Aficio SP377SFNwX

Four functions, zero cables. The Ricoh Aficio SP377SFNwX prints, copies, scans and faxes entirely over Wi-Fi, making it the multifunction flagship of the 377 family and the easiest of the range to place. Its printed output runs on the 408161 black toner cartridge, rated for up to 6,400 pages — the same supply as its print-only sibling, so restocking stays a one-line order. Compatible singles and multipacks are listed below.

This is the machine for offices that rearrange themselves: desks move, teams reshuffle, and the printer simply gets carried to the next free outlet instead of waiting for a network drop. Scanning and faxing ride the same wireless connection as printing, so the SP377SFNwX can anchor a small workgroup's whole document routine from a shelf, a counter or a side table. Only its footprint and its toner ever need planning.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Because this machine prints everything a small team produces — copies and incoming faxes included, not just documents sent from a computer — its toner tends to move faster than the same cartridge in a print-only device. A single 408161 is enough for a quiet office, but most workgroups will be happier with the 2-pack: the second cartridge removes the deadline pressure when the low-toner warning appears midweek. Offices that also run the print-only 377 model can standardize on the 4-pack, since both machines draw from the same shelf stock. Whichever quantity you pick, the cartridge itself is identical, rated at up to 6,400 pages; you are choosing how much buffer to keep, not a different grade of supply.

Chip, toner and everyday use

The 408161's chip reports toner status to the machine, which matters on a shared MFP: the warning reaches everyone through the panel before output suffers. When you replace the cartridge, pull the seal fully, insert the unit squarely, and let the printer finish its start-up check before queuing a copy job. Remember that scanning consumes no toner at all — only printed and copied pages and received faxes draw on the cartridge. Yields are measured at roughly 5% coverage. Keep a spare sealed and stored flat; toner keeps best away from sunlight and radiators.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does scanning or sending faxes use up the toner?

Scanning uses none — it only creates a digital file. Printing, copying and printing out received faxes are what draw on the 408161 cartridge.

Is this the same cartridge as the SP377DNwX uses?

Yes, exactly the same. The Aficio SP377DNwX and this multifunction model share the 408161, also marked SP 377XA, so stock bought for one fits the other.

What yield will I actually see?

The rating is up to 6,400 pages at 5% coverage. A fax-and-copy heavy office will land below that; a print-light one can meet it.

What if the machine does not recognize the new cartridge?

Remove it, check the seal is fully pulled and the chip contacts are clean, then reseat it firmly. The compatible cartridges here carry a working chip and are backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns if a unit still misbehaves.
