ECOSYS P2035DN
The ECOSYS P2035dn is the networked member of Kyocera's compact A4 monochrome line: the same duplex print engine as its USB sibling, but shared over Ethernet so a whole workgroup prints to one machine. It runs a single black cartridge, the TK-162 (Kyocera part 1T02LY0US0), rated at 2,500 pages per ISO/IEC 19752. TK-162 is the North American number for the cartridge documented elsewhere as the TK-160 — one cartridge, two labels.
Sharing changes the supply math. A personal printer can wait a day for a delivery; a workgroup printer with a queue of jobs cannot, so the 2,500-page cartridge is best treated as a shelf item — one installed, one spare. The ECOSYS design helps here too: the drum is a long-life component built for the life of the machine under normal use, so toner is the only routine consumable and there is no drum to budget for or time around other people's print jobs.

Which cartridge should you buy?
There is only one cartridge decision on this page: how many to keep on hand. A single TK-162 suits a lightly used machine, while the 3-pack and 5-pack listings lower the reorder frequency for a printer the whole office leans on — each cartridge still prints the same 2,500 pages at standard coverage, so the packs are about stocking, not about a different toner. The premium 5-pack is the same cartridge count in the premium-quality line. However you order, every compatible cartridge is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns, and keeping one sealed spare means a toner-out message at 4 p.m. never holds up the team's end-of-day printing.
Chip, toner and everyday use
The TK-162's chip reports toner level to the printer, which is what the panel warning is based on — treat the first low-toner message as your ordering cue rather than a hard stop, since the cartridge usually has some pages left. Pulling the cartridge and rocking it gently end to end levels the remaining toner and can clean up faded streaks for a while. Print the replacement promptly once quality drops, store spares sealed in a cool, dry cabinet, and remember that rated yield assumes about 5% page coverage; full-page graphics and dense forms will use toner considerably faster.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which toner does the ECOSYS P2035dn take?
One black cartridge: the TK-162, Kyocera part 1T02LY0US0, rated at 2,500 pages. It is the only consumable this printer asks for in normal use.
Is the TK-162 the same as the TK-160?
Yes. TK-160 is the designation used in the printer's original documentation and in Europe; TK-162 is the North American number for the identical cartridge, so order TK-162 for a US machine.
Does the P2035dn share toner with other printers?
It does. The ECOSYS P2035d and the FS-1120D use the identical TK-162 cartridge, so one spare on the shelf covers any of the three machines.
Does this printer need a separate drum unit?
No. Kyocera's long-life drum is designed to last the life of the machine under normal use, so there is no drum on the routine order — toner is the only regular replacement.
