Beyond property, equipment, and financial investments, data is one of your organization’s most important assets. Document digitization is a key component of any data management strategy. Robust scanners provide accurate, efficient, and cost-effective ways of capturing data from physical documents. Packing powerful features into a compact construction, the Ricoh fi-8170 is a capable heavy-duty desktop scanner.
Heavy Duty Design
As one of the flagship models in Ricoh’s fi series, the 8170 features a heavy-duty construction. Thanks to its design, it delivers dependable performance with uninterrupted workflows. With an Expected Daily Volume of 10,000 sheets, it can easily meet the needs of an entire department or a small-to-medium business office.
Exceptional Paper Handling
Versatility is key to any office document scanner, and the fi-8170 more than delivers. Its capabilities include mixed document batching, which reduces scanning times by eliminating the need to start and stop each document scan individually. The 8170 incorporates a 100-sheet automated document feeder plus fast double-sided scanning with speeds of up to 70 pages per minute. Thanks to its ADF and manual feed capabilities plus paper guides, the fi-8170 can easily handle a wide range of paper sizes:
- Minimum Paper Size: 1.9 x 2.0 inches
- Maximum Paper Size: 8.5 x 14.0 inches
- Long Page Scans: Up to 240 inches (20 feet)
Besides standard paper, the 8170 can scan booklets under 7.0 millimeters thick and plastic cards less than 1.4 millimeters thick.
Advanced Paper Protection
Preventing misfeeds and jams prevents damage to your originals. Ricoh technologies such as Intelligent Sonic Paper Protection stop these common problems before they start. Nicknamed iSOP for short, this feature uses sound monitoring. By tracking incoming scans, iSOP can detect stapled or misaligned pages and stop the scan before it feeds through the machine.
Ricoh pairs iSOP with Image Monitoring, which tracks incoming scans for unusual distances between pages. Overlap detection relies on ultrasonic sensors, checking for multiple pages stuck together and stopping them from feeding through the scanner.
Superb Clarity and Accuracy
The Ricoh fi-8170 incorporates Clear Image Capture, boosting imaging clarity and quality. CIC digitizes images using 4,913 color levels, compared to 30 color levels with similar older technologies. Besides better color accuracy, CIC uses algorithms to avert color shifting and line distortion. Even with creased, crumpled, and folded originals, CIC ensures the most complete data capturing possible.
Streamlining Data Management
Along with its fi series scanners, Ricoh’s EdgeXperience Capture Service lowers costs and improves efficiency in your data management strategies. As a large-scale cloud capture service, EdgeXperience allows you to capture and transmit scanned documents from multiple remote locations. By eliminating the need to scan to local PCs, this service lets you centrally manage your data and enjoy peace of mind with improved security and disaster recovery.
Solutions for Every Business
Businesses of every size require efficient document imaging solutions that meet their needs and budgets. Remote workers also need scanning options for their home offices. With a small footprint and easy touchscreen operation, a receipt scanner like the Ricoh ScanSnap iX1600 is an ideal choice. Wi-Fi connection and direct scan-to-cloud functionality give you additional convenience and security for capturing data.
