Manual of product Aficio SP 4100N
Editorial note
The Ricoh Aficio SP 4100N printer stands out for its solid performance, offering a printing speed of 31 pages per minute and a high resolution of 600 x 1200 DPI. These features make it an interesting choice for professional work environments where speed and clarity of prints are essential. Additionally, its maximum input capacity of 1600 sheets allows for efficient handling of large volumes of documents without interruption, which is a major asset for maintaining productivity. However, the lack of color printing and duplex printing functionality may be a drawback for users needing to produce more varied documents or reduce their paper consumption. Furthermore, although the internal memory is sufficient for routine tasks, its limit of 384 MB could pose issues when printing more complex or large documents. In terms of energy consumption, the printer is environmentally friendly, with low consumption in economy mode, which helps save on electricity bills. However, its weight of 17,500 g can make it difficult to move, a point to consider for those who may need to reposition it frequently. Overall, the Ricoh Aficio SP 4100N offers good value for money, especially for offices requiring efficient document management, while having some limitations to consider based on the specific needs of users.Score details
