KM-3040

Kyocera KM-3040 printer

The KM-3040 is a departmental monochrome copier from Kyocera Mita's KM generation, placed in the 30-page class and built for mid-size offices where several people share one machine. It runs on a single black supply: Kyocera part number 1T02H00US0, the cartridge most operators know by its short code, the TK-677. This is a high-yield toner rated for up to 20,000 pages, so changes are infrequent even when the machine works all day. European documentation calls the same cartridge the TK-675; the US code to order by is the one in the table below.

In a department, a shared copier fails everyone at once when it stops, and the KM-3040 was engineered in an era when these machines were expected to run reliably for years with minimal intervention. Steady throughput matters more than headline features: multiple users send copy and print work to the same unit all day, and a long-life toner that keeps pace with that rhythm is part of the design. One cartridge spec covers the machine's whole working life, which keeps the supply closet simple.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Every option above is the same TK-677 cartridge; only the box count changes. A single cartridge suits a department whose KM-3040 is a backup machine, but most shared units deserve at least the 2 Pack: when a copier serves a whole team, the cost of an empty machine is measured in stalled work, not in toner. Offices that run this model alongside its KM-2560 or KM-3060 siblings can standardize on the 4 Pack or 5 Pack and pull from one shelf stock for all three. The Premium Quality 5 Pack is the same fit and rating in the premium line. Whichever box you choose, keep one sealed cartridge in reserve — at departmental volumes, a low-toner warning can turn into an empty cartridge quickly.

Chip, toner and everyday use

The TK-677 is a toner-only cartridge: the drum in the KM-3040 is a separate long-life component, so a toner change never means replacing the drum with it. Seat the new cartridge firmly until it locks, and the machine's chip recognition should register the fresh supply without menu work. Yield figures are rated per ISO/IEC 19752 at standard coverage, so dense copy jobs will land below the headline number. If output fades near the end of a cartridge, removing it and rocking it gently side to side redistributes the remaining toner and often buys enough pages to finish the day's run while the spare goes in at a quieter moment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner does the KM-3040 use?

It uses the Kyocera TK-677 black toner cartridge, factory part number 1T02H00US0. The same cartridge is listed in Europe as the TK-675, but the US listings on this page are the ones to order for a North American machine.

How many pages does one TK-677 print?

Up to about 20,000 pages, rated per ISO/IEC 19752. Real output depends on coverage: text-heavy departmental copying lands near the rating, while dense forms and graphics pull it down.
