Ricoh Aficio 1515PS

[Guest]

Hi,

I currently have a Ricoh Aficio 1515MF, however this machine has some faults, and I have decided to dispose it safely.

I came across this model (bit.ly), and I don't know what the difference between the 1515MF and the 1515PS is.

Is this bit.ly a good model?

Thanks

If memory serves the MF model is a standard GW board so it can understand PCL and RPCS printer language, PS means it can also natively understand Postscript via an optional card.

The Aficio 1515MF (B130) is a MultiFunction model and should include print, scan, and FAX functions. The Aficio 1515SP is not a valid model for North America, but based on standard Ricoh model labeling the SP indicates Scanner/Printer and might not have FAX function. Otherwise, the two are the same basic machine, i.e. same toner, PCU, developer, and parts.

Above is correct, and the PS stands for SCAN and PRINT, whereas the MF has PRINT, SCAN, and FAX. The PS and MF both came standard with printing, Postscript was optional I believe on both. Here is a link to a copy of the Ricoh 1515 brochure.

The next model up was a 161, followed by the 171, and finally a 201. All of these Aficio models were pretty much the same interface on the same frame for quite a while. Very popular and still a lot of them in the field.

I never recall a PS model to tell you the truth.

Yes you do....and you were offered tons of great suggestions on how you might deal with your problem, which sounds very much like a routine issue.
