Modernize Printers

Print Efficiently

Ricoh technology can help you save paper and energy in many areas of your day-to-day operations. From print processes to digital workflows to facility design and optimization, we can help you discourage waste and meet environmental initiatives.

Many Ricoh devices deliver superior energy performance by adopting unique technologies and features — such as Quick Start-Up (QSU), energy efficient toner and low Sleep Mode electricity consumption. Ricoh has been a strong supporter of ENERGY STAR®, and we strive for “practical” energy performance to achieve the ENERGY STAR qualification while maintaining ease of use.

Ricoh is a charter member of the EPEAT® (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool) program — a comprehensive environmental procurement standard (IEEE 1680.2) for imaging equipment that helps customers identify greener products through the rating of various environmental attributes. This includes energy efficiency, materials selection, indoor air quality and various take-back programs.

Sustainability and workplace productivity can, and should, go hand-in-hand. A green technology infrastructure can give you the tools to solve your workplace printing challenges while reducing energy usage and resource waste. We understand how easy it is for an unmanaged print fleet to generate significant waste. Taking control over your devices and practicing environmental stewardship can be difficult if you don’t know exactly where the problems are — and how to fix them. Ricoh’s intelligent hardware and software can help you make the most of your print infrastructure, giving you powerful capabilities such as Device Usage Reporting, User Tracking & Charge-back, Rules-based Printing and more.

Ricoh print solutions can help you extend environmentally friendly printing to everyone — including mobile employees and guests. Mobile friendly capabilities — such as Secure Document Release — help provide flexibility while combating potential energy, paper and toner waste.

Active print management can cut your office print costs by

Use Digital Processes

Create a Sustainable Workplace

Moving from paper to digital is a great way to reduce your environmental impact — but if you lack an efficient way to get the job done, you might face a number of challenges along the way. Ricoh’s comprehensive technology can help you go green by going digital — enabling seamless document conversion, high-quality image capture, paperless file storage, digital collaboration and more.

A comprehensive sustainability improvement plan takes into account many kinds of processes that rely on paper. Ricoh solutions give you the tools to capture, classify and route various data formats to where you need them. From digital delivery of mail to paperless accounting processes to enabling electronic signatures to be captured in the field, we can help you create an efficient digital workflow that saves paper, saves energy or both.

Improving sustainability goes beyond just your documents and print processes. Ricoh can help you reduce your overall environmental impact through changes in your workplace — from transforming meeting and conference spaces to reducing discarded handouts with digital presentation technology. Video collaboration between remote offices or with customers can reduce a portion of required travel and its associated CO2 impact.

In addition to helping customers meet sustainability mandates and discover ways to conserve energy within their facilities, Ricoh is delivering data center computing capacity and IT services from facilities that employ sound environmental practices. Take advantage of our unique sustainability offerings, uncover savings and distinguish your business as a leader — all while driving sustainability for our future.
