FS-C2026MFP Plus

The Kyocera FS-C2026MFP Plus is the enhanced factory configuration of the FS-C2026MFP color multifunction platform — the same 20-ppm-class engine, sold with extra paper capacity or finishing hardware for offices that kept emptying the standard tray. Because the engine is unchanged, it feeds from the same TK-592 toner family as the rest of the line: black comes from the TK-592K, which Kyocera numbers 1T02KV0US0 and rates at roughly 7,000 pages, while the three colors — 1T02KVCUS0 (TK-592C), 1T02KVBUS0 (TK-592M) and 1T02KVAUS0 (TK-592Y) — are each rated around 5,000 pages per ISO/IEC 19798. A carton carrying either the TK-592 name or the matching 1T02KV number holds the same toner.

Pick the Plus when the plain 2026 layout was right for the team but the hardware around it was not: bigger stacks of letterhead, longer uninterrupted runs, fewer mid-job walks to the supply closet. Driver settings, address books and existing spare cartridges all carry straight over from the standard model, so the upgrade changes the paper handling, not the daily routine of the people using it.

Toner Cartridges for FS-C2026MFP Plus

Which cartridge should you buy?

Start from how the machine is actually fed. If all four cartridges are nearing empty together — common after a heavy quarter of color reports — a four-color set replaces everything in one order and one swap session. When only a single color has run down, buy just that cartridge; the four units are fully independent, so there is no reason to retire a half-full black cartridge because the yellow gave out. Offices printing mostly text should watch black first: it outlasts each color at roughly 7,000 pages, yet it also does most of the work, so a spare black on the shelf is cheap insurance against a stalled morning.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Each cartridge carries a chip the printer reads on installation; seat the unit firmly until it clicks and the machine should register it without menu diving. Page ratings assume about 5% coverage, so brochure-heavy work empties a cartridge sooner than the headline figure suggests. If output fades near the end of a cartridge, rocking it gently side to side redistributes the remaining toner and often recovers a few dozen clean pages — enough to finish the job while the replacement ships. Store spares flat, sealed and out of direct sunlight. Compatible cartridges on this page carry a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the FS-C2026MFP Plus use the same toner as the standard FS-C2026MFP?

Yes. The Plus is a configuration variant, not a different engine, and both machines run the TK-592 family — TK-592K black plus the TK-592C, TK-592M and TK-592Y colors. Spares bought for the standard model fit the Plus unchanged.

Which number should I quote when reordering — TK-592K or 1T02KV0US0?

Either identifies the same black cartridge. Kyocera prints the factory part number 1T02KV0US0 on the carton and the TK-592K designation in the printer documentation; the listings on this page carry both so you can match whichever is in front of you.

Can I replace just the yellow cartridge when it runs out?

Yes. The four cartridges swap independently, and the printer keeps working with a single fresh unit. Order the 1T02KVAUS0 (TK-592Y) on its own rather than a full set whenever the other three still show healthy levels.

Are the color cartridges really rated lower than black?

They are: each color is rated near 5,000 pages against roughly 7,000 for black, both measured per ISO/IEC 19798. In practice, coverage decides — a month of full-color flyers can drain a color cartridge faster than its rating implies.
