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:

Print settingPDFJPEGTIFF
Paper tray selectYesYesYes
DuplexYesYesYes
BookletYesNoNo
Sort/stackYesYesYes
StapleYesYesYes
PunchYesYesYes
QuantityYesYesYes
Combine (layout)YesNoNo

Fit to paper sizeYesYesYes
Resolution/print qualityYesYesYes

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.

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: Calculat...

ECO Night Sensor

ECO Night Sensor Ricoh’s ECO Night Sensor is an energy saving feature that works by detecting the amount of ambient light in the room. Depending on available settings in a Ricoh device, it automatically turns off the device’s main power, or shifts it to Energy Saver Mode, when the amount of light falls below a certain level. The latest version of ECO Night Sensor also turns the power on when the amount of light increases. The sensor detects the increase and fall of both natural and artificial light, significantly reducing the device’s power consumption and running cost How does it work?  The sensor is located on the operation panel, and its settings can be changed at the operation panel display. The settings include the level of light that triggers the power off timer, and the amount of time for a device to turn off after the light threshold was detected.  Brightness level When ECO Night Sensor detects the light level threshold, the timer is activated....
