ASSESSRicoh’s Green Calculator can project energy and paper consumption of the proposed Ricoh devices, using Ricoh’s internal benchmarking data. This allows for a more detailed projection of the proposed Ricoh fleet than using TEC values alone.

How can I...?

Ricoh has developed two tools to help you better compare,

assess and monitor your organisation’s carbon footprint.

Ricoh’s Green Calculator and @Remote Intelligent

Management System offer a simple and effective means to

identify best practice methodologies for your office, as well

as reporting to ensure you stay on track to achieve your

environmental goals.

Go green! Go lean!

Reduce paper usage and CO2 emissions by

increasing the duplex ratio.

Analyse and review estimated energy consumption of current devices using TEC values.

Lower power consumption by switching to energy saver mode.

COMPARERicoh’s Green Calculator provides an estimate of the energy consumption of your current copier and printer fleet and compares them against a proposed new Ricoh fleet by using ‘typical electricity consumption’ (TEC) values – a method developed by international Energy Star. In addition to displaying the units of consumed energy (kWh) annually, you can choose to change the graphics to reflect:

CO2 emissions in kilograms

Electricity cost in local currencyAmount of trees that need to be planted to remove CO

2 emissions

Generate a more detailed projection by inputting usage values such as:

Average monthly volume (AMV)

Average number of pages in each print job

Percentage of duplex output

Reduce Total Cost of Ownership

Reduce impact on the environment

Monitor and efficiently manage my current device fleet

Reduce paper consumption

Save energy

MONITORThe Ricoh @Remote™ Intelligent Management System monitors Ricoh printers and MFPs on your network, enabling you to identify over- and under-utilised print devices, automate service and maintenance tasks (including meter billing) and minimise total cost of ownership by shifting print volumes to lower cost devices.

Track a variety of environmental metrics related to how much energy and paper each Ricoh device consumes.

Learn how many sheets of paper are used from month to month.

Track the percentage of jobs that are printed using duplex or combined modes, which can help significantly cut paper consumption, expenses and environmental impact.

Estimate how much electricity Ricoh devices consume monthly*.

Identify how much time each device spends in the operation, print-ready, sleep and energy-saving modes.

REPORTThis solution also provides @Remote™ Green

Reports, which enables users to track trends

in energy and paper consumption over time,

enabling you to make better decisions about

sustainability policies.

Compare fleet performance and set priorities to reduce energy and paper consumption to achieve corporate goals.

Translate usage data into reports that detail paper and electricity cost savings, and CO

2

reduction trends.

Customise reports with local data – for example, the cost of a single sheet of paper or a kilowatt of electricity – to generate more accurate estimates.

Graphical charts help users visualise changes in the environmental performance of the fleet over time.

*Keep in mind that the age, manufacturer and make-up of the user’s fleet may affect the accuracy of @Remote Green Reports, and that it is not possible to acquire detailed information from certain older and/or non-Ricoh devices. Contact your service provider to ensure all applicable devices are enabled to appear on @Remote Green Reports.
