FS-720

Kyocera FS-720 printer

The FS-720 is Kyocera's no-nonsense answer to personal monochrome printing: a compact desktop printer with no network frills and no multifunction hardware inflating the price, just consistent, sharp black-and-white pages for the individual desk. It takes a single black toner, the TK-112, Kyocera part 1T02FV0US0, rated at about 6,000 pages, and nothing else. Small, quiet and genuinely inexpensive to run, it is the kind of printer that gets bought for one person, set up in minutes, and then ignored for months at a time because there is nothing about it that demands attention.

The honesty of the FS-720 is that it refuses jobs it was not built for. It will not scan your contracts or copy your forms; for that, the same cartridge family offers multifunction models like the FS-1016MFP, which runs on this identical toner. Owners who print at a personal pace will find the 6,000-page rating stretches a long way, and the cartridge's low cost is part of why these little machines stay in service for years. One thing to know at the start: the starter toner supplied with the device yields roughly 3,000 pages, so the first full-size cartridge is the one that sets the machine's real rhythm.

Which cartridge should you buy?

For a personal printer, the single TK-112 is almost always the right purchase: roughly 6,000 pages is a long supply at one desk, and there is no virtue in a shelf of spares for a machine only one person uses. The multi-packs earn their keep in homes and small offices where several desks run family models on the same cartridge, or where the person ordering would rather stock once and forget toner for a year. Kyocera also offers the TK-112E, an economy fill of about 2,000 pages, but at personal volumes the standard cartridge's longer life is worth more than the smaller fill's lower entry price. Every compatible cartridge on this page is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.

Chip, toner and everyday use

A one-cartridge printer has the simplest supply routine in printing: the chip reports the level, output eventually fades, and one swap restores everything. When pages first go light, removing the cartridge and rocking it gently side to side redistributes the toner inside and often returns clean output for a good while longer. Yields assume about 5% page coverage, so a desk printing mostly letters and emails will track the rating, while heavy reports will not. Keep the spare sealed in a drawer away from sunlight and heat, and the FS-720 will go back to being the appliance you never think about.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner does the FS-720 use?

The TK-112 black cartridge, Kyocera part 1T02FV0US0, rated for about 6,000 pages per ISO/IEC 19752. It is the printer's only consumable.

Is the FS-720 a printer or a multifunction device?

It is a printer only, with no scan or copy hardware. If you need those functions on the same cartridge, the FS-1016MFP uses the identical TK-112, so a spare bought for one machine fits the other.

What is the TK-112E I see mentioned for this printer?

It is an economy version of the cartridge with a smaller fill of roughly 2,000 pages. This page stocks the full-size TK-112, which suits most owners better because it lasts about three times as long between changes.

Why did my first cartridge finish well before 6,000 pages?

The cartridge packed with the printer is a starter fill of about 3,000 pages. Once a standard retail TK-112 goes in, the full roughly 6,000-page rating applies from then on.
