FS-1116MFP

Kyocera FS-1116MFP printer

The FS-1116MFP is the step-up version of Kyocera's compact monochrome multifunction line, aimed at small workgroups that have outgrown a purely personal machine. On top of the print, copy and scan core it adds a built-in fax and doubles the memory to 64 MB, yet it stays with the same single supply as its smaller sibling: the TK-112 black cartridge, Kyocera part 1T02FV0US0, rated at about 6,000 pages. One cartridge for the whole machine keeps restocking a one-line order, no matter how many of its functions the office leans on.

Growing teams feel the difference in the queue rather than the spec sheet: the extra memory keeps larger scan and fax jobs moving, and the fax line still earns its keep in offices that deal with signed forms and suppliers who insist on it. Because the cartridge is shared with the FS-1016MFP and the desktop printers listed below, an office running a mix of these machines can standardize on one toner and stop labeling shelves by model. Volume is the thing to watch; the FS-1116MFP's roughly 6,000-page cartridge matches a workgroup that prints steadily through the week without tipping into departmental territory.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Every option on this page is the same TK-112 cartridge; the decision is purely how many to keep in the building. A lone FS-1116MFP in a quiet office does fine with a single cartridge and a spare in the drawer. A busier workgroup, or one where this machine shares supply duty with a sibling model, should look at the 3 pack or 5 pack, since buying several at once lowers the cost per cartridge and removes the reorder errand from the monthly list. Kyocera's TK-112E economy fill, around 2,000 pages, exists for the lightest users, but a fax-and-copy workgroup burns through fills fast enough that the standard 6,000-page cartridge is the sensible default. All of the compatible cartridges here carry a 1-year warranty with 1-year returns.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Only two of this machine's jobs consume toner: printing and copying. Incoming faxes that stay on screen, scans saved to a computer and documents read at the panel cost nothing, so a fax-heavy day is not a toner-heavy day. The cartridge chip reports the remaining level, and yields are quoted at about 5% page coverage, which means form letters track the rating closely while dense contracts land under it. Store the next cartridge sealed and flat, away from radiators and sunny windowsills, and when output first fades, a gentle side-to-side rock of the cartridge spreads the remaining toner and buys time until the replacement goes in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner does the FS-1116MFP take?

The TK-112 black cartridge, Kyocera part 1T02FV0US0, rated for approximately 6,000 pages. It is the only supply the machine uses, for printing and copying alike.

How is the FS-1116MFP different from the FS-1016MFP?

It adds a built-in fax and doubles the memory to 64 MB, in the same compact footprint and on the same TK-112 cartridge. Offices that never fax will not miss the difference; offices that do will feel it daily.

Is there a smaller, cheaper-fill option?

Kyocera lists a TK-112E economy cartridge at roughly 2,000 pages. It fits, but for a shared workgroup machine the standard TK-112 stocked on this page is the better value per page and needs changing far less often.

When does a multi-pack make sense for this model?

When the machine prints every day, or when the same TK-112 also feeds another family model in the office. The 3 pack and 5 pack keep a working reserve without a separate order each time a cartridge ends.
