Frequently Asked Questions

Yellow is the color nobody notices — how do I know when it is actually empty?

Yellow rarely announces itself with pale text, because almost nothing prints in pure yellow. The signs are indirect: greens come out blue-ish, warm highlights disappear, and photos lose their brightness. The reliable check is the printer itself — the supply gauge and the on-screen message name the empty slot. When it names yellow, the cartridge you need is this 1T02NSAUS0 (TK-5152Y), $35.21.

What distinguishes this cartridge from the other three in its family?

Its part number. Yellow is 1T02NSAUS0 (TK-5152Y); black is 1T02NS0US0, cyan is 1T02NSCUS0 and magenta is 1T02NSBUS0. The cartridges are shaped for their own slots, so matching the Y code on the label of the unit you removed is the whole job.

How many pages should I expect from it?

The rating is 10,000 pages, in line with the cyan and magenta cartridges of the TK-5152 family (the black is rated at 12,000). Because yellow is mostly consumed as part of mixed colors, it often lasts longer in calendar time than its rating suggests in a text-heavy office — but heavy photo and graphics work will draw it down steadily.

Can I change the yellow cartridge without disturbing the others?

Yes. Open the cover, pull the yellow unit, unwrap and gently rock the new one, slide it in until it seats, close the cover — about two minutes, and the other three cartridges stay exactly where they are. There is no calibration routine you need to run afterwards.

How should a spare yellow cartridge be stored?

Sealed in its box, flat, at normal room temperature, away from windows and heaters. Toner does not dry out like ink, so a sealed cartridge keeps well — just rotate stock and open the oldest one first when you hold more than one spare.

What protection comes with this cartridge?

A 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, laid out in full on our shipping & returns page. If the cartridge misbehaves in normal use during that year, we replace it or refund you.

After fitting a new yellow, how do I confirm it is printing correctly?

Print something with a green or warm-yellow element — a chart with a green series or a photo with sunlight tones. Green is built from cyan plus yellow, so if greens come back rich instead of blue-ish, the new 1T02NSAUS0 (TK-5152Y) is seated and feeding properly. A plain text page tells you nothing here, because black text does not draw on the yellow slot at all.

What does yellow cost per page at this price?

The cartridge is $35.21 against a 10,000-page rating, which works out at roughly 0.35 cents per rated page. In a text-heavy office the real cost lands lower in practice, because yellow is only consumed where pages actually carry color — weeks of plain correspondence draw almost nothing from the TK-5152Y. Photo-heavy and graphics work is what spends it, and that work also produces the pages where its absence shows first.

When should the replacement yellow be ordered?

When the supply gauge first flags yellow as low — not when the printer stops. Yellow fails quietly, so the empty message often surfaces mid-job on a color document that matters. Ordering at the warning leaves the remaining toner to cover the delivery window, and the fresh 1T02NSAUS0 goes straight onto the shelf as the spare until the installed unit actually gives out.

What do I do with the spent yellow cartridge?

Put it in the new cartridge's box and route it to recycling or disposal the same day. Yellow is the easiest slot to confuse later, precisely because an empty TK-5152Y shows no visible symptom on text pages — a spent unit left by the printer can be refitted weeks later and send you diagnosing a fault that is really just an empty cartridge coming back around.

About This TK-5152 Yellow Cartridge

The 1T02NSAUS0 (TK-5152Y) is the single yellow cartridge for the Kyocera ECOSYS M6035cidn and M6535cidn, rated at 10,000 pages and priced at $35.21 on its own. It completes the TK-5152 family in our Kyocera Mita compatible range: black, cyan, magenta and this yellow, each orderable separately as its slot runs dry.

Yellow is easy to forget precisely because it fails quietly, so it is a smart color to keep sealed on the shelf next to the printer. Orders are dispatched from our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses. Questions about matching or ordering: our support team is on hand Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
