Ricoh introduces new digital imaging system

The MP 4001 and MP 5001 feature solutions-based technologies, such as Personal Paperless Document Manager(TM) (PPDM) and App2Me , that provide a customized and unique user experience. These solutions are designed to allow users the ability to customize documents and streamline current workflow to enhance personal productivity.

It also allows users to transform paper originals into fully editable Microsoft® Office files, PDFs or fillable forms that can then be electronically completed and revised.
