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 printed in the future. 

Note: The reduce/enlarge scan size feature doesn’t support the high compression PDF file format.

 

Target customers

Anyone who needs to scan documents remotely, such as: 

  • Users who work offsite or out of branch offices, and carry their documentation on a USB device or SD card
  • Students and visitors to public libraries would be able to quickly scan information to their memory device for future reference.

Benefits for the customer

  • Mobility—bulky paper documents can be transferred onto a USB  device or SD card for easy handling
  • Productivity—complex document storage requirements can be reduced
  • Environmentally friendly—information can be scanned to avoid making copies of documents—saving paper and costs
  • Security—users can protect the information on their memory device with a password, ensuring that their scanned documents are secure

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.
