SP C242SF

Manage more jobs more efficiently.

In today’s fast-paced office environments, success hinges on doing more with less. The new RICOH

®

Aficio

®

SP C242SF

Desktop Color Laser MFP offers impressive copy/print/scan/fax performance in a small footprint with a price point to match.

Meet everyday workflow demands with a host of productivityenhancing features and produce documents in vibrant color for lasting impact. Designed with user-friendly controls to simplify administrative tasks in any environment, this multifunction system offers all-in-one performance to complete more jobs in less time. Whether the SP C242SF is used as a stand-alone, primary MFP or as an integrated component in a Ricoh

Managed Document Services (MDS) strategy, you’ll realize the true value of versatility and convenience.

The Ricoh Aficio SP C242SF offers cost-effective print, copy, scan and fax capabilities for incredible multitasking performance and minimal total cost of ownership.

Color Ease Compact Value

Multitask and Streamline Workflow

Manage more jobs efficiently with powerful performance from a single all-in-one system.

• Move from job to job quickly. The SP C242SF produces copies and prints up to 21 pages-per-minute for both full-color and black-and-white documents.

• Expedite printing and manage multiple jobs easily with a powerful 400 MHz controller and 256MB RAM.

• Offer convenient access for shared use in growing offices with standard networking— including IPv6 support—and an optional external wireless Ethernet adapter.

• Capture, edit and send information instantly. A full suite of Scan-To document distribution capabilities allows users to leverage existing infrastructure to improve document-related processes.

• Send faxes anywhere at the fastest available speeds with a 33.6 Kbps Super G3

Modem, built-in desktop PC faxing, Internet fax, 200 speed dials, authorized and paperless fax reception and more.

• Share information easily with a strategically placed USB port located on the front of the system. This gives users advanced Scan-to-USB functionality and convenient access for printing images from a digital camera using PictBridge ™ software.

• Enjoy near-instant readiness with first print speeds of less than 14 seconds and a warm-up time of less than 30 seconds.

• Replace the standard or high-yield All-In-One print cartridges in seconds with a convenient top-loading design.

Add Color and Energize Documents

Enhance communications with sharp text and vibrant color delivered cost-effectively on a wide range of media for maximum impact.

• Create high-quality color business documents. True 600 x 600 dpi and interpolated resolutions up to 2,400 x 600 dpi meet even the highest image quality demands.

• Optimize toner usage with Economy Color Mode, limiting the amount of toner used on images and graphics to reduce color output costs.

• Capture true quality with full-color and monochrome TWAIN/WIA scanning at up to 1,200 x 1,200 dpi optical resolution and 19,200 x 19,200 dpi driver resolution.

• Accommodate more media with thick paper support up to 42 lb. Bond/83 lb. Index— for sizes up to 8.5" x 14"—from both the Standard and Bypass Trays.

Simplify and Improve Functionality

Designed to reduce total cost of ownership, the Ricoh

Aficio SP C242SF packs an impressive collection of costefficient features into a compact desktop design.

• Preserve space with a footprint of less than 20 inches for incredible functionality while using minimal desk or counter space.

• Add paper without increasing the footprint. An optional 500-sheet Paper Feed

Unit can be installed beneath the MFP to bring system capacity to 751 sheets and offer instant access to letter- and legal-size sheets.

• Enhance workflow with the standard 35-sheet Automatic Document Feeder. Users can scan originals as large as 8.5" x 14" without placing it on the platen glass to expedite multi-page copying, scanning and faxing.

• Minimize filing space and postage costs with standard automatic duplex printing.

• Protect information—and your budget. Access to system functions and page volume limits can be set with User Restriction controls. Using Locked Print can help secure confidential information.

• Monitor the system in real-time, remotely. Web Image Monitor offers immediate access to supply status and print network settings.

A user-friendly control panel simplifies job setup, monitoring and maintenance to improve efficiency, while a convenient USB port on the front of the device provides access to the

PictBridge interface and Scan-to-USB feature without a PC.

All-In-One print cartridges offer easy replacement and long-lasting results to streamline supply purchasing and minimize inventory costs.
