What would you look for in a document imaging system?

It would have to be as fast and productive in Color as
it is in Black & White. Finished documents would need
to look as if they had been outsourced. Finally, security—
of both documents and the network—would be the
highest priority.

the globe as handed off to someone down the
hallway. To keep up, your document distribution
system needs to be flexible and dynamic.

• Send any document—financial reports, legal briefs, new product

designs, patient lab results—instantly, securely and at no cost to any
network destination through the powerful Ricoh Scan-to technology.
Store and retrieve documents on-site with the built-in Document

•
Server for re-printing, re-faxing, editing, and more.

• Fax directly from your PC and eliminate outdated and

your company’s directory.

• Create new reports and presentations from existing work
by placing images and text from any source into your new
documents without having to recreate them.

• Print photos right from a digital camera, without having to
use a computer.

behind the Ricoh Aficio MP C2500/C3000 Series.

• Produce documents with multiple media types, weights and
orientations from the high capacity 3,100-sheet paper supply.

• Output onto letterhead, transparencies and special stocks up to

and postcards in-house—up to 140 lb. index through the bypass
tray and up to 120 lb. Index from the paper trays.

• Choose from a variety of professional finishing options, giving you
hole-punched, folded and even saddle-stitched output.

Any Security Level

The amount and type of security you need may
vary by your work group, location and job.
That’s why the Ricoh Aficio MP C2500/C3000
Series is designed with multiple levels of
security to satisfy the entire spectrum of
