Savin 8020D

Standard duplexing plus the quickest engine in the series make the Savin 8020D a print-room favorite: it is the rebadged twin of Ricoh's Aficio 2020D, and high-volume two-sided work comes straight off its tray finished, with no manual turning and no second pass. Its toner could hardly be simpler — the black Type 1130D cartridge, looked up under part number 888215 and rated for approximately 9,000 pages.

Two-sided printing reshapes a department's costs in an interesting way. Paper spending falls sharply on long documents, while the page count the engine produces — the number that consumes toner — stays exactly where it was. Offices that duplex by default therefore find their supply budget tilting: fewer paper cases in the store room, and a cartridge cadence worth planning around the machine's busiest cycles.

Toner Cartridges for Savin 8020D

For the 8020D, the cartridge choice is the familiar one — a single and two multipacks:

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?

Count pages, not sheets, before you choose. A duplex workflow doubles the printed pages in every ream's worth of finished documents, so an 8020D working through long reports reaches a cartridge's 9,000-page rating sooner than its output trays suggest. Print rooms and busy departments should default to the 4-pack: lowest per-cartridge price, and the stock turns over fast enough that shelf age is never a question. The 2-pack covers moderate two-sided volume comfortably. The single serves best as the stopgap while a multipack ships. Inside every box: the same Type 1130D cartridge.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Remember that the yield rating counts each printed page, and a duplexed sheet holds two of them — one per side, each measured against the standard 5% coverage estimate. Installation is unchanged by the duplex unit: pull the seal clear, slide the cartridge home until it seats, and printing resumes. If a long run starts to fade near a cartridge's end, remove it and rock it gently side to side; the redistributed toner commonly carries the job to completion. Keep spares sealed, flat and away from heat sources in the print room.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same cartridge as the Savin 8020 uses?

Identical. The D adds duplexing in the paper path; the toner is the same Type 1130D black cartridge, part number 888215, across both models.

Does duplex printing change how long a cartridge lasts?

It changes paper use, not toner use per printed page. Expect roughly 9,000 printed pages per cartridge at typical coverage — remembering that each two-sided sheet accounts for two printed pages.

What pack size fits a print room?

The 4-pack, in most cases: turnover is fast, the per-cartridge price is the lowest available here, and a spare is always within reach when a long run is mid-flight.

Prints faded in the middle of a big job — is the cartridge faulty?

Almost certainly it is simply near empty. A gentle side-to-side shake redistributes the last toner and usually restores solid output long enough to finish; then fit the spare.
