Ricoh MP 3350 Printer Review

The Ricoh Aficio MP 3350, MP 3350B, MP 3350SP and MP 3350SPF are each part of a series of monochrome laser printers that can adequately perform many useful functions for busy small offices like printing, scanning, copying and faxing documents. In fact, the MP 3350's maximum print speed of 33 pages per minute is quicker than many similar models in its class. It also outperforms its competition with ample paper handling, high-yielding Aficio MP 3350 printer toner and ease of use.

One of the MP 3350's most attractive elements is its varity of connection options, with both wireless and network printing, as well as providing Bluetooth and a front USB slot for direct printing from flash drives. Access to a range of all-in-one capabilities through its intuitive touchscreen color LCD is also a perk, enabling users to create shortcuts for frequently-used functions, track a document's progress and stay updated on Ricoh MP 3350 toner and paper levels.

With the inclusion of a dedicated 50-sheet automatic document feeder, users won't have to manually feed each page when scanning or faxing a large project. The built-in media capacity of 1,100 pages is more than generous, but the option to expand to a maximum of 3,100 pages makes the MP 3350 more versatile and capable of handling heavy-duty printing volumes.

One of the MP 3350's notable setbacks is its large size of 24x25x27 inches and heavy weight of 143 pounds, which makes it too bulky to fit on a personal desktop and will require users to find a large communal space. The unit's ability to scan documents with a resolution of only 600x600 dpi is also a letdown because this quality is below what is offered in several comparable models. Fortunately, the device excels at printing sharp monochrome text and graphics with its Aficio MP 3350 toner system.

Since it doesn't use multiple toners, this unit's single Ricoh 3350 toner cartridge system contributes to low running costs and minimal maintenance. Yields of up to 11,000 pages for replacement Ricoh MP 3350 toner cartridges are decent and will help the device maintain medium volumes.

Whether users need a true 4-in-1 device, the option to print from their personal storage device or versatile media handling, the 3350 is a suitable and flexible multifunction printer for each task. With a user-friendly LCD interface that has one-touch programmable functions and fast printing speeds, this monochrome device is one of the front-runners in its class of small office devices.
