Aficio C240SR

The Ricoh Aficio C240SR takes the C240's compact color multifunction engine and adds the SR workgroup configuration on top, for offices that finish documents in-house. Toner stays exactly the same across the pair: the C300 family, with black at Ricoh part 841295 and cyan at part 841296, one cartridge for each color.

In-house finishing changes how a workgroup's day flows — documents come off the machine ready to use — while the engine underneath remains the compact, color-every-day C240. For supply purposes the SR badge changes nothing, and that is precisely the convenience: one cartridge family to learn, stock and reorder for both variants.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Plan C240SR stock the way you would for the base C240, because the consumables are identical. The black 841295 turns over fastest in offices that print mostly text, so hold at least one spare of it. The cyan 841296 is a standalone swap: when that channel fades, replace it alone and leave the other positions running. If your office runs a mix of C240 and C240SR units, or the C230 pair alongside them, a single pooled shelf of C300 cartridges covers all of them without any sorting. Current yield figures are listed on the product pages — match your stock depth to how quickly each color actually moves in your office.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Each C300 cartridge carries a chip the C240SR reads on installation, tracking levels color by color so warnings name the position that needs attention. Cartridges are keyed to their matching color slot; a cartridge seated in the wrong position will not register correctly. As with all toner ratings, quoted yields assume roughly 5% coverage of that color, and heavy color documents will cycle a cartridge sooner. A gentle side-to-side rock can level the toner inside a cartridge that has begun printing unevenly, buying clean pages while a replacement ships.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the C240 and C240SR use the same toner?

Yes, completely — the C300 family, including black 841295 and cyan 841296. The SR configuration adds finishing capability, not different consumables.

Cyan pages look pale while everything else prints fine. What is the fix?

Swap the cyan cartridge, 841296, on its own. Independent color positions mean one weak channel never forces a wider replacement.

Does heavy color use change how I should reorder?

It changes which color you reorder, not the system. Watch the panel's per-color gauges and reorder the position that is actually low — and remember the family list below shows the other models your spares will also fit.
