1. Print Drivers

The unit displays good overall ease of use from the control panel and well-designed print driv-

ers. Additionally, the print controller offers users tremendous flexibility with standard PCL 5e,

PCL 6, Mini and Ricoh's Refined Print Command Stream (RPCS) drivers, and an optional Adobe

PostScript 3 driver. The unit's Extended Security function provides users with a more secure

environment, protecting data residing in the device's memory. In addition, the unit offers standard

USB 2.0 and Ethernet connectivity, as well as IEEE 1284 (parallel), IEEE 1394, IEEE 802.11b

and Bluetooth (wireless) options. Thus users do not have to plug into a network in order to use

the unit. Users can take their laptops and/or PDA to conference rooms, or enable visiting users to

print to the unit as well.

Ricoh has also achieved ISO 14001 Certification, which is a rigorous, internationally recognized

standard that defines the framework by which companies develop their environmental manage-

ment systems, at all of its manufacturing plants worldwide and most of its non-manufacturing

facilities. Through its company-wide Environmental Management System (EMS), Ricoh has inte-

grated environmental management practices into all aspects of its business, including planning,

development, design, procurement and production, sales, logistics, use, recycling and disposal. In

addition, the company's equipment de-manufacturing program enables 95% of the material content

from equipment that has reached the end of its useful service life to be recovered. Further, the unit

warms up from a cold start in 30 seconds, increasing efficiency and productivity, as well as reduc-

ing electricity usage so that users save both energy and money.
