The Ricoh Aficio SP C232, for instance, is laser printer made with small to midlevel offices in mind. It can scan, copy, fax and print high quality documents at an affordable price.

Weighing 66.1 pounds, it is a bit overwhelming to move; however it does make a small footprint of 16.5x19.4x18.7 inches that will be easy set nearly anywhere.

Most will find that it is simple to setup and user-friendly, and it will also be painless to maintain due to the inexpensive replacement Ricoh SP C232 toner cartridges.

Because it is a color printer, meaning it prints using cyan, magenta, yellow and black printer toner, buyers will only need to maintain four Aficio SP C232 toner cartridges.

Generally speaking, Aficio SP C232 toner is easy to find and replace online from the manufacturer or third party vendors.

The SP C232's speeds are quite fast at 21 pages per minute, but its first page out times are a little slow at 14 seconds.
