®

Aficio 

SP 4100NL is ideal for budget-minded users 
in small and mid-size environments. It offers
outstanding speed for its class, along with
advanced paper handling and a long-lasting,
user-friendly design.

Do More for Less

Upgrade performance without compromising
the budget.

• Go from click to print in seconds. The Aficio SP 4100NL prints 

31 pages-per-minute.

• Expect superior black & white quality with resolutions up to 

1200 x 600 dpi.

• Print large files without slowing down, thanks to standard 

192 MB RAM that is expandable to 384 MB.

• Get your output without waiting with a first print speed of less 

than seven seconds.

• Store frequently used documents in the 40 GB hard disk drive 

for instant reprints.

• Print PDFs without opening the native application, using PDF 

Direct Print.

Handle a Variety of Jobs

The Aficio SP 4100NL handles paper with 
the flexibility of a larger, pricier system.

• Reduce interruptions caused by reloading. Total paper capacity 

(with all trays and options) is an impressive 1,600 sheets.

• Optional duplexing runs at nearly 100% of simplex speed. 

Print two-sided documents without feeding pages twice.

• Produce a wider variety of documents. The Aficio SP 4100NL

accepts up to 34 lb. paper stock in all trays (up to 90 lb. Index 
in the Bypass Tray) and sizes up to 8.5" x 14".

• Complete mailing jobs with fewer manual steps using an optional

envelope feeder.

Ensure Easy Workflow

• Save space on the desktop with front-access paper trays and a 

small footprint.

• Choose the right paper for your job using innovative print 

drivers that show the specific weight (in g/m2) of the paper in 
each drawer.

• Keep tabs on network settings, usage details and supply status

remotely with the handy Web Image Monitor utility.

Make a Smart Investment

• Add a fast, fully equipped laser printer to your office for an

attractive initial cost.

• Expect outstanding reliability normally reserved for high-volume

systems.
