FS-C5150DN

The Kyocera FS-C5150DN brings dependable A4 color laser printing to the workgroup in a standard office footprint — no A3 bulk — with automatic duplex and network connectivity built in, exactly as the DN suffix promises. Its toner is the four-cartridge TK-582 family: black TK-582K (factory number 1T02KT0US0, about 3,500 pages) and cyan TK-582C (1T02KTCUS0), magenta TK-582M (1T02KTBUS0) and yellow TK-582Y (1T02KTAUS0) at about 2,800 pages each, per ISO/IEC 19798. The black cartridge is also cataloged without the dash as TK582K.

This printer was aimed at a familiar requirement: everyday color — proposals, charts, marked-up drafts, the occasional brochure proof — produced inside the office, on a machine sized like an ordinary workgroup laser. The DN specification removes the usual compromises, since two-sided printing and Ethernet sharing arrive standard rather than as options to price out. Feeding it stays predictable for the same reason: four independent cartridges with honest ratings, each replaced on its own schedule, so the cost of a color page never hides inside a combined unit.

Kyocera sells this same family in Europe as the TK-580 series; the TK-582 listings above are its North American form.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Most of the time, buy the single the printer asks for. The four cartridges are independent, colors deplete unevenly, and black — rated highest at about 3,500 pages — usually needs attention first in text-heavy offices, which is why a black 2-pack exists for this model. The colors also come bundled as the TK582C, TK582M and TK582Y 3-color set for restocking all three at once, and the full 4-color and 5-color sets suit a complete refresh or a new shelf. The premium set carries the same ratings in the premium-grade compatible build. Every option is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Swap one cartridge at a time and let the printer read each new unit as it seats; a cartridge that is not recognized usually needs removing and reseating with a firm push. Color ratings assume standard ISO coverage — documents with large color areas, charts and photos will work through the color cartridges well inside their 2,800-page rating, while black carries the everyday text load. When a color begins to fade or streak, rock that cartridge gently and print a few pages to settle the toner. Keep spare cartridges sealed and flat, and keep at least the black on hand: it is the one an office always runs out of on a deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner does the FS-C5150DN use?

The TK-582 family: TK-582K black at about 3,500 pages, and TK-582C, TK-582M and TK-582Y at about 2,800 pages each. Each cartridge is replaced independently as it runs out — there is no combined color unit.

Is the TK-580 the same as the TK-582?

Yes, regionally speaking: TK-580 is the European name for this toner family and TK-582 is the North American name for the same cartridges. Documentation written for one market uses the other market's number, but the cartridges stocked here are the ones this printer takes.

Does it print double-sided and connect to our network?

Both, as standard. The D in the model name is automatic duplex printing and the N is a built-in Ethernet connection, so the FS-C5150DN works as a shared workgroup printer out of the box.

One color is printing weakly while the others look fine. Why?

Each color has its own cartridge, so a weak color is that cartridge talking: it is either running low or its toner has settled. Remove it, rock it gently side to side, and refit it. If the weakness returns quickly, that color is at the end of its rated life and should be replaced on its own.
