Clear Image Capture

Clear Image Capture is a breakthrough proprietary optical technology innovation debuting in the Ricoh fi-8000 series. True image rendering and colour shift prevention deliver industry leading OCR accuracy rates and image quality that surpasses the capabilities of standard CIS or CCD alone. And, as a more efficient optical technology, power consumption for every scan is reduced. Clear Image Capture also enables capture of the widest range of document types from 20gsm-465gsm – including A4 envelopes, cards, passports, or booklets up to 7mm thick.

Automatic Separation Control

Our patented Automatic Separation Control delivers the perfect feed so organisations can scan larger volumes and mixed batches of documents with confidence. By sensing their weight and adapting and adjusting torque automatically, mis-feed and mid-scan interruptions are eliminated. This guarantees feed stability for different document formats and saves users from wasting time sorting different document types into individual batches. It also enables the 100 sheet ADF capacity and higher speeds for more efficient, high-throughput workgroup scanning. A scanner driver that cleans and optimises image files for faster, lower-cost access and storage.

Industry Leading Paper Protection

The Ricoh fi-8170 scanner protects documents from damage using innovative new technology. Patentedǂ Image Monitoring identifies overly skewed documents in real time and halts the scanning process before they can be damaged. ISoP will do the same if it detects any abnormal feed sounds. While Lag Detection ensures documents are feeding through at the expected speed.

Specialist Passport Capture Capability

The patentedǂ feeding mechanism ensures safe capture of passports with a carrier sheet, while MRZ recognition ensures consistently accurate capture of personal data.

PaperStream IP Driver

The fi-8170 comes bundled with PaperStream IP, an integrated scanner driver and image enhancement module that is built on TWAIN/ISIS standards offering user friendly operability, intuitive high quality image creation and real time processing that will benefit post scan routines like OCR.

PaperStream Capture

Also bundled is PaperStream Capture which is an easy to use capture tool which allows users to easily create batch scanning profiles which encapsulate all of the settings and configuration required to control the scanning process from scan, to the release of the image to the users normal work flow. Once created, batch profiles can be run by a single click or can be linked to scanner front panel buttons to streamline the whole capture process.
