FS-1028MFP
Desk space is the whole argument for the Kyocera FS-1028MFP: one compact monochrome multifunction that prints, copies, scans and faxes, sized for a small office that cannot spare a equipment corner. It runs on a single black cartridge, the TK-132 — factory number 1T02HS0US0, also cataloged hyphen-free as TK132 — rated at approximately 7,200 pages per ISO/IEC 19752 at about 5% coverage. In Europe the identical cartridge is sold as the TK-130. One cartridge, one code to remember, and replacements stay infrequent enough that toner stops being a recurring conversation.
Everything about the machine is pitched at teams without an IT department: an intuitive panel for walk-up copying, everyday office paper stocks in the tray, and Kyocera reliability without a fleet-sized footprint or a complicated setup. For a practice, agency or back office that needs documents handled rather than admired, that restraint is the feature.

Which cartridge should you buy?
There is exactly one cartridge decision on this machine — how many to keep on hand. A single unit already covers roughly 7,200 pages, which for a small office is months of output, so a lone spare is usually plenty. If the MFP serves several people and a stock-out would stall invoicing or client paperwork, the 3-pack and 5-pack listings spread the same cartridge across the shelf at a lower cost per page, and the 10-pack suits offices that order supplies once a year and forget about it. Both listing styles on this page — the factory-number line and the TK132 line — carry the identical cartridge; choose whichever code matches the label on the unit you removed.
Chip, toner and everyday use
The cartridge is chipped and the panel reports toner level, so there is no guesswork about when to order. When a page comes out faint near the end of a cartridge, pull the unit and rock it gently from side to side; the toner bed levels out and print density typically recovers for the remaining run. Keep the spare sealed in its bag on a flat shelf — heat and sunlight shorten toner life, and a crushed corner can make a cartridge seat badly. Because this model scans and faxes as well as prints, remember the toner serves all three: a busy fax week consumes the same cartridge as printing. Compatible cartridges here carry a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which toner does the Kyocera FS-1028MFP use?
One cartridge only: the TK-132 black toner (1T02HS0US0), the US designation for the cartridge sold in Europe as the TK-130. It is rated at approximately 7,200 pages at 5% coverage.
Will a compatible cartridge work properly in this machine?
Yes. Every cartridge listed here is a compatible replacement built for the FS-1028MFP, matched to the machine so it installs like the original and delivers the same sharp black output for prints, copies and received faxes.
How many pages will one cartridge realistically print?
Plan on around 7,200 letter pages at roughly 5% coverage. Dense contracts and forms land close to that figure; pages with large graphics or heavy bold coverage will finish a cartridge somewhat sooner.
Is there a high-yield version I should look for instead?
The cartridge itself comes in one capacity, so yield strategy here means pack size rather than a different cartridge. Multi-packs from the table above lower the per-page cost for offices that print every day.
More printers that use the same cartridges
The TK-132 cartridge is shared with five other Kyocera models, which keeps a mixed office on one spare: FS-1128MFP, FS-1300D, FS-1300DN, FS-1350DN, KM-2810, KM-2820.
