Aficio SP 5200S
The scanner-equipped Ricoh Aficio SP 5200S adds document capture to the 5200 platform while printing on the same long-life 406683 black toner cartridge, rated for up to 25,000 pages. Scan-to-email and high-yield printing come together in one desktop unit, and this page stocks compatible 406683 cartridges for long, uninterrupted runs in busy workgroups.
Workgroups that live on paperwork are the natural home for this machine: incoming forms get scanned straight to email, yet the same device still has to push out the day's letters, labels and reports. A 25,000-page cartridge is what makes that double life practical. Toner changes become rare events on the calendar even in a high-volume setting, so the SP 5200S can be treated as infrastructure rather than as another gadget demanding attention.

Which cartridge should you buy?
Remember first that scanning itself uses no toner at all; only pages that come out of the printer, including photocopies, draw on the cartridge. A single 406683 therefore goes a long way in a scan-heavy office, up to 25,000 printed pages. The 2-pack and 3-pack are the steady-state choice for workgroups that print as much as they scan, keeping a reserve beside the machine. Where several 5200 or 5210 units share a floor, the 5-pack and 10-pack turn toner into a once-in-a-while facilities order, around 125,000 to 250,000 pages of coverage, at the best cost per page on this page. Every model in the family list below uses the identical cartridge, so surplus stock always has a home.
Chip, toner and everyday use
The compatible cartridges sold here are chipped for this platform, letting the SP 5200S recognize the supply and show its level whether the pages came from printing or copying. Before installation, hold the cartridge level and rock it gently a few times to loosen the toner, remove the protective seal, and push the unit in until it clicks. Rated yields assume roughly 5 percent coverage per page, so a week of copying dark, dense originals will show on the counter faster than clean text pages. Keep the standby cartridge in its sealed box in a cool cupboard, and the swap, when it comes, takes only a couple of minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does scanning on the SP 5200S consume toner?
No. Scanning and scan-to-email use no toner whatsoever. Only printed pages and photocopies draw on the 406683 cartridge, which is rated for up to 25,000 pages of output.
Is this the same cartridge as the SP 5200DN uses?
It is exactly the same 406683 black cartridge. The listings above are shared across the 5200 and 5210 family, so stock bought for one model fits the others.
How often will a busy workgroup change this toner?
Not often. At up to 25,000 pages per cartridge, even a high-volume team typically changes toner only a few times a year, and multipacks stretch the reordering interval further.
Are the cartridges on this page genuine Ricoh supplies?
They are compatible replacements with a working chip, not Ricoh-branded units. Each is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns for peace of mind.
