P6021CDN

The P6021cdn is Kyocera's P-series take on the compact color workgroup printer: automatic duplex and Ethernet networking standard, sharing its engine and toner set with the FS-C5150DN. It feeds on the TK-582 color family, and each cartridge answers to two names — a full Kyocera factory code and a short TK-582 code. Black is 1T02KT0US0, also listed as TK-582K or TK582K, rated about 3,500 pages. Cyan is 1T02KTCUS0 (TK-582C / TK582C), magenta is 1T02KTBUS0 (TK-582M / TK582M) and yellow is 1T02KTAUS0 (TK-582Y / TK582Y), the three colors rated about 2,800 pages each.

The P-series positioning streamlines the lineup for buyers who want proven color performance without sifting through overlapping model names — everyday office color, simplified. The dual naming on its cartridges has the same spirit once you know the trick: the long 1T02 codes are Kyocera's factory part numbers, the TK-582 codes are the shelf names, and the two listing lines on this page are the same cartridges wearing both. Order by whichever code is printed on your empty cartridge; you will land on the right unit either way.

Toner Cartridges for P6021CDN

Which cartridge should you buy?

Match the purchase to the way your office actually prints. Mostly documents with the odd color chart? Black runs out well ahead of the colors, so the black single or 2 pack is the standing order, with colors replaced individually as the printer calls for them. A genuinely color-heavy workload — marketing pieces, client handouts — drains the set together, and the 4 color set (in either listing line) is the cleanest full refresh at the best per-cartridge price. The 3 color set fits the middle case where black was recently changed but all three colors are low, and the 5 color set adds a spare black to a complete refresh for offices that never want to think about toner twice.

Chip, toner and everyday use

These compatible cartridges are chipped so the P6021cdn recognizes each color and reports its level honestly. When one color runs out, the printer names the slot — match it to the code on the cartridge, slide the new unit in until it clicks, and you are done; the other three cartridges keep whatever life they have left. A nearly empty color can sometimes be coaxed through a short job with a gentle side-to-side shake, but plan the replacement the same day. Keep spares sealed in a cool drawer, and remember that ratings assume about 5% coverage: full-bleed color pages use toner far faster than letters do.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner codes does the P6021cdn use?

Four cartridges: black 1T02KT0US0 / TK-582K (~3,500 pages) and cyan 1T02KTCUS0, magenta 1T02KTBUS0 and yellow 1T02KTAUS0 (~2,800 pages each), all from the TK-582 family.

Is the TK-582 the same family as the TK-580 I see in manuals?

TK-580 is the European designation for this cartridge family; TK-582 is the US naming, and it is the TK-582 stock that fits and ships for this printer here.

Do I have to replace all four cartridges together?

No. Each color is its own cartridge and can be replaced on its own schedule. Sets are simply the economical way to refresh several slots at once.

Why are there two different listing styles for the same cartridges?

One line is cataloged under Kyocera's full factory codes (the 1T02 numbers) and the other under the short TK-582 codes. They are the same cartridges; buy by whichever code you have in hand.
