Ricoh India launches high-performance, compact A4 colour MFPs

Backed by its core philosophy of comprehensive office solutions, tech-savvy, and eco-friendly products to meet emerging customer needs, Ricoh India Limited, a subsidiary of Ricoh Company Limited, Japan, today announced the launch of its compact A4 Colour multifunction machines which offers a guaranteed print cost.

Ricoh has launched their new colour MFP range Aficio MP C305SP/MP C305SPF, offering advanced print, copy and scan functions from desktop-suitable devices. Designed to replace several single-function devices, these innovative multifunction products help to improve workflow, while their small footprints save valuable office space. These new machines are available starting from Rs. 200,000/- onwards.

Tetsuya Takano, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Ricoh India Limited said “Ricoh India continuing its new range of offerings now introduce Aficio MP C305SP / MP C305SPF range of compact A4 MFPs.  All these MFPs feature a tiltable and customisable 4.3-inch colour touch panel which makes them extremely easy to operate. 

Businesses can customise the home screen by inserting a company logo and changing the icons to give their employees a more personal experience, while full front access eases operation and maintenance. This is one more step towards delighting our consumers with feature rich offerings which are user friendly and occupy the least footprints by merging 3-4 single function devices,”

The Aficio MP C305SP and MP C305SPF provide a continuous output speed of 30 colour or B/W pages per minute after a warm-up time of 30 seconds. Extra paper trays make frequent refills no longer necessary, and these are the first A4 desktop MFP models to support a 1-bin tray which fits inside the standard catch tray – used to separate important output like inbound fax communication from other printed documents. 

These devices print on a wide range of formats (A4, A5, A6, B5, B6, Letter and Executive) on plain, special and recycled paper up to 220 g/m2 Card stock, envelopes and transparencies can also be used.

Scanning capabilities include colour scanning, and scan to email, folder and USB/ SD Card. The reduce/enlarge scan function adapts the paper size, while the enhanced batch scan feature enables scanning of only the printed sides of one-sided and two-sided mixed originals.

Standard security features include locked print and hold print, both requiring user sign-in before prints will be released. An embedded watermark, LDAP authentication, and HDD overwrite and HDD encryption options support additional security needs. To reduce the number of unnecessary prints/copies, limits can be set on the amount of outputs for each individual user or group.

The MP C305SP/MP C305SPF provides enhanced device management capabilities that save time, increase efficiency and reduce costs. The high-performance GWNX controller allows the configuration of device settings, and enables status monitoring and the creation of usage reports.

In addition, these machines offer a feature which is unique to the industry, Ricoh’s Eco-Friendly Indicator. These feature is standard on the MP C305 and MP 301SPF, which helps individual users monitor how much paper they’re saving. An attractive icon grows virtual leaves to reward users for being greener, which saves the organization money while conserving natural resources. Organizations can also set paper quotas for individuals or groups.

The Aficio MP C305SP/MP C305SPF has environmentally responsible and money-saving features such as sleep mode, duplex printing and paperless fax. These machines incorporates Ricoh’s new Quick Start Up (QSU) fusing system which helps reduce the Typical Electricity Consumption and reduces both the recovery time from sleep mode and the initial warm-up time.

Rajiv Bhatia, Chief Operating Officer, Ricoh India Limited said “These devices will be ideal for customers who are worried about the print cost on various single function printers. Thus on consolidating 4 – 5 printers with one of such kind device can reduce the printing expenses and worries on stocking the supplies for different machines. 
Ricoh India offers a guaranteed cost per page program for these machines, thus the customer need not to be worried about the coverage area per page, cost per page on printing a colour document, consumables or service or spares.”

Ricoh India is equipped with a well set up Service Network where all these machines will be serviced at the customer door step as like any other Ricoh Products.
