Scan to webmail - RICOH MFP Feature

Scan to webmail is a Ricoh scanner feature, enabling documents to be scanned and sent directly from a multifunction product (MFP) to email.

Scan to webmail is very secure and cost effective—there’s no need to purchase additional software or hardware.


How does it work?

Scan to webmail—also known as SMTP over SSL—is supported when using Scan to email via an SMTP server. The SSL encryption via the SMTP server secures the email being sent, and protects against unauthorised access to the mail server.

Setting the SSL for SMTP connection is specified by the administrator who sets up email using SMTP over SSL from the operation panel of the MFP.

Supported file formats

Scan to webmail supports single-page TIFF, JPEG, PDF, PDF/A, and high compression PDFs, as well as multi page TIFF, PDF, PDF/As, and high compression PDF file formats.

 

Enlarging or reducing scans

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.

Need additional security?

With Scan to webmail, the administrator and users’ username and password can be encrypted. Usernames, passwords, and internet printing protocol (IPP) authentication can be made more secure by using IPsec, SNMP v3, and SSL simultaneously. When SMTP over SSL is enabled, Internet fax will be disabled—Ricoh devices with a GW controller don’t support SSL reception

When using IPsec or SSL functions on Ricoh MFPs with a GWNX controller, AES 256-bit and SHA-2 advanced encryption algorithms can be applied.

Scan to webmail also allows users to add a digital signature to their communications.

These security features are particularly useful for customers that communicate with government departments requiring a high level of information security.

Benefits for the customer

  • Mobility—Scan to webmail provides users with convenient access to their scanned information—ideal for users working offsite or travelling
  • Secure transmission—users can securely Scan to webmail, protecting both the email and the information on their mail server
  • Secure retrieval—unlike fax transmissions, scanned documents are sent directly to the intended recipient’s email account and are not left on a fax machine awaiting collection
  • Cost effective—securely scan documents to email without the cost of additional software or dedicated hardware

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...

Scan to folder - RICOH MFP Feature

Ricoh’s multifunction products (MFPs) allow users to send scanned documents to shared folders on various networks. Compatible MFPs support these three methods of Scan to folder: Scan to SMB (for Windows environments) Scan to NCP (for Novell NetWare environments) Scan to FTP (for environments with mixed operating systems). Many Ricoh MFPs also allow users to combine Scan to folder and Scan to email destinations in the same job.    Enlarging and reducing scans MFPs with a GWNX controller allow users to enlarge or reduce the size of their scan to a different supported paper size automatically, for example, an A5 size document can be scanned to A4 size.  Supported file types Scan to folder supports single-page TIFF, JPEG, PDF, PDF/A, and high compression PDFs, as well as multi page TIFF, PDF, PDF/As, and high compression PDF file formats. Users can also add a digital signature using the Scan to Digitally Signed PDF feature. Homefolder over LDAP support Supported by Ricoh MFPs...

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 setting PDF JPEG TIFF Paper tray select Yes Yes Yes Duplex Yes Yes Yes Booklet Yes No No Sort/stack Yes Yes Yes Staple Yes Yes Yes Punch...
