Ricoh PostScript3 Unit Type M37: Compatibility Guide
The Ricoh IM C2000, C2500, C3000, C3500, C4500, and C6000 are the modern color MFP line that replaced the MP Cex series. These machines are widely deployed in mid-size to large offices, but the base configuration does not include PostScript. The PostScript3 Unit Type M37 is the official Ricoh upgrade that unlocks Adobe PostScript Level 3 emulation, ensuring accurate output from creative software, enterprise ERPs, and high-volume PDF workflows.
The PostScript3 Unit Type M37 is an official Ricoh hardware module that adds Adobe PostScript Level 3 emulation to compatible Ricoh MFPs. It is delivered as a small SD-card-sized board that plugs into the controller slot inside the machine. Once installed, the printer gains a native PostScript 3 driver option in the print driver and on the device panel.

Why Do You Need PostScript 3?
Without PostScript, your Ricoh MFP uses the standard GDI/RPCS driver, which rasterizes the print job on your computer. This causes problems with complex PDFs, architectural CAD drawings, graphic design files, and documents from Mac or enterprise ERP software. PostScript 3 moves the rendering to the printer itself, producing consistent, high-fidelity output across different computers and software applications.
