Ricoh Aficio SP 4100N
Buyers LaBoratory Lab TesT RepoRT
During installation, the SmartDeviceMonitor utility automatically locates
the device and displays the IP address, allowing the administrator to simply
select it to create the port, and automatically detects the installed hard-
ware when using the PCL and RPCS drivers. For the Adobe PostScript driver,
the congured options must be manually specied by the user.
The Ricoh Acio SP 4100N ships with four print drivers (proprietary Ricoh
RPCS, Adobe PostScript 3, PCL 5c and PCL 6). The drivers are well laid out
and easy to use on the Windows XP platform tested and offer a feature set
typical of most high-end printers.
The PCL and RPCS drivers are very graphical and offer most of the commonly
used selections on the main screen. The Adobe PostScript driver is typical of
PostScript drivers in that users must access additional tabs to make common
print job selections.
Although not uncommon, the appearance and layout of the PCL, Adobe Post-
Script and RPCS drivers differ.
