Is this the right printer for you?
Who the Ricoh Mp 401spf 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.
Works fine
You'll be happy if...
- It's fine for legal, accounting, or insurance offices.
- It's fine for shared front-desk and back-office.
- It's fine on a credenza footprint.
Look elsewhere
Skip this if...
- Skip this if you need true 1200 x 1200 dpi.
- Skip this if you need 11 x 17 ledger.
- Skip this if you need color.
Full specifications
Every spec, no guessing
A compact A4 mono MFP, the Ricoh MP 401SPF runs 42 letter pages per minute monochrome at 1200 x 600 dpi up to legal size with built-in fax. The 4.3-inch operation panel handles basic queue management, base input is 500 sheets across one tray plus 100-sheet bypass expandable to 1,600, and PostScript 3 emulation, PCL5e/PCL6, scan-to-folder/email/URL, and auto duplex ship standard. The 50-sheet ARDF supports duplex originals. The SPF designation covers the fax module. The one regret is the 1200 x 600 dpi resolution rather than the true 1200 x 1200 dpi found on later A4 IM-series units.| Print technology | Multifunction |
