The CL3500N prints at 22 ppm for both black-and-white and color documents. View larger.</td></tr> </table> Workgroup-Level Printing at a Desktop Price
The CL3500N embodies the latest device management and print controller technologies to bring you 22 pages per minute (ppm) full-color and monochrome network printing options with image quality and a price that make it a leader in overall value and performance. This network-ready full-color/monochrome laser printer is designed to meet the needs of budget-conscious small offices and workgroups seeking fast, affordable color. Similarly priced color laser printers are often significantly slower than the CL3500N, while printers with comparable speeds and capabilities are typically larger and more expensive. The CL3500N is thus the perfect choice to meet all your needs for performance and value. Print Speeds and Resolution
The CL3500N works quickly and efficiently, minimizing wait time. The machine takes only 30 seconds or less to warm up, and thanks to print speeds of 22 ppm for both black-and-white and color printing and a first page out speed of 13.5 seconds for black-and-white and 14.5 for color, you'll have plenty of time to focus on other tasks. In addition, the 1200 by 1200 dots per inch (dpi) resolution ensures that each and every document will come out crisp, sharp, and vivid. And the 128 MB of memory (512 maximum memory available) means the CL3500N handles even the most complex jobs with ease. Compact and Versatile
The versatile CL3500N can be expanded to meet the demands of your business, while never occupying more space. You can simply add one or two 530-sheet paper trays to the standard 630-sheet supply and install them beneath the main unit. In this way, the printer can increase its capabilities without any alteration to the system footprint. You can also take advantage of the multipurpose tray to feed stocks up to 110 pounds, and save paper by producing two-sided pages automatically with the optional internal duplex unit. Seamless Simplicity
The CL3500N comes equipped with a standard USB 2.0 and 10/100BaseTX Ethernet network interface, which allows you to seamlessly migrate from a direct connection from your PC to either your printer, or to multi-user network printing at no additional cost. To further maximize your investment, you can easily extend device access to new users with unique printing requirements. In older and historic buildings where installing hardwired network drops is difficult or cost prohibitive, and for temporary events like conferences and trade shows, you can take advantage of CL3500N support for a number of specialized connectivity options, such as IEEE 802.11b and Bluetooth Wireless protocols for cable-free printing. The printer also integrates seamlessly with computers running Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX operating systems. Integrate Options for Greater Value
When you need even more functionality, the CL3500N is ready to grow with your business. Add the Ricoh IS200e Image Scanner to satisfy color copying needs and take advantage of electronic document distribution with Scan-to-Email, Scan-to-Folder, and more. Capture high-resolution color images for editing or placement into new digital documents, and then share that information instantly without distribution costs. The CL3500N comes with a one-year warranty.

Great so Far.......2006-12-31

After a week, this printer is proving to be a great value. For $500, the speed is unbeatable and so far print quality is great. I set it up in about 30 minutes on my home network, without having to refer to anything but the quick setup instructions. It works fine from all 3 computers now and I am very happy. Once, after being unplugged accidentally for a day, I had to reinstall the drivers because it was assigned a different IP address when it came back up - and I'm sure there was an easier fix, but it took about 10 minutes to reinstall the software.

Coulda been a great printer...........2006-10-19

Most of the time this printer is a winner. Rarely jams, and print quality is excellent. And the duplexer works very nicely. However, after 3 months we've had the machine out of order as much as working, primarily due to inept service techs. But now we think the problem is solved and the printer seems to work perfectly. Unfortunately, it has another problem--toner disappears like beer at a frat party. I haven't tracked pages printed, but with what seems to me like pretty light usage we are going through about $400 worth of toner a month, with only a few people on the printer. If that works for your budget then this is otherwise a decent machine.

Good, reliable printer.......2006-08-25

We installed fourteen of these under our purview (college dorms) 10 months ago and our residents printed ~800,000 copies since.

Pros:
* They simply do not jam. I've run a printing operation serving 2500 residents for eight years and have never had a workgroup laserprinter be so reliable.
* They work well in an 'open' printing environment. We us PostScript and accept about 25% of our jobs from Macs, 70% from PCs - mostly XPSP2, and 5% Linux. There are no noticeable OS issues. We've seen that certain versions of Acrobat on Windows or Mac may fail to print, particularly with large file sizes (>300MB ps) or with full-page mathematical notations, but Adobe upgrades fix that on Windows and Preview fixes that on Mac.
* Changing toner is a no-brainer.
* The print quality is excellent for both text and color images. I'm uncertain why Andre's experience was so poor, but believe it was an anomaly.

Cons:
* It's slow. Expect to wait the 20 seconds or so for first page out unless you've just printed another job. And, when it starts printing, it's no speed demon. If you are setting up only one or so, the sleep time is configurable, but with 14 of these deployed and managed by student staff, we merely put printers in place, out-of-box. Stick with Xerox workgroup printers for speedy KW printing.
* It's heavy. Two person heavy. Really.
* It's bigger than your average printer.

Great Printer !.......2006-08-23

Having used other color lasers, I was looking for a good, reliable machine and this is it. I print all kinds of documents: pictures, color brochures, postcards, text and image combinations and the Ricoh performs very well on a variety of media.

For the price, this is an excellent choice.

Pure crap; purchase an HP instead.......2006-04-04

This printer is an absolute piece of high-tech junk. Don't even think of trying to print over the network from anything other WindowsXP SP2 workstations. The product ships with plenty of worthless documentation, which is only a step below its completely incompetent technical support. Yes, the tech support reps mostly speak english, but they've all got one oar out of the water, and don't know jack about their own products.
Once you get it printing off of the XP workstation, the color print copy suffers from poor resolution and faded lines. This printer suffers from incredibly bad design and absolute engineering incompetence. Stear clear of Ricoh.
