2212
The Gestetner 2212 is Gestetner’s branded version of Ricoh’s proven multifunction engine, giving offices the same dependable copy, print and scan performance under the Gestetner name they trust. It is a black-and-white machine, and it takes the Type 2120D toner cartridge — about 11,000 pages per install — ordered under Ricoh part number 888169, identical to the cartridge its Ricoh-badged counterparts use.
For organizations already running Gestetner devices, the 2212 integrates seamlessly with familiar drivers and workflows, so nothing about the fleet changes except the badge on the door. The supply side works the same way: Gestetner channels carry this cartridge under the Ricoh part number, which means a 2212 owner can order with confidence from the same listings that serve the Ricoh models — the box that arrives is the box the machine was built around.

Which cartridge should you buy?
Do not let the badge complicate the order: match the part number, not the brand name. The cartridge for the 2212 is 888169, the Type 2120D black toner, and it is sold here as a single, a 2-pack and a 4-pack. A single suits a lightly used machine and still yields about 11,000 pages; the 2-pack keeps a spare ready for a busier office; the 4-pack serves fleets that have standardized on this engine family under several badges and want one shared stock. Every compatible cartridge is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.
Chip, toner and everyday use
When the box arrives, check the part number on the label — 888169 is the reference that matters, whatever badge your machine wears. Seat the cartridge fully so the 2212 reads its chip, and let it settle before the next job runs. The 11,000-page rating assumes about 5% coverage, so expect less from dense originals and more from plain documents. If output fades late in a cartridge’s life, rocking it gently side to side redistributes the toner and usually restores clean pages until the swap.
