| The Ricoh Developer Program™ offers a large collection of development tools suitable for all levels of developers. Tools can range from simple Command Sets to powerful Software Development Kits (SDKs).
Access to development tools depends on the membership level to which developers subscribe: the higher the level the more tools are available for download.
If you want to know more about RiDP™ development tools, just register for Basic membership, which is entirely free. You will then gain access to the member area of the web site where you will find detailed information about each tool, as well as additional documentation like brochures or white papers. |
 | PCL Command Set
 This supplement describes the language specification of the Ricoh specific PCL (Printer Control Language), to assist in the development of programs that utilize it. PCL (Ricoh specific) is based on the Printer Control Language (PCL) of Hewlett Packard. In order to accommodate the unique functionality of Ricoh devices, some commands have been expanded.

|
| Standard MIB Specification
 Management Information Base (MIB) is a database related to network administration of connected print devices and has been implemented on Ricoh printers and multifunctional products. Normally, network-printing devices are referred to as agents and a network management application is called the manager. From the manager’s point of view, each print device is a separate resource or database of information managed via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
