What We Liked; What We Would Like To See - Ricoh Aficio MP1350 User Manual

WHAT WE LIKED:

• The powerful print processor and large memory re-
sources enable the device to power through print work-
flows and large files.
• Highly featured drivers deliver a wide range of document
production capabilities.
• The user-friendly, icon-driven RPCS driver can offer high
levels of print functionality with the minimum of user se-
lections.
• The RPCS driver lets users specify whether the process-
ing workload should be carried out at the device or PC
level.
• Advanced print clustering capabilities via SmartDe-
viceMonitor include automatic or semi-automatic job re-
routing and load balancing. This ensures that in multi-
device environments, network print downtime, and bottle-
necks are kept to a minimum.
• The RPCS driver offers extensive page stamping capa-
bilities that can aid in printing documents that are created
in applications that do not offer numbering or other capa-
bilities.
• The Job Binding feature in the RPCS driver, coupled with
DeskTopBinder utility, allows users to combine multiple
documents created in single or multiple applications into a
single file for batch printing.
• Direct PDF printing capability—when the PostScript func-
tion is added—allows users to send large PDF files di-
rectly to the device without having to be opened or
RIPped into PCL or PS3 formats.
• The image overlay capability in the RPCS driver allows
users to add standard background designs such as com-
pany forms or presentation layouts to the device to add
into documents at the device level. This eliminates the
need to rip the files at the desktop and send them over
the network for processing every time.
• An extensive mixed orientation feature set allows for com-
plex multi-media jobs to be handled correctly, ensuring
maximum legibility of every page.

WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE:

• Direct PDF capability could be offered as a standard fea-
ture.
• Direct USB memory stick print capability would provide
walk up print capability in kiosk-like environments where
printer drivers are not available or convenient.
• The ability to specify page ranges using the chapter mode
or the ability to specify the interposer trays from the user
defined page programming feature would allow entire pre-
printed sections to be incorporated more efficiently.
• The ability to combine chapters and user defined pages
into a single document would allow more complex docu-
ments to be produced.
