In all fairness, even Ricoh has had a tough time with a definitive answer on this subject; I've heard conflicting answers, to say the least.

Ricoh Tech Pub GEN-078 describes which machines can forward to email as a .pdf, and which ones cannot. It is dated July 2, 2009. While I certainly can't guarantee its accuracy, I have no reason to doubt it.

Unfortunately, I cannot post that document here with getting myself into hot water.

Please PM me if you would like further information.
