SP-2230N ADF Scanner

Perfectly balancing quality and affordability

Advanced features and performance combine with excellent value for all types of business

 

The RICOH SP-2230N ADF Scanner combines advanced features and performance with exceptional value for all types of businesses. The SP series now leads its class with a range of enhanced specifications in a compact design perfect for where space is limited. These scanners deliver efficiency and speed for all types of business. The 80-sheet ADF accommodates every document from till receipts and plastic cards to heavy folders and folded A3 documents. There’s no need to pre-sort into separate batches, and paper is protected with image monitoring. It's fast and easy to configure and install, with guided step-by-step set-up.

Market-leading state-of-the-art image quality is built on 50 years of Ricoh engineering experience. For PC-based scanning, the PaperStream IP driver combines with Clear Image Capture technology for crisp, clear images and top-rated OCR accuracy. While Clear Image Capture together with RICOH’s unique next generation ‘iiGA’ System on Chip (SoC) deliver unmatched OCR results for PC-free scanning.

When connected to a PC running next generation PaperStream ClickScan documents can be scanned and sent directly to the cloud with a single touch, no interaction with the PC is required. PaperStream ClickScan also provides ad-hoc scan-then-save creation of editable Word, Excel or PowerPoint documents.

For PC-free operation, the latest and most advanced DirectScan functionality enables multiple users to scan directly to 3 pre-programmed destinations via the buttons on the scanner. Embedded OCR functionality within the iiGA SoC means searchable PDFs can be instantly created without the need for a PC.

Both scanners can also benefit from the world’s most trusted capture software - PaperStream Capture. While an upgrade to Capture Pro offers even more powerful automation, and intelligent form capture - even for handwritten non-cursive text.

Efficient and reliable, these scanners are the perfect solution for everyday business needs.
