This email is a quick update on the Aficio 2232C/2238C specifications and
capabilities. Although we make every attempt at providing the most accurate
product information, specifications can change as we are in launch kit and
brochure production. As more questions arise, we will publish them with the
answer. Please pass this email onto anyone that is not on the initial
distribution list.
Q. Does the Aficio 2232C/2238C support Parallel Printing and Recovery
Printing Capability?
A. Both functions are supported through SmartDeviceMonitor on the Aficio
2232C/2238C. However, note that Parallel Printing will not work unless
systems are identically configured (ie. with the booklet finisher).
Q. Is there a Connect Copy function available with two Aficio 2232C/2238C
systems?
A. No there is no Connect Copy function for these systems.
Q. What is the scanning speed of the Aficio 2232C/2238C?
A. Although the current brochure and Sales Information Guide states that
the scanning speed is 31/28 ppm (BW/FC), the revised scanning speed is
28/24 ppm (BW/FC).
Q. Can the booklet finisher produce folded and finished booklets with legal
(8.5 x 14 inch) paper?
A. Even though we originally stated that legal-paper was supported through
the booklet finisher, legal paper is supported only through the top paper
tray, which only staples in the upper left hand corner. Legal paper cannot
be folder and stapled into a booklet.
Q. What is NRS and is it available through Ricoh?
A. NRS stands for New Remote Service, and it enables dealers to remotely
monitor and manage their customers Ricoh systems via the internet. It is
designed to supply counter information, device configuration, status
information, and failure information. It can also be used to remotely
upgrade the firmware version of a specific Ricoh device. However, please
inform your dealers that NRS is NOT available and is scheduled to launch in
2005.
Q. Is there anything special that I should know when configuring the PT460
Multi-bin Tray?
A. The only thing to know is that during installation of the PT460, the
service technician needs to go into "SP" Mode and key "6901", space, and
then "1". This brings you to the Multi-bin setting, which should be changed
to "one" so that the system recognizes the Mutli-bin.
Q. What is the bit depth on the Aficio 2232C/2238C?
A. The bit depth differs based on the system function. Scanning is at
8-bit, copying is 2-bit, and printing is 2- bit at 600 dpi, and 1-bit at
1,200 dpi.
