For B-end consumables wholesalers, document store maintenance technicians, and government-enterprise procurement specialists, quickly finding fully compatible Printer & Copier Consumables and Accessories for downstream clients has always been the core link that affects business efficiency and customer satisfaction. The traditional model selection method relies on thick OEM part number manuals, which requires checking the equipment model against the complicated SKU lists provided by suppliers one by one. The process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also extremely error-prone. Once incompatible accessories are procured, the consequences range from delaying the maintenance progress of clients' equipment, causing return and exchange logistics costs, to even losing core customers.


Targeting this industry pain point, the visualized model selection retrievable tool launched on the TMS platform completely abandons the traditional mode that relies on memorizing OEM part numbers. With only 3 steps and no professional background knowledge required, users can quickly and accurately locate compatible general Printer & Copier Consumables and accessories, bringing model selection efficiency to a whole new level.



Core Value: Say goodbye to tedious checking, realize one-click accurate compatibility matching

The core of TMS's visualized model selection system lies in intuitive operation and accurate data. The platform has built a complete underlying compatibility database through real-machine verification tests, which covers the corresponding relationship between hundreds of thousands of equipment models of mainstream printer/copier brands on the market (such as Ricoh, Canon, Sharp, Brother, Samsung, Toshiba, Panasonic, Dell, etc.) and their compatible consumables. Users do not need to know any complex OEM part numbers. Through simple filtering steps, the system will automatically match all available compatible products, fundamentally eliminating procurement errors caused by wrong part numbers.



3-Step Operation Guide: Even newbies can complete accurate model selection within 1 minute

The retrieval function of the TMS platform is fully designed to fit the actual workflow of consumables practitioners, with full-process visualized guidance and extremely low operation threshold.

Step 1: Select the brand of the target equipment

You can start the operation through any of the convenient entries below. Brand filtering is supported on the homepage, primary product classification page, and secondary product classification page:

  • Path 1 (Official Website Homepage): Directly enter the TMS Official Website Homepage, click the target equipment brand in the top navigation bar "Brand Zone".

  • Path 2 (Primary Classification Page): On any product classification page, such as the Printer PCR and Cleaning Roller Primary Classification Page, there is also a brand filtering bar at the top of the page for direct selection.

  • Path 3 (Secondary Classification Page): After entering the secondary page of a specific consumable subcategory, the independent brand filtering function is still retained. Even if you have entered the detail list pages of subdivided accessories such as Cleaning Blades, Transfer Belt and Fuser Film Sleeve, you can quickly switch the equipment brand through the embedded brand filtering component on the page, find the corresponding accessories for different brand equipment across categories, completely eliminating the repeated operation of returning to the upper page for jumps.

Step 2: Select the specific equipment model

After entering the target brand zone or completing brand filtering, the system will display all mass-produced equipment models under this brand in the form of a visualized list. Even those old and rare models released many years ago can be easily found in the list. You only need to click the corresponding model name to lock the accurate compatible range, no need to manually enter the full complex model name.

Step 3: Select the required consumable/accessory type

After completing the first two filtering steps, the system will automatically filter out all irrelevant SKUs, and only display the full-range compatible consumables and accessories for this model. If you need to further accurately locate a specific component, such as Drum Unit or Cleaning Roller, you can directly filter the corresponding product type in the Printer PCR and Cleaning Roller Category Zone. All common wearing parts such as Toner Cartridge, transfer belt, Fuser Unit, Primary Charge Roller and cleaning blade can be reached with one click.
