 The device also supports scan to folder, with protocol support for SMB, FTP
and NCP. File types supported include single-page TIFF/JPEG, single-page

 Scan to URL is also featured.
 TWAIN scanning with resolutions from 100 to 1,200 dpi (color and black and
white) is also featured.
 Internet faxing is not supported.
 In both print and copy modes, the text output produced by the Aficio
MP1350 exhibited above average darkness and smooth curves and serifs.
Upon visual examination, characters also appeared to be fully formed,
although when viewed under magnification, break-up was visible along the
left side of characters. The sharpness of characters was also above aver-
age, with no toner overspray visible even under magnification in both copy
and print modes.
 Lack of toner overspray also contributed to line art that was judged to be
above average for sharpness. In addition, closely spaced fine lines remained
distinct; horizontal lines didn’t exhibit any stair-stepping; and consistency
of line thickness was above average, with circles fully formed.
 Although the Ricoh unit’s solids were Very Good overall, test technicians
noted less consistent coverage on the left side of the page.
 Halftone range in print mode was Excellent, as output was visible from the
2% to 100% dot-fill levels, with distinct transitions between all levels.
 Halftone range and halftone pattern was rated Very Good in copy mode.
Halftone output was visible from the 15% dot-fill level (which is the mini-
mum coverage level on the original) to the 100% level, with distinct transi-
tions between most levels and distinct separation between levels.
 The Aficio MP 1350's print efficiency in BLI's job stream test using both the
PostScript driver and PCL driver is competitive for the group. The job stream
consisted of four large files (PowerPoint, Word, Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft
