Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Ricoh MP C406 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 run a 15-25 person office printing 5,000-10,000 monthly pages.
  • Your workload is mostly B&W with color used selectively.
  • You want one MFP for print, copy, scan, and fax.
  • You need full wireless connectivity for laptops and phones.
  • You want the current Ricoh firmware and security baseline.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if your color load is moderate and B&W dominates day-to-day.
  • It's fine if you mostly print letter and legal.
  • It's fine if your scan workflows are straightforward.
  • It's fine if you'll grow modestly over the next 18 months.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if your workload is color-heavy — the 36 ppm color speed will bottleneck you.
  • Skip this if you print over 12,000 pages monthly.
  • Skip this if you need built-in saddle-stitch booklet finishing.
  • Skip this if you need 11x17 daily.
  • Skip this if you need photo-grade color for client deliverables.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Ricoh MP C406 runs 42 pages per minute in black and 36 ppm in color, sized for offices doing 5,000-10,000 monthly pages. Print, copy, scan, and fax bundled in with Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB, and Bluetooth. Auto duplex standard. Resolution is 1200x1200 dpi with optional finishing modules. The slightly lower color speed than B&W reflects the heavier toner load on color jobs — the imaging units run a bit slower to maintain color quality on coverage-heavy pages. Sized as the small-office workhorse just below the C407 in Ricoh's current lineup. The regret: a few buyers expected matched 42 ppm in both modes — read the spec sheet carefully. If your workflow is color-heavy, the effective throughput is the 36 ppm color number, not the headline 42. Print 1,000 color pages and the difference between 42 and 36 ppm is roughly 4 minutes — small per job but adds up across a busy week. If color jobs dominate your workload and speed matters, look at the C407 or C4504 where the color and B&W speeds match more closely.

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.
