RICOH AMERICAS CORPORATION UNVEILS
THE AFICIO MP 6000/ MP 7000/MP 8000 SERIES
Devices Offer Faster Print Speeds and Increased Productivity
At an Aggressive Price Point
West Caldwell, NJ, April 10, 2008 – Ricoh Americas Corporation, the leading provider of
digital office equipment, today launched the Ricoh® Aficio® MP 6000/ MP 7000/ MP 8000
Series. These monochrome systems incorporate state-of-the-art copy, usability features, and
quick print capabilities as well as advanced technology and security features. Ideal for midto
high-volume environments, the Aficio MP 6000/MP 7000/MP 8000 Series provides fast
print speeds, superior control and easy-to-use features to help users save time and money.
The Aficio MP 6000/MP 7000/MP 8000 Series replaces the Aficio MP 5500/MP 6500/MP
7500 Series. To meet the changing needs of the marketplace, Ricoh upgraded the Aficio
MP 5500/MP 6500/MP 7500 Series and increased its print speeds to offer users more
efficient and productive copiers at an aggressive price point. With speeds of 60 pages per
minute (ppm), 70 ppm and 80 ppm, respectively, the Aficio MP 6000/MP 7000/MP 8000
Series provides users with professional, high-quality, black and white prints. In addition,
quick warm-up times and a single-pass duplexing document feeder that scans up to 75
originals per-minute help accelerate workflow in fast-paced work environments. Users can
also benefit from comprehensive faxing capabilities with the optional facsimile hardware.
Ricoh also makes advanced functions simple with a user-friendly display. The Aficio MP
6000/MP 7000/MP 8000 Series incorporates an easy-to-read touch-screen control panel.
Large, bright type and shortcut buttons allow jobs to be quickly selected, cutting through the
standard menu pages to get users started and finished faster. The operation panel can be
customized using the Java-compatible (J2ME) software development program so the system
aligns with unique business needs. In addition, the Aficio MP 6000/MP 7000/MP 8000
Series enables users to create professional documents effortlessly with advanced external
finishing options such as a cover interposer, a 100-sheet stapling finisher, the Ricoh BK5010
Production Booklet Maker, and a Z-fold unit that cuts down over-sized documents to a more
convenient size. Also available are two or three-hole punch units and a more advanced
system that uses the in-line GBC III StreamPunch unit with interchangeable die set to
accommodate nine types of hole punching.
The Aficio MP 6000/MP 7000/MP 8000 Series is also compatible with the new software
solutions that Ricoh debuted at AIIM/On Demand in March 2008, including eCopy
ShareScan Suite document scanning and security solutions for a variety of workgroup sizes,
Print Director Assessment and Cost Recovery software solutions, and Ricoh Dataworks3
middleware solution designed to enhance variable data printing (VDP).
Maintaining document security is essential in today’s business environment, so Ricoh
equipped the Aficio MP 6000/MP 7000/MP 8000 with reliable and effective security
solutions to protect information from print to transmission to distribution. Latent images on
the internal hard drive are removed through the optional DataOverwriteSecurity System
(DOSS), while confidential information can be safeguarded with the Unauthorized Copy
Control feature that protects sensitive documents with an embedded message that appears if
a document is copied. Users can ensure confidentiality with Locked Print, which releases
files for output only after the correct password is entered. Additionally, passwords can be
assigned to PDFs that only intended recipients would have access to and up to 500 user
codes can be assigned to employees or departments to prevent unauthorized usage of the
systems.
Ricoh’s continued dedication developing environmentally friendly products shines through
in the Aficio MP 6000/MP 7000/MP 8000 Series. These systems are ENERGY STAR®
qualified and incorporate superior energy and supply-saving features including Quick Start-
Up (QSU) technology, power-saving sleep modes, toner recycling, low noise levels and
minimal ozone emissions. The products are also Restriction of Hazardous Substances
(RoHS) compliant.
The Aficio MP 6000 is available at a suggested retail price of $17,000, the Aficio MP
7000 is available for $21,500, and the Aficio MP 8000 retails for $28,000.
In addition, the Series is available in a multifunction configuration (the Aficio MP 6000
SP/MP 7000 SP/MP 8000 SP Series) that incorporates printing and scanning capabilities to
provide even more versatility. The Aficio MP 6000 SP retails for $20,300, the Aficio MP
7000 SP has a suggested retail price of $24,800, and the Aficio MP 8000 SP is available for
