Kyocera TK-1174 toner cartridges are compatible with:
- Kyocera ECOSYS M2040dn
- Kyocera ECOSYS M2540dn
- Kyocera ECOSYS M2640idw
These A4 monochrome multifunction printers combine printing, copying and scanning. Although their features differ, all three use TK-1174 black toner for their printed output.
For Kyocera M2040dn toner and Kyocera M2540dn toner replacements, choose the TK-1174 code. The same cartridge is also the correct choice when purchasing Kyocera M2640idw toner.
Before placing an order, check the full model number on your machine. This is particularly useful when purchasing for another department or taking over responsibility for office supplies. Our Printer cartridge Finder can help you match the printer with its replacement cartridge.
The genuine TK-1174 cartridge is manufactured by Kyocera for the specified machines. It suits customers who prefer original manufacturer products and organisations whose purchasing policies require genuine toner.
A compatible TK-1174 cartridge is manufactured by a third party for the same printer models. Its lower purchase price can be useful for offices that replace toner regularly, particularly where the multifunction printer handles both everyday printing and frequent copying.
Price is one part of the decision. Consider any workplace requirements and review the individual product specifications and applicable warranty or return terms. Both options are listed at up to 7,200 pages, but that shared rating does not mean they are identical in construction or performance.
If several people place supplies orders, record which option your business has approved. Keeping that information with the printer model and cartridge code makes future purchases more straightforward.
The genuine Kyocera TK-1174 is rated for up to 7,200 A4 pages in accordance with ISO/IEC 19752. The compatible cartridge is also listed at up to 7,200 pages. This figure gives you a reference for comparing products and estimating replacement needs.
Your actual output depends on document content and printing conditions. A short letter generally consumes less toner than a page filled with shaded tables, graphics or dense text. Workplaces using the same printer can therefore have different replacement schedules.
Copying also contributes to toner consumption. If staff regularly duplicate forms or prepare paper handouts, those pages should be included when planning supplies. Scanning documents to digital files does not use toner unless a printed copy is also produced.
Rather than relying on the stated yield alone, note how long previous cartridges have lasted under your normal workload. That history can help you decide when to reorder and whether a spare is needed.
To estimate toner cost per page, divide the cartridge price by its stated 7,200-page yield. Applying the same calculation to genuine and compatible products gives you a consistent starting point for comparing their purchase costs.
The estimate covers toner only. Paper, electricity and printer maintenance are separate expenses, and actual toner cost per page will vary with the output achieved.
When buying Toner Cartridges for several machines, compare each printer’s supplies separately. A multifunction used for frequent copying may consume toner faster than a machine handling occasional letters, even when both cartridges have similar stated capacities.
The M2640idw and M2635dn have similar model names, but they require different cartridges. TK-1174 is the replacement for the M2040dn, M2540dn and M2640idw.
The M2635dn and M2735dw use Kyocera TK-1184 toner. TK-1174 should not be selected as a higher-capacity alternative for those machines.
Match the complete printer model rather than using a few digits as a shortcut. Where both cartridge types are stored in one cupboard, labelling each box with its intended printer can help prevent mix-ups.
If your workplace runs a combination of M2040dn, M2540dn and M2640idw printers, the shared cartridge code allows replacements to be allocated wherever they are needed. Consider the combined workload when deciding how many to order.
One spare may be sufficient for a lightly used office, while several busy machines may require more frequent purchasing. Check current product availability and allow time for delivery before a period of increased printing or copying.
Keep unopened cartridges in their original packaging and follow the supplied storage instructions. Store them away from excessive heat and direct sunlight, with the cartridge code visible for staff collecting a replacement.
These ECOSYS models use a toner container that is separate from the drum assembly. During a routine toner change, you replace the TK-1174 container while the drum remains in the printer.
You do not need to purchase a drum simply because the toner has run out. Follow the machine’s maintenance messages and manufacturer instructions when another component requires attention.
If streaks or faded output continue after fitting replacement toner, consult the printer manual for troubleshooting guidance. Cleaning or maintenance may be required rather than another cartridge.
CartridgesDirect has supplied printer consumables to Australian homes and businesses since 2006. Our Australian-based customer support team can help identify the correct cartridge when you are buying for an unfamiliar machine or checking supplies for several locations.
