The innovation behind the printing system of the Ricoh Aficio SG3100SNw A4 colour gel printer makes it more versatile and capable of producing high-quality colour output on a wider range of media types. Apart from that, the GELJET Ricoh Aficio SG 3100SNw printer is praised for its multifunction capabilities and compact size. However, the SG3100SNw gel printer can be difficult to operate.
Design
The Ricoh GELJET Aficio SG3100SNw printer weighs 15.3Kg and measures 399mm wide, 436.5mm deep, and 329.5mm tall, providing it an almost cube-shaped appearance with a sleek and semi-industrial style. It's distinctive for its busy control panel and front-loading output trays, which can handle a standard 250 sheets and 100 sheets respectively. The Ricoh SG-3100SNw GELJET printer has a 33.6Kbps G3-compatible fax machine, flatbed scanner, a printer that uses liquid gel ink, and a digital copier. The Aficio SG3100SNw GELJET runs on 64MB of memory, and its main interfaces are USB 2.0, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi.
Advantages
There are different networking options to choose from. It prints fast, at up to 12ppm in monochrome and colour. The Ricoh Aficio SG3100SNw multifunction printer can be configured for Wi-Fi connectivity. Downtime is minimised because it only takes 35 seconds for the device to warm-up. The Ricoh Aficio SG 3100SNw colour inkjet printer supports multiple copying at up to 99 copies at a time. Paper handling is expandable to 850 sheets. PRCS printer language and more TCP/IP network protocols are supported. With the option to use high capacity Ricoh SG3100SNw gel ink cartridges, users can cut printing costs and increase productivity from this device.
Disadvantages
The Aficio SG3100SNw multifunction printer has a cluttered operator panel with small buttons, which can make it difficult to program on-board. It's rather heavy and somewhat bulky, too. LAN and internet fax are not supported. It doesn't have a flexible fax facility, so users are better off with a separate fax machine than settling for one offered by this device. The Ricoh Aficio SG3100SNw liquid gel printer lacks expandability in memory and paper capacity, so it may become inefficient for the growing office.
