Classification:
A new model "Tequila (A289)" designed for the Latin American market will be launched in
September 98. Tequila is a slightly modified version of the already existing model "Grand
Kingfisher (Ricoh FT4018/Gestetner 2718z)", especially designed to meet the needs for
the Latin America market.
There will be two destination codes depending on the input voltage: -14 is for 120V areas,
and -24 is for 220V areas. Inch units are the default units for both destination codes.
This RTB clarifies the differences between the base copier and Tequila (based on the style
of the service manual). Also note that the following information is based on the Grand
Kingfisher 120V (inch size) machines.
