WEST CALDWELL, N.J., Sept. 6 // -- Ricoh Corporation, the leading provider of digital office equipment, today launched the Aficio SP 8100DN, a high-speed, black and white network printer for demanding printing environments. The Aficio SP 8100DN streamlines document workflow with advanced document management utilities, superior connectivity and security features, as well as flexible printing options.

Since time is of the essence in these environments, the Aficio SP 8100DN expedites the printing process with the ability to produce 45 pages per minute (ppm) with a first time print speed of six seconds or less. Additionally, this monochrome printer features multiple paper trays that can store various sizes of paper and has an overall capacity of 3,550 sheets. With these features, users are guaranteed uninterrupted printing.

Extended connectivity and PDF Direct Print capabilities also contribute to the Aficio SP 8100DN's rapid production abilities by lessening network traffic. For the user's convenience, the printer is also equipped with Ricoh's Refined Print Command Stream(TM) (RPCS) driver. With this feature, customers can store regularly applied print settings to the system -- storing them under individual user icons -- and initiate the print jobs at anytime from their desktop.

"Managing document workflow is a vital back office operation that many organizations battle with," said Ron Potesky, vice president of Product Marketing, Ricoh Corporation. "The Ricoh Aficio SP 8100DN is a fast and flexible solution that will surely meet the document management needs in even the most active printing environments."

To help organizations better protect the information on networks and in printed documents, the Aficio SP 8100DN offers several security capabilities. For restricted documents, this device enables users to embed a watermarked message or design in order to avoid unauthorized copying of the information. Office workers can also utilize the Hold Print or Locked Print features that will store print jobs in the printer until the issuing user authorizes the release. Additionally, the Aficio SP 8100DN offers Ricoh's DataOverwriteSecurity System (DOSS) option, which overwrites data that is temporarily stored on the printer's hard drive.

The Ricoh's Aficio SP 8100DN energy saving features include duplexing and Sample Print review, which produces one document set before producing multiple copies enabling users to cancel unnecessary prints and avoid paper waste.

The Ricoh Aficio SP 8100DN is now available at the suggested retail price of $2,799.
