Aimed at small but busy offices, the Ricoh Aficio SP1100SF mono laser printer is a better choice for multi-tasking because of the integrated fax and lower running costs. The Ricoh Aficio SP 1100SF multifunction printer is quite similar to a predecessor in terms of other aspects, but Ricoh could have done better with this unit if they increased the resolution, print speeds, and the memory capacity.
Design
Integrated with a G3 and ITU-compatible 33.6Kbps fax machine, the Ricoh Aficio SP1100SF printer is a space and money-saving solution for a small office that needs a compact and lightweight device. The Aficio SP1100SF laser printer is only 13Kg heavy and measures 344mm tall, 386mm deep, and 447mm wide. The machine's centrepiece is the large control panel with minimal buttons, one-touch controls, and a small display screen. The paper cassette is at the bottom, under the bypass tray, while the output tray is in the space between the paper loading area and the control panel.
Advantages
Users can increase their productivity because of the fast print speeds (up to 20ppm), scan-to-USB feature, and multiple copy production of up to 99 copies. There is a 50-sheet automatic document feeder integrated into the Ricoh Aficio SP1100SF mono multifunction printer. Media handling is versatile and the fax machine of the Ricoh Aficio SP1100SF MFP laser printer can store up to 125 pages in its 2MB memory. Toner replacement for the Ricoh SP1100SF is simple with only the black Ricoh Aficio SP1100SF cartridge to install.
Disadvantages
The Ricoh Aficio SP1100SF A4 mono printer can only be shared with a few users, or its performance will significantly slow down because of the limited 32MB shared memory. The scanner, copier, and printer's resolutions are only limited to 600dpi. The paper capacity of the Ricoh Aficio SP 1100SF all-in-one is not expandable.
