Ricoh introduces the RICOPY FT4060,
the first dry-toner plain-paper copier
The RICOPY FT4060, an A3-page plain-paper copier (PPC)
complete with a zoom feature, enjoyed phenomenal market success, with a total of 100,000 units sold in 10 months from its release. Keys to this success were the model's high definition quality, operational durability and compact body.
These properties were achieved through an effective combination of a newly developed electrophotographic imaging system and many other technologies related to mechanism and supply items, including toner.
Also, with increased availability for paper type and size,
this innovative PPC model contributed considerably to raising the efficiency of duplication work in offices.
