FS-2020D
The FS-2020D is Kyocera's monochrome workgroup printer with duplex built in as standard, so two-sided documents come out finished — no manual flipping, no driver workarounds, no optional hardware. It feeds on one black cartridge with two names: the TK-342 in North American listings (Europe knows it as the TK-340), boxed under Kyocera's part number 1T02J00US0 and also sold here in the dash-free TK342 form. One cartridge is rated for about 12,000 pages per ISO/IEC 19752, which is what makes the running cost of this printer so low across long runs.
Network-ready sharing rounds out a package aimed at cost-conscious teams that print in real volume every week: several desks feed one machine, the duplex unit turns long documents into half-paper stacks, and a 12,000-page cartridge means the supply conversation happens a few times a year instead of every month. For offices like that, the sensible stock is one cartridge in the machine and one on the shelf.

Which cartridge should you buy?
There is only one cartridge decision on this page — how many to keep around. A single cartridge already covers roughly 12,000 pages, so a small team may go a year on one box; the 2-pack simply guarantees the spare exists the day the installed cartridge fades mid-run. Shared machines in busier departments justify the bigger cartons: the cartridge is identical either way, so the multi-packs buy ordering convenience and a lower per-cartridge cost rather than a different product. Whichever size you pick, the part number to match is 1T02J00US0.
Chip, toner and everyday use
Installation is a slide-in swap; the FS-2020D recognizes the cartridge automatically, and a brief toner-distribution cycle after seating is normal. Because duplex is this model's default party trick, check the driver setting once — a workstation left on single-sided quietly doubles paper use without any warning on the page. When output starts to fade near the end of a cartridge, removing it and rocking it gently side to side levels the remaining toner for a few hundred more clean pages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which toner does the Kyocera FS-2020D use?
One black cartridge: the TK-342, Kyocera part number 1T02J00US0, rated for about 12,000 pages. In European documentation the same cartridge appears as the TK-340.
Does the FS-2020D need a separate drum unit?
No separate drum purchase is part of routine upkeep — the printer is built around Kyocera's long-life drum design, so scheduled attention stays at the toner cartridge.
Is the 2-pack a different cartridge from the single?
No. The TK342 2 Black carton holds two of the identical TK-342 cartridges; nothing about the cartridge changes. The same applies to the 3, 5 and 10-cartridge cartons listed on this page.
How long does one cartridge last in a shared office?
At the rated 12,000 pages, a team printing 1,000 pages a month gets about a year from one cartridge; a department printing 3,000 a month should expect roughly four months. Dense pages shorten both figures, since ratings assume about 5% coverage.
