Ricoh Aficio MP1350
Market Background Information:
The paper output handling options can range
from duplex output to saddle-stitch booklet
making capabilities. Many devices offer a
choice of finishers providing a low cost,
minimum footprint solution, or a high-
capacity, fully-featured solution.
Stapling
Departmental and light production class devices should
offer finishers with at least 50-sheet capabilities with
some offering 100-sheet capabilities. They can usually
handle corner and double stapling. Saddle-stitch heads
up the finishing capabilities, allowing users to create
folded, center-stapled booklets.
Offset Output and Offline finishing
All light production devices offer offset stacking (where
each set is offset from the next) to make it easier to
separate jobs. In addition to offline stacking, front office
devices offer a diverse range of finishing capabilities.
This creates a one-stop document creation solution.
While many production devices offer extensive inline
finishing features, many production environments use
offline dedicated finishing solutions. This leaves the print
devices to just focus on creating the printed sheets. In
this workflow, the stacking becomes more critical with
production buyers looking for tight document alignment.
So, sets can be picked up and loaded into the finisher

Paper Handling: Output /Finishing Features Summary
Finishing Options
The Ricoh Aficio MP1350 comes with a wealth of finish-
ing and document output options. A 3,000 sheet finisher
with 100-sheet, multi-position stapling will be the option
added to the vast majority of units. In addition, the device
can be equipped with a Plockmatic saddle-stitch booklet-
maker, a Z-fold unit (that allows legal and ledger stocks
to be incorporated into letter-sized documents), a twin
cover inserter (for including pre-printed
materials after the fusing process) and
the GBC StreamPunch III inline, multi-
die set professional punch unit.
Finisher Productivity
There was minimal slowdown when
workflow was switched from standard
simplex to duplex or single corner sta-
ple modes. Dual stapling added a
slight delay, with saddle-stitch adding a
further delay but neither should be re-
garded as significant and are better
than the results we have seen from
some competing units. The Z-fold fea-
ture had a significant effect on through
ledger engine speed, which dropped by
42 percent.
