Section 508 Compliance

Working Toward A Higher Standard

Ricoh Mission:

The Ricoh accessibility mission is to be the leading provider of accessible document imaging products. Ricoh wants to enable the workgroup office environment to maximize their productivity through the use of accessible technology. Using software utilities and networked solutions, Ricoh will streamline document workflow, as well as make advanced features accessible to all.

Ricoh Corporation has engaged Georgia Tech Research Institute to assist in establishing a higher standard of compliance with Section 508. Georgia Tech has developed an assessment methodology to assist manufacturers and procurement officials in determining the accessibility of Electronic and Information Technology (E&IT) products. Ricoh believes that accessibility is equivalent to a more productive, user-friendly product. To this end, Ricoh will inaugurate accessibility standards that help users maximize the accessibility of office automation technology.
