Create your own professional print environment
Use the SP C842DN Color Laser Printer to print high-quality direct mailers, brochures, labels, point-of-sale displays and more in house in less time for less money. Transition between jobs quickly with print speeds up to 60 pages per minute (ppm). Stock up to 4,700 sheets to work continuously with fewer delays. Optimize user productivity by checking printer status from across the room with an available Attention Light. Replace toner and consumables in moments without technical assistance.
Prints up to 60 ppm
1200x1200 dpi max print resolution
Paper capacity up to 4,700 pages
Keep pace with in-house professional color printing at high speeds and low cost
Make your mark with color
Keep colors bright and text tight with our proprietary toner and 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution. Audiences will notice smoother gradations between colors for more lifelike reproductions.
Finish big on a smaller budget
Add professional finishing in-house with several automated options. Use the Internal Multi-Fold Unit to automate four different types of folding, including tri-folds and z-folds. Use the 1,000-Sheet Hybrid Staple + Stapleless Finisher and create document sets without staples in schools and other environments where staples are discouraged.
Hit your target with more media
Take advantage of six paper sources, including large capacity trays, for incredible versatility and extended runs. Use the 100-Sheet Bypass Tray for labels, envelopes, thicker stocks up to 300g/m2 and 49.6-inch-long banners. Print SRA/12.6" (SRA3) output with crop marks and color bars for high-end projects. Organize every project with a convenient 4-bin mailbox. Reduce misfeeds with auto-draw paper trays.
Slide into customizable convenience
Swipe. Pinch. Flick. Scroll. Use Workstyle Innovation Technology to simplify the way you work on the all-digital 10.1" Smart Operation Panel. Choose from multiple interfaces and create your own workflow shortcuts. For specific tasks, such as printing files from shared folders, simply download an app from the Ricoh Application Site. You can also use the site to access Smart Operation Panel how-to videos.
Make a big production with a little integration
Add plug-and-play Ricoh or third-party workflow software solutions to automate tasks from the Smart Operation Panel. For example, RICOH Streamline NX combines print and device management, accounting and authentication modules in one convenient platform. Or, use Equitrac Office for output reduction and device usage.
Add versatility and mobility
Print from your personal device. With the RICOH Smart Device Connector app, you can touch your smartphone or tablet to the printer's Near Field Communication (NFC) tag to connect quickly. Access information from cloud applications such as Google Drive and Dropbox via any web browser. Add an available dual network port to give visitors the same freedom to print on a second network.
Keep track of print costs
Use passcodes or an optional NFC card reader to track user activity or set print quotas for specific users. Add Ricoh Device Manager NX Accounting or other optional software to issue chargebacks. Use Locked Print to hold print jobs until the authorized user releases them. Keep tabs of meter reads for the SP C842DN and your entire fleet with RICOH @Remote Office NX.
Make energy savings a top priority
Reduce paper costs with default duplex printing and save energy while in Sleep Mode. The device is also ENERGY STAR certified, meets EPEAT Gold criteria and offers Typical Electricity Consumption (TEC) of 1.7 kWh/week.
