Aficio 2020
At the top of this Aficio generation sat the Ricoh Aficio 2020, the fastest engine of the 2015-through-2020 family in a still-compact multifunction body. It was built for departments where the copier rarely gets a quiet moment, and it runs on the same cartridge as its smaller relatives: the 888215 black toner, rated for up to 9,000 pages. Compatible cartridges for it are in stock on this page.
Volume changes the supply conversation. On a lightly used machine, toner is an occasional errand; on the 2020 it is a rhythm the department plans around. The mercy is that the cartridge itself is the familiar family unit — no exotic specification, no premium tier — so feeding the fastest machine in the range costs no more imagination than feeding the slowest.

Which cartridge should you buy?
Plan by the cartridge calendar. At up to 9,000 pages per cartridge, a busy 2020 will ask for toner on a predictable cycle, and the cheapest way to answer is the 4 pack: lowest cost per cartridge, fewest orders, and enough stock to absorb a heavy month without a rush delivery. The 2 pack keeps a sensible reserve for a single-machine department. Singles are for topping up or for a 2020 that has been moved to lighter duty. Every option is the same 888215 cartridge, with a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.
Chip, toner and everyday use
On a machine that seldom cools down, schedule swaps between big jobs rather than during them. Keep two spares at this volume tier if the 2020 is the department's only device — the second spare is what turns a toner outage from a crisis into a shrug. If fresh output shows streaks right after a change, check the cartridge is fully seated before suspecting anything more serious.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which toner cartridge does the Aficio 2020 use?
The 888215 black cartridge — the same unit that serves the whole 2015-to-2020 family, stocked here as a single and in 2 and 4 packs.
How often will a busy department change it?
Divide your monthly page count into the 9,000-page rating. At 6,000 ordinary pages a month, expect a change about every six weeks, sooner when output runs dense.
Is the cartridge really the same as the smaller models use?
Yes. Engine speed differs across the family; the toner cartridge does not. Stock bought for a 2016 or 2018 works in the 2020 and the other way around.
Do the multi-packs contain a different cartridge?
No — the 2 and 4 packs are the same 888215 cartridge boxed together. The difference is price per cartridge and how often you reorder, nothing else.
