Kyocera Mita FS-C5250DN Toner – TK-592 Compatible Cartridges

FS-C5250DN

Kyocera FS-C5250DN printer

Not every office needs a scanner on top of its printer. The Kyocera FS-C5250DN is the print-only member of the family — an A4 color laser from the 25-page-per-minute class with duplex and Ethernet fitted as standard, built for shared color output and nothing else. It drinks from the same supply line as its multifunction siblings, the TK-592 cartridge family, which you will also find written as TK592 without the dash. Four separate cartridges do the work: black TK-592K (Kyocera part 1T02KV0US0, also listed as TK592K) at roughly 7,000 pages, and the three colors — cyan TK-592C (1T02KVCUS0, TK592C), magenta TK-592M (1T02KVBUS0, TK592M) and yellow TK-592Y (1T02KVAUS0, TK592Y) — at about 5,000 pages apiece per ISO/IEC 19798.

The buying logic here is refreshingly plain: if your team prints color all day but scans almost never, the multifunction premium buys you a document feeder that gathers dust. The FS-C5250DN spends the budget on the print engine instead and parks on the network where everyone can reach it. Supplies stay predictable because it shares its cartridges with a wide family of Kyocera color machines, so the shelf you stock for this printer is the same shelf its siblings draw from — no orphaned toner when hardware changes.

Toner Cartridges for FS-C5250DN

Which cartridge should you buy?

Watch which cartridge the printer asks for first — on a print-only color machine in a typical office it is black, because letters, reports and forms dominate the queue. The TK-592K carries a 7,000-page rating against 5,000 for each color, yet it still tends to empty first. A sensible pattern is to keep black in depth (the two, three and five black packs above exist for exactly that) and to reorder colors one at a time as the panel warns. Take the full four-color set when you are setting up a new shelf or when two or more cartridges are low together. All cartridges here are compatibles covered by a 1-year warranty with 1-year returns.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Two habits keep this printer out of trouble. First, when a color runs low, give the cartridge a gentle rock from side to side before you decide it is finished — toner settles, and redistributing it often buys dozens of extra pages while the replacement ships. Second, let the printer complete its calibration cycle after a swap; interrupting it is how streaks and off colors get blamed on a healthy cartridge. Yield figures assume the ISO test coverage, so graphics-heavy departments should budget below the headline numbers and text-heavy ones can expect to meet them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the FS-C5250DN a multifunction device?

No — it only prints. There is no scanner, copier or fax on this model. If you need those functions on the same toner family, look at the FS-C2026MFP, which uses the identical cartridges.

Which toner cartridges fit the FS-C5250DN?

The TK-592 family: a black cartridge rated near 7,000 pages and cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges rated near 5,000 pages each. In Kyocera's European catalog the same family is labeled TK-590; the US listings on this page are the ones to order.

What do the D and N in the name stand for?

Duplex and network. Two-sided printing is built in rather than optional, and the Ethernet port lets the whole office share the printer — which is the entire point of a print-only color machine.

Can I keep printing if one color is empty?

The printer will ask for the empty cartridge to be replaced; the four colors work as a set, so an empty slot stops color output even if the other three are full. Keeping one spare of the color you use most is cheap insurance against a stalled deadline.
