Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Ricoh Aficio 240w is actually for

Most equipment pages just tell you what a device does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We offer equipment for every business need, but the right machine depends on your specific workflow.

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You're an architect, engineer, or small CAD shop that prints and copies mono D-size and E-size plans 50-200 prints a month.
  • You need a single roll-fed mono wide-format MFP with copy, print, and scan in one box — and you have the floor space (42.5 inches wide, 218 lb).
  • You print primarily blueprints, line drawings, and mono CAD output where 600 dpi and 7 ppm are plenty.
  • You're replacing a legacy diazo or Oce mono plotter and want a digital workflow without committing to a new Ricoh MP W series.
  • You buy used or refurb wide-format and the Aficio 240W price/performance still pencils out for low-volume work.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 200-500 D-size pages a month — within the 80,000-page/month duty cycle but you'll feel the 7 ppm speed.
  • You scan occasional drawings to PDF — works, but the integrated scanner is mono only and predates the cleaner color scan workflows on the MP W series.
  • You only have one paper roll size in rotation — single-roll capacity is the limit.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need color wide-format — this is mono only. Get a Ricoh MP CW2200SP or HP DesignJet color.
  • You need to keep two or four roll sizes loaded — get the Aficio 470W (2 rolls) or 480W (4 rolls).
  • You print over 500 D-size pages a month — the 240W's speed becomes the bottleneck. Move up to the 470W/480W or the modern MP W series.
  • You need fast first-print times — 22 seconds first copy is slow by today's standards.
  • The Aficio 240W is end-of-life — Ricoh no longer ships parts for it through standard channels. Buy with a service contract that has parts inventory, or expect to source from secondary market.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Ricoh Aficio 240W is a legacy mono wide-format multifunction (copy/print/scan) plotter aimed at small architecture, engineering, and construction shops that print and copy mono D-size (22x34) and E-size (34x44) plans 50-200 prints a month. It runs at 7 ppm general (4 cpm at D-size), prints up to 36 inches wide on a single paper roll, and outputs at 600 x 600 dpi — fine resolution for line work and CAD. First copy out is 22 seconds, monthly duty cycle is rated 80,000 pages, and the unit measures 42.5 x 25 x 23 inches and weighs 218 lb. Connectivity is 10/100 Ethernet plus parallel and USB; the integrated scanner is mono and feeds copy/scan workflows that scan to folder or email when the network module is configured. The Aficio 240W is end-of-life — Ricoh's current wide-format catalog is the MP CW/W series — so most of these in service today are second-owner units bought used or refurbished. The thing buyers regret: not pricing the service contract first. Parts for the 240W are scarce in standard distribution, so buy with a contract that guarantees parts inventory, or factor in secondary-market sourcing. Original MSRP was $11,870.

FAQ

Ricoh Aficio 240w, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Ricoh Aficio 240w ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner typically yields around 2,200 pages at 6% coverage. The replacement toner model is the Type 1160W (888029), which is a high-yield black toner cartridge with a yield of approximately 2,200 pages. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Ricoh Aficio 240w is designed for small offices with a monthly volume of 50-200 prints, while the Ricoh Aficio 470w is built for higher volumes of 500-2,000 prints per month. The 470w offers faster printing at 7 cpm for D-size and 4 cpm for E-size, compared to the 240w's 4 cpm for D-size. Additionally, the 470w can hold two paper rolls simultaneously, reducing the need for manual roll swaps, and has a larger footprint (50 x 29 x 47 inches) and higher weight (485 lb). For small offices with lower print volumes, the Ricoh Aficio 240w is a more compact and cost-effective choice.
The Ricoh Aficio 240w is well-suited for small businesses, particularly those in architecture, engineering, and construction, with a monthly print volume of 50-200 pages. It offers a print speed of 7 ppm (4 cpm at D-size) and a monthly duty cycle of 80,000 pages, making it capable of handling typical small business needs. However, if your business requires higher volumes or color printing, consider stepping up to a commercial option.
No, the Ricoh Aficio 240w is a monochrome printer and does not support color printing. If you need color printing capabilities, consider alternatives such as the Ricoh MP C3004, Ricoh MP C4504, or Ricoh MP C6004.
