Ricoh Latin America introduces the most sustainable smart printing devices on the market
Weston, June 20, 2023 - As hybrid workforces grow, digital workflows open up a host of new possibilities. At the same time, new environmental and security challenges have emerged. In this context, Ricoh Latin America announces its new series of intelligent multifunction (IM) printers with innovative technologies to meet the ever-changing needs of digital workplaces, today and in the future.These five new intelligent multifunction devices, Ricoh IM C2010, IM C2510, IM C3010, IM C4510 and IM C6010, print at 20, 25, 30, 35, 45 and 60 pages per minute (ppm), respectively and deliver a great experience through simple operation and flawless results. From enhanced scanning and paper management to secure access, they are designed to be the ideal foundation for increasing seamless collaboration between work teams. They allow you to add software solutions, applications, cloud services and customization functionalities according to business needs.
"The new smart MFPs are designed to drive the benefits of digital adoption, as they are scalable, secure, sustainable and intuitive to use and - above all - are designed to accompany our customers today and in the future in their digital transformation projects. Thanks to the possibility of installing any application at any time, our customers can always keep their equipment updated and personalized, allowing them to work smarter and more efficiently," explains Estefanía Guillén, Product Marketing Manager of Ricoh Latin America.
The new benchmark in sustainability
The new A3 IM C Series leads the industry in environmental performance. They include technologies to help companies achieve their sustainability goals by saving energy and minimizing their footprint. In addition to identifying new reuse and recycling opportunities, Ricoh has reduced typical energy consumption (TEC) values to the lowest in the market and scanning features have been added to encourage scanning.
In addition, this new IM C Series is made from 50% recycled materials, while the PET toner bottles are produced from 100% recycled plastic. Regarding energy consumption, these new devices use a new, reusable toner, which melts at a lower temperature, and in parallel, the power supply in standby mode has been reduced. All this results in a smaller carbon footprint and lower costs.
Focus on cybersecurity and data protection.
This new series features the Always Current Technology (ACT) platform, which provides continuous access to the latest security features and updates. New ACT tools include WPA3 authentication for wireless encryption and the latest version of the hardware security module (TMP 2.0). You can also restrict the network by port name and protocol, as well as by IP address.
With regard to access control, the number of administrators is no longer limited to just four, which eliminates the risks associated with ID sharing. It is now possible to assign different privileges to each role and link it to the user ID system, including Windows and LDAP platforms.
A boost in your enterprise digital adoption
As enterprise digital transformation projects move forward, companies need a partner to help them stay ahead of the curve. With the Always Current Technology (ACT) platform, leaders and partners can download and install new features, applications and updates whenever they become available. Companies don't have to wait for a contract to expire or call a technician to take advantage of the latest technologies.
Importantly, software solutions readily available from the cloud, which have easy integration with this new A3 IM C Series, allow the capabilities of the devices to be enhanced. They also allow mobile devices to be securely connected to perform tasks from the cell phone or tablet. In addition, scalable document management applications help generate significant cost savings along with process improvements. By taking printing to the cloud, users can print anytime, anywhere.
These new smart devices are set to become the ideal partner for Ricoh customers as the digital gateway to a hybrid workplace.
