60 ppm, 2.2 second first print
Continuous 60 pages per minute at up to 1200 x 1200 dpi, with 100% duplex productivity.
At 60 pages per minute with a 53,000 page recommended monthly volume, the SP 8400DNM is where the workgroup class stops being a desk machine and starts being a department's production line.
Built on the Ricoh SP 8400DN
A 60 ppm Ricoh departmental engine, re-engineered for MICR. Your Ricoh service organization already supports it.
Continuous 60 pages per minute at up to 1200 x 1200 dpi, with 100% duplex productivity.
The three media types check printing and returns processing actually run on.
Rosetta Technologies certified E-13B and CMC-7 fonts, covered by the MICR Performance Guarantee.
It handles the three media types that matter for this work: perforated check stock, pressure seal, and IRD paper. Input scales from 1,200 sheets standard to 4,700 with optional trays and large capacity units, and output scales to 4,000 sheets with the 3,000-sheet finisher. Duplex runs at 100% productivity rather than the reduced rate a lighter machine gives you.
Five configurations exist: the base SP 8400DNM, a Secure model with locking trays, a Guardian model that adds a secure 320 GB hard drive and Locked Print, and IPDS and IPDS Secure models for host-driven environments. The MICR drum is rated at 160,000 impressions.
