TASKalfa 3510i
When a department outgrows the 30-page-per-minute class, the TASKalfa 3510i is the step up that does not force a new supplies cupboard. This A3 monochrome multifunction system sits in the 35-page-per-minute class and feeds on a single black cartridge, the TK7207 (Kyocera part number 1T02NL0US0), rated for 35,000 pages. European catalogs list the same toner family as TK-7205; the cartridge stocked for US machines is the TK7207 in the table below.
Departments graduate to this machine when peak-hour queues start forming at slower models and deadlines begin to slip. Because it belongs to the familiar Kyocera "i" series, staff moving up from a smaller TASKalfa meet the same interface and workflow habits, so the faster engine does not come with a retraining bill. It is a full-size system for high-volume floors that print, copy and scan through A3 (11x17) as well as letter and legal.

Which cartridge should you buy?
There is only one cartridge to choose here, so the real decision is how many to keep on the shelf. A single TK7207 already covers roughly 35,000 pages, which for most departments means months between changes. Offices that stock centrally for several machines, or that simply never want a deadline held up by an empty tray warning, do better with the 5-pack or 10-pack: the cost per page drops as the pack size grows, and a 35,000-page cartridge in reserve is cheap insurance against a stalled workgroup. Lighter floors can stay with singles and reorder as the page counter climbs.
Chip, toner and everyday use
Each cartridge carries a chip the machine reads on installation; if a new unit is not recognized, remove it, check that every piece of packing material and the sealing strip are fully out, and reseat it firmly until it clicks. Yield figures assume about 5% page coverage, so dense A3 work will finish a cartridge sooner than the rating suggests. Thanks to Kyocera's long-life drum design there is no separate drum to schedule or stock — toner is the only routine consumable — and spares keep best stored flat, out of direct sunlight, until the day they are needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which toner does the TASKalfa 3510i use?
It uses the Kyocera TK7207 black toner cartridge, part number 1T02NL0US0 — the US version of the TK-7205 family — rated for 35,000 pages per ISO/IEC 19752.
Is the TASKalfa 3510i an A3 printer?
Yes. It handles A3 (11x17) along with letter and legal sizes, which makes it a full-size multifunction system for departments that mix tabloid sheets with everyday office paper.
Does the TASKalfa 3510i need a separate drum unit?
No. The long-life drum is built to last the life of the machine under normal use, so routine supply orders stop at toner.
How long will one cartridge last in a busy department?
At the rated 35,000 pages, a single cartridge carries a high-volume floor a long way; heavy coverage and large-format jobs will bring the change date closer, which is why busy departments keep a multi-pack in reserve.
