AP306D, AP306 specifications

The Ricoh AP306 and AP306D are advanced multifunction printers designed to meet the needs of small to medium-sized businesses. Both models deliver robust printing capabilities coupled with advanced features that enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and provide cost-effective solutions for document management.

The AP306 is a versatile A4 black-and-white printer that excels in delivering high-quality prints with impressive speed and reliability.
