Ricoh Aficio SP C250SF Toner Cartridges (Compatible)

Aficio SP C250SF

Print, scan, copy and fax in full color from one compact box: that is the Ricoh Aficio SP C250SF's pitch to offices short on space and budget alike. It shares its toner with the C250DN printer, namely the 407539 black, 407540 cyan, 407541 magenta and 407542 yellow cartridges, each rated at up to 2,300 pages. One four-cartridge family to stock, no matter which of the machine's functions did the printing.

The C250SF exists for the office that kept walking down the hall. Desktop color copying and scanning end the trips to a shared departmental MFP, and for a small team that convenience changes how often documents get digitized or duplicated in color at all. Because copying counts against the same toner as printing, a busy C250SF can move through cartridges faster than its printer-only sibling in the same room, which is worth knowing when you decide how many spares to keep on hand.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Copy volume is the wrinkle in supply planning for a multifunction machine: a week of color handouts copied for meetings can outrun a month of light printing. Singles remain the flexible default, so replace the slot that is empty, by its number. The black multipacks in 2, 3 and 5 counts make sense where copying is mostly documents and text. When the whole set sags at once, the four-color set restores everything in a single order, and the color-only 3- and 6-count sets handle the case where black is still healthy. Every cartridge here is compatible, chipped, and covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Each cartridge's chip reports its presence and level to the machine across copies as well as prints, so the low-toner warnings reflect total use. When you change a unit, match the color label on the cartridge to the slot, slide it home firmly, and run a test copy to confirm clean output before starting a big job. Rocking the new cartridge gently from side to side first helps the toner inside settle evenly after shipping. Keep spare cartridges sealed in a cool drawer, and remember that page ratings are figured at about 5% coverage, so copied photographs or dense graphics will spend a cartridge faster than text pages do.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the C250SF cartridges the same as the C250DN's?

Identical. Both machines use 407539 black, 407540 cyan, 407541 magenta and 407542 yellow, and every listing on this page serves either model; the multifunction simply adds scan, copy and fax hardware around the same print engine.

Does copying use more toner than printing?

It uses the same cartridges, so a color copy spends toner just as a color print does, page for page. Offices that copy full-color pages regularly will see the color cartridges move faster than the black.

What yield should I expect per cartridge?

Up to 2,300 pages per cartridge at standard coverage. Mixed office use, meaning letters, some graphics and some copies, usually lands below the headline figure, which is why keeping a shelf spare is a good habit with this machine.
