Scan to Email (Cont’d)
Users can also choose to preview pages in full color be- fore committing a scan file. On the preview, window users can zoom in to check the legibility of the document and browse from page to page if required. This valuable fea- ture ensures that data capture is accurate, saving valu- able processing time later in the document handling phase.
The preview was high enough in quality to be able to read text down to an 8 point size with ease.
The Preview mode is an invaluable tool that allows Ricoh users to check that each file is to a high enough quality before committing the job to the outgoing transmission queue.
Another valuable feature that Ricoh has included in the scan function is the ability to attach previously stored files to email functions. To do this, users select the ‘Select Stored File’ icon on the lower left side of the scan win- dow. The user can then browse stored files as file lists or view thumbnails and simply choose those files that they wish to use. This can save valuable time when process- ing repeat documents such as information brochures, order forms, T&Cs alongside hard copy scan workflows.
For internal communications where bandwidth may limit file size transfers via email, users can also store docu- ments on the hard drive of the device and instead send an email with a URL Link that allows the recipient to download the file across the network without having to go via the SMTP mail server, thus avoiding bandwidth limita- tions.
Last, but by no means least, is the ability to scan in full color. This valuable feature is a clear differentiator be- tween the device and most of its rivals which are still lim- ited to monochrome scanning. See later in the report for more information on the color scanning capabilities of the device.
