[Misc] Ricoh Model Name Guide

[copier tech]

Hi all,

Does anyone have a list of all the Ricoh model names, e.g MPC3003 is the Metis range.

I have tried googling the answer but cant find any reference to it.

Thank you for the great effort and the useful contribution

The problem I stuck at is what are the meanings of all these letters in the Ricoh model names
For instance , the multifunction SPC232SF
I can easily say the C is refer to colored
May any one has an idea of what all these letters mean?

Good question! I was asking the same question just the other day. =^..^=

SP as in Single Purpose, since it's a printer based mainframe. C is obviously for colour; the SF is for the additional Scan and Fax features available on that variant.

At least that's what I remember from working direct for Ricoh...

MP in the later series would be Multi-Purpose since they're built off a copier mainframe.
At most you would see SPF appending some models to note the Scan, Print, and Fax functions.

Not sure. It's been years since I worked for Ricoh, so I'm sure there's a trainer somewhere who knows the logic of the new series, I just don't have access to them any longer.

Same here, but my guess would Intelligent Machine (or Model). Maybe Debs might know.

Re: Ricoh Model Name Guide

The controller employs GW (Grand Workware) architecture that allows the board to control all applications, including copier, printer, scanner, and fax applications. To add the optional printer, scanner, or fax applications, ROM DIMMs must be installed on the controller.

The GW controller is the heart of many Ricoh devices, acting as an interface between the machine engine and the outside world.
GW stands for Grand WorkWare, and consists of both hardware (controller board with CPU, memory etc.) and software (firmware on the controller board).
The software is based on NetBSD Operating System.
