PFU Limited (PFU) has launched two compact document scanners: the Ricoh SP‑2240N and Ricoh SP‑2230N, with scanning speeds of up to 40 ppm for the SP‑2240N and 30 ppm for the SP‑2230N.
The SP-2240N and SP-2230N are network document scanners aimed at SMBs, office and departmental use, intended for everyday business workflows such as scanning invoices, HR documents, forms and correspondence.
Balances Affordabilty with Performance
The scanners balance affordability with consistent quality, making them ideal for cost‑conscious businesses. Designed for regular daily use, the Paper Protection function, including real‑time image monitoring technology, prevents document damage and maintains reliable operation for uninterrupted workflows. Versatile document handling accommodates standard business documents, plastic cards and A3 documents folded in half. Their compact design and 80‑sheet ADF enable busy teams to remain productive, even in space‑restricted office environments.
Advanced OCR and Image Processing
Advanced OCR and image processing convert scanned documents into usable data more quickly and with fewer manual corrections, reducing rework and delays. Powered by PFU Clear Image Capture technology, the scanners produce clear, consistent results that support fast data extraction. Intelligent image processing automatically manages adjustments such as paper size detection and auto rotation, ensuring accurate output regardless of document type or orientation. By reducing errors and unnecessary steps, overall processing time is shortened and workflows remain efficient.
One‑click document digitisation
The new scanners offer convenient, one‑click document digitisation. With PaperStream ClickScan software, users can scan and save files immediately by selecting “Scan” from a right‑click menu. Users can also initiate scanning with a single press of the scanner’s on‑device button, making both PC‑based and on‑device digitisation faster and more straightforward.
The new iiGA powers flexible PC‑less scanning in shared, multi‑user workplaces
Powered by the new iiGA next‑generation SoC (System on a Chip), the enhanced DirectScan function delivers fast, intuitive PC‑free scanning directly from the device, although certain features will only become available in upcoming updates, and notwithstanding that a PC will be required to configure the scanner’s settings.
In shared office environments, iiGA maintains high scanning speeds while supporting advanced image processing, including automatic image orientation. Destinations such as save locations or email recipients can be assigned to the scanner’s three on‑device buttons, enabling convenient one‑touch workflows. Scanned files can also be attached to emails immediately, allowing teams to digitise and share documents with fewer manual steps.
Ricoh SP‑2240N and Ricoh SP‑2230N have been designed for today’s collaborative workplaces.
