FAX 1130L

Some offices still run on signed paper sent down a phone line, and the Ricoh FAX 1130L is built for exactly that work: a dedicated plain-paper laser fax machine with a single job to do. It prints every incoming page with the AC104 black toner cartridge, part number 412672, rated for up to 3,500 pages. Everything stocked on this page is a compatible version of that one cartridge, sold singly or in multipacks for offices that would rather keep a shelf stocked than place emergency orders.

A fax-only machine has one quiet advantage: nothing borrows it. Nobody sends a print job to it, nobody copies a flyer on it, so its toner drains at the pace of fax traffic alone — steady, forecastable, easy to plan around. The flip side is that a fax line cannot pause politely. When a contract, authorization or order is coming through, the machine has to be ready, and readiness mostly means a cartridge in the unit and one more within reach.

Toner Cartridges for FAX 1130L

Which cartridge should you buy?

There is only one cartridge decision on this page — the number 412672 — so the real question is how many to keep on hand. A single cartridge suits a home office or a line that sees a few faxes a week. Offices receiving daily traffic usually settle on the 2-pack or 3-pack, which keeps one cartridge working and at least one waiting. A department fax number that fields order forms and signed documents all day burns through toner on a schedule, and that is where the 5-pack and 10-pack earn their keep: the per-cartridge cost drops and reordering becomes a quarterly chore instead of a monthly one. Judge by your own fax log — at up to 3,500 pages per cartridge, even a busy line takes a while to empty one, but the cost of an empty machine mid-transmission is measured in lost documents, not pages.

Chip, toner and everyday use

When incoming pages start arriving pale or streaked, the cartridge is usually asking to be replaced rather than rescued. Before fitting the new one, rock it gently from side to side a few times so the toner inside settles evenly, then pull the sealing tape out in one smooth motion and slide the unit home until it seats. Keep your spare stored flat, in its bag, away from heat and direct light; toner keeps well, but a cartridge baked on a sunny shelf does not. Page ratings assume standard coverage, so fax pages dense with fine print, letterheads and signatures will land somewhat under the headline figure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner does the Ricoh FAX 1130L use?

It takes the AC104 black toner cartridge, part number 412672. There is one supply only — no color cartridges, no separate drum unit to track — so reordering is a single-number job.

How many pages will one cartridge print?

Up to 3,500 pages at standard coverage. A fax line that mostly receives short confirmations will get close to that figure; long, dense documents pull the real-world count down.

Does the same cartridge fit other Ricoh fax models?

Yes. The identical AC104 cartridge also feeds the FAX 1170L and the FAX 2210L, and it is the cartridge behind the AC104 listing as well, which makes it a sensible shared supply for mixed fax fleets.

What pack sizes can I order?

Besides the single cartridge, this page lists 2-packs, 3-packs, 5-packs and 10-packs of the 412672, all the same compatible cartridge in different quantities.

More printers that use the same cartridges

The AC104 cartridge is shared across a small family of Ricoh fax machines: AC104, FAX 1170L, FAX 2210L.
