Kyocera Genuine TK-1172 Black Toner Cartridge for ECOSYS M2040dn M2540dw M2640idw 7200 Pages

Genuine TK-1172 Black Toner Kit

The Kyocera TK-1172 is a genuine black toner cartridge built for the ECOSYS M2040dn, M2540dw and M2640idw laser printers. It supplies up to 7200 pages measured at ISO 19752 coverage. Offices that print high volumes of monochrome documents will value the consistent output and long intervals between replacements. Buyers who need colour output or own a different printer model cannot use this cartridge.

ISO 19752 Yield Standard

The quoted 7200-page yield follows the ISO 19752 test method, which uses a standard 5% coverage pattern. Real-world page counts will drop when printing dense text, graphics or heavy coverage pages. The cartridge contains no mercury, cadmium, lead, nickel or chromium VI compounds, meeting restricted-substance requirements. Environments that demand colour fidelity or photographic detail are outside the scope of this monochrome toner.

Drop-In Installation

Installation consists of opening the printer front cover, removing the empty unit and sliding the new TK-1172 into the same slot until it clicks. No tools or firmware updates are required. The most common issue is forgetting to peel the protective seal tape before insertion, which causes blank or streaked pages. A mismatched printer model will physically reject the cartridge or display a compatibility error.
