Print from USB/SD - RICOH MFP

Print from USB/SD is a Ricoh print function enabling users to print files directly from a USB memory device or an SD card, without needing to access a PC.

How does it work?

As long as the printer or multifunction product (MFP) has the USB/SD connection, users insert their USB/SD device, select the document they wish to print from the MFP’s operation panel, and print.

 

Checking print job settings

On supported Ricoh devices with a GWNX controller, users can check that they have selected the correct file to print, and that the correct print settings have been applied at the operation panel. By adjusting any incorrect settings before releasing the document to print, the amount of wasted time, energy, and paper is reduced.

Depending on the device specifications, these print settings can be checked at the operation panel:

Sort/stackYesYesYes
StapleYesYesYes
PunchYesYesYes
QuantityYesYesYes
Combine (layout)YesNoNo

Supported file formats

Print from USB/SD supports PDF, JPEG, and TIFF file formats. Password protected PDFs can also be printed from the USB/SD when prompted to enter the password on the operation panel. 


Do all Ricoh printers and MFPs support Print from USB/SD?

Most Ricoh devices with a USB/SD card slot support Print from USB/SD, however this needs to be checked for each device. Some functionality, such as checking the settings at the operation panel, are available only on devices with a GWNX controller.

Can users print from their existing USB memory devices and SD cards?

Yes, unless they are unrecognisable due to their specifications. For example, some memory devices may not be supported by the device drivers on the Ricoh device.

Target customers

Users who work offsite and carry their documents on USB memory devices or SD cards, find Print from USB/SD a very convenient solution. They can save a lot of time by not having to log on to a PC to print documentation.

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? From supported Ricoh multifunction products (MFPs) with USB/SD slots, users insert their USB/SD card, and follow the instructions on the operation panel to scan their document to the memory device.  When the user removes their USB/SD card from the MFP, they can access their scanned files immediately with their PC, laptop, or other mobile device. Which file formats are supported? Scan to USB/SD supports PDF/A, single-page TIFF, JPEG, PDF, and high compression PDFs, as well as multi page TIFF, PDF and high compression PDF file formats. Can the scan be enlarged or reduced? Ricoh MFPs with a GWNX controller allow users to automatically reduce or enlarge the size of their scan to a different supported paper size. For example, an A4 size document can be scanned to A5 paper size. This is ideal to save both storage space, and paper, if the document will be p

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

When a customer buys a Ricoh device, the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) includes the purchase price and the running costs over the lifetime of the product. The TCO is calculated in steps, using these costs and quantities: Cost of supplies and consumables Expected yield of supplies and consumables Document volumes Expected lifespan of the device Purchase price. Many different software tools are available, via the internet and from your sales manager, to help you calculate TCO. Four steps to calculate TCO There are basically four steps to calculate the TCO: Step 1:  Calculate Cost Per Page (CPP) Step 2:  Calculate average monthly running cost Step 3:  Calculate lifetime running cost Step 4:  Calculate TCO. You can use these steps to calculate the TCO of a Ricoh device and a competitor's device. The difference in TCO between different devices is an important part of the sales approach, when TCO is an advantage. This column contains the business overview. Step 1: Calculate Cost Per Page

User authentication - RICOH

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. User authentication methods Supported Ricoh multifunction products (MFPs) provide four methods to control user access: Windows authentication LDAP authentication Basic authentication User codes.   Windows authentication Users are required to log on to the device using their existing Windows network username and password. Only users with a valid username and password can
