The Ricoh MP C2004SP is a full colour, multi-functional printer, well suited for almost any type of office use. This printer has capabilities to print, copy, scan and fax. Useful features, such as an attractive and intuitive touchscreen control panel and excellent paper handling, put this printer a step above the rest. This printer unfortunately takes a while to warm up and copy resolution is at a standard measurement.
Design
This printer weighs about 83kg. It measures 587 x 685 x 788mm. It features a large and intuitive colour touchscreen that measures just about 10 inches. The large paper tray handles allow for a solid grip and the black and white colour scheme ensures it looks good in any office setting.
Advantages
The Ricoh MP C2004SP is a colour, multi-functional machine. It prints quickly, at around 20 pages per minute in colour or black. The black toner yield is impressive, at around 15,000 prints. Cyan, magenta and yellow colour cartridges all yield about 9,500 prints each. Print resolution is outstanding, at up to 1200 x 1200 dpi. Even the scanner resolution is up to 1200 dpi. The SD slot, wireless and Bluetooth capabilities make work life easier. With its sleek finisher options, such as booklet finisher and automatic document reverse feeder, this printer allows you to keep your collating in-house. To top it off, this multi-functional machine has an input paper capacity of up to 2,300 sheets.
Disadvantages
Unfortunately, the Ricoh MPC2004SP printer takes around half a minute to warm up. It doesn’t hurt productivity too much, but you might have to wait at the printer for a while. The copier resolution is only about 600 dpi, and while this is lower than the print resolution, it is very standard. It would be nice to see this printer add the single-pass duplex scanning feature, since that allows scanning both sides in one pass.
