5-pack cost?

Divide $57.73 by five and each TK-172 comes to about $11.55 — the figure an office manager actually budgets with, since it is the cost of one toner change on any of the machines this pack serves. Against a rating of up to 7,200 pages per cartridge, it is also why bulk stock of this code is popular: the per-change cost stays low even before you count the emergency orders the reserve prevents.

A cartridge fitted from the middle of the pack prints streaky pages. What should we check first?

Start with the simple causes before assuming the unit is faulty. Take the cartridge out, rock it gently side to side to level the toner, reseat it firmly, and print a few pages — settling in storage and a slightly loose fit are the usual culprits. If the streaks persist after that, do not keep burning paper: every TK-172 in the pack carries its own 1-year warranty, and our support team can walk through the next step.

Our busiest weeks print far heavier pages than the standard test assumes. How does that change the plan?

It shortens each cartridge, so bring your reorder thinking forward. A TK-172 rated at up to 7,200 pages at standard coverage will give noticeably fewer pages under dense statements, shaded forms or graphics-heavy runs, and a five-cartridge reserve that looked like a year of cover can shrink accordingly. The practical adjustment is to reorder when the second-to-last cartridge is fitted during a heavy season rather than waiting for the last one.

What should we do with five empties spread over the life of the pack?

Avoid the pile-up by handling them in pairs or threes. Each empty 1T02LZ0US0 goes back into its replacement's packaging, and once two or three have collected they can go to a local recycling collection point in one trip — no need to store all five until the pack ends. Keep a genuinely faulty cartridge out of that flow entirely and contact us about it while it is still the cartridge in question.

About This 5-Pack

This $57.73 pack holds five black cartridges carrying the 1T02LZ0US0 (TK-172) part number, each one rated at up to 7,200 pages, for use in the FS-1320D, FS-1370DN and P2135d. It is the bulk option in our compatible Kyocera-Mita range, chosen by office managers who would rather keep a working reserve in the supply cupboard than order in a hurry each time a printer stops.
