KM-2540
From Kyocera's Mita-era lineup, the KM-2540 is a floor-standing monochrome copier built for departmental duty in offices with centralized document workflows — the hub machine everyone walks to. It takes a single high-capacity cartridge, the TK-677 black toner, also listed under Kyocera's US part number 1T02H00US0, so either code on a box means the same 20,000-page toner.
A straightforward workhorse for businesses that still run a central copier day in and day out: copying and network printing flow through the one machine, and the cartridge is sized to match that appetite for volume, so supply changes stay rare events rather than weekly chores.

Which cartridge should you buy?
At up to 20,000 pages per cartridge, even a central copier goes a long way on one unit — but when it does run out, the whole department feels it. That is the argument for the multi-packs and for always holding one spare: the 2-pack covers the typical office, while the larger packs suit sites that would rather place one toner order and be done for the year. The TK-677 is a toner-only cartridge, so every purchase goes entirely into pages, not into replacing parts that are still serviceable.
Chip, toner and everyday use
The drum on this model is a separate, long-life component — when toner runs low you replace just the toner, and the swap is quick enough to do between jobs. Yields are rated per ISO/IEC 19752 at about 5% coverage, so plan on fewer pages if your office copies dense, dark originals all day. Let the machine register a new cartridge fully before sending a long run, and store spare cartridges flat in their packaging, away from heat and sunlight.
