Ricoh has announced the release of its “RICOH Self-Copy Package,” set to launch on November 29, 2024. Designed for use in locations such as schools, libraries, and public offices, this package aims to improve the functionality and user experience of self-service copy machines by integrating advanced features like cashless payments and internet printing.
Background
The self-copy market has been shifting toward cashless solutions due to the increasing adoption of electronic payments and the operational challenges of handling new coins and banknotes. Moreover, the trend of students bringing their own devices to educational institutions has driven demand for printing services beyond traditional office or home settings.
Comprehensive Cashless Payment Options
The device supports nine QR code payment brands and transit e-money systems, catering to the growing demand for diverse cashless payment methods. Users can pay by scanning a QR code displayed on the machine or by using payment apps on their smartphones. Hybrid options combining cash and cashless payments are also available.
Seamless Internet Printing
Printing from PCs or smartphones is simplified with no need for user registration, dedicated apps, or printer drivers. Users can upload files through a browser to a designated website, generate a QR code for a print lineup, and print their documents by scanning the code on the self-copy machine.
User-Friendly Interface
Designed for first-time users, the package includes features such as print previews and document scanning guides. The intuitive interface eliminates the need for instruction manuals, making operations straightforward.
Enhanced Management Features
Administrators can access sales data via an online management interface, download CSV files, and set flexible pricing options with variable increments. The package also supports invoice-ready receipts and custom logos.
Ricoh’s new package aims to improve convenience for users while optimizing operational efficiency for facilities, contributing to the evolving needs of the self-copy market.
