The RICOH Pro 8400S is a high-performance monochrome production printer built to meet the demands of heavy-duty, high-volume document output. Combining speed, reliability, and advanced imaging technology, the Pro 8400S is ideal for printing-houses, large offices, schools, or any environment where large workloads and professional-grade output are required.
Equipped with a powerful print engine delivering up to 96 pages per minute, the Pro 8400S ensures that even the largest print queues are cleared quickly — enabling smooth, uninterrupted workflows. The printer uses RICOH’s cutting-edge VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) imaging technology, producing crisp, sharp black-and-white prints with a high resolution up to 2,400 × 4,800 dpi. This ensures text, graphics, and fine details remain clear and professional, whether for reports, brochures, books, or high-volume forms.
The Pro 8400S isn’t just about speed — it’s also built for flexibility and heavy load. It supports a wide range of paper types and weights (up to heavy stocks), from thin bond paper to thicker card stock — making it suitable for documents, envelopes, booklets, business cards, and more. Paper size support is wide, up to roughly 13" × 19.2".
