The Ricoh MP W2401 is purpose-built for organizations that depend on accurate, large-format black and white output every single day. From architectural drawings and engineering plans to GIS maps, construction layouts, and government documentation, this wide-format laser printer delivers speed, precision, and reliability in a surprisingly compact design.
What really sets the Ricoh MP W2401 apart is how much capability it packs into a small footprint. It is not just a printer. It’s a complete wide-format document solution that can print, copy, scan, distribute, and archive large documents securely from a single platform. For offices in Bangladesh where space, productivity, and operating cost matter, this machine hits a very practical sweet spot.
The Ricoh MP W2401 is designed to handle demanding workloads without slowing your team down. It supports paper sizes from A4 all the way up to A0, making it ideal for:
Architectural and engineering drawings
Construction and site plans
CAD and technical line drawings
Maps, layouts, and survey documents
Government and institutional documentation
With printing speeds of up to 4.4 A1 pages per minute and 2.4 A0 pages per minute, it ensures fast turnaround even during peak workloads. For offices that need even higher productivity, the Ricoh MP W3601 variant increases speed to 6.4 A1 ppm and 3.4 A0 ppm, making it suitable for very busy print environments.
Wide-format printers are usually bulky and difficult to place. Ricoh approached this differently. The MP W2401 features an extremely compact design, allowing it to fit comfortably in design studios, engineering offices, educational institutions, and government departments without requiring a dedicated print room.
Despite its compact size, it supports flexible paper handling options:
Standard bypass tray for quick jobs
Optional dual roll feeder for uninterrupted large-format printing
Optional 250-sheet paper cassette supporting up to A3
This flexibility is especially useful in Bangladeshi offices where multiple departments often share one device.
Using electro-photographic laser printing technology, the Ricoh MP W2401 produces crisp lines, clean text, and accurate grayscale output. With a maximum resolution of 600 dpi, it ensures technical drawings and maps remain sharp and easy to read, even at large sizes.
The printer handles paper weights from 64 to 105 g/m², making it suitable for standard bond paper commonly used for drawings and plans.
When equipped with the optional W3601 scanner, the Ricoh MP W2401 becomes a powerful document digitization hub.
Key scanning capabilities include:
Monochrome scan speed: 80 mm/sec at 600 dpi
Colour scan speed: 26.7 mm/sec at 600 dpi
Maximum scan size: Up to 914 × 15,000 mm
Scan resolution:
Scan to email/folder: 150–600 dpi
TWAIN scanning: up to 1,200 dpi
Scanned files can be saved in PDF, TIFF, or JPEG formats, making them easy to share, archive, or integrate into digital workflows.
The Ricoh MP W2401 supports fast and flexible copying with features designed for technical documents:
Copy resolution up to 600 dpi
Up to 99 multiple copies
Zoom range from 25% to 400% in precise 0.1% steps
First A1 copy in less than 21 seconds
Warm-up time of less than 2 minutes
These features are especially useful for resizing drawings, producing revised plans, or duplicating maps without quality loss.
With the optional printer controller, the MP W2401 supports industry-standard file formats commonly used in CAD and design workflows, including:
HP-GL / HP-GL2 (HPRTL)
TIFF (CALS)
Adobe PostScript 3
It works smoothly with a wide range of operating systems, including:
Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7
Windows Server 2003 and 2008

Standard connectivity includes Ethernet (10/100 Base-TX) and USB 2.0, with optional Wireless LAN and Gigabit Ethernet for larger networks.
Security is built into the Ricoh MP W2401 at every level. With its 1,024 MB RAM and 160 GB hard disk drive, it supports secure data handling, controlled access, and safe document storage. This makes it suitable for government offices, corporate environments, and institutions where confidentiality is critical.
Despite its powerful performance, the Ricoh MP W2401 is designed to operate efficiently:
Power source: 220–240V, 50/60Hz
Maximum power consumption: 1400W
Its durable construction and proven Ricoh engineering ensure long-term reliability, even in high-volume Bangladeshi office environments.
The Ricoh MP W2401 is an excellent choice for:
Architectural and engineering firms
Construction and infrastructure companies
Government and public sector offices
Universities and technical institutions
GIS, survey, and mapping organizations
Corporate design and planning departments
Here’s the thing. Many wide-format printers focus only on size. The Ricoh MP W2401 focuses on real-world usability. It combines compact design, fast A0/A1 output, advanced scanning, strong security, and low operating complexity in one dependable machine.
If your organization needs a cost-effective, high-speed black and white wide-format printer that delivers consistent results without occupying excessive space, the Ricoh MP W2401 is a smart long-term investment.
