When we first started Canada Copier Remarketing Corp over 28 years ago, we thought all copiers were essentially the same – just machines that make copies. Boy, were we wrong! After installing and servicing hundreds of Ricoh copiers across Toronto, Mississauga, Markham, and throughout the GTA, we’ve discovered that Ricoh offers some truly game-changing features that most small office owners never even know exist.
We’ve worked with over 100 satisfied local businesses, and time and again, we see the same surprised reactions when clients discover what their Ricoh copier can actually do beyond basic copying. These aren’t just marketing gimmicks – we’re talking about real, practical benefits that can save your small business both time and money every single day.
Let us share the 5 hidden benefits we’ve uncovered through years of hands-on experience that every small office in the GTA should know about Ricoh copiers.
Most small business owners we meet in Toronto and Mississauga assume all office copiers consume roughly the same amount of energy. After testing dozens of models over the years, we can tell you that’s simply not true.
Ricoh’s intelligent energy management system goes far beyond basic sleep mode. We’ve measured actual power consumption in our clients’ offices, and the results consistently surprise us. While a typical office copier might draw 15-20 watts in standby mode, Ricoh copiers we’ve installed often consume as little as 0.5 watts – that’s less than a night light!
Here’s what really impressed us during our testing: Ricoh’s ErP (Energy-related Products) compliance means these machines automatically adjust their energy consumption based on usage patterns. In one Vaughan law office we service, their Ricoh MP C3004 learned their daily routine and now powers down completely during lunch hours and weekends without any manual programming.
Pro Tip: We always configure the energy settings during installation to match your office schedule. A properly configured Ricoh copier can reduce energy costs by 40-60% compared to older models – that’s real money back in your pocket every month.
The math is simple: if your current copier costs $200 annually in electricity, a Ricoh could cut that to $80-120. Over a 5-year period, you’re looking at savings of $400-600 just on power consumption.
We’ve installed mobile printing solutions from various manufacturers, but Ricoh’s Smart Device Connector consistently delivers the most reliable experience for our small office clients across the GTA.
Unlike many competitors that require multiple apps or complex network configurations, Ricoh copiers offer seamless integration with smartphones and tablets right out of the box. We’ve tested this extensively in real-world scenarios: lawyers printing contracts from their phones while meeting clients, accountants scanning documents directly to cloud storage during tax season, and marketing teams printing presentations minutes before client meetings.
What sets Ricoh apart is the security aspect of mobile printing. In our experience setting up systems small businesses, we’ve found that Ricoh’s user authentication ensures that sensitive documents don’t sit in print queues where anyone can grab them. Users must authenticate at the device before their print job releases.
The Ricoh Smart Device Print&Scan app works flawlessly with both iOS and Android devices we’ve tested. We’ve successfully connected it to everything from the latest iPhones to older Android tablets without compatibility issues.
Note: During our installations, we always test mobile connectivity with your actual devices to ensure everything works perfectly before we leave your office.

This is where Ricoh truly shines, and frankly, it’s saved our clients thousands of dollars in lost productivity over the years. Ricoh’s @Remote monitoring system is like having a technician constantly watching your copier’s health.
We’ve been using @Remote across our GTA service area for over a decade, and the results speak for themselves. Instead of waiting for your copier to break down during that crucial client presentation (we’ve all been there!), the system proactively alerts us to potential issues before they become problems.
Here’s a real example from a Toronto accounting firm we service: their Ricoh MP 4055 started showing toner density fluctuations that were invisible to the naked eye but detected by @Remote. We scheduled a preventive service call, replaced a small sensor, and avoided what would have been a complete imaging unit failure right in the middle of tax season.
The system monitors everything – toner levels, paper path sensors, fuser temperature, drum wear, and dozens of other components. We receive detailed reports about your copier’s health and can often fix issues remotely or schedule service at your convenience rather than during an emergency.
Caution: While @Remote monitoring is incredibly reliable, it does require a stable internet connection. During our installations, we always verify your network setup can support this feature properly.
