Ricoh MP1350 manual What WE Liked

Print On Demand

Ricoh Aficio MP1350

WHAT WE LIKED:

•Viewing documents either from the desktop or from the touch screen as with zoom-in capabilities is a valuable feature. The user can read the document data prior to printing, reducing errors when documents are stored without personal naming convention.

•Combining multiple files into a single job can make multi-author tasks easier to manage.

•Attaching documents stored in the Document Server to outgoing communications can be a valuable time-saver. The walk-up user only has to scan in a personalized, accompanying letter rather than having to scan the entire document.

•Permission of documents allows the time saving functionality of print on demand to be used without jeopardizing security or confidentiality of information.

•Sophisticated search and retrieve functionality, including the ability to filter by user name, makes finding documents in heavily used repositories faster than some rival devices.

WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE:

•The ability to create personal folders within the Document Server rather than using the flat storage design would aid in organization.

•Productivity would be increased by adding the ability to create collated batch jobs from Document Server where a selection of documents are printed as a batch set, but are treated as individual pieces that should be finished in isolation.

•The ability to include finishing and document production attributes to the file during save removes the time consuming need for users to enter finishing details every time a job is reprinted.

•Documents stored on the Document Server from the Print or Copy functions must be pulled to the desktop using the File Convert utility, and it must be resaved and resubmitted prior to being scanned to different destinations. The ability to directly route copy and print stored documents to scan destinations would add functionality.

•Editing capabilities such as touch up, text addition, redaction, or highlighter using the touch screen interface would allow users to make quick, ad hoc changes to a stored file before reprinting or sending.

•Print on demand from portable media sources like USB memory sticks or SD cards is a useful feature that lets walk-up users take advantage of the device in airport terminals, hotel business lounges, or Internet cafes.
