Frequently Asked Questions

The box shows both 370QB0KM and TK-18 — are those two different cartridges?

No — they are two names for the same cartridge. 370QB0KM is the Kyocera Mita part number and TK-18 is the cartridge's model designation. This listing is one black toner cartridge carrying both codes, priced at $63.26. If your printer's supply label or manual calls for either number, this is the cartridge it means.

What exactly arrives when I order this single cartridge?

One individually sealed black toner cartridge in its own box — nothing more, nothing bundled. It is a single replacement unit for one machine, which makes it the right order when a single printer is showing low toner and you do not keep shelf stock.

How long will 7,200 pages actually last in a small office?

The 370QB0KM is rated at 7,200 pages per cartridge. On a legacy workhorse like the FS-1020D printing a few dozen pages a day, that typically stretches across many months of ordinary office work — invoices, letters and reports. Heavy daily volume shortens that span; light use stretches it well past a year.

Which printers does this cartridge fit?

It fits the FS-1018MFP and its close relatives from the same generation: the FS-1020D, FS-1118MFP, KM-1500, KM-1815, KM-1818 and KM-1820. These are older Kyocera Mita machines that all share the TK-18 supply, so one cartridge type covers any of them.

Can I install it myself on an older machine?

Yes. Open the printer's front cover, slide the spent cartridge out, give the new one a gentle side-to-side rock to loosen the toner, and slide it in until it seats. No tools and no service visit are needed, and the machine is ready to print as soon as the cover closes.

What protection comes with this cartridge?

Every cartridge we sell is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, with the full terms on our shipping & returns page. If the cartridge fails in normal use within that year, contact us and we will make it right.

Which pages use up the TK-18 fastest?

The 7,200-page rating assumes standard coverage, and coverage is what your documents decide. Dense forms, shaded table headers, logos and pages with heavy graphics lay down far more toner per sheet than plain letters and invoices. A legacy machine printing mostly text will land close to the rating; one churning out dense paperwork will finish the cartridge sooner. Your real figure sits wherever your own page mix puts it, and it becomes predictable after the first cartridge or two.

I would rather buy a spare ahead of time — how do I keep it until it is needed?

Leave it sealed in its own box, stored flat indoors away from heat and direct sunlight. A sealed cartridge asks for nothing while it waits — there is no maintenance and nothing to top up. When the fitted cartridge finally runs low, give the spare a gentle side-to-side rock before sliding it in, so the toner inside is spread evenly, and the machine carries on without an emergency order in between.

How do fading prints tell me it is the cartridge ending, and not the printer?

End-of-toner fading is even. When a cartridge is genuinely running out, text turns uniformly gray across the whole page — top to bottom, edge to edge — because there is simply less toner to go around. A fault that shows as one streak, one pale band or one repeated mark in the same place points somewhere else. Print a test page: if the dark areas are pale everywhere at once, the 370QB0KM has done its work and a fresh one is the fix.

What do I do with the old cartridge once it comes out?

Put it straight into the new cartridge's box so any loose toner stays contained, and send it through your local route for spent toner cartridges. It is also worth holding the old unit for a few days until the replacement has printed cleanly — if you do need to talk to support about the swap, having the spent TK-18 on hand makes that conversation simpler.
