The Ricoh Fax 3310L is an efficient communications and workflow solution for a small office because of its advanced 33.6Kbps fax modem and impressive print speeds. The Ricoh 3310L fax machine is a versatile choice, but the Fax 3310L mono laser printer is heavy, oversized, and lacks a few features, which could have made it more efficient in a work place.
Design
This is a plain paper fax machine with a monochrome laser printer, digital copier, and a basic scanner. The Ricoh Fax 3310L laser fax printer may seem striking because of its boxy and bulky appearance that demands attention, especially with the plastic and coloured automatic document feeder on top. The control panel is small and quite busy with small buttons clustered together around a 2-line display screen. The Ricoh Type 1260 fax toner for the Ricoh 3310L fax printer has an estimated capacity of 5,000 pages.
Advantages
This Energy Star-qualified multifunction fax machine boasts 15ppm print speeds, speedy fax transmissions, and expandable memory at up to 40MB. Text documents are sharp and legible. In case of a power outage, the back-up battery of the Ricoh Fax 3310L makes it run for up to 12 hours. The device is an efficient and speedy copier, too, and the fax machine of the Ricoh Fax 3310L is well-equipped for delayed transmission, error correction, and fax forwarding.
Disadvantages
Unfortunately, the Ricoh 3310L Fax can only print in monochrome and it is an oversized machine that weighs 18.5Kg, which makes mobility limited while setting it up can be difficult. The resolution is only limited to 600x600dpi and the standard memory is quite small, at only 3MB. The handset is only optional, which means additional costs for the Ricoh Fax 3310L. The device is only compatible with Windows. Scans may not appear as vibrant and clear as the original.
