MP 501SPF
As Ricoh's compact monochrome multifunction, the MP 501SPF prints, scans and faxes while taking up little more room than a desktop printer, and it runs on the 407823 black toner cartridge with a high-capacity rating of up to 25,000 pages per unit. This page stocks compatible 407823 cartridges for offices that work this little machine hard every day.
The combination is the point: a footprint small enough for a crowded department, paired with a cartridge big enough that toner stops being a weekly thought. Modern touches such as scan-to-email and fax forwarding let the MP 501SPF slot into current workflows rather than merely replacing an old fax, and the shared cartridge across its family, listed below, keeps the supply side as compact as the hardware.

Which cartridge should you buy?
One 407823 cartridge already carries up to 25,000 pages, so a single unit is a rational order for a department with moderate output. The 2-pack and 3-pack fit offices that run the MP 501SPF as their daily multifunction and want the next change to be a grab from the cupboard, covering about 50,000 and 75,000 pages. Step up to the 5-pack or 10-pack when the machine anchors a busy team or when its bigger sibling, the MP 601SPF, shares the same shelf stock: at roughly 125,000 to 250,000 pages, those boxes deliver the lowest cost per page here and turn toner into a rare, planned purchase.
Chip, toner and everyday use
The compatible cartridges on this page carry the chip the MP 501SPF needs, so a fresh unit registers and reports its level across print, scan-to-print and fax jobs. Before fitting, rock the cartridge slowly from side to side to level the toner inside, strip the seals, and push it in until it seats with a click. Yield figures assume pages at roughly 5 percent coverage, so departments printing dense reports will cycle sooner than the headline number implies. Store the spare sealed and flat in a cool drawer; with changes this infrequent, knowing where the spare lives matters as much as having one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which toner cartridge does the MP 501SPF use?
The 407823 black cartridge, a high-capacity unit rated for up to 25,000 pages. It is sold above as a single cartridge and in 2, 3, 5 and 10 packs.
Does this cartridge fit the MP 601SPF as well?
Yes. The same 407823 also fits the MP 501SPFTL and the MP 601SPF, which is why a shared multipack stock works so well across these models.
Will scanning documents wear out the cartridge faster?
No, scanning and fax forwarding move pages electronically and use no toner. Only printed output, including copies and received faxes that print, draws on the cartridge.
Are these genuine Ricoh cartridges, and what cover do they have?
They are compatible replacements with a working chip, each backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns. That cover is the same across every pack size.
