Scan to USB/SD - RICOH MFP Feature

Scan to USB/SD is a Ricoh scan function enabling users to scan documents directly to a USB memory device or an SD card. How does it work?

User authentication is a process for authorised users to validate that they are who they say they are, by some pre-arranged criteria. Typically, user authentication is required to allow access to electronic devices, networks, or services. A common user authentication process is accessing bank accounts at an automatic teller machine (ATM). This requires us to enter a bank-issued security card, followed by a personal identification number (PIN) at the keypad. Because user authentication is a part of daily life, the requirement for user authentication to access office automation equipment at work is a standard expectation.
