Savin 4015

The Savin 4015 is where many small workgroups started with shared copying: it is the Savin-badged twin of Ricoh's Aficio 2015 platform, a compact black-and-white multifunction machine that combines entry-level copying with network printing in one modest footprint. As a first step up from a basic desktop printer or a plain copier, it asked very little of the office — including on supplies. Copying and printing both run through one black cartridge, the Type 1130D, which Ricoh identifies by part number 888215 and rates for approximately 9,000 pages.

Machines like the 4015 tend to sit in small offices, school departments and back rooms where one device quietly handles the whole team's paperwork. There is no IT department watching toner levels on a unit like this, which is exactly why a single-cartridge design suits it: when output fades, there is one part to order, one part to swap, and no color set to keep track of. Keeping a spare on the shelf means the next low-toner moment costs two minutes instead of two days.

All three listings below are the same cartridge — choose by how many you want on hand:

Type 1130D 888215 — 2 Pack	Black	Approx. 9,000 pages per cartridge
Type 1130D 888215 — 4 Pack	Black	Approx. 9,000 pages per cartridge

Which cartridge should you buy?

Start with how hard this machine actually works. A 4015 handling a few hundred pages a week will take months to work through one 9,000-page cartridge, so the single is the sensible default for light duty, and for a first purchase while you confirm the fit. The 2-pack earns its place when the 4015 is the only copier-printer a small team has: one cartridge in the machine, one in the cupboard, and reordering stops being urgent. The 4-pack makes sense mainly where several machines from this cartridge family share one supply shelf, because the price per cartridge is best there and the stock serves every unit. Whichever quantity you pick, the cartridge in the box is identical — only the count and the per-cartridge price change.

Chip, toner and everyday use

That 9,000-page figure is an estimate worked out at 5% page coverage, the industry yardstick: pages of ordinary correspondence land near it, while dense forms and heavy graphics draw toner faster. When prints start to lighten near the end of a cartridge's life, slide it out and rock it gently from side to side — redistributing the toner inside often restores even output for a while longer. Keep the replacement sealed in its bag until the moment you fit it, and store it flat in a cool, dry spot out of direct light; the 4015 will recognize the fresh cartridge as soon as it is seated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Savin 4015 the same machine as the Ricoh Aficio 2015?

Under the badge, yes. Savin sold this platform through its own dealer channel while Ricoh sold the identical hardware as the Aficio 2015, and both badges take the same Type 1130D black cartridge, part number 888215.

Which toner cartridge does the 4015 use?

One cartridge covers everything the machine does: the Type 1130D in black, reference 888215, rated for approximately 9,000 pages. This page stocks that one cartridge in singles, 2-packs and 4-packs.

Are the cartridges sold here original Savin parts?

They are compatible replacements for the Type 1130D, built to match the original cartridge's fit and rated yield, and they carry a 1-year warranty with 1-year returns.

How long should one cartridge last in a small office?

Divide roughly 9,000 pages by your monthly volume: an office printing 600 pages a month is looking at well over a year from one cartridge, which is why most 4015 owners simply reorder when the spare goes into the machine.
