Product Dynamics 

Imaging Unit Design  

 
The Ricoh Aficio 3228C uses laser 
technology.  
 
There is still great controversy between 
whether laser or LED technology is the 
better way to go. LED uses fixed LED 
arrays to create the image on the moving 
drum while laser technology, as the name 
suggests, uses one or more laser beams 
that are directed to create the image on 
the moving drum via rotating mirrors.  
 
LED proponents claim that laser imaging 
technology is more prone to environmental 
fluctuation while laser technology 
enthusiasts promote that laser imaging is 
more flexible allowing smaller and different 
sized dots to be created.  
 
In reality, BERTL has seen good and bad 
output from both laser and LED printers 
over the years and advises users to look 
beyond the theory of the imaging process 
and see how the device is able to handle 
the specific workload critical to your 
business. Indeed, many manufacturers 
include both LED and laser imaging 
technologies in their range.  
 
Just remember not to get sucked in by the 
hype and focus on what you need the 
technology to do, — create good quality 
output for your needs. A device that 
produces good PowerPoint presentation 
slides may create poor halftone 
photography, making it ideal for some and 
a waste of money for others. 
 
The imaging drums are aligned in a 
tandem fashion, one drum for each color. 
The drums, as you can see from the top 
photo are positioned at a 45 degree angle 
with the paper passing along the transfer 
belt over each drum in turn, where the 
image is built up. This layout allows the 
Ricoh Aficio 3228C to maintain a more 

compact footprint compared to some rivals 
that have the imaging units in a line 
parallel to the floor.  
 

End User Maintenance 

 
While virtually all devices will be sold with 
a maintenance contract, the trend is 
towards designing devices that allow end 
users to carry out routine maintenance 
tasks themselves in an emergency.  
 
Toner supply changes are easy, with the 
side door opening to reveal the four toner 
bottles.  
 
To gain access to the imaging drum 
themselves is not as easy, requiring the 
removal of several screw — a factor that 
might put some end users off.
