Aficio 1305

Small offices that want copying and printing from one modest cabinet are exactly who Ricoh had in mind with the Aficio 1305. This compact black-and-white multifunction machine keeps its supply list refreshingly short: a single cartridge, the Type 1150D — Ricoh part 885257 — rated for up to 7,000 pages of monochrome output. There is no color set to manage and no second consumable to keep track of; when the 1305 runs low, one cartridge swap puts it straight back to work.

Where a floor-standing copier would dominate the room, the 1305 covers the everyday document work of a small team — copying, printing and routine paperwork — from a footprint closer to a desktop unit. That makes it a natural fit for branch offices, reception counters and workgroups that want multifunction convenience without committing floor space. Ownership stays simple in return: park one spare cartridge on a shelf nearby and this machine asks for almost nothing else.

Which cartridge should you buy?

All three listings on this page are the same Type 1150D cartridge, so the choice is about how your office buys rather than what it buys. A single cartridge suits a lightly used 1305 or a first restock after setup. The 2-pack is the sensible default for most small offices: one cartridge goes in the machine and the second waits as a spare, so a low-toner warning never turns into a scramble. Busy sites, or anyone standardizing several machines on this platform, should look at the 4-pack, which spreads the cost across four cartridges and stretches the time between orders. Every option is a Clever Supplies compatible cartridge covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns, so whichever quantity you pick carries the same protection.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Swapping the Type 1150D is a short job: open the front cover, slide the spent cartridge out by its handle, and rock the new one gently from side to side a few times before fitting it so the toner inside settles evenly. Remove any shipping seal or tape, push the cartridge home until it seats, and close the cover — the 1305 is ready again. That 7,000-page figure is an estimate at the standard 5% page coverage, so dense reports and heavy graphics will use toner faster than light memos. If prints start to fade before the cartridge is truly empty, taking it out and rocking it again often coaxes out a few hundred extra pages. Store spares flat, sealed, and away from heat and direct sunlight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner cartridge does the Aficio 1305 use?

It uses the Type 1150D black toner cartridge, Ricoh part number 885257, rated for up to 7,000 pages. On this page it is sold as a single cartridge and in 2-pack and 4-pack quantities.

Is there a color cartridge for the Aficio 1305?

No. The 1305 is a black-and-white machine, so black is the only cartridge it takes — there are no cyan, magenta or yellow cartridges to buy or replace.

Will the same cartridge fit the Aficio 1305P?

Yes. The Aficio 1305P runs on the same Type 1150D platform, and the cartridge is also shared with the 1013-series machines and their Lanier and Savin counterparts listed below, so one spare can cover several models.

Should I keep a spare cartridge on hand?

For most offices, yes. A 2-pack leaves one cartridge in reserve, which means the 1305 is never idle waiting on a delivery when the installed cartridge runs out mid-job.
