Ricoh announced that it will launch four new A3 monochrome multifunction printers—RICOH IM 6010, IM 4510, IM 3510, and IM 2510 in January, 2026. The new lineup is designed to support digital transformation while maintaining strong paper-based output capabilities across offices, public institutions, and industry-specific environments.

The new IM series focuses on three core value areas: high-speed document digitization, efficient and flexible paper output, and next-generation security and sustainability.
High-Speed Scanning
At the center of the new lineup is an optional one-pass duplex ADF, capable of scanning up to 300 images per minute. The ADF supports a wide range of paper sizes and thicknesses, including small-format documents such as business cards and receipts, significantly improving efficiency in digitization-heavy workflows.
By capturing both sides of documents in a single pass, the system enhances productivity while reducing mechanical stress on originals. Optional features such as double-feed detection and a post-scan stamping unit help prevent scanning errors and ensure document traceability during large-scale digitization projects.
Advanced Finishing and Folding
To support downstream paper workflows, Ricoh has strengthened finishing capabilities across the series. A newly enhanced 3,000-sheet finisher now supports up to 3,200 sheets and offers staple-free binding for up to 10 pages, enabling more environmentally friendly output options.
Optional internal folding units support Z-fold, bi-fold, and tri-fold configurations, including stacked folding of up to three sheets, helping streamline tasks such as envelope insertion and document distribution. The system also supports long-sheet printing up to 1,260 mm, making it suitable for in-house production of posters and POP materials.
Flexible Device Connectivity
The new IM series enables PC-less printing and scanning, allowing users to print directly from USB storage devices or save scanned files without using a computer. Ricoh’s “Easy Input/Output” mobile application further supports printing and scanning from smartphones and tablets.
For environments requiring strict network separation—such as government offices, hospitals, and financial institutions—Ricoh offers an optional configuration that allows a single device to connect securely to multiple networks, reducing infrastructure complexity and cost.
Strengthening Environmental Performance
From an environmental perspective, approximately 50% of the total plastic weight used in the device bodies is derived from recycled materials. In addition, the adoption of low-melting-point toner contributes to industry-leading TEC values, supporting Ricoh’s commitment to a circular economy and carbon reduction.
