These efforts have allowed us achieve signifi-
cant growth.
We released several top-selling m odels in
the year under review. They included the
IPSiO Color 5100 ( Aficio Color AP306/AP306D) ,
which was designed for large offices. This
model can output six color or 24 mono-
chrom e A4 pages per m inute at 600 dpi and
can also output A3 docum ents. The com pact
and highly affordable IPSiO Color 2000
( Aficio Color AP204) series was especially
popular in small offices. This m odel can pro-
duce four color and 16 m onochrome A4
pages per m inute.
Our fast networkable monochrom e laser
printers were excellently received. Among
them was the IPSiO NX910 ( Aficio AP4500) ,
which outputs up to 45 A4 pages per m inute
and performs several key finishing functions,
such as stapling and punching. Another solid
perform er was the IPSiO NX810 ( Aficio
AP3200) , which can output 32 pages per
minute. Many customers preferred the IPSiO
NX720N ( Aficio AP2600N) , which swiftly
processes images to deliver up to 26 A4 pages
per m inute.

In Japan, strong marketing of personal com-
puters contributed significantly to revenues.
We stepped up m arketing of PCs and servers
as part of our solutions approach.
Ricoh enjoyed steady growth in packages
Florida’s Tanning Research Laboratories, Inc., which
makes the renowned Hawaiian Tropic range of suncare
products, makes heavy use of its Aficio AP505 color
laser printer, which delivers up to 17 monochrome and
five color pages per minute and can handle full-bleed A3
outputting.
The World Food Programme, a United Nations lifeline for
almost 90 million people as the world’s largest food aid
organization, installed 68 units of the plain-paper
FAX1800L for use by more than 700 people at its head-
quarters in Rome.
