Products -Energy Conservation / Prevention of Global Warming-

Products that are not easy to use will not be selected by customers, even if their energy-saving performance is solid. Such products can neither contribute to energy conservation nor help prevent global warming.
Ricoh is further developing its unique and easy-to-use energy-saving QSU (Quick Start-Up) technology^*, which enables users to make copies as soon as they need to. We are also expanding the product lineup of QSUequipped machines with a view to reducing recovery time from energysaving mode to less than 10 seconds for all our models in the future. Meanwhile, reducing unnecessary paper consumption (indirect energy saving) is important since paper production consumes a lot of energy. Therefore Ricoh is helping to decrease the environmental impact caused by customers' paper consumption by offering highly productive duplex copying functions, digitization, and by promoting sales of recycled paper.
