This almost sounds like what I want. Can you answer 2 questions please:

1) I know it cannot duplex copy - does this also mean it cannot duplex scan? This would be the deal breaker for me.

2) Does it use transfer belt technology? I ask as it has been the Achilles heel of my Dell 3100cn.

What is the difference between the Ricoh Aficio SP C232SF and the Kyocera FS-C1020 you reviewed a few weeks ago?

They both look almost identical except for color.

The data sheets are also almost identical, just a few minor differences like the replacement toner. (The Kyocera uses the high capacity toner only.)

The Kyocera’s overall score was 6 and the Ricoh’s score is 8, what’s with that?

From what I understand, Ricoh makes the Kyocera FS C1020

Please clarify and thanks for your hard work

Jake,

The Kyocera FS-C1020 MFP (all in one) is nothing to do with the actual Kyocera 1020 mono printer and does not appear from our investigation to be made by Kyocera at all. I'd be interested if anyone knows who actually makes these engines. The difference between vendors will be in cosmetics and firmware. Ricoh is generally quite good at firmware, but one never knows how much effort has been put into cheap printers.

Retset - laser printers use transfer belts. Cheap inkjet printers use rollers. Expensive inkjets use transfer belts. I think that should pretty much tell you the answer to your question. Transfer belts are by far the best technology for printers, but some implement them better than others.

The Aficio SP C232SF is a good, solid, colour laser multifunction. It prints reasonably quickly, with better than average quality and doesn't cost the earth to run. It does take a while to start printing, though, so if your workload is largely composed of short documents you may find yourself waiting. It would be good to see a front panel USB socket and a larger integrated paper tray, too. Read full review
