New Ricoh Aficio MP 2352/MP 2852/MP 3352 MFP Platform Offers Advances In Security and Mobility

WEST CALDWELL, N.J., Dec. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh Americas Corporation, a leading provider of digital office equipment and advanced document management solutions and services, today unveiled a new generation of digital imaging systems offering versatile multifunction performance, innovative security and advanced mobility capabilities in an attractive, space-saving design.

The Ricoh Aficio MP 2352/MP 2852/MP 3352 A3 monochrome platform, ranging in speed from 23 to 33 pages per minute, offers a range of scan/copy/print/fax configurations in smaller-than-ever dimensions. The new "I"-style design – cube-shaped in neutral grays with a footprint of 23 inches by 26 inches – helps squeeze big productivity into compact office environments.

To accommodate increasing numbers of mobile workers, the MP 2352/MP 2852/MP 3352 introduces optional walk-up mobility features. Users can Scan-to/Print-from a USB thumb drive or SD card for many file formats, including PDF, JPEG and TIFF. Alternatively, Ricoh's optional HotSpot printing application can support mobile printing from most Internet-enabled devices.

The MP 2352/MP 2852/MP 3352 system is Ricoh's first A3 monochrome solution with optional internal finishing, making it capable of auto duplexing, collating and stapling sets of up to 11 inches by 17 inches without increasing the system's footprint.

To help organizations streamline document workflow, every unit includes a license to Ricoh's Personal Paperless Document Manager (PPDM) software, an innovative productivity tool that converts scanned paper documents into searchable, editable electronic files.

For improved security of sensitive corporate information, the new platform comes standard with DataOverwriteSecurity System (DOSS) and Hard Disk Drive (HDD) encryption capabilities.

As part of Ricoh's commitment toward environmental sustainability, the platform improves its TEC values over its predecessor, meeting ENERGY STAR qualification and offers a quick recovery time with less than 10 seconds (SP models). 

This new platform is part of a broad array of equipment Ricoh employs in Managed Document Services (MDS) engagements to solve a range of information management challenges. The MP 2352/MP 2852/MP 3352 can be easily integrated with other key components of a cohesive document strategy, such as the GlobalScan™ scan-to-email solution, the DocumentMall™ cloud-based document-sharing platform, and the Ricoh @Remote™ Intelligent Management System for optimizing device fleets.

The MP 2352/MP 2852/MP 3352 starts at $4,780 MSRP. The copy/print/scan configurations include a 50-Sheet ARDF, 1 GB of RAM, a 120 GB hard drive for storage, a Java VM card for developing customized applications, and one PPDM activation license.
