Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm this is the right cartridge before I open the box?
Match two numbers on the label of the cartridge you are pulling out: the OEM part number 1T02P80US0 and the TK-7107 designation. If both appear on the empty unit, this single black cartridge is the same supply item. The box is marked with both codes as well, so you can verify the match before breaking the seal.
What exactly is inside this package?
One black toner cartridge, sealed in its protective bag with the pull tab intact. There is no multi-pack here and nothing else to assemble — the unit is a complete, ready-to-install cartridge for a single replacement.
How long will one 20,000-page cartridge actually last in a shared department machine?
The 20,000-page rating is measured at standard 5% page coverage. On a workgroup copier like the TASKalfa 3010i running mixed copying and printing, most offices see several months of service from a single unit. Dense reports, full-page graphics and heavy copy runs will consume it faster than light everyday printing.
Can I swap it myself, or does this need a service call?
You can do it at the machine in about two minutes with no tools. Open the front cover, slide the spent cartridge out, remove the seal from the new one, give it a gentle side-to-side rock to level the toner, and slide it in until it seats. No technician visit is required for a routine toner change.
The first pages after the swap look light. Did I get a bad cartridge?
Almost certainly not. Toner settles during shipping, and the first prints can look faint until it distributes evenly. Take the cartridge out, rock it slowly from side to side five or six times, reinstall it and run a few test pages. Output normally evens out within the first small batch of prints.
What protection do I have if this single cartridge turns out to be faulty?
Every cartridge we sell is covered by a one-year warranty and one-year free returns. Orders ship from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and if you need help before ordering or after a swap, our team is available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST. Full details are on our shipping and returns page.
What does this single cartridge cost per page?
About 0.31 cents: the $62.10 price divided by the 20,000-page rating at standard 5% coverage. Treat that as a yardstick rather than a promise — dense reports and full-page graphics spend toner faster and push the real figure up, while light everyday text pulls it down. Even so, the per-page number is the fair way to weigh the cost of a heavy month against a light one.
Should I throw the old cartridge away the moment the new one is in?
Not right away. Keep it until the new TK-7107 has printed cleanly for a day or two. Toner settles in transit, so a faint first page is usually fixed by rocking the new unit and running a few test pages — but if the new cartridge keeps misbehaving, the old one still carries the label, part number 1T02P80US0 and TK-7107, that confirms exactly what the machine takes.
We have a heavy-print month coming — how should I plan around it?
The several-months expectation assumes everyday office documents, and dense reports or full-page graphics will eat into the 20,000-page rating faster. If a big run is already on the calendar, check how far into this cartridge's life you are and order the next single before the run starts, rather than discovering mid-run that the machine is empty.
Is it worth ordering the next single at the same time as this one?
That is the simplest spare habit there is: install one, keep the next sealed on the shelf. A single unit takes little room, and the spare turns a mid-job empty into a two-minute swap instead of a delivery wait. The next order can then wait until the spare goes in.
About This Cartridge
This is the single-pack listing of the 1T02P80US0 (TK-7107) black toner cartridge, priced at $62.10. It is built for offices that reorder one unit at a time as the machine calls for it — a straightforward like-for-like replacement that keeps a busy department copier running without stocking a shelf of spares. As a Kyocera-Mita compatible cartridge, it is manufactured to the same TK-7107 specification and page-yield rating as the original supply, so the swap changes nothing about how your machine behaves day to day.
