Aficio 3260 Brochure

I'm guessing that the Brochure was approved long before the launch and they decided to change their thinking. If you are going to have an option Fiery, you can't mandate the added cost of an imbedded controller.

Got to go...Rita's coming.

No - the 3260 comes standard with a GW controller from Ricoh only - Fiery is not an option toinstall on this model.
The 5560 offers either the option of a GW controller or a Fiery.

I just downloaded a brochure from Ricoh, the brcohrue states that the print/scan controller is standard with the system. However pricing dated from 8/18 and the connectivity cafe says you have add the controller as an option!

Did Ricoh screw up the brochure?

We just had our launch of the new high volume color boxes two weeks ago (the Savin side must be a little slower than the Ricoh side). We were told (and the Savin pricebook confirms) that both models can be ordered with either the GW controller or E7000 Fiery. The reason that the GW controller is listed as an option is so that if anyone would want to eliminate a Fiery option (not sure why they would) after ordering the Savin C6045E7000...yes that's the product name according to the price book)the unit would then require the optional GW controller to allow printing.

We are also told that Savin will soon be offering the E8000 version of both models (we were told that the E7000 is "embedded" while the E8000 is a server type controller).

Hope this helps!

The 3260/5560 does NOT come standard with a print controller. It can work as a stand alone copier.

Either the Ricoh or the Fiery will work in either machine.

Both the fiery 7000 and 8000 are external
