TASKalfa 300i
The TASKalfa 300i sits in the 30-page-per-minute color class, balancing speed and running cost for mid-size workgroups that need dependable color without flagship pricing, and its "i" badge brings the current interface and app platform. This page stocks the two color cartridges sold here as singles: cyan 1T02JZCUS0, ordered as TK-867C, and magenta 1T02JZBUS0, ordered as TK-867M — each rated for about 12,000 pages per ISO/IEC 19798. The family's yellow, TK-867Y, carries the same 12,000-page rating, and the machine's black cartridge is the TK-677, a different unit shared with the KM-2540 series.
Kyocera prints two numbering systems on this family, which trips up more purchase orders than any other detail: the short TK-867 name and the factory part numbers above describe the very same cartridges, so a quote written either way lands on the same box. Under its European numbering the same colors are the TK-865 series. The 300i also leans on Kyocera's long-life drum design, which keeps the drum out of the routine swap cycle and leaves toner as the regular consumable.
Toner Cartridges for TASKalfa 300i
| Cartridge | Color | Page Yield |
|---|---|---|
| 1T02JZCUS0 (TK-867C) | Cyan | ~12,000 pages |
| 1T02JZBUS0 (TK-867M) | Magenta | ~12,000 pages |
Yellow (TK-867Y) and black (TK-677) complete the machine's four channels; they are named here for reference because a 300i owner ordering by family will meet both numbers, but the listings on this page are the cyan and magenta singles above.
Which cartridge should you buy?
Buy the color the machine is asking for — nothing in this family forces a matched swap. Cyan and magenta drain at different rates depending on what a workgroup prints: sky-heavy presentations lean on cyan, while branded documents and charts lean on magenta. A workgroup that prints color daily should hold one spare of each stocked color, because a 12,000-page rating still empties quickly at real office coverage, which runs well above the 5% test standard. If your purchase order quotes factory numbers, match 1T02JZCUS0 to cyan and 1T02JZBUS0 to magenta.
Chip, toner and everyday use
These cartridges are chipped, and the 300i reads the chip as the cartridge seats; push it home firmly and give the machine a moment to register before closing panels or restarting jobs. Page ratings assume light coverage, so treat the on-screen gauge — not the box number — as your reorder signal. A cartridge stored in its sealed bag, flat and out of direct sunlight, keeps its toner evenly distributed and ready; a gentle side-to-side rock before installation evens it further.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the TASKalfa 300i's color toner the same as the 250ci and 300ci use?
The color side is shared: the 250ci, 300ci and 300i all take TK-867C, TK-867M and TK-867Y. The black differs — the 300i runs the TK-677, while the 250ci and 300ci use a TK-867K — so never order black by family name alone.
My order form says 1T02JZCUS0 but the box says TK-867C. Did I get the right cartridge?
Yes. They are two numbers for one cartridge: 1T02JZCUS0 is Kyocera's factory part number for the cyan unit sold here as TK-867C. The magenta pair follows the same pattern — 1T02JZBUS0 and TK-867M are the same unit.
How many pages will one TK-867 color cartridge actually print?
About 12,000 pages at the ISO/IEC 19798 test coverage. Full-color documents with photos or solid backgrounds use several times the test coverage, so real-world totals land lower; the machine's own remaining-toner reading is the number to trust.
Does the TASKalfa 300i need its drum replaced with the toner?
No. The 300i is built around Kyocera's long-life drum technology, so routine service is a toner swap only. That design is a large part of why the family's running cost stays low over the machine's life.
