TASKalfa 4501i

Kyocera TASKalfa 4501i printer

Kyocera's TASKalfa 4501i is the refreshed edition of the 4500i: same chassis, same 45-ppm pace, updated internals — and the same toner. It takes the TK6307 black toner cartridge (Kyocera part 1T02LH0US0; TK-6305 in Europe), rated for approximately 35,000 pages per ISO/IEC 19752. Offices standardizing on the i-series get continuity across generations: one toner SKU covers both editions of the 45-class machine.

The 4501i exists for departments that want the newest generation's efficiency gains without reworking anything around the machine. High-volume black-and-white output without the drama: the supply routine your team already knows from the TASKalfa 4500i carries straight over, the spare on the shelf fits, and the reorder point stays where it was. This page keeps the compatible cartridges for the 4501i ready in the pack sizes a 45-ppm machine actually consumes.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Because the cartridge and its 35,000-page rating carried over unchanged, buying advice for the 4501i is fleet advice. Run one machine and a 2-pack keeps you one change ahead at all times. Run the 4501i beside its predecessor — or beside any other model in this family — and the 5-pack or 10-pack turns toner into a single line item for the whole floor. There is no higher-yield variant to hunt for; the cartridge is already the long-life option, so spend the decision on pack size and spare discipline instead.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Toner changes on the 4501i mirror the 4500i routine exactly, which is the point of the refresh. Before installing, rock the cartridge gently to level the toner after its journey; after installing, let the machine complete its calibration before judging print quality. If a warning lingers, reseat the cartridge once with a firm, square push. Keep the next cartridge sealed in its carton in the same room as the machine — a spare stored across the building tends to become a delay, not a spare.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the TASKalfa 4501i use the same toner as the 4500i?

Yes. The TASKalfa 4500i and 4501i use the identical TK6307 black toner cartridge. The 4501i is the newer generation; toner, yield and 45-ppm speed are the same.

Which toner should I order for the 4501i?

The TK6307 cartridge (Kyocera part 1T02LH0US0), rated for approximately 35,000 pages. In European listings the same cartridge appears as the TK-6305.

Will cartridges bought for our older family machines fit the 4501i?

If they are TK6307 cartridges, yes — the TASKalfa 3500i, TASKalfa 3501i, TASKalfa 5500i and TASKalfa 5501i all share this cartridge with the 4501i.

How long does a cartridge last at 45 ppm?

The rating is about 35,000 pages at 5% coverage; the clock speed of the machine does not change the rating, only how fast you arrive at it. A department printing 12,000 pages a month should expect roughly a quarter per cartridge.
