FAX 2210L
The Ricoh FAX 2210L folds three office jobs into one compact desktop unit — laser fax, copying and PC printing — and draws all of them from a single supply, the AC104 black toner cartridge, part number 412672, rated at about 3,500 pages. The cartridges on this page are compatible versions of that number, offered from a single unit up to a 10-pack for offices that lean on this machine hard.
For a micro-office or a one-room practice, the 2210L is often not the second machine but the only machine: it receives the fax, copies the form and prints the invoice. That concentration is convenient right up until the cartridge runs dry, because an empty 2210L does not lose one function — it loses all three at the same time. Owners of three-in-one units learn to think of toner the way they think of paper: something that should never reach zero.

Which cartridge should you buy?
Because faxing, copying and PC printing all drink from the same 412672 cartridge, most 2210L owners go through toner faster than they expect — PC printing of letters and invoices is usually the biggest consumer of the three. A single cartridge is fine for a genuinely quiet desk, but the 3-pack is the natural home size for this machine: one installed, one or two in reserve, and no week in which a dead cartridge can idle the whole office. Busier single-machine sites step up to the 5-pack or 10-pack, which also trims the per-cartridge cost. Whichever size you pick, the cartridge itself does not change — only the quantity in the box.
Chip, toner and everyday use
After fitting a fresh cartridge, print one test page from the PC as well as receiving or copying one page at the desk; that confirms both the printing side and the fax side are seeing the new supply. If a newly installed unit is not recognized, lift it out and reseat it firmly rather than forcing anything, and make sure every strip of packing tape came off before it went in. Toner yields are quoted at standard coverage, and a machine printing full-page documents all day will finish cartridges sooner than the headline number suggests — another argument for keeping the next one already in the building.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which toner does the FAX 2210L take?
The AC104 black toner cartridge, part number 412672. One cartridge covers faxing, copying and printing alike — there is nothing else to stock for this machine.
Does one cartridge really serve all three functions?
Yes. The 2210L prints received faxes, copies and computer documents with the same toner supply, which is why heavy PC-printing weeks shorten the interval between swaps.
Which other models use this cartridge?
The FAX 1130L and the FAX 1170L share it, and it is also sold under the AC104 listing — the same cartridge in every case.
How many pages should I expect per cartridge?
About 3,500 pages at standard coverage. Dense printouts — contracts, statements, full-page letters — pull the real figure down, so treat the rating as a ceiling, not a promise.
