Our compatible WT-8500 offers:

• Same dimensions and capacity as OEM
• Precise fit with no modification required
• Durable construction to prevent leaks
• 40% savings versus Kyocera original
• Reliable performance with proper waste collection

While we recommend OEM for maximum compatibility, our compatible version provides excellent performance at a lower cost.

In the United States, using compatible consumables does not automatically void your printer warranty under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. However:

• Kyocera may deny warranty claims if they can prove the part caused damage
• We've sold thousands with no reported warranty issues
• Our container is designed to be safe for your printer

For critical environments, we recommend consulting your service contract.

Installation is simple and identical to OEM:

1. Open the printer's front cover
2. Locate the waste toner container near the toner cartridges
3. Remove the full container by pulling straight out
4. Unpack the new container (remove any protective materials)
5. Insert the new container until it clicks into place
6. Close the printer cover

The printer should automatically recognize the new container.

If your printer doesn't recognize the replacement container:

1. Ensure all protective materials are removed
2. Check that the container is fully seated
3. Try resetting the waste toner counter in service mode
4. Power cycle the printer

If issues persist, contact us immediately for replacement under warranty.

For proper disposal:

• Check local regulations for toner disposal
• Seal the container before disposal
• Consider recycling programs for printer consumables
• Do not attempt to empty and reuse - this creates mess and potential health hazards

Many office supply stores offer toner recycling services.
