KM-2560

One notch above the KM-2540, the KM-2560 offers more speed for the same departmental footprint, taking on heavier copy and print queues without breaking stride. It feeds on the TK-677 black toner cartridge — Kyocera part 1T02H00US0 — rated for up to 20,000 pages between swaps. European documentation calls the same cartridge the TK-675.

The appeal is continuity: a department that knows the KM-2540's workflow gets the same routine with more pace, including robust paper handling suited to shared-floor use. When the smaller machine's speed starts feeling like the bottleneck but nothing else about the workflow needs to change, this is the step up that changes the least while helping the most.

Which cartridge should you buy?

The TK-677 is a toner-only cartridge — the drum on this model is a separate, long-life component — so a swap changes only the toner and takes a moment. At up to 20,000 pages per cartridge, even a shared floor changes toner infrequently. A single cartridge suits one machine with a spare held in reserve; the 2-pack keeps that second cartridge ready for the busiest months; and the 5-pack options fit floors running several TK-677 models from a single supply shelf.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Because the drum stays in the machine, print quality depends on keeping each new cartridge's chip contacts clean and seating it fully — most recognition complaints trace back to a cartridge that is not quite home. Ratings assume roughly 5% coverage, so a floor printing dense documents will see fewer pages per cartridge. When output fades, rocking the cartridge gently side to side redistributes the remaining toner and usually carries the queue through to a planned swap rather than an emergency one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner does the KM-2560 use?

The TK-677 black toner cartridge, Kyocera part 1T02H00US0. It is the only toner supply this model takes.

How many pages does the TK-677 print?

Up to approximately 20,000 pages, measured per ISO/IEC 19752 at standard coverage. Denser-than-average printing returns fewer pages.

Does the KM-2560 need a separate drum replacement?

The drum is a separate long-life component on this model, and the TK-677 is a toner-only cartridge. Routine supply changes mean replacing just the toner when it runs low — the drum is not part of the cartridge swap.
