When comparing it to other laser printers, this model boasts dimensions of 13.1 by 15.7 by 17.7 inches (HWD), placing it within the average range. In terms of compatibility, it aligns well with similar models. For instance, the HP Color LaserJet Pro M454dw is slightly smaller in height and depth, while the Lexmark C3326dw is shorter and less deep. The Ricoh C125 P stands out as a perfectly fitting option across all dimensions.
The Ricoh C125 laser printer’s weight of 55.1 pounds is notably heavier compared to its counterparts. In comparison to the Canon LBP664Cdw, which is larger, it weighs 7.3 pounds more. Similarly, it outweighs the HP M454dw, a somewhat larger printer, by 13.4 pounds, and the Lexmark C3326dw, which is slightly smaller, by 19.6 pounds. Despite potential inconvenience in transportation, the printer’s robust metal-reinforced construction enhances durability against impacts or falls, which could be considered a strength.
While there are lighter printers available in the market, the Ricoh C125 stands out for traditional printer enthusiasts due to its comprehensive features and functionality. In addition to its robust construction, it offers various functions that other laser printers may lack. Paper handling features include a 250-sheet input tray and a 125-sheet output bin, along with a single-sheet bypass tray for quick single-sheet placement. Ricoh rates the C125 with a maximum monthly duty cycle of 30,000 pages, compared to 50,000 pages for both the HP M454dw and Lexmark C3326dw. Despite its lower print volume ratings compared to other printers in its class, the C125 has the advantage of being the most cost-effective option among them.
During periods of extensive and high workload days, it’s worth noting that the Ricoh C125 P has the least favorable print volume ratings within its category. However, it also boasts the lowest purchase price among its competitors, similar to features found in Canon and HP laser printers.
The Ricoh C125 P stands out as one of the easiest printers to operate, boasting a straightforward design that proved uneventful in our testing. While it features a bright and easy-to-read LCD screen, it’s worth noting that the screen is small, monochrome, and lacks touch capability. One drawback of this laser printer is the limited range of connectivity options provided by Ricoh. Although it supports Ethernet, USB, and Wi-Fi connections, it falls short compared to other models in terms of connectivity. However, it does support Wi-Fi Direct for quick wireless setups, as well as compatibility with Apple AirPrint and Mopria for convenient mobile printing.
