Aficio MP C5502A
For offices that need the faster C5502 engine in an alternate configuration, the Ricoh Aficio MP C5502A delivers full color print, copy, scan and fax capability — and it stays on the C4502/C5502 line's single toner family. That family is black 841751, good for up to 31,000 pages, with yellow 841752, magenta 841753 and cyan 841754 rated up to 22,500 pages each. Singles and value multipacks for this machine are all listed here.
The C5502A is the fleet buyer's friend: four models across two speed classes share one cartridge family, so a mixed floor of C4502, C4502A, C5502 and C5502A machines needs just four cartridge numbers in the supply closet. Purchasing stays simple, spares are interchangeable between machines, and a cartridge ordered for one unit can rescue another in a pinch.

Which cartridge should you buy?
Matching a spent cartridge on the C5502A is straightforward, and the sensible order depends on which slot emptied. Black — the 841751 — does the heaviest work, so its 2-pack, 3-pack and 5-pack formats are the backbone of any stocking plan. A color, when it goes, is replaced alone: swapping only the dry cartridge avoids retiring toner that still has life in it. The four-color set is the pick when the machine is due a complete refresh, the three-color set when black is fresh, and the five-, six- and eight-piece bundles when one order restocks several family machines at once.
Chip, toner and everyday use
When you fit a fresh cartridge, remove the protective seal completely and push the unit in until it seats with a click; the chip is read as the door closes, and a cartridge that is not fully home is the usual cause of a recognition prompt — reseating it nearly always clears the message. Keep incoming stock sealed until install day, and remember the headline yields are 5%-coverage estimates, so graphics-heavy months will land below them.
