Savin 3515F
The Savin 3515F adds fax to Savin's 3515 platform, matching the Ricoh 1515F feature for feature on the same engineered hardware. Its supply is the Type 1170D black toner cartridge, bought under the Ricoh number 888260 and rated for roughly 7,000 pages. Every variant of the 3515 drinks from this same cartridge, which is exactly how fleet managers like it.
Savin positioned the F variant for professional offices where a fax confirmation still matters — orders acknowledged, records transmitted, signatures returned on paper. Those offices tend to run mixed fleets: a base 3515 at one desk, the fax model at another, perhaps the multifunction version down the hall. One shared cartridge across all of them turns supply ordering into a single recurring line instead of a per-machine puzzle.

Which cartridge should you buy?
The 3515F gives you no cartridge decision at all in one sense — Type 1170D is the cartridge, in every listing here — so the thinking goes to stock depth. A single cartridge keeps a quiet machine fed. Offices whose fax traffic is business-critical lean toward the 2-pack: a confirmation that cannot print is a record that does not exist, and a shelf spare removes that risk for very little money. Fleets with several 3515-family machines consolidate on the 4-pack, sharing one pool of spares across all of them. The cartridge is the same approximately 7,000-page unit in every pack, and each one carries a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.
Chip, toner and everyday use
Install the compatible cartridge until it seats with a positive click and the 3515F's chip reader will take it from there. Worth knowing on fax machines: received faxes print immediately, including overnight, so a cartridge that fades at 6 p.m. can mean faint records by morning — another reason the spare matters more on this variant. Yield is quoted at standard coverage, and faxed pages, often dense with small print, can run a little heavier. Keep unopened spares in a cool, dry cupboard, and give a cartridge that has sat for months a gentle rock before fitting it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which toner does the Savin 3515F take?
The Type 1170D black cartridge, Ricoh part 888260, at roughly 7,000 pages. It is the same supply used by the rest of the 3515 family and the wider platform range.
Does the 3515F use the same cartridge as the base Savin 3515?
Yes. The fax equipment changes the machine's features, not its toner. The Savin 3515 and the 3515F share the Type 1170D cartridge, so one stock serves both.
How do I know which number to reorder?
Look for 888260 — that is the Ricoh part number the Type 1170D cartridge is catalogued under. If your current box carries either label, you are looking at the same cartridge.
Do you sell multipacks for the 3515F?
Yes — alongside the single, this page lists a 2-pack and a 4-pack of the identical cartridge. Multipacks simply lower the per-cartridge cost and keep spares on hand.
