Ricoh SD Series MFP Delivers Premium “Production” Style Scanning
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.

Ricoh Awarded 2025 ENERGY STAR CANADA Award
Ricoh has once again been recognized by Natural Resources Canada with a 2025 ENERGY STAR Canada Award for Manufacturer of the Year – Electronics. A five-time honoree since 2019, the achievement exemplifies an enduring dedication to the sustainable manufacturing of energy-efficient products, echoing Ricoh’s commitment of nearly 50 years to conducting business in a way that supports the preservation of the environment and the sustainability of the planet.
In addition to contributing to ENERGY STAR, Ricoh supports energy efficiency and a sustainable society in a variety of ways, including the Ricoh Sustainable Development Award (RSDA), a monetary scholarship presented to a high school student whose science project demonstrates innovation in environmental sustainability at the annual Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair. In its 20th year, the RSDA has awarded more than $480,000 in scholarships to date. The 2025 winner, Hanah Koh of Harmony Science Academy in El Paso, TX, received $10,000 for her project, “HeatLeaf,” which used smart design to create a small-scale renewable energy system that combined solar, wind, and thermal sources, and implemented biomimetic principles of plant species to generate power that could potentially be scaled to power homes.
DDL’s commitment to environmental sustainability mirror’s Ricoh’s own. Ricoh’s Founding Principles from 1946 include “The Spirit of Three Loves” — “Love your neighbour, Love your country, Love your work.” The ENERGY STAR Canada Award is a reflection of this commitment, along with numerous milestones and achievements throughout history.
