|  | | Aficio™FX200 – Efficient Multitasker Offering Standard Print, Copy, Fax and Colour Scan Capabilities |
| Amstelveen, the Netherlands, November 2005 -- Ricoh Europe B.V. today announced the introduction of its Aficio™FX200 desktop A4 all-in-one solution targeted at small workgroups. This highly capable yet easy to use system offers print, copy, fax and colour scanning functionality by default, without the need for extra options. Especially users looking for an attractively priced, networkable MFP handling A4 documents, will benefit from the FX200 office solution. |
 Following in the footsteps of the successful Aficio™FX16, this compact unit provides plug and play convenience and 20 ppm output. Warm up time is 42 seconds and the first print is ready in 10 seconds. Using the 50-sheet ADF, multi-page documents can be scanned fast and copying/faxing can be done unattended. In line with larger Aficio™ multifunctional systems, the operation panel of the Aficio™FX200 is intuitive and allows for easy job programming. Maintaining this system is undemanding: the all-in-one cartridge is user replaceable so work can continue almost uninterruptedly. Whether used for printing or copying, the Aficio™FX200 provides output at 1,200 dpi. Originals are scanned once and stored into memory from where they are reproduced. With less moving parts, this ‘scan once, copy many’ principle also stands for enhanced reliability. To improve efficiency in small workgroups, the Aficio™FX200 can be shared for printing and scanning. Networking is standard with an Ethernet interface, while for local connections a parallel port and high speed USB 2.0 interface are available. Meeting today’s new demands, the FX200 can also be used to directly print from and scan to a USB memory device. The scanned files become instantly mobile; users can upload the data and take it with them. Jeroen van Beem, Product Manager at Ricoh Europe B.V., is excited about this small yet highly capable unit: “As with the FX16, we have succeeded in uniting maximum functionality in a compact package. Office users looking for a competitive, high quality and easy to use device will definitely be impressed.” The Aficio™FX200 is the latest addition to Ricoh's advanced range of networked MFPs. Ricoh currently manufactures one of the world’s most extensive line ups of printers, copiers, scanners, faxes and multifunctional devices, as well as advanced software solutions.
