Aficio SP C220N

One color printer serving the whole small workgroup is the Ricoh Aficio SP C220N's brief, putting the compact Aficio SP C220 engine on the office network. Its toner set is black 406046, cyan 406047 and magenta 406048, with up to 2,000 pages from every cartridge. Each person prints in color from their own desk, and toner stays a simple per-cartridge decision — no USB-cable musical chairs, no single workstation holding the printer hostage.

Sharing changes who empties what. In a mixed workgroup, a few people print text all day while others touch color only for the occasional chart or cover page, so black drains noticeably faster than cyan or magenta. The C220N's answer is transparency: levels are reported per cartridge, and whoever spots the warning can swap in a spare in under a minute. For a shared machine, that visibility is worth as much as the networking itself.

Which cartridge should you buy?

For a workgroup printer, the practical buy is a black multipack. The 406046 single serves a quiet office, but the 2-, 3- and 5-packs mean the shared machine never sits idle waiting on a delivery, and the cartridge inside every box is the same 2,000-page unit. Buy cyan 406047 and magenta 406048 as singles when their warnings appear — color use in a workgroup is too uneven to stockpile. Everything on this page is a compatible cartridge carrying a 1-year warranty, with returns honored for one year.

Chip, toner and everyday use

A shared printer deserves shared toner manners: check the level display before launching a long print run, and leave the spare where the whole team can find it rather than in one person's drawer. If a newly installed cartridge is not recognized, reseat it firmly and restart the printer — the chip almost always registers on the second seating. Rocking a tired cartridge gently can also stretch its last toner across a few more pages while the replacement ships.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cartridges fit the Aficio SP C220N?

Black 406046, cyan 406047 and magenta 406048 — up to 2,000 pages from each. The network model uses the same set as the rest of the family.

Five of us share this printer. Single black or a multipack?

If the black warning returns often, step up to a 2-, 3- or 5-pack; shared machines punish just-in-time ordering. Colors are best bought as singles, since each empties at its own pace.
