Ricoh Aficio 2238C Toner Cartridges

The Ricoh Aficio 2238C is a highly-configurable multifunction color laser printer, copier, and scanner. With speeds of up to 38 pages per minute, it is capable of handling the load in a medium or large office environment, with a fast first copy out time of 8 seconds. Even with four colors to replace, the cost of Ricoh 2238C printer toner is affordable, thanks to large-capacity supplies.

The unit supports a print resolution of 1200x1200 dpi, and a maximum paper size of 11x17 inches. It starts out with two 500-sheet paper trays and a 100-sheet bypass tray, and is expandable to a maximum of 3,100 sheets with all optional trays installed. Despite its fast response time for new tasks, its warm-up time is a little slow, at around 101 seconds.

The machine itself is fairly bulky, with a weight of 264 pounds that doesn't include the Aficio 2238C toner supplies, but its starting dimensions are 33.8x26.4x27.5 inches, so it could conceivably fit in a busy small office with a little extra room to spare. For a direct connection, the only option is a parallel port, but an ethernet port is provided to connect it directly to a network, and most offices will go this route anyway.

If replacing multiple toners for color printing seems daunting, users can rest easy knowing that Ricoh 2238C toner cartridges are not only affordably-priced, but come with large capacities. Each of the color Aficio 2238C toner cartridges can yield up to 10,000 pages, while the lone black Ricoh 2238C toner supply provides up to 19,000 pages before it needs replacing.

While the Ricoh Aficio 2238C laser printer seems geared toward large, high-volume office environments, it is worth considering for medium or even small offices that need a high level of output. Its upgradeability makes it easy to start small and build up from there, and low-cost supplies keep it affordable to operate from day one.
