Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Ricoh M C240FW is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You're a single home-office worker or a 2-3 person remote team that needs print, copy, scan, and fax (B&W only) in the smallest practical color laser MFP.
  • You print 100-800 pages a month, mostly business documents with occasional color charts.
  • You need Wi-Fi out of the box — 802.11b/g/n is built in, no optional adapter required.
  • You scan a few multi-page documents a week — 50-sheet ADF handles most home-office intake.
  • You want simple consumables — AIO color cartridges yield 4,500 pages each and are easy to replace without managing a separate drum.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 1,500 pages a month — the M C240FW handles it but warm-up time is 74.7 seconds, so it's slow off the line if it's been asleep.
  • You only fax occasionally — fax is B&W only and runs through the standard 50-sheet ADF.
  • You need to print legal-size — paper tray and bypass both handle up to legal, but only single sheet from bypass.
  • You're scanning only a few times a week — single-side scanner only on the ADF (no duplex scan), so two-sided originals need flipping.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print more than 2,000 pages a month — at that volume the per-page cost on AIO cartridges adds up fast. Look at the M C320FW (32 ppm, 800-sheet max) instead.
  • You need fast first-page-out — 10.6 seconds is slow compared to office-class units, plus 74.7-second warm-up after sleep.
  • You need duplex scanning — the ADF is single-sided only.
  • You need 250+ sheet input — only 251 sheets max (250 tray + 1 bypass), no second tray option.
  • You need Ethernet-class throughput — Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n is fine for a home office but maxes out around 50 Mbps real-world.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Ricoh M C240FW is a compact home-office color laser multifunction built for single users or 2-3 person remote teams that need print, copy, scan, and B&W fax in the smallest practical footprint. It runs at 26 ppm in both black and color, with print resolution up to 2,400 x 600 dpi and AIO color cartridges that yield 4,500 pages each. The 50-sheet ADF handles single-sided originals only — no duplex scan on this chassis. Standard paper input is 250 sheets in the tray plus a 1-sheet bypass, no second tray option. The footprint is genuinely small — 16.19 x 15.52 x 13.56 inches and 42.7 lbs, fits on most desks. Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n) is built in, along with Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0; AirPrint and Mopria are standard. Locked Print, TLS, and 802.11 security are standard. The thing buyers regret: the 74.7-second warm-up time. If you only print a couple of pages and then go back to sleep, the next print job is going to feel slow. Right call as a true home-office workhorse where footprint and price matter more than speed; wrong call for any office of 4+ people that prints daily.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.
