FS-1800

Kyocera FS-1800 printer

Some printers earn their keep for a decade, and the Kyocera FS-1800 is the textbook example: a classic FS-series monochrome laser built around a long-life drum and running costs low enough that offices simply never got around to replacing it. It feeds on a single black cartridge, the TK-60 (1T02BR0US0), rated at a deep 20,000 pages per ISO/IEC 19752. At that yield, a toner change on this machine is a rare event rather than a monthly routine.

The FS-1800 comes from the era when Kyocera built its reputation on ceramic long-life components and mechanical simplicity. There is no color system to manage, no stable of cartridges to track — just one toner that lasts through reams of invoices, reports and correspondence. Owners keeping these printers in service today are usually doing so deliberately: the machine works, the output is sharp, and the cost of feeding it stays pennies per page. The listings below keep that equation intact with compatible cartridges that match the original fit and yield.

Toner Cartridges for FS-1800

Cartridge	Color	Page Yield
TK-60 (1T02BR0US0)	Black	20,000 pages
TK-60 (1T02BR0US0) — 2 Pack	Black	20,000 pages per cartridge
TK-60 (1T02BR0US0) — 4 Pack	Black	20,000 pages per cartridge

This cartridge has been in our catalog for years, and the same TK-60 is also stocked under listings named for the sibling printers that share it. For the FS-1900 you can order the single, 2-pack or 4-pack; for the FS-1900N the single, 2-pack or 4-pack; for the FS-3800 the single, 2-pack or 4-pack; and for the FS-3800N the single, 2-pack or 4-pack. Every one of them is the identical cartridge inside the box.

Which cartridge should you buy?

With one cartridge and a 20,000-page rating, the choice is about how far ahead you want to stock. A single cartridge already covers a long stretch of ordinary office printing. A 2-pack puts roughly 40,000 pages of toner on the shelf, which suits an FS-1800 that handles a department's daily output, and the 4-pack stretches that to about 80,000 pages for sites running several machines from this family on one supply order. Because the same TK-60 also serves the bigger siblings listed below, a shared multi-pack across machines is a sensible way to buy. All listings carry a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Part of this generation's charm is how little ceremony a toner change involves: open the front cover, slide the old cartridge out, rock the new one gently to loosen the toner, and slide it in until it seats. If print comes out light on one side, that same gentle rocking redistributes toner and usually evens the page out. Yields are rated at 5% coverage, so a cartridge feeding mostly text documents should approach its rating, while heavy graphics shorten the run. Keep spare cartridges sealed, flat and out of direct sunlight, and wipe paper dust out of the paper path now and then — on a machine this age, clean rollers and a dust-free path do more for print quality than any setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner does the FS-1800 take?

The TK-60 black cartridge, Kyocera part number 1T02BR0US0, rated at 20,000 pages per ISO/IEC 19752. It is the only supply this printer needs on a routine basis, and it is the cartridge behind every listing on this page.

Do I need to replace a drum cartridge as well?

Not with every toner. Kyocera designed this generation around a long-life drum that stays in the machine through many toner changes, which is a large part of why the FS-1800 stayed economical for so long. Day to day, the TK-60 toner above is the consumable you order.

Can I order from this page for my FS-1900?

Yes. The FS-1900 takes the same TK-60 cartridge, and this shelf includes listings created under the sibling models' names as well as the FS-1800's own. The cartridge inside is identical whichever listing you choose.

Why are my prints fading on one side?

That is the classic sign of toner settling unevenly in a cartridge that is getting low. Remove the cartridge and rock it side to side a few times to redistribute the toner, then print a test page. If the fade returns quickly, the cartridge is near the end of its 20,000-page life and a replacement is due.
