FS-920
At the head of Kyocera's compact personal-printer trio, the FS-920 is the model for individual users who print throughout the day and feel every slow page. It draws on the same economical black cartridge as its smaller siblings: the TK-112, cross-referenced to Kyocera part 1T02FV0US0 and rated at about 6,000 pages. That cartridge is the only toner the FS-920 uses, and its low cost per page is a large part of this printer's appeal.
The FS-920 earns its place at the top of the 720/820/920 family with pace and stamina rather than size — the small footprint still slips onto a desk, shelf or credenza, but the machine behind it is built for an all-day workload. For a professional whose printer is in near-constant use — contracts, correspondence, marked-up drafts — it is the most capable and most practical of the three, and it keeps the family's simple one-cartridge routine intact.

Which cartridge should you buy?
Every listing above is the same TK-112 cartridge at about 6,000 pages (ISO/IEC 19752), so choose by how hard the printer works. An all-day user will cycle a single cartridge quickly enough that the 3-pack is the calmer purchase — one installed, spares waiting, no midweek reorder. The 5-pack stretches that further and trims the per-cartridge cost for the heaviest desks. Kyocera's economy TK-112E (about 2,000 pages) exists for very light printing, but on a machine chosen for daily volume the standard cartridge is the rational default. Remember the printer's starter toner yields roughly 3,000 pages, so budget the first full cartridge earlier than the rating implies.
Chip, toner and everyday use
A chip in each TK-112 handles recognition and level reporting; seat a fresh cartridge with a firm push until it clicks home. Because the FS-920 is bought for throughput, treat the first low-toner warning as the moment to move the spare from drawer to printer queue — a personal machine this busy rarely gets a quiet hour for the swap. Fading pages near a cartridge's end respond to a gentle side-to-side rock, which spreads the remaining toner evenly. Keep spares sealed and flat, and let a cold cartridge from winter storage warm to room temperature before installing it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which toner does the Kyocera FS-920 use?
The TK-112 black cartridge (part 1T02FV0US0), about 6,000 pages. European documentation refers to the same cartridge as the TK-110, with the TK-110E as the economy variant.
What is the difference between the FS-920 and the FS-820?
The FS-920 is faster — 18 ppm against 16 ppm A4 — adds network connectivity and 32 MB of memory, and handles a higher monthly volume (15,000 pages maximum against 12,000). Both printers use the same TK-112 cartridge, so moving up strands no spare toner.
Does the FS-920 share toner with the rest of its family?
Yes. The FS-720, FS-820 and FS-920 all take the TK-112, which is why the cartridge is so easy to source — one spare covers any of the three.
Are these compatible cartridges covered by a warranty?
Yes — a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns stand behind every compatible TK-112 on this page.
