Manual of product IM C300F
Editorial note
The Ricoh IM C300F is a printer that stands out for its exceptional print quality, achieving a maximum resolution of 1200 x 1200 DPI. With a print speed of 30 pages per minute, it is perfectly suited for demanding work environments, thus allowing for increased efficiency in document processing. Among its advantages, the built-in duplex printing feature is also noted, which contributes to optimized resource use by reducing paper waste. Its versatile connectivity, including USB, Ethernet, and wireless options, facilitates integration with various devices and networks. Additionally, its maximum input capacity of 2000 sheets is ideal for handling large print volumes without interruption. However, the Ricoh IM C300F has some drawbacks. The lack of automatic duplex copying functionality may slow down the copying process for those who need to produce double-sided documents. Furthermore, its internal memory of 2048 MB may prove insufficient for intensive printing tasks, limiting efficiency in very active office environments. The maximum power consumption of 1200 W can also represent a high cost for companies concerned about their ecological footprint. Finally, its weight of 47 kg makes it impractical to move, which can pose problems in tight workspaces. In summary, the Ricoh IM C300F offers good performance and interesting features, but some limitations, particularly regarding copying and energy consumption, should be taken into account when purchasing.Score details
