EXTON, PA, October 16, 2024 – Ricoh USA, Inc. today announced a new color A4 multifunction printer (MFP) and printer series specifically designed to meet the demands of today's hybrid workplaces. Ideal for space-constrained locations, the series provides innovative features and solutions for workplace optimization, information sharing and sustainability that are typically reserved for larger A3 devices, but in a smaller footprint.
The RICOH IM C320F, RICOH M C320FW, and RICOH P C375 ensure that employees can stay productive, securely access information from anywhere, and benefit from innovative digital workflows. Pairing Ricoh’s advanced imaging capabilities with its cutting-edge workflow solutions, including RICOH CloudStream, RICOH Smart Integration, and RICOH Streamline NX, these devices facilitate seamless information sharing and help modernize the print infrastructure for businesses operating in decentralized, hybrid work settings.
Enhanced Features for Efficiency and Productivity
Intelligent MFP capabilities: The IM C320F MFP offers a 7" Smart Operation Panel and leverages RICOH Always Current Technology to maximize hardware value by allowing for periodic updates and ongoing improvements. This model also leverages the latest cybersecurity and compliance standards to support information security in the evolving workplace.
Compact, lightweight design: With up to a 40% smaller footprint compared to Ricoh’s current model in the same speed range, the IM C320F and M C320FW MFPs can fit comfortably on a desk or countertop, making them ideal for space-constrained locations, including retail and healthcare environments.
Affordable, user-friendly solutions: The M C320FW features a 4.3" touch panel, enhanced RICOH Web API functionality, and supports the integrated RICOH Support Station app, which streamlines setup and ongoing operation, making it an ideal choice for small offices needing cost-effective and straightforward device management.
Versatile print-only model: The P C375 delivers exceptional performance in the mid-range segment with a 4-line LCD panel while supporting a print speed of 32 pages-per-minute (ppm) and a maximum input sheet capacity of 1,300 sheets, providing the flexibility needed for growing offices.
The IM C320F and M C320FW also support a 32-ppm print speed and include a Single-Pass Document Feeder, which scans both sides of a page in a single pass for fast scanning, simplifying the management of multi-page documents, and increasing overall productivity in busy offices.
Commitment to Sustainability and Security
Embodying Ricoh’s long-standing commitment to environmental sustainability, each model is manufactured with 50% post-consumer recycled plastic and features a significant reduction in single-use plastic packaging – up to 31% compared to other models. Additionally, Ricoh toner cartridges now come in entirely plastic-free packaging. With ENERGY STAR certification and incorporating innovations such as a more thermally efficient transfer unit and low-melting-point toner achieving among the best Typical Energy Consumption values in the industry, Ricoh’s commitment to sustainability helps businesses meet their ESG and net-zero goals while maintaining high performance.
All three models offer robust security features, including:
User authentication and data encryption (TLS 1.3) for protecting sensitive information.
Enhanced network filter and log functions for comprehensive monitoring and compliance.
