RICOH fi-8950 Image Scanner

Changing the rules for high volume scanning

The performance, resilience and useability to optimise productivity for high volume scanning environments

 

    • 150ppm & 750 sheet ADF
    • State-of-the-art paper protection
    • U-turn or straight-through path
    • Easily transportable at 23kg

 

The RICOH fi-8950 Image Scanner offers you the performance, reliability, and usability to maximise productivity. The result? A highly flexible, resilient and cost-effective scanning operation.

The fi-8950 is optimised for heavy-duty environments. With a generous Automatic Document Feeder capacity of 750 and fast 150ppm speed, it is designed to handle continuous scanning of large volumes of documents.

Consistent performance is ensured by high-speed USB 3.2 or Gigabit LAN connectivity, and the fact that its wide 105° opening angle and internal LED lights make it easy to maintain.

Stoppages are avoided and time is saved thanks to state-of-the-art paper protection features such as Stapled Documents Detection and Automatic Skew Correction. The Intelligent Multi-Feed Function also understands when to stop for labels, sticky notes or photos, and when not to.

Many different types of documents can be handled without fuss or interruption because of its two feed paths; the classic U-turn ADF, and the straight-through path which accepts documents up to 1.25mm thick. And mixed batches are no problem thanks to the Automatic Profile Selection feature.

RICOH Image Scanners deliver industry-leading OCR accuracy rates and exceptional image quality. This is achieved through a combination of our unique Clear Image Capture technology, and PaperStream IP driver which also removes noise and optimises file sizes for lower-cost storage.

The RICOH fi-8950 offers a complete package for high volume scanning. The hardware comes with its own PaperStream software, but can be flexibly deployed with any other capture application. It has also been optimised for use with industry-leading PaperStream Capture Pro software. Tiered service plans and fixed-cost consumables and replacement parts offer predictable running costs. Back and front-side post-imprinting options are also available.

Engineered by the world leader in document scanners with decades of market-leading innovation and expertise, the fi-8950 also brings the reassurance of the most trusted scanning solutions on the planet.

The industry-leading solution for high volume scanning environments

 

Optimised for Heavy Duty Environments

 

Fast speeds, large capacity
With a scanning speed of 150ppm and ADF capacities of 750 sheets, this range is designed to handle the continuous scanning of large volumes of documents.

Tough, Durable and Easy to Maintain

Durable, easy-to-maintain construction ensures consistent performance. Internal LED lights switch on automatically the moment the scanner is opened. And a 105° wide opening angle means servicing is quick and efficient. The daily cleaning mode ensures your scanner remains in peak condition.

Reliably Fast Connectivity

Both USB 3.2 and Gigabit LAN options are available - providing high-speed, reliable connectivity and ensuring data can be transferred quickly and accurately.

 

Designed to Maximise Productivity

 

Easily Handles Different Document Types

Incorporating both U-turn and straight-path scanning, many different document types can be handled without fuss or delay. Even documents up to 1.25mm in thickness can be accommodated via the straight-through path scanning option.

Industry-leading Paper Protection Technology

Costly delays and potential damage are avoided thanks to industry-leading paper protection features such as Stapled Documents Detection. In addition, Automatic Skew Correction ensures uninterrupted, consistent feeding, even when documents are loaded at an angle.

Intelligent Multi-Feed Function

The intelligent Multi-Feed Function (iMFF) assesses and understands both when to stop for stickers or photos attached to documents, and when to ignore them and continue the scan.

Eliminate Mixed Batch Preparation

The Automatic Profile Selection feature can also eliminate the time and effort needed to sort batches into different document types, by automatically applying the correct scan profile to recognised forms.

Reduce Post-Scan Effort

Enhanced paper ejection and stacking control ensure scanned documents are neatly stacked and ready to be lifted from the tray with ease.

Industry Leading OCR Accuracy

RICOH’s unique Clear Image Capture technology delivers industry-leading OCR accuracy rates and exceptional image quality.

Optimised File Sizes for Low-Cost Storage

RICOH’s PaperStream IP driver supplied with every scanner removes noise and optimises file sizes for lower-cost storage.

Ergonomic Design

Ergonomic operator-centric design means control buttons are easy to access and the instrument panel is angled towards the user for greater efficiency. At 23kg in weight and with comfortable hand grips, these scanners are designed to be easily transportable.

 

A Complete Package for High Volume Scanning

 

Capture Software Flexibility

The range has been developed so that it can be deployed with greater flexibility across the operation. All scanners are supplied with PaperStream Software, including the PaperStream IP driver, PaperStream ClickScan and PaperStream Capture. They can also be used with any of the leading alternative capture software packages. And specifically, these scanners have been optimised to work with the industry leading PaperStream Capture Pro, premium multi-station software option.

Predictable Running Costs

Keep control of running costs with tiered service plans and fixed cost consumables and replacement parts to match your operational budget.

Post-Imprinting Options

To help track and manage documents, post-imprinting options for date, time and index numbers are available for back or front-side printing.
