the fastest A3 color laser printer in its class. It
can also output 28 full-color single- or dou-
ble-sided A4 pages per m inute through the
use of our innovative tandem drum system.
This m achine is particularly useful for
preparing color conference m aterials and
plans, with full docum ent finishing capabili-
ties that include sorting, stapling, and hole
punching.
Another popular new offering was the
Aficio 206 ( IPSiO Color 2200) , which can
output six color and 24 monochrom e pages
per m inute. This highly affordable printer
offers superb color photo reproduction at
1,200 x 600 dots per inch.
Other Input/Output System s:
Increasing access to broadband comm unica-
tions is boosting demand for high-capacity
removable m edia that can store videos and
other large data volumes. We have responded
to this trend by prom oting the DVD+ RW
standard am ong leading players that have
focused to date on CD-RW setups.
During the period under review, we
released the Ricoh MP5120A drive and
DVD+ RW discs. This drive can handle CD-
ROM, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, and DVD+ RW
media. We then launched the MP5125A and
DVD+ R discs. We sell this drive to end users,
as well as to third parties and PC makers.
Outlook
In printing system s, we will expand our
range of MFPs and laser printers to m eet
the needs of the digital office. We will also
provide more color platform s to accomm o-
date growing dem and for color capabilities.
We will offer optimal solutions by combining
our hardware with software and services.
In other input/output system s, we will
launch drives that are compatible with the
DVD+ RW Video Recording Form at. Such
drives will offer m any advantages, allowing
users to not only store PC data but also add
and edit video clips on their PCs.
The Ricoh MP5125A drive lets users record and rewrite
DVD+RW and DVD+R discs that can store full-length
motion pictures and other image-heavy data, and also
handles rewritable CDs.
