PFU has launched its Ricoh SP 2240N and SP 2230N document scanners, which are designed to deliver high quality results that streamline everyday business workflows but at a price that is affordable to businesses of all sizes.
For small businesses trying to establish themselves in their sector, anything that can make everyday tasks faster and more efficient is welcomed. With digitalisation now standard, documents scanning is one of those everyday tasks that can consume valuable time that employees would rather be spending on higher value tasks.
But some scanners can be pricey – especially for cash-strapped small businesses. To fill this gap in the market PFU Limited has introduced the Ricoh SP 2240N and Ricoh SP 2230N, two compact document scanners designed to provide efficient, reliable scanning for day to day business operations.
The new devices are built on trusted Ricoh fi Series technology and offer a strong balance of quality and affordability for organisations of all sizes, with scanning speeds of up to 40 pages per minute (ppm) for the SP 2240N and 30ppm for the SP 2230N.
These scanners are designed to reduce administrative effort and streamline everyday workflows, meaning that valuable time is given back to a business to help employees focus on the most important thing – growing the business and its profits.
Making everyday business workflows easierÂ
One of the key features of the SP2240N and SP-2230N scanners is how they simplify routine document tasks by delivering dependable performance that balances affordability with consistent quality, making them ideal for cost conscious businesses. It also positions them well for small businesses that might not have in-house technical expertise so require an easy-to-use device.
For instance, the devices are designed for regular daily use and include things like the Paper Protection function, which includes real time image monitoring technology, prevents document damage and maintains reliable operation for uninterrupted workflows.
Meanwhile, 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 – again, ideal for smaller businesses.
Advanced accuracy and clear image quality
Another key feature of the devices is that advanced OCR and image processing convert scanned documents into usable data more quickly and with fewer manual corrections, reducing rework and downstream delays.
Powered by PFU Clear Image Capture technology, the scanners produce clear, consistent results that support faster data extraction and improved operational efficiency. 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.
Fast and simple PC-based digitisationÂ
The new scanners offer convenient, one-click document digitisation. With the enhanced PaperStream ClickScan software, users can scan and save files immediately by selecting ‘Scan’ from a right-click menu, with easy pre-setting. Users can also initiate scanning with a single press of the scanner’s on device button, making PC-based and on-device digitisation faster and more straightforward – again ideal for small businesses without in-house technical expertise, or larger businesses that just want devices to work straight out of the box with no learning involved.
Flexible PC-less scanningÂ
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. Even 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. The result is a smooth, efficient and flexible scanning experience designed for today’s collaborative workplaces.
The SP-2240N and SP-2230N are positioned at an affordable price, but are aimed at businesses across the spectrum.
