PFU America Inc. has announced four new high-performance, compact, workgroup printers. All four new printer models — the RICOH C125 P, RICOH C125 MF, RICOH 132 P, and RICOH 132 MF — provide a variety of mobile and network connectivity options and an array of time- and money-saving features to meet the needs of today's fast-paced, cost-conscious small businesses. The four models offer business quality color or monochrome print capabilities ideal for small and medium-sized businesses in the legal, accounting, health care, real estate and retail industries, as well as local government agencies.

These high-speed, reliable workgroup printers fit in nearly any workspace, and with USB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi print connectivity, they offer support for Airprint and Mopria. The devices can easily — and securely — be accessed by employees working in-office or remotely. All four RICOH printers meet TLS1.3 and SNMP v3 security standards and integrate innovative four-in-one multifunctionality, enabling organizations to fax, print, copy and scan. The devices also provide easy toner replacement to keep business operations flowing smoothly.
