Scan to Folder

The Ricoh Aficio 3228C offers serverless
scan to folder capability, a feature missing
from some of the not so recent Aficio
models. Previous Ricoh MFPs have
required a separate server-based
application to run in conjunction with the
Ricoh MFPs scan to folder function. The
3228C does not need this because it
operates directly across SMTP networks
using SMB. We were impressed to find
that users can browse to a network folder
on the fly rather than having to set up
templates before hand.

Scan to FTP

While scan to folder provides a method of
sending documents to other Windows PCs
it does not allows for sharing across Unix
or Macintosh platforms. For this Ricoh
includes scan to FTP, which sends files
using FTP protocol, which can be
accessed by a much wider range of
operating platforms. FTP templates can be
set up in advance using the management
utilities or directly from the copier using the
QWERTY keypad.

Scan to Internet Fax

More and more offices fax devices are now
being sold with Internet Fax. An Internet
fax enabled device (when set up to the
network with its own email address) can
send and receive hard copy documents
using the Internet as the delivery medium
rather than the expensive telephone lines.
Files are sent as TIFF-F files and offer
significant cost saving opportunities for
companies that send long distance/
international faxes. The fax option is
required before users can send documents
via internet fax.

GlobalScan

The top of the range scanning solution for
larger corporations, GlobalScan provides
extensive integration with third party
software solutions (including leading
document management packages like
Hummingbird, Documentum, iManage,
RightFax network fax server, plus others).
GlobalScan also allows users to send
scanned files to multiple different
destination types in a single process. For
example, a document can be sent to
numerous email addresses, archived on
the corporate FTP site and stored on a
local desktop folder.

External Data Source Scan Destinations

With more and more people on the move,
the need to be able to transfer files and
documents quickly is becoming more and
more important. We are not seeing devices
enter the market with USB flash drive port
support and SD digital card data port
capability. We would like to see Ricoh add
one or both of these options with the ability
to scan directly to the data source. This
would be a valuable feature for devices
placed within a business center or airport
lounge, allowing business professionals to
scan hard copy documents directly onto a
medium that can later be transferred back
to their laptop. At the present time there is
already one manufacturer offering scan to
SD card capability.
