Aficio 2022

The Ricoh Aficio 2022 brings the proven 20-series multifunction platform to offices that want dependable black-and-white copying, printing and scanning consolidated into a single unit — no separate scanner to feed, no second printer to maintain. Its supply is the 888169 toner cartridge, delivering around 11,000 pages per install, which gives workgroups long intervals between replacements and keeps the total cost of ownership attractive. Singles and multipacks of the compatible cartridge are available on this page.

The 2022's argument is straightforwardness. It is a no-nonsense MFP for everyday document workflows that simply need to work, day after day: contracts copied, invoices printed, paperwork scanned to the folder. Consolidation also simplifies the supply shelf — one machine, one cartridge type, one line on the order form — and that simplicity compounds across every month the machine is in service.

Toner Cartridges for Aficio 2022

Cartridge	Color	Page Yield
888169 — Single Cartridge	Black	Approx. 11,000 pages
888169 — 2 Pack	Black	Approx. 11,000 pages each
888169 — 4 Pack	Black	Approx. 11,000 pages each

Which cartridge should you buy?

Long intervals are built into this cartridge — around 11,000 pages each — so most 2022 owners can buy the single and forget about toner for a season. Step up to the 2-pack if the machine serves a whole workgroup and an empty cartridge would stall shared work; having the spare in the drawer converts a potential stoppage into a two-minute swap. The 4-pack is for offices that stock for several machines in this cartridge family or prefer to handle supplies in one annual order, with the lowest per-cartridge cost of the three options. All three listings are the same 888169 cartridge, so choose by how much buffer your office likes to hold.

Chip, toner and everyday use

A working chip in every compatible 888169 means the 2022 recognizes the cartridge on installation and reports its level honestly — no guesswork about how much toner remains. Pull the seal tape completely before fitting, and slide the unit in until it clicks. Page yield is quoted at around 11,000 pages under standard coverage assumptions; real-world results vary with how dark your typical originals and documents are. Spares keep best in their sealed packaging, stored flat in a dry place. When output eventually fades, that is the cartridge asking to be changed, not the machine failing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cartridge fits the Aficio 2022?

The 888169 black cartridge — the standard supply for this machine and for the wider family listed below. Any pack size on this page contains that same cartridge.

Is this cartridge shared with the 10-series models?

Yes. The 2022 uses the identical cartridge as the 1022, 1027 and 1032 and many more besides, which is why offices running mixed Aficio fleets can stock a single item.

What does "around 11,000 pages" mean in practice?

It is the approximate yield at standard 5% coverage. Light text documents approach it; dense copying lands lower. Either way, expect months between changes at typical workgroup volumes.

What cover do the cartridges come with?

The compatible cartridges here are backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns, and each includes a chip so the machine tracks toner levels correctly.
