KM-3060
At the top of the KM range sits the KM-3060, the fastest of Kyocera Mita's departmental monochrome copiers in this family and the model chosen when sheer volume decides the purchase. For all that output it asks for just one supply: the TK-677 black toner, ordered under Kyocera part number 1T02H00US0 and rated for up to 20,000 pages per cartridge. European lists know the identical cartridge as the TK-675. High-volume copying and network printing both draw on the same box.
A flagship departmental machine earns its place by never being the bottleneck. The KM-3060 was specced for floors where copy and print queues form at peak hours, and its long-yield toner is part of that equation: fewer supply interruptions, longer uninterrupted runs. Because the cartridge is shared with the smaller KM models below it, a mixed fleet keeps one toner on the shelf even though the machines themselves span a wide speed range.

Which cartridge should you buy?
On a machine bought for volume, the pack decision is really about uptime. A single TK-677 covers roughly 20,000 pages, which a busy floor can work through faster than expected, so the 2 Pack is the practical minimum: one cartridge in the machine, one on the shelf. Departments that also run the KM-3040 or smaller KM siblings should look at the 4 Pack and 5 Pack, because the same box feeds every model in this family and bulk buying lowers the cost per page across the whole fleet. The Premium Quality 5 Pack suits offices that standardize on the premium line. Avoid letting the flagship sit empty while a shipment is in transit — that is the one outcome the pack sizes exist to prevent.
Chip, toner and everyday use
Toner management on a high-volume copier works best as a routine rather than a reaction. Check the supply gauge during a weekly walk-past, rotate shelf stock so the oldest cartridge goes in first, and store spares flat in their sealed packaging away from heat. The TK-677 is toner only — the KM-3060's drum is a separate long-life part — so swaps are quick and clean. When the new cartridge is seated properly, the machine recognizes it through its chip and clears the low-toner state on its own. Page ratings assume standard coverage per ISO/IEC 19752; heavy copy work will cycle cartridges sooner than the rating suggests.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which toner does the KM-3060 use?
The Kyocera TK-677 black cartridge, part number 1T02H00US0. It is the only supply this page sells for the KM-3060, in box counts from a single cartridge up to five.
Is the TK-677 the same cartridge as the TK-675?
Yes. TK-675 is the European designation and TK-677 the US designation for the same 20,000-page black toner. Order by the US code for a North American KM-3060.
Can I use the same spare cartridge for a KM-3040?
Yes — the /kyocera-mita/km-series/km-3040/ runs on the identical TK-677, as do the /kyocera-mita/km-series/km-2540/ and /kyocera-mita/km-series/km-2560/. One shelf stock genuinely covers the family.
How long does a TK-677 last in a high-volume office?
Judge it in pages, not weeks: up to about 20,000 pages at standard coverage. A floor printing several thousand pages a week will cycle cartridges regularly, which is exactly why the multi-pack options exist.
