Kyocera FS-4100DN Toner Cartridges
Your FS-4100DN uses the TK-3114 series black toner cartridges, supplying high-capacity monochrome output for busy office setups since Dec 2012. As demonstrated by our 4.8 Google rating, we are committed to providing premium consumable cartridges that deliver crisp text across extensive print runs. High-volume document workflows mean cartridges are typically ordered in multi-packs to avoid workflow downtime during mid-project print jobs.
Page Output Expectations in High-Volume Workflows
Standard TK-3114 cartridges deliver approximately 15,500 printed pages under standard ISO/IEC 19752 testing methods for monochrome electrophotographic printers. Real-world page coverage varies depending on document density, font bolding, and graphics coverage across large print queues.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TK-3114 | Standard | Black | 15,500 | $0.012 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Options
Third-party TK-3114 cartridges provide significant cost savings for high-volume monochrome printing while maintaining consistent text sharpness across large document stacks. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my FS-4100DN show a non-genuine toner prompt when using compatible TK-3114 cartridges?
Kyocera firmware periodically checks toner microchips to flag third-party consumables. Pressing and holding the 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons simultaneously for several seconds overrides the alert prompt, allowing seamless operation with compatible cartridges without affecting print performance.
Will using compatible TK-3114 toner cause background shading or grey hazing on pages?
Grey hazing occurs when toner charge properties do not match the drum unit requirements. High-grade compatible TK-3114 cartridges are formulated specifically for Kyocera ceramic drum systems, preventing excess toner buildup on the drum roller surface.
Does changing the TK-3114 toner cartridge replace the main imaging drum?
No, the FS-4100DN uses a long-life ceramic drum unit separate from the TK-3114 toner cartridge. Replacing the TK-3114 only replenishes the black powder supply, leaving the high-durability drum inside the printer for its multi-hundred-thousand page lifecycle.
