Ricoh Aficio 3228C

Paper Handling

Automatic Document Feeder

The Ricoh 3228C comes with an 80-sheet

duplexing automatic document feeder as

standard. This is often an optional

purchase for both monochrome and color

devices in its sector. The capacity of the

document feeder is also considerably

higher than several of the Ricoh Aficio

3228C's competitors, but not the highest

capacity in the market. We would like to

see Ricoh add a single-pass duplex-

scanning document feeder, a feature that it

has already implemented on its

departmental monochrome MFPs, and a

factor that can help raise duplex

productivity while reducing wear and tear

on originals and reduce paper jam

incidences due to the less rigorous paper

path. Scanning on the 3228C is carried out

at 600dpi in 8-bit color.

Finishing and Output

The Ricoh Aficio 3228C comes with two

finishing options, the Booklet finisher and

the Multi-tray finisher.

The Booklet Finisher can stack up to

1,000 sheets at a time in the main tray and

staple up to 50 sheets. Users can choose 1

staple in 2 positions or 2 staples in 2

positions. The finisher also saddle-stitches

up to 10 sheets, resulting in a 40-page

booklet (some competition can handle up

to 15 sheets, resulting in 60 page

booklets). A hole punch unit can be added

after installation, allowing users to do both

2-and 3-hole punch.

The Multi-Tray Finisher has 2 trays, the

top tray accommodating up to 500 sheets

while the lower tray holds up to 2,000

sheets. Users can staple up to 50 sheets

at a time. Users can choose 1 staple in 3

positions or 2 staples in 1 position. The

hole punch unit is the only option on this

finisher which can be added after

installation to allow users to do both 2- and

3-hole punch.

During our tests we did not encounter jams

of any kind; however we did notice the

removal of jams may be difficult in the

duplex unit (the area in which paper jams

are likely). The duplex unit is located on

the left side of the machine, right where

the optional finisher will go. If and when a

jam occurs in the duplex unit, users must

first separate the finisher from the main

unit, and then open the duplex unit to find

the jam. This may cause problems with

non-technical users as well as those with

physical disabilities. It will also demand

that more space be allocated for the

device due to the space having to be left to

the left of the device to allow for the

finisher to be rolled away from the main

engine.

MFP devices are now an established part

of the enterprise LAN infrastructure. And

like other network devices, they are

subject to the demands of IT managers for

improved security. Manufacturers have

been introducing sophisticated features

that go beyond the security of the device

itself (i.e., protecting the hard drive and

console), addressing the key issues of

network privacy. and authentication.
