For stand alone usage, the Aficio 1515
and Aficio 1515F aim to replace 15 cpm analogue and first
generation digital copiers with features such as standard
duplexing, improved warm up and integration of fax
capabilities (Aficio™1515F). For larger operations, the
Aficio 1515PS and Aficio 1515MF can be integrated easily
into virtually any network. With bundled software tools such
as SmartDeviceMonitor™ and Web Image Monitor, the machines
can easily be monitored and managed from any PC in the
network. Both replace multiple devices thus reducing total
cost of ownership (TCO) and improving office efficiency.
Copying of multi paged documents is
fast and failure free as sets are automatically fed, scanned
once and reproduced from memory as often as required.
Uninterrupted copy and print production is assured by a
large paper capacity.
The Aficio 1515 series control panels
are clear, intuitive and easy to operate. The four line, 27
digit display with its four navigation keys means easy
browsing and operation. With its 'scan once, copy many'
technology, wear and tear of originals during large jobs is
minimised and output quality exceptional.
With a unique transmission speed of
only 3 seconds, the Aficio 1515F and Aficio 1515MF fax
variants handle heavy fax traffic with ease. Speed dials
save yet extra time. Sophisticated features such as LAN fax
and PC fax are standard, while the Internet fax function
means users can send faxes direct over the corporate network
thus reducing the communication costs. To distribute
documents from the operation panel to the recipient's PC,
the Aficio 1515 and Aficio 1515MF offer scan to e-mail. User
address books can be easily maintained with the web browser
and new addresses added and manipulated with the Web Image
Monitor.
Following Ricoh's environmental policy,
the Aficio™1515 series is designed for minimum environmental
impact. Equipped with QSU (quick start up) technology it
offers fast energy saving recovery, as well as warm up (15
sec.) and first copy (7.5 sec.) time. Ozone and dust
emissions are way below legal limits and duplexing (on both
print and copy) saves on paper. Its robust nature means a
long active life, and compliance with the Energy Star
guidelines reduced environmental loading. The units can be
located on the user's desk without noise or space stress.
Jeroen van Beem, product manager at
Ricoh Europe B.V. feels designers have put more
functionality in the Aficio™1515 series than most similar
devices: 'Because multifunctional equipment tends to get
heavy treatment from a wide variety of users, the Aficio™1515
series has been made very reliable and extra easy to
operate,' he adds confidently.
