Scanning

Unified Client for Ricoh Smart Operation Panel 1.1 offers the ability to perform many different scan tasks, including scanning to email and network folders through SharePoint (team site) and scanning directly a fax through RightFax. To use these options, the Capture and Send function, which enables the Unified Client for Ricoh Smart Operation Panel 1.1 to perform these tasks, must be set up and licensed.

Unified Client for Ricoh Smart Operation Panel 1.1 acts as a user-facing experience to handle numerous scanning solutions. For example, Equitrac Scan-to-Me functions are handled through the Unified Client for Ricoh Smart Operation Panel 1.1, and users can scan to network folders, email addresses or directly to fax recipients based on the workflow chosen. The workflow experience for each feature is identical to an end user regardless of the product used to process the scan. The options available to a user depend upon the administrator's setup, the user's settings, and which features are licensed. Scan settings and processes are handled through the Ricoh Scan GUI service.

Scanning can proceed either by using the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) on the device, or by scanning directly from the glass of the MFP one sheet at a time. The actual scanning process and scan settings per job are handled through the Ricoh Scan GUI Service.

Note: If a user wants to quit a scan, this can be done using the Stop button at any time. However, if the document being scanned is using the ADF, the pages will finish running through the ADF before stopping the process.

Note: If a user presses the Home button during a scan, the following message is displayed: "Device is scanning. Unable to return to Launcher."

Note: Users can append pages to documents mid-scan job when scanning from the glass. However, appending pages to scan jobs through the ADF is not supported.

Note: Scanning is accomplished through the Ricoh Scan GUI Service. This service differs when using Ricoh A3 devices.
