Key Information:

• High-Capacity Design: To match the speed of these 30-35 ppm machines, the black toner bottle is significantly larger than the color bottles to ensure fewer interruptions during high-volume monochrome print jobs.

• Smart Monitoring: Each cartridge includes a smart chip that communicates with the Ricoh Smart Operation Panel, giving users precise, real-time feedback on toner levels and an estimated “days remaining” count.

• Low-Temp Fusing: Part of the IM C series energy-saving design, the toner is chemically formulated to melt at lower temperatures, which reduces the machine’s warm-up time and carbon footprint.

• Related Supplies: To maintain optimal print quality for this specific series, it is recommended to monitor the Waste Toner Bottle (418425) and the Black Drum Unit (D0BK2211), which is rated for approximately 400,000 pages.
