Aficio SP 3510DN
The Ricoh Aficio SP 3510DN carries the 3500 series forward — duplex and networking standard — and wisely changes nothing about the supply shelf. It prints on the 406989 black toner cartridge, rated for up to 6,400 pages, which this page offers as a single cartridge and in 2, 3, 5 and 10 packs.
Fleets are where this continuity shines. An office running a mix of older 3500 machines and newer 3510 units stocks exactly one toner SKU between them, and the person ordering supplies never has to ask which printer a cartridge is for.

Which cartridge should you buy?
If your office already buys the 406989 for 3500 models, nothing about your ordering needs to change — buy the pack size that matches your pace. New to the family, work it out from volume: singles for occasional printing, the 3 or 5 pack for a printer in daily service, and the 10 pack where cost per page matters most and storage is easy. Automatic two-sided printing already trims your paper spend; the larger toner packs do the same job on the supply side. All options contain the identical cartridge — there is no yield tier to choose between.
Chip, toner and everyday use
A fresh cartridge announces itself through its chip, and the 3510DN tracks remaining toner from there with no configuration. Toward the end of a cartridge, output can go patchy before it goes faint; pulling the unit and rocking it gently levels the toner bed and typically restores clean pages until the spare goes in. Ratings are stated at standard coverage, so treat 6,400 pages as the ceiling for light documents rather than a promise for dense ones. Keep unopened cartridges in their boxes, lying flat, in a cool and dry place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does toner for the 3500 series fit the SP 3510DN?
Yes. The 3510DN uses the same 406989 cartridge as the 3500DN, 3500N and 3500SF, so existing stock carries straight over.
Is duplex printing standard on this model?
It is — automatic two-sided printing is built in, along with networking, which is why this model is so often chosen as a shared office printer.
How many pages does the cartridge deliver?
Up to 6,400 pages at standard coverage. Duplexing stretches your paper, not the toner — both sides of a two-sided page still draw on the cartridge.
Which pack should a mixed 3500/3510 office buy?
Whichever size matches total fleet volume; since one cartridge serves every machine, most mixed offices consolidate on the 5 or 10 pack.
