Aficio SP 5210SF
With scanning and fax added to the platform, the Ricoh Aficio SP 5210SF is the multifunction member of the 5210 family, and it still prints on the high-capacity 406683 black toner cartridge rated for up to 25,000 pages. Print, copy and fax jobs all draw from that one supply, and the compatible cartridges on this page keep per-page costs low for heavy black-and-white output.
An SP 5210SF usually anchors the corner of an office where documents change form all day: paper arrives, gets scanned, copied and faxed, and fresh pages come back out. A multifunction like that cannot afford a short-lived cartridge, because every function stalls when the toner does. The 25,000-page yield is the quiet answer, turning toner into a background concern while the machine handles the foreground work.

Which cartridge should you buy?
Count all of the machine's output, not just its printing, when you size an order. Copies made at the glass and faxes that print on arrival consume the same toner, so a busy SP 5210SF works through a cartridge faster than its page counter for printing alone suggests. One cartridge still covers up to 25,000 pages, a solid start for a moderate office. The 2-pack and 3-pack suit most multifunction sites, guaranteeing a reserve for the cartridge change that always lands on the busiest day. High-volume departments should look at the 5-pack or 10-pack, where the cost per page is lowest and the shared 5200/5210 family stock means no box is ever stranded.
Chip, toner and everyday use
The compatible units here carry a working chip, so the SP 5210SF registers the new cartridge and keeps tracking toner across print, copy and fax work. Fit it with the front cover open and the machine idle, rocking the cartridge gently first to even out the powder inside. Keep in mind that yields rest on about 5 percent coverage; a morning spent copying dark forms will use noticeably more than the same count of plain letters. A sealed spare in a nearby drawer, kept flat and out of direct light, keeps every function of the machine running when the low-toner notice shows up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do copies and faxes use the same cartridge as printing?
They do. The SP 5210SF is a single-supply machine: the 406683 cartridge serves its printer, copier and fax output alike, rated for up to 25,000 pages in total.
Can I share toner stock with our SP 5200DN?
Yes. The 5200DN, 5200S and the other 5210 variants all take this same cartridge, including their Lanier and Savin equivalents, so one inventory covers the fleet.
How will I know the compatible cartridge is recognized?
The cartridges include the chip this platform expects, so the machine accepts the unit and displays its toner level normally. Print a test page after fitting to confirm clean output.
What warranty backs these cartridges?
Each compatible cartridge carries a 1-year warranty with 1-year returns. That applies to every pack size listed on this page.
