RICOH WORKGROUPDocument Scanners

What are Fujitsu Workgroup Scanners?

Ricoh-Fujitsu Image Scanners, including the fi-8150, fi-8170, and fi-8190 models, represent the pinnacle of scanning technology, seamlessly combining innovation and reliability. Designed to enhance productivity and streamline workflow, these workgroup scanners offer unmatched precision and efficiency in capturing a wide range of documents. Workgroup scanners provide speed and production capacity and integrate easily with most network systems via ethernet. Workgoup scanners are most often found attached to a PC at an employee's desk and are not used for heavy-duty scanning.¹ These workgroup high-speed scanners are not flatbed scanners. Instead, they have an automated document feeder (ADF) of 100 sheets. Workgroup document scanners are not portable scanners because they are not battery-powered like some of the ScanSnap models. These devices provide for workflows of 8,000 to 13,000 scans daily.

Ricoh Workgroup Scanning

Ricoh-Fujitsu Document Scanners, comprising the fi-8150, fi-8170, and fi-8190, redefine scanning experiences with cutting-edge features and robust capabilities. These scanners employ innovative feeding and Clear Image Capture (CIC) technology, setting industry standards for reliability. Their Automatic Separation Control (ASC) optimizes paper feed, ensuring stable operations even during high-volume scanning at remarkable speeds of 50 to 90 ppm.

The scanners feature a "Paper Protection" function that utilizes Image Monitoring technology, guaranteeing document safety during scanning. These scanners offer unparalleled flexibility with support for various document types, including passports and booklets. The PFU Clear Image Capture enhances image quality, delivering high-definition data while conserving energy.

Alternatives

An alternative document scanner to consider is the Ricoh fi-8140, which is helpful for a small workgroup needing to accomplish various office tasks. It has a smaller ADF capacity of 50 sheets and operates at 40 ppm, ideal for less demanding workgroup tasks. For organizations requiring a departmental capable scan device, the fi-7480, with a daily capacity of 24,000 scans at 80 ppm, maybe a better match. Enterprises requiring production scanners with daily scans of 44,000 to 130,000 may want to consider the fi-7700 Flatbed Scanner, the fi-7900 Production Scanner, or the workhorse fi-8950. The Ricoh fi-8950 provides 150 ppm production with 130,000 daily scans capacity.
