Expected page output and replacement cycles
Each toner cartridge in this series yields up to 2,000 pages based on ISO/IEC 19798 test standards at 5% page coverage. Because all four colours share identical page yields, replacement frequency stays predictable during balanced office printing.

Pro Tip
When installing a new toner cartridge, gently rock it horizontally five to six times before removing the protective seal. This redistributes settled toner particles inside the hopper, ensuring immediate even coverage and preventing faint patches on your initial output.
Match Your Printing Habits to the Right Ricoh 842386-842389 Toner Cartridge Pack
If all your colours are running low, the 4-Pack 842386-842389 Genuine (from $560.61) covers every colour in one order and qualifies for free delivery.
If only one colour has run dry, there's no need to replace the rest - a single Genuine 842386 cartridge (from $110.19) is the lowest-cost way to keep printing.
For a high-volume office, buying in bulk cuts the cost per unit further - the 8-Pack 842386-842389 Genuine (from $1,109.77) is the equivalent option if you'd rather stick with official ink. This qualifies for free delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if one colour toner runs empty on the Ricoh IM C300F?
The printer stops colour printing jobs to protect internal components, but you can configure print driver settings to allow emergency monochrome printing using the remaining 842386 Black cartridge until the empty colour unit is replaced.
Do all four cartridges in the 842386-842389 series wear down at the same rate?
Although all four cartridges share a standard 2,000-page rating, Black toner typically depletes faster due to standard document text. Colour cartridges (842387, 842388 and 842389) drain based on graphic intensity, so keeping extra Black units on hand balances replacement cycles.
Why does image quality fade before reaching the 2,000-page yield rating?
Toner yield ratings assume 5% page coverage under standard test conditions. High-density coverage, such as full-page charts or logos, consumes toner faster per page, which reduces total output before hitting the 2,000-page mark.
What is the difference between individual codes like 842386 and the series code 842386-89?
The code 842386 represents the individual Black toner, while 842387, 842388 and 842389 denote Cyan, Magenta and Yellow respectively. The code 842386-89 (or 842386-842389) is used to identify the full four-colour multipack bundle.
