The Ricoh Aficio AP400 is a workgroup monochrome laser printer that offers excellent productivity with its 26 ppm rated print speed. It is ideal for those in need of a dedicated black and white printer with excellent print resolution. The Ricoh Aficio AP400 monochrome laser printer produces high quality outputs up to 1200x1200 dpi, which makes it an excellent tool for producing highly presentable documents. Unfortunately, the AP-400 printer can only do a single function, as opposed to competing models that provide scanning, copying, and sometimes fax capabilities.
Design
Measuring only about 15.3x1707x13.6 inches, the Ricoh Aficio AP400 sits well even on small desktops. The Aficio AP400 laser printer is designed for wired connectivity, featuring dual interfaces, including USB and parallel ports for fast data transfer. It uses laser technology and has a 300 MHz processor, in addition to its expandable RAM, which can be maximised up to 320 MB. The network-ready Ricoh Aficio AP400 workgroup printer allows versatile media handling, thanks to its multimedia paper tray that can accommodate labels, recycled paper, envelopes and transparencies.
Advantages
Among the best selling points of the Ricoh Aficio AP400 black and white printer are its speed, high-resolution, versatile media handling, and excellent media capacity, which can further be expanded to 1,600 sheets. The Ricoh Aficio AP400 desktop printer has a monthly duty cycle of up to 150,000 pages, though it is not advisable to exceed the recommended page per month number to prolong the unit's life. Productivity is maximised by the Ricoh AP400 toner which prints up to 43,000 pages.
Disadvantages
The Aficio AP-400 printer is suitable for users looking for a dedicated monochrome printer. However, the AP400 mono laser printer is not as practical for those in need of a multifunction device that offers printing, scanning, copying, and fax at the same time.
