Handling your Exact Document

Processing Needs

To optimise your document workflow,

you have to be able to specify it. The

Aficio™1515 series is designed to do pre-

cisely that. After choosing the configuration

With the Aficio™1515 series you acquire
the exact office solution you are looking for.
Depending on your workflow and demands,
you can opt for a basic copier,

complete all-in-one device (print, copy, fax
and scan). Y

ou can simply choose and is

ready to plug and play.

Productive One Click Printing

Ricoh’s unique printer language RPCS™
(Refined Printing Command Stream) stands for
fast, easy and efficient printing. With its icon
based interface, any print job is only one click
away. Most common print jobs are pre-defined
under specific icons and you can save your own
print settings under a personal icon for future
one click use. Using RPCS™, a productivity
increase of up to 30% can be achieved.

Fax Directly from PC

Both the Aficio™1515F and 1515MF offer a
wealth of benefits as fax communication centres.
Via the LAN fax function (Aficio™1515MF), you
can send fax messages directly from your own
(networked) PC to another fax or multifunctional
device. This reduces the number of steps/tasks,
eliminates the need for printing fax messages
and ensures better output quality at the
receiving end.

Cost-saving Internet Faxing

Aficio™1515MF allows you to send fax
messages via the Internet. Using the Internet
for long distance faxing has major advantages.
By sending fax messages to PCs in e-mail
format, you reduce costs while enhancing your
communication capabilities.

Efficient Document
Distribution

To further optimise the document flow, you
can digitise documents and send them over
the network via ScanRouter™ V2 Lite or directly
to the recipient’s PC via ‘scan to e-mail’. Via
this function, scanned files can be sent to
any e-mail address in the world. All data is
sent over the Internet: this ensures the
sender that all scanned documents are sent
directly to the recipient PC. For optimal
convenience, frequently used addresses
can be stored manually or automatically
in the systems’ memory.

The Aficio™1515 series caters for your precise needs:
copy, print, fax and/or scan functionality… you choose.
