The RICOH SD series, available today, provide a revolutionary automatic single-pass document feeder (SPDF) that accommodates multiple unique media types, delivering the most flexible feeding capabilities for an office MFP on the market today.

While traditional MFP scanners are efficient document management tools, their media handling capacities can be limited. Due to a curved path, unique format originals, such as plastic ID cards, can only be scanned on an MFP’s exposure glass, resulting in a tedious and time-consuming process. This can result in downtime for businesses due to the physical sorting and setting of originals, frustrating paper jams, and misalignment of scanned images.

RICOH SD series practically eliminates these challenges with a revolutionary production-class straight path document feeder (single-pass or SPDF). Incorporating paper transport technology from PFU – a Ricoh Company that manufactures Ricoh document scanners – it dramatically reduces jams while allowing for seamless scanning of mixed originals in a single batch. From thin cash register receipts to fragile thermal or carbonless paper to rigid ID cards, the SPDF on the RICOH SD Series accepts almost anything in its feeder. Users simply place their originals – any size, format, and orientation – in the SPDF and let the MFP do the rest. The RICOH SD Series automatically detects irregularities, and makes orientation and skew adjustments, producing a correctly sized image instantly viewable on the third-generation 10.1” Smart Operation Panel.
