Ricoh Aficio SP 100 Single Function Laser Printer

This is a budget printer, got it and am using it all is good, there was a problem with the fact that the paper was not always accepted in the printer, called flipkart- they didnt knew how to solve the problem due to lack of tech support- Emailed Ricoh Company, no one responded..

This is my first printer. Delivery from flipkart and packing were excellent. But this rating is for the product. My requirement was to take printout of typed notes (for my sister) - mostly 2 sided (2 sides per page). I struggled for the first 2 hrs with the printer removing the paper from the inside which frequently used to get stuck in the printer. Most of the times the first one side prints fine (Even here 70% of the time, the printer wont accept the paper from the input tray). So this is the final statistics: Pages printed succesfully (2 sided) - 217 and wasted paper count 170 papers :) Pages printed succesfully (1 sided) - 20 and wasted paper count 1 . So this is good for one sided printing. But why should you need a laser printer, if it is not for bulk printing. Started the print job at 5 am in the evening and had to sit with it till 2am in the morning to to complete the work.. Quality of print is good (that is, when it prints ) One more thing to note is that output tray is not big enough to hold the printed paper coming out of the printer. (Tip: keep a light weight cardboard sheet on top of the tray to increase it's size) Tip 2: Duplex printing is a nightmare with this printer. Still you may find these TIPS useful a. Dont print more than 20 pages in one shot. b. The paper coming out of the printer will have a curve (or bent as if rolled by hand). Take the full set of out put paper, roll it the other way to straighten the bend and then place only these papers properly in the input tray. After thought: I should have ordered a better printer :( EDIT: I am fed up of this damn printer. If anybody would buy it for Rs 2500, I am willing to sell it... But remember this is a showcase piece... :(
