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

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....
