6002
Sold under Ricoh's Gestetner badge, the 6002 is the same 60-page-per-minute-class departmental engine as the Ricoh Aficio 1060 — identical hardware wearing a different nameplate, placed by Gestetner dealers into offices that wanted this platform with Gestetner service behind it. The cartridge is identical too: the Type 6110D black toner, part 885400, rated up to 43,000 pages of sharp black output.
Badge engineering confuses toner shopping more than it should. Owners of Gestetner-badged machines often search in vain for a Gestetner-specific cartridge, when in fact the platform was designed around one shared supply from the start. If your 6002 came with a building you inherited or a service contract that has since lapsed, the practical news is good: its toner is a mainstream, high-yield cartridge that is easy to keep in stock.

Which cartridge should you buy?
Ignore the nameplate and shop the platform: every listing above is the Type 6110D cartridge at the same 43,000-page rating, differing only in quantity. A single cartridge is the right start if this is a new-to-you machine and you want to confirm the compatible supply through one full cycle. The 2-pack is the steady-state choice for most 6002 installations — one cartridge loaded, one waiting, and no emergency orders when the panel starts warning during a heavy week. Offices that also run Ricoh-, Lanier- or Savin-badged siblings can justify the 4-pack, since the identical stock feeds all of them. There is no Gestetner-only variant hiding anywhere; buy the quantity that fits your storage and reorder rhythm, with a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns behind every box.
Chip, toner and everyday use
The changeover mirrors its Ricoh twin: open the front access, slide the spent cartridge out, and rock the fresh one gently side to side before seating it so the toner distributes evenly. Confirm the machine returns to ready status before walking away. Keep spare cartridges sealed, flat and away from heat or direct sun, and rotate the oldest box to the front of the shelf. The stated yield is a standard-page estimate at light coverage, so departments printing dense forms will land below 43,000 pages; that is expected behavior, not a faulty cartridge. Each compatible cartridge is covered by a 1-year warranty with 1-year returns.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which toner does the Gestetner 6002 use?
The Type 6110D black toner cartridge, part 885400, rated up to 43,000 pages — the same cartridge as the Ricoh Aficio 1060.
Do I need a Gestetner-branded cartridge for a Gestetner machine?
No. The 6002 and its Ricoh twin are the same hardware, and both run on the Type 6110D listings above. The badge on the front panel does not change the supply.
What pack size suits a 60-class departmental machine?
Most sites keep the 885400 2-pack pattern: one in the machine, one in reserve. Shared supply rooms serving several platform machines often step up to the 4-pack.
What if the machine does not accept the cartridge?
Reseat it firmly and make sure all seals and packaging strips are removed. If an issue persists, the 1-year warranty and 1-year returns cover the cartridge.
