Does anyone know when these will launch officially? Also I have heard that these are A3 models that have been defeatured to use a maximum of legal size paper, not a true from the ground up A4, is that true?
ReplyDeleteWe're now looking at January 2011, they've already been released in Europe.
ReplyDeleteAs far as defeatured A3, that's a negative, they are fully featured. Take a trip to the p4pfourms and you'll find everything you'll need.

Now we just need a black and white A4 device. Not everyone needs color, and they shouldn't have to pay for it. It's a niche that needs filled.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I work at a Ricoh dealership, we also sell Sharps via a third party, and I fill that niche with Sharp MX-B402s, a B/W A4device. Much cheaper than going with an A3 or an A4 color. But I don't really have access to all the material I need to be a great salesman for those products, so I really need Ricoh to come out with something similar.
