Aficio MF-201SPF
Scan, print and fax arrive together in the Aficio MF-201SPF, a multifunction unit built for walk-up copying as much as desktop printing. However it is used, one supply keeps it running: the black 841718 cartridge, rated near 7,000 pages, so even heavy copying does not turn into constant cartridge swaps.
The MF-201SPF is the all-in-one answer for a small workgroup: staff walk up to copy and scan at the machine, and the same box handles their print jobs from their desks. One device on the counter, one cartridge in the cupboard — for a small team that is the whole facilities department, that economy of attention is the product's real feature.

Which cartridge should you buy?
Walk-up copying consumes toner in unpredictable bursts — a training manual here, a contract run there — which makes a reserve cartridge worth more than its price. The 2-pack is the natural fit: replace the empty, and the spare is already in the building for the next burst. The 4-pack serves the busiest small offices and any site also running sibling machines from the list below. A single 841718 suits a quiet unit with modest copying. In every case the cartridge is the same; you are only deciding how much buffer stands between your team and an empty machine.
Chip, toner and everyday use
These compatible cartridges are built with the chip this machine reads, so installation ends with the toner gauge back at full and no messages to clear. To stretch a fading cartridge, take it out and rock it gently side to side — toner that has settled to one end spreads back across the roller and prints evenly again for a while. Store the spare flat, sealed in its packaging, away from sunlight and heat sources; when the swap day comes, the change itself takes about a minute from the front of the unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which toner does the Aficio MF-201SPF use?
The 841718 black toner cartridge, rated for up to 7,000 pages. It is the only supply this model needs from this page.
Why do some listings name other Ricoh models?
These listings use the same 841718 black cartridge sold under different model titles — the supply is shared across the family, and every one of them fits the MF-201SPF. The table above shows the listings named for this model.
How many pages does one cartridge print?
Up to 7,000 pages at 5% coverage, the standard measure. Copy-heavy use with dense pages will land below that figure, which is normal for any cartridge.
Do you sell multipacks for this model?
Yes — 2-packs and 4-packs sit alongside the single on this page, at a lower cost per cartridge. For a walk-up machine that a whole team leans on, the 2-pack is the popular middle ground.
