Manual of product SP 311SFNw
Editorial note
The Ricoh SP 311SFNw printer stands out for its exceptional print quality, offering a maximum resolution of 1200 x 600 DPI, ensuring documents and images with vibrant and accurate colors. With a print speed of 28 pages per minute, it is ideal for handling high print volumes, while incorporating a duplex printing feature that contributes to a more eco-friendly use of resources. Additionally, its versatility with printing, copying, scanning, and faxing functions makes it a suitable choice for both professional and personal use. However, the printer has some notable drawbacks. The color scanning speed of 6 ppm may seem slow compared to some competitors, and the lack of an integrated memory card reader limits direct file transfer options. Its weight of 17,500 g makes it less portable, which can pose challenges during installation or relocation. Finally, the output capacity of only 50 sheets requires frequent interventions to empty the tray, which can be inconvenient in a high-volume work environment. In terms of scores, the user experience is overall very positive with a score of 85, thanks to a user-friendly interface and varied features. Performance is solid with a score of 78, although the scanning speed is an area for improvement. The design, functional and modern, receives a score of 75, but its weight may pose portability issues. In terms of value for money, the product scores 80, offering high-quality prints and versatile features, despite some limitations. Finally, technical support is deemed adequate with a score of 70, although there are still improvements to be made to satisfy the most demanding users. In summary, the Ricoh SP 311SFNw is a high-performing and versatile printer that meets many needs, but could benefit from improvements in certain areas to become even more competitive.Score details
