Savin 4018D

Two-sided documents finish themselves on the Savin 4018D. It takes Ricoh's Aficio 2018D platform — the same proven hardware with a Savin nameplate — and adds automatic duplexing, so reports, manuals and training packs come off the tray already duplexed instead of being turned by hand. Supplies stay exactly as simple as on the plain model: one black Type 1130D cartridge, ordered by part number 888215, rated for approximately 9,000 pages.

Duplexing is a paper feature, not a toner feature, and that distinction saves offices money twice over. Paper use on long documents drops substantially, while each printed side uses toner just as it would on a single-sided sheet. For teams whose output is dominated by long, double-sided documents, the 4018D trims the paper budget without asking anything new of the person who orders the cartridges.

Toner Cartridges for Savin 4018D

Duplex or not, the 4018D takes the one cartridge below, in three quantities:

Cartridge	Color	Page Yield
Type 1130D 888215 — Single	Black	Approx. 9,000 pages
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?

Think in printed pages, not sheets. A duplex-heavy office can move a surprising number of pages through this machine — a 100-sheet report is 200 printed pages — so cartridge life in calendar terms is shorter than the raw 9,000-page rating suggests. If the 4018D produces training materials or reports every week, the 2-pack keeps a spare permanently in rotation, and the 4-pack lowers the per-cartridge cost for the heaviest users. The single still suits offices that duplex only occasionally. All three listings hold the same Type 1130D cartridge; you are choosing stock depth, not a different product.

Chip, toner and everyday use

The published yield counts printed pages at 5% coverage; a two-sided sheet therefore accounts for two pages of that rating, one per side. Nothing about duplexing changes how the cartridge is fitted — remove the packaging seal, slide the unit in until it seats, and the machine registers it. Store the spare where the paper lives if you like, but keep it sealed, flat and away from radiators or sunny windowsills: heat and light are the two things that age a cartridge sitting in reserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the duplexing 4018D need a special toner cartridge?

No. Duplexing happens in the paper path, not the cartridge, so the 4018D uses the same Type 1130D black cartridge, part number 888215, as the rest of this family.

Will printing two-sided make one cartridge last twice as long?

It halves paper, not toner. Each printed side draws roughly the same toner it would as a single-sided page, so expect the cartridge to cover about 9,000 printed pages at typical coverage either way.

Which pack suits an office that prints manuals every week?

Start with the 2-pack so a spare is always waiting, and move to the 4-pack if you find yourself reordering more than a few times a year — the cartridge is identical, only the price per unit improves.
