[Paperless conferences]
The RICOH Smart Presenter app was created in
response to the spread of tablets and growing
environmental awareness. Since the Smart Presenter’s
introduction, its usage scenarios have expanded
considerably. A server system capable of synchronizing
up฀to฀350฀tablets฀and฀an฀iPhone฀version฀were฀
introduced฀in฀2013.
Smart Presenter played a key role at the APEC
Transportation Ministerial Meeting held in Japan in
September฀2013.฀It฀was฀incubated฀at฀TAMAGO฀Labs.,฀
located in Japan, which Ricoh founded to hatch new
businesses
rapidly.
[Ultra-short-throw projector]
Far more compact and lightweight than conventional
projectors, Ricoh’s ultra-short-throw projector
can be used even in tight spaces as it can enlarge
images from an extremely close distance. Its superior
versatility lets it offer unique solutions in situations
such as ad hoc video conferences, paperless
conferences and digital signage. Innovative optical
technology is used to keep both its footprint and
weight to a minimum. ➤ WEB฀3
Environmental conservation
In addition to its initiative to reduce
the environmental impact of MFPs over
their life cycle, Ricoh has capabilities in managing
the energy use of entire offices and environmental
technology for industrial applications.
[Continuous improvement of the environmental
performance of MFPs] ➤ P61,฀63-64฀
[Office energy management]
Ricoh is developing office energy management
solutions using technology that visualizes energy
consumption over the entire office floor, technology
to automatically control LED lighting and office
equipment, and technology that detects the
presence of people to adjust power settings to an
optimum level.
[New applications for rewritable media]
We put a layer on rewritable media to block oxygen
and ultraviolet light and developed an algorithm
to eliminate character crossing points, which
cause media to deteriorate. We have also begun
demonstration tests of a rewritable laser system in
the field of logistics. This system can rewrite
1,000 times with laser contactless technology. This
won a technology award from the Imaging Society
of Japan for fiscal 2012. ➤ WEB฀4
Security and safety
As networked IT equipment, MFPs are
also subject to security threats. We
take a variety of measures against such
threats. Our website is full of relevant information,
including our stance on security to a list of threats
and countermeasures to them, an introduction
to security functions, and a list of internationally
certified products. ➤ P37-38 ➤ WEB฀5
[Common Criteria certification initiatives]
In 2010, Ricoh MFPs became the first to earn
Common Criteria certification, which indicates that
copiers and printers meet international standards for
security. A wide range of models have subsequently
earned the certification.
[Hard disk security functions]
The TPM (Trusted Platform Module) security chip
is installed in Ricoh MFPs (MP series), printers (SP
series) and production printers (Pro series). It creates
a second layer of encryption for encryption keys
used on hard disks to further enhance security.
Smart Presenter makes it easy to share information via tablets or
smartphones for successful communications at paperless meetings.
