Ricoh Aficio MP1100 Printer Review
Expert review of the Ricoh Aficio MP1100 printer
Our Verdict:
A medium-sized office can streamline its workflow and improve productivity with the Ricoh Aficio MP1100 MFP, a high-quality digital copier with fast duplex and simplex printing capabilities and a sturdy build that is built for larger jobs. The Ricoh Aficio MP1100 multifunction digital imaging system offers full-colour scanning and user-friendly operation, but the expensive price and absence of colour printing make it less reliable for some users.
Design
The base unit looks boxy but understated, measuring 1,476mm tall, 860mm deep, and 870mm wide. It weighs less than 305Kg, but it comes with a stand and wheeled pedestal for easy movement. The Ricoh Aficio MP1100 printer uses two-by-four way laser diode array with electro photographic printing. It has two built-in 160GB hard disk drives for storage and the MP-1100 copier runs on standard 512MB of memory. The standard interfaces are USB 2.0 and Ethernet. There are two 500-sheet trays and two 1,000-sheet tandem trays, and the output bin can handle up to 3,000 sheets. The operator panel is a large colour LCD touchscreen.
Advantages
This is a multifunctional digital copier with impressive speeds of up to 110ppm in monochrome and automatic duplexing as a standard function. The Aficio MP1100 digital copier can handle paper that is up to A3 in size. The device can be shared in a network, and management is easy with a centralised administration programme. Up to nine paper feeding stations can be integrated into the Ricoh Aficio MP1100 black and white multifunction printer, while high volume production can support up to two million pages per month. High quality output is produced in 1200x1200dpi resolution. Stored documents can easily be reviewed because of the large tilting display screen. Toner cartridges for the Ricoh MP1100 multifunction system only need changing after approximately 60,000 pages which helps to increase productivity.
Disadvantages
The Ricoh Aficio MP1100 mono laser printer is a bulky and heavy machine, and it can get larger with additional media handling facilities integrated into the base unit. This device could improve with built-in finishing capabilities. Instead, users would have to spend extra for the Ricoh MP 1100 if they want additional finishers and higher paper capacity. The scanner and printer are optional functions.
