Ricoh Introduces New Priport DX 3343

WEST CALDWELL, N.J., July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh Americas Corporation, a leading provider of digital office equipment and advanced document management solutions and services, today announced the availability of the Priport DX 3343 digital duplicator. Manufactured for high-speed and low-cost printing, and incorporating a new print controller with network connectivity, the Priport DX 3343 is designed to meet the duplicating needs of customers in the educational, church and government agency markets.

Speed and affordability are key considerations for educators, administrators and government agencies when buying a digital duplicator due to the high volume of printing they generate. The Priport DX 3343 outputs prints at 130 pages per minute for as little as one-third of a cent per print. Versatility is a hallmark of the system as it can print on a wide variety of paper media, including construction paper and heavy card stock. Additionally, the large 11" x 17" scanning area is suitable for scanning text books and incorporates an Auto Center/Edge Erase function to eliminate binding margins for better readability.

Production environments often operate in a standalone setting, and for this the Priport DX 3343's V-20 controller is the standard choice for local printing. But for customers whose departments are spread over larger areas, the new Type 4545A embedded controller is now available for connecting the Priport DX 3343 to a shared network.  With the Type 4545A controller, the Priport DX 3343 becomes fully network compatible and allows customers to take advantage of additional Ricoh software, such as @Remote which users can add to remotely facilitate the management of their entire fleet of networked multifunction products and printers.

"Institutions within the education, church and government industries often run busy production environments that produce a high volume of print materials," said Michael Hunter, director, Product Marketing, Ricoh Americas Corporation. "With the launch of the Priport DX 3343, Ricoh addresses the need for a high-speed, high-volume printer that produces quality output while adding cost-saving value to a customer's entire fleet."

Along with its fast output speed and impressive flexibility, the Priport DX 3343 also helps customers maintain environmentally sound printing practices. The system possesses many energy saving features, including a heat-free imaging process, Instant Start Up Technology requiring no warm-up time and an Automatic Shut-Off function that powers down the unit after a user-defined period of inactivity, making the Priport DX 3343 more energy efficient than most units that only enter into an energy saving mode.
