Ricoh Adds Alexa Voice Control to Multifunction Printers

Ricoh’s IM series of multifunction printers can be controlled by voice using Alexa for Business, said the company Tuesday. Voice control can be used to execute simple voice commands for changing document settings such as quantity, color and duplex printing, it said. The technology is configurable with Ricoh's enhanced screen readers that help users who have trouble seeing the device screen, allowing them to give verbal commands.