For small offices, this means no more surprise repair bills, no more scrambling to find backup printing solutions, and no more disappointed clients because your copier decided to jam during an important meeting.
We cannot stress this enough – in today’s world, document security is not optional for small businesses. What we’ve learned from working with law firms, medical offices, and financial services companies throughout the GTA is that Ricoh copiers offer enterprise-grade security features that most small office owners don’t even realize they have.
Ricoh’s Hard Disk Drive (HDD) encryption automatically encrypts every document stored on the copier’s hard drive. This means that even if someone physically removed the hard drive from your copier, they couldn’t access your documents without the encryption key. We’ve seen too many businesses assume their documents are safe simply because they set a copy code – that’s not nearly enough protection.
The data overwrite feature is equally important. Every time your Ricoh copier processes a document, it’s temporarily stored on the hard drive. Ricoh automatically overwrites this data multiple times, making it virtually impossible to recover. This is crucial for businesses handling sensitive information.
We’ve implemented user authentication solutions ranging from simple PIN codes to proximity card readers and even biometric scanners on Ricoh copiers. For a Mississauga medical clinic, we set up individual user accounts that track every copy, scan, and print job for HIPAA compliance.
Real-world example: A Vaughan law firm we service had a former employee try to access the copier after hours. Because we’d configured user authentication, the system denied access and logged the attempt. The detailed audit trail provided crucial evidence for their HR investigation.
This might be the most underappreciated benefit we’ve discovered in our 28+ years serving GTA businesses. Ricoh’s workflow integration capabilities transform your copier from a simple printing device into a central hub for document management.
We’ve helped small offices throughout Toronto, Markham, and Brampton implement scan-to-email, scan-to-folder, and scan-to-cloud solutions that eliminate manual filing and dramatically improve efficiency. The beauty of Ricoh’s approach is that these workflows can evolve as your business grows.
Take the Oakville marketing agency we worked with. They started with basic scan-to-email functionality, but as they grew, we added Ricoh’s cloud connector to integrate with their Google Workspace. Now, scanned documents automatically flow into specific Google Drive folders based on client codes, and team members receive notifications when new documents arrive.
Ricoh’s workflow solutions integrate seamlessly with popular business applications like Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Dropbox, and QuickBooks. We’ve configured systems where invoices are automatically scanned, processed through OCR, and imported directly into accounting software – eliminating manual data entry entirely.
Quote from satisfied client: “Before Canada Copier Remarketing Corp set up our Ricoh workflow, our office manager spent 2 hours daily filing and organizing documents. Now everything happens automatically, and she focuses on growing our business instead of managing paperwork.” – Jennifer M., Mississauga Construction Company
The scalability aspect is crucial for small businesses. You can start with basic functionality and add advanced features as your needs evolve, without replacing your copier. We’ve seen clients begin with simple copying and gradually implement document management, optical character recognition, and automated workflows as their operations sophisticate.
After installing and servicing hundreds of Ricoh copiers across the GTA, we can confidently say that these five hidden benefits represent real value that extends far beyond the initial purchase price. The energy savings, mobile integration, predictive maintenance, document security, and scalable workflows work together to create a comprehensive office solution that grows with your business.
What consistently surprises our clients is how quickly these benefits pay for themselves. The energy savings alone often offset monthly lease payments, while the predictive maintenance eliminates costly emergency repairs. The workflow improvements free up staff time for revenue-generating activities, and the security features provide peace of mind that’s invaluable in today’s business environment.
We’ve seen small offices throughout Toronto, Mississauga, Markham, Vaughan, Brampton, and Oakville transform their operations simply by leveraging features that were already built into their Ricoh copiers. The key is working with a partner who understands these capabilities and can configure them properly for your specific needs.
Don’t let your small office miss out on these game-changing Ricoh copier benefits! At Canada Copier Remarketing Corp, we’ve been helping GTA businesses maximize their office equipment investments for over 28 years. Our refurbished Ricoh copiers deliver all these advanced features at prices that make sense for small businesses.
