The Ricoh MP C3004 ($12,689) and MP C3504 ($15,155) starts with a 1.33GHz processor, 2GB of memory and 250GB hard drive. Users can optionally add another 250GB hard drive and additional memory that maxes out at 4GB. PCL and PDF printing language is standard, but PostScript is only offered as an option. USB and Ethernet connectivity is standard, and Ricoh offers optional parallel and wireless connectivity. Mobile printing is supported via Ricoh’s Smart Device Connector app.
Ricoh has improved its control panel by providing a 10.1″ touchscreen with touch-and-swipe functionality referred to as the Smart Operation Panel. Users can customize their own commonly-accessed workflows, such as one-touch printing or copying, applications or accessing the web. Users can download widgets and apps from Ricoh’s Application Site.

Good copy machine for the small office environment, but like in many small offices, the paper size 11×17 is not needed nor required.
I would highly recommend an A4 Multifunction device, that will lower the cost of acquisition and on the long run the cost of operation. Look at the Kyocera CS 356 – same speed and quality, just lower overall cost.
Shortcomings
PostScript is only available as an option – most devices in this level of the market usually include it as standard.
The Copystar CS 356ci brings new meaning to efficient business performance in a compact footprint. Flexible functionality streamlines document processes while business color gets your message seen, making the Copystar CS 356ci a powerful solution that can grow with your business needs.
