Ricoh MP 2852 Printer Review

Some offices don't need an overly-bulky multifunction laser copier, which is what makes the Ricoh Aficio MP 2852 a great choice for these small environments. It offers some of the basics, like fast speeds of up to 33 pages per minute, and the MP 2852SP adds scanning and printing, allowing buyers to choose the features they need the most. Those with small budgets will appreciate the affordability of Ricoh MP 2852 printer toner as well.

Experienced users know that it's not all about the maximum speed, and the MP 2852 has a first copy out time of less than 4.5 seconds, responding quickly to a new task so that users can stay productive. It also has a fast warm-up time of less than 20 seconds, so that it can get to work quickly in the morning. The unit has a surprisingly compact footprint of 23.1x25.7 inches, and is 27.9 inches tall. The "SP" model is a bit taller, as 32.6 inches. The unit weighs 143 pounds, not including the weight of the Aficio MP 2852 toner, which adds very little.

The automatic document feeder is an optional feature, but can handle up to 50 sheets at a time for rapid scanning, and it has a reversing function for duplex scanning as well. When printing and scanning are enabled, users have the ability to send scans to email addresses as an alternative to faxing, as well as saving to network folders and more. An Auto Job Promote feature automatically moves to the next task in the print queue when resources are unavailable, keeping things moving.

Ricoh MP 2852 toner cartridges have fairly large capacities of 11,000 pages each. When combined with the low cost of Aficio MP 2852 toner cartridges, users will benefit from a low cost per page that is a mere fraction of a penny. Even the OEM Ricoh MP 2852 toner is very affordable, which makes shopping for alternatives less necessary.

Fast speeds, affordable replacement toners, and customization options make the MP 2852 a great choice for a medium-sized office. While the basic configuration is very capable, users will get the best value by adding the printing and scanning functions as well.
