Aficio 3010

Ricoh designed the Aficio 3010 for offices moving up to true departmental multifunction performance, with the paper handling capacity and finishing options to match heavier workloads. The machine is a black-and-white multifunction copier, and its supply is the Type 2120D cartridge, part number 888169, supplying roughly 11,000 pages of sharp monochrome output per install.

The 3010 is the MFP you choose when the whole floor shares one machine and reliability cannot be compromised. Finishing and paper capacity get the attention, but day to day what the floor notices is whether the device is ready — and a cartridge rated around 11,000 pages keeps it ready for long stretches. Supply costs stay predictable because there is exactly one consumable to budget for.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Shared machines deserve stocked shelves. A single cartridge works as a stopgap, but on a floor-wide device the smarter pattern is the 2-pack — one cartridge installed, one waiting — so whoever hits the empty warning can swap and move on. Floors with heavy, continuous volume often go straight to the 4-pack, which keeps several changes on hand and makes toner a quarterly order instead of a recurring interruption. Every listing is the same Type 2120D cartridge at roughly 11,000 pages, and each compatible cartridge carries a 1-year warranty with 1-year returns.

Chip, toner and everyday use

When the low-toner notice appears on a shared machine, a gentle side-to-side rock of the cartridge redistributes the remaining toner and can carry the floor through the day while the spare goes in at a quieter moment. Seat replacements firmly so the chip is read on the first try. Keep in mind that the yield rating assumes about 5% coverage — a department running dense reports will cycle a cartridge faster than one printing correspondence. Store the reserve cartridges in a cool, dry cabinet, not in the warm space above the machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What toner does the Aficio 3010 use?

The Type 2120D black toner cartridge, part number 888169, rated for roughly 11,000 pages. Singles, 2-packs and 4-packs are all listed on this page.

How many pages does the 3010’s cartridge yield?

Around 11,000 pages at standard coverage. Shared departmental machines print a mix, so real life lands near the rating — lower in heavy-report months, higher when the load is everyday documents.

Our whole floor shares one 3010 — which pack size makes sense?

The 4-pack is the usual answer for a floor machine, with the 2-pack as the minimum sensible buffer. What matters is that a spare is always in the building; on a shared device, an empty cartridge stops everyone, not just one desk.
