Need help?Do you have a question about the Ricoh Aficio MP 2550 and is the answer not in the manual?
The Ricoh Aficio MP 2550B/MP 2550 & MP 3350B/MP 3350 Digital Imaging System is an all-in-one solution designed to enhance office productivity by streamlining document management. This system is engineered to meet the universal objectives of any office, offering speed, quality, finishing capabilities, and ease of use. It supports document distribution through both color and black & white scanning, with specific models offering black & white scanning only.
This device serves as a comprehensive hub for copying, printing, scanning, and faxing, integrating multiple document management functions into a single, compact unit.
Copying: The system provides robust copying capabilities, allowing users to produce high-quality duplicates of documents. It supports various paper sizes and types, with options for automatic reduction or enlargement to fit desired output dimensions. Users can select from different copy modes, including text, text/photo, and photo, to optimize image quality based on the original content. The device also offers features like full-size copying, auto reduce/enlarge, and the ability to combine multiple originals onto a single sheet, enhancing efficiency and reducing paper consumption. For larger jobs, it can handle multi-page originals through its automatic reversing document feeder.
Printing: The Ricoh Aficio MP 2550B/MP 2550 & MP 3350B/MP 3350 functions as a powerful network printer, supporting various printer languages such as RPCS, PCL, and Adobe PostScript 3. This flexibility ensures compatibility with diverse document types and software applications. Users can program complex print jobs with one-click operations, automating tasks like duplex printing, three-hole punching, and inserting covers. The system's ability to store frequently used documents in its Document Server allows for instant access and reprinting, further boosting productivity. It also supports PDF Direct Print, enabling users to send PDF files directly to the printer without requiring Adobe Acrobat software, which helps reduce network traffic.
Scanning: The device offers versatile scanning capabilities, including both color and black & white scanning for specific models, and black & white scanning for others. This allows users to convert physical documents into digital files for electronic storage and distribution. The Scan-to-Email, Scan-to-Folder, and Scan-to-Hard Disk Drive features enable cost-free sharing of documents anywhere in the world. Users can view full-color thumbnails on the control panel to confirm scan accuracy before distribution. The High Compression PDF feature significantly reduces file sizes for color documents, alleviating network strain while maintaining high print quality. Additionally, Scan-to-URL allows documents to be stored on the Hard Disk Drive and accessed via a web browser, facilitating collaboration and reducing network traffic.
Faxing: The system provides powerful, next-generation faxing capabilities with a Super G3 modem, supporting up to three analog lines to boost faxing speed and reduce transmission time. Internet Fax allows users to send scanned documents directly to email addresses, eliminating phone charges and paper waste. Inbound faxes can be automatically forwarded to email addresses, network folders, or stored on the system's Hard Disk Drive, enabling a completely paperless workflow.
The Ricoh Aficio MP 2550B/MP 2550 & MP 3350B/MP 3350 is designed with user-friendliness and efficiency in mind, offering several features that enhance daily operation.
Control Panel and Interface: The full-color VGA display with a simplified display feature makes the system easy and accessible for everyone. Animated guidance assists users through various operations, making complex tasks more intuitive. Easy-access paper tray handles simplify the process of loading paper.
Document Server: The device can store up to 3,000 frequently used documents in its Document Server, providing instant access for reprinting, re-faxing, or re-scanning. This feature is particularly useful for documents that are regularly accessed or distributed.
Finishing Options: To give documents a professional look, the system offers various finishing options, including a 1,000-Sheet Booklet Finisher. This finisher can produce paginated, saddle-stitched, punched, and folded booklets, significantly expanding in-house document production capabilities. Other finishers, such as 1,000-Sheet or 500-Sheet options, are also available.
Paper Handling: The system comes standard with two 500-sheet paper trays that can hold envelopes and a range of paper sizes. Optional adjustable paper banks can increase paper capacity and accommodate up to five different sizes and orientations of paper, reducing the frequency of maintenance. A 100-sheet bypass tray handles various paper types and sizes, including envelopes, labels, and transparencies. The 50-sheet Automatic Reversing Document Feeder (ARDF) efficiently processes multi-page originals, even those with mixed sizes.
Security Features: The device is an integral part of a total document security system. Access can be restricted to authorized users with passwords, and usage rights can be limited by application (e.g., restricting scanning or faxing to specific personnel). Locked Print protects confidential documents by holding them until the user is physically present to release them, eliminating the risk of unauthorized access in the output tray. For high-security environments, the DataOverwriteSecurity System (DOSS) prevents data reconstruction from "latent images" on the internal hard drive. Unauthorized Copy Control deters copying of sensitive documents, crucial for workgroups handling confidential information.
Networking and Connectivity: The system supports various network protocols and operating systems, ensuring seamless integration into existing IT infrastructures. It can access up to five LDAP servers, reducing programming time and improving the efficient use of company information.
The Ricoh Aficio MP 2550B/MP 2550 & MP 3350B/MP 3350 is designed to minimize downtime and simplify maintenance, contributing to a lower total cost of ownership.
Remote Management: The device supports Web Image Monitor, allowing users to get instant access to system settings, program address books, and more from their computer. Web SmartDeviceMonitor enables efficient configuration, monitoring, and management of multiple connected Ricoh devices.
Automated Alerts: Auto E-mail Notification generates alerts when the system is low on toner or not functioning optimally, ensuring timely intervention and preventing service interruptions.
@Remote Technology: This technology helps reduce the overall Total Cost of Ownership by optimizing fleet management and increasing employee productivity. It automates service call procedures; if a service call is required, the @Remote network appliance automatically places a request for service, including detailed and accurate diagnostic information. It also allows for remote firmware applications, ensuring devices are always functioning with the most current and productive operational parameters. Alerts, such as low toner warnings, can be sent to ensure devices are constantly up and running.
Environmental Considerations: Ricoh is committed to developing office solutions with environmentally friendly and energy-saving features. These include Quick Start-Up (QSU) Technology, Power-Saving Sleep Mode, Duplex and Combine Copy Modes to save paper, an Internal Toner Recycling Mechanism, Low Noise Levels, and Minimal Ozone Emissions. The device is also Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Compliant, reflecting a commitment to environmental responsibility.
