Ricoh introduces the Aficio MP C3001/C3501 & MP C4501/C5501 Series

This new MFP series makes it affordable for businesses to bring color into their workflow, enabling them to complete more jobs in-house and reducing the need to outsource color projects. And with various methods of authentication, including the ability to set quotas for individual users, administrators can control access to color in order to manage costs and prevent abuse. In addition, improved paper handling, dynamic finishing choices and diverse networking options ensure jobs get done quickly and cost-effectively, while enabling the systems to integrate seamlessly into virtually any environment.

The Aficio MP C3001/C3501 & MP C4501/C5501 Series boasts output speeds of up to 30 pages per minute (ppm), 35 ppm, 45 ppm and 55 ppm for both full color and black and white, respectively. A mix of hardware and software solutions expands system capabilities. The hardware enhancements include printing from and scanning to a USB clip drive or SD card without network connectivity. Additionally, an optional USB keyboard is available for easier data entry when using document management solutions, such as Global Scan NX, eCopy embedded and Reform PDC. Ricoh will also introduce a new, single-pass duplex document feeder, which will come standard on the MP C4501A and MP C5501A models available in early 2011. Single-pass duplex not only saves wear and tear on originals, but also significantly improves scanning speeds for two-sided documents.
