Ricoh Aficio 3228C

Scan

The Ricoh Aficio 3228C ships with a wide
range of network scanning utilities as
standard. These include Scan to email,
Scan to folder, Scan to FTP and Scan to
Internet fax.
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP) integration is included along with
serverless scan to folder and SMTP plus
POP standard features.

LDAP Integration

LDAP allows the Ricoh Aficio 3228C's
scan to email utility to integrate with central
corporate contact databases. This is a far
more preferable solution than when MFPs
were restricted to storing email addresses
as a pre-defined template on a device by
device basis, or manually typing the entire
email address using the touch screen
QWERTY keypad.
With LDAP, users can enter the first few
letters of an address, and the search
engine will show all matching names on
the central contact list. Users can still enter
names which are not stored on the central
database using the QWERTY touch
screen interface.

Network Authentication

IT managers are always concerned with
the possible threat of viruses. Most

damaging viruses are often spread through
email. Viruses often search for unprotected
email servers, from where they can
distribute themselves using the
organization's entire contact database in a
matter of seconds.
To protect the company and its clients
from this type of attack, many IT managers
are now protecting any gateway to the
central email server via authentication. The
basic level of protection is SMTP
authentication, which sets up a single
password for the email server. The
second, and more secure level of security
is POP before SMTP authentication, where
every device around the network requires
its own POP authentication code before it
is allowed to communicate with the email
server. By having both forms of
authentication available, the Ricoh Aficio
3228C will be more acceptable to security-
conscious IT managers.

Scan to Email

The scan to email feature on the Ricoh
Aficio 3228C has a good level of
functionality. Users can add cc and bcc
addresses, plus include the sender's email
address) if stored on the system).
Users choose destinations from the stored
address book, via manual entry using the
QWERTY keypad or via a search through
the LDAP central contact database
