File Format Converter (Mlb) - Ricoh B202 Service Manual

FILE FORMAT CONVERTER (MLB)

6.15 FILE FORMAT CONVERTER (MLB)
In previous models (such as A-C2, R-C2), DeskTopBinder V2 could retrieve copy
and print jobs from the document server and convert them to TIFF. However, this
software-based conversion was slow for many users.
In this machine, this conversion is hardware-based, using the optional File Format
Converter. Without the File Format Converter, copy and print jobs cannot be
downloaded to a PC (or e-Cabinet) from the document server.
Two common target formats are provided for conversion to files that can be
selected by the SP modes: These are JPEG and TIFF.
In scanner mode, users can select file format from TIFF, JPEG, or PDF. The time
to create TIFF and JPEG files is shortened with the File Format Converter,
especially for high scanning resolution and large image size. When the customer
selects PDF, the machine creates a TIFF or JPEG file from the scanned image
first. Then it converts it to PDF. Therefore, the total time to create a PDF is also
shortened with the File Format Converter.
