Ricoh Launches the Aficio SP 9100DN



Ricoh Setting the Pace in High-Priority Printing with New High-Volume Black and White Laser Printer

WEST CALDWELL, N.J., Sept. 19 // -- Ricoh Corporation, the leading provider of digital office equipment, today launched the Aficio SP 9100DN, a high-speed, black and white network printer designed to meet the most demanding printing needs. With advanced document management features, seamless network connectivity and a wide array of automatic capabilities, the Aficio SP 9100DN provides the features needed to maximize productivity and efficiency.

Since time is an important factor in most printing environments, speed and efficiency are a necessity. The Aficio SP 9100DN has the ability to print 75 pages per minute (ppm) with a first time print speed of 5.5 seconds or less. The printer has multiple paper trays and a maximum capacity of 8,200 sheets, which reduce the need for user intervention during large jobs, allowing uninterrupted printing and exceptional time savings.

In addition, the Aficio SP 9100DN offers several networking features that streamline workflow and simplify projects. PDF Direct Print sends files directly to the printer in PDF format, greatly reducing traffic on the network. The WebImageMonitor feature allows the user to configure printer settings, check job status and select finishing options remotely via any standard Web browser. In addition, the Aficio SP 9100DN is equipped with Ricoh's Refined Print Command Stream (RCPS) driver. RCPS enables customers to store regularly applied print settings to the system, save them under individual user icons and initiate print jobs at anytime from their desktop.

"Network connectivity and streamlined workflow are essential operations that many businesses struggle to manage properly," said Ron Potesky, vice president, Product Marketing, Ricoh Corporation. "The Aficio SP 9100DN offers features and capabilities that make efficient document management simple to administer for the most demanding printing environments."

To help organizations protect private information, the Aficio SP 9100DN is equipped with several security functions. The Locked Print feature requires a password to be entered at the machine prior to printing, preventing sensitive materials from being left in output trays. For restricted documents, users can embed a watermarked message or design in order to avoid unauthorized copying. Moreover, all information traveling through the network is encrypted, which ensures it remains secure while being sent to the printer.

The Ricoh Aficio SP 9100DN is available at the suggested retail price of $19,900.
