Ricoh’s Smart Device Print&Scan app allowed us to view our Dropbox and Google Drive accounts from an iPad, and we successfully printed files from them too, but this printer doesn’t support the app’s Scan Import function. Scanning to or printing from cloud services may prove difficult, with poor support compared to rivals. The printer doesn’t support Apple AirPrint or NFC, either. While both wired and wireless modes are available, both can’t be active simultaneously. That’s where the good news on features ends. If you want to control access to more expensive printer functions – such as colour printing and copying – then the Restrict feature requires users to enter a registered name. Using the PCL6 driver, we locked print jobs with a PIN and walked to the unit to release them (this also helps to prevent pile-ups of forgotten print jobs). We created scan destinations to FTP servers, network shares and email addresses, which are accessed from the control panel using their assigned speed-dial numbers.īusinesses with an eye on security will appreciate Ricoh’s extra features. The printer’s 200-entry address book is set up from the control panel or, more easily, from its web UI. We had to run it again for the PostScript 3 driver and then for a third time to load the LAN-Fax driver for desktop faxing. After finding the printer on our network, the utility loaded only Ricoh’s PCL6 and TWAIN drivers. Its 250-sheet paper tray can be supplemented with a 500-sheet lower tray. The printer sits comfortably on a desk, and claims speeds of 20ppm for colour and mono prints. And if you use Ricoh’s new ultra-high-yield cartridges, the costs reduce to 3.6c and 4.4c. While a glance at the mono LCD control panel on the Ricoh SP C252SF tells you that features aren’t its strong point, you do get a competent colour A4 MFP with 4-in-1 print, copy, fax and scan options, wired and wireless operation, and exceptionally low running costs.Įven using standard high-yield inks, print costs are reasonable: mono and colour pages cost 4.4c and 6.1c, respectively.
