Ricoh SP 100 Printer against the background of similar peripheral devicesallocates an increased monthly print limit and the most reduced cost. It is the combination of these two factors that makes it possible to compete worthily with this little-known manufacturer in our peripheral equipment market with more well-known brands. In this case, the quality of products in this case is not worse, and in some cases even better.
The most budgetary segment of the market for printing equipment belongs to printer Ricoh SP 100. Reviews on such his belonging in most casesaccent attention. Such a printing solution is most suitable for creating small documentation output systems. It can be, for example, a small office or a house. The manufacturer included in the scope of supply the following:
The printer is based on laser printing technology.
Disk with all necessary software.
Power cord.
Warranty card.
Interface cord.
User guide.
Cartridge monochromatic starting.
Typical speed against the background of analogs can boast printer Ricoh SP 100. Only 10 seconds he needs to warm up.Then you need to wait another 13 seconds for the first page to exit. After that, such a laser printer can output up to 13 pages per minute. The carrier density should be in the range of 60 g / m2 up to 105 g / m2. The main format in this case is A4. Also supports most of the standard media, which is smaller in size than the previously mentioned A4.
Ricoh 407166 is the only cartridge modelfor such a peripheral product. Its print limit is 1200 pages. The printing ceiling for the month for this printer is set by developers at 10,000 pages. Therefore, the cartridge must be refilled 8-9 times. Again, the cartridge is designed for single use. After the resource is developed, it is blocked. The only way to reuse it is to install a special chip. But the firmware for such a peripheral device is extremely problematic.
Very energy efficient solution turned outprinter Ricoh SP 100. In the operating mode, it consumes no more than 220 watts. In the idle time, this value does not exceed 55 W. The highest level of the manufacturer is set at 40 dB. Most competing solutions consume about 300-500 watts. As a result, this Japanese manufacturer really got an energy-efficient product, and this side of it can be attributed with certainty to indisputable advantages and advantages. At least the owners say so about him.
Drivers manufacturer has developed only fortwo leading today's software platforms. One of them is MacOS. And the second one is "Windows". In the segment of the printing equipment market, to which the product in question is aimed, these operating systems occupy a dominant position, and this list is quite sufficient.
From the setup position, a simple peripheral device is printer Ricoh SP 100. Instruction in this case includes such stages:
We have as close as possible the printer to the computer, from which management will be implemented in the future.
We perform all necessary connections. The power cord provides power supply to the printing unit, and the interface cable - the data from the computer system.
Install the cartridge.
Install the necessary modification of the drivers.
In the end, do not forget to print a test page.
There are certain shortcomings in theperipheral solution. One of them is the repair of the printer Ricoh SP 100. It is quite difficult to find a service center that implements the repair of such a fairly rare peripheral equipment. The second minus is only one possible way of switching USB. But there is no need to count on something more exact in the budget segment of printing equipment. The pluses include the fact that this is a Japanese technique with high reliability. It has an acceptable speed, low power consumption and a democratic cost of 5000-6000 rubles. As a result, you get a really good solution for the economy class.
Let there be certain drawbacks, but they are not so significant. They are not critical for economy class decisions, to which the Japanese manufacturer refers printer Ricoh SP 100. It is perfect for home useor the implementation of a printing system in a small office. It can also be used in other cases as a supplement to the printing subsystem. Only in this case the composition of the document management system should be supplemented by other devices for printing, copying or scanning. In essence, there are no shortcomings in this laser printer. Even those in which the owners accent attention in reviews, are not so important. Especially in the context of a budget decision.
