PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Ricoh fi-8170 A4 Duplex Document Scanner, 70 ppm / 140 ipm, USB 3.2 & Gigabit Ethernet (PA03810-B051) - 1 Year Local Warranty
70 ppm Duplex Scanning for Busy Departments
The Ricoh fi-8170 is an A4 desktop production scanner from the fi-8000 series. It scans at 70 pages per minute simplex and 140 images per minute duplex (A4, 200/300 dpi), holds 100 sheets in the ADF and is rated by Ricoh for an expected daily volume of 10,000 sheets.
PFU Clear Image Capture
Two CIS sensors with RGB LED light sources capture both sides in one pass at 600 dpi optical resolution. Ricoh's "PFU Clear Image Capture" design delivers high-definition images while keeping power consumption low (28 W or less operating, 17 W in Eco mode).
Handles Mixed Batches, Cards and Booklets
The fi-8170 accepts paper from 20 to 465 g/m², plastic cards up to 1.4 mm, long pages up to 6,096 mm and, in Manual Feed Mode, booklets up to 7 mm thick. Ultrasonic overlap detection, length detection and Intelligent Sonic Paper Protection (iSOP) help prevent missed pages and damaged originals.
USB and Gigabit Ethernet Built In
Connect by USB 3.2 Gen1x1 or share the scanner on the network over the built-in 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port. PaperStream IP (TWAIN/ISIS), WIA, macOS (ICA) and Linux (SANE) drivers are supported, and PaperStream Capture and PaperStream ClickScan are supplied for scanning workflows.
