The compact Ricoh Aficio CL7200 colour laser printer is aimed at workgroups that need to print on tabloid-sized media. The Aficio CL-7200 colour printer promises fast print speeds in both colour and monochrome, the convenience of two-sided printing, and versatile networking options. However, the high initial price of the Ricoh Aficio CL7200 laser printer could be too much for a small or medium-sized office.
Design
The device looks plain with a simple frame that measures 26.7 inches in diameter and 22.6 inches wide. It is easy to connect the Ricoh Aficio CL7200 printer to a single computer via USB, or to a network of computers via Ethernet. The CL7200 printer has a standard duplexer and a minimalist control panel, and it runs on an Intel Celeron 733MHz processor with 256MB of memory. The Ricoh CL7200 toner yields are estimated to be 24,000 pages for black or 10,000 pages per colour toner.
Advantages
The Ricoh Aficio CL7200 is a workgroup-friendly choice with built-in Ethernet and ample memory, which can be expanded to a maximum of 512MB. The device features a 40GB hard disk drive. Users can print on a variety of media including labels, envelopes, transparencies, recycled paper, and banners that are a maximum of 12x18 inches in size. The maximum media capacity of the Ricoh Aficio CL7200 workgroup printer is 3,100 sheets. The print speeds range from 28ppm in colour to 32ppm in monochrome.
Disadvantages
The high price tag is one of the setbacks of the Ricoh CL7200 colour printer. The device could be better and worth the money if it offered a copier and scanner even as options. The Aficio CL7200 printer deserves a larger control panel for ease in operation.
