Using Two or More Scanners

You can install scanners at two or more sites and share the settings between them.

  • The procedures for setting up the applications and connecting devices in a configuration with multiple scanners are the same as the procedures for a standalone configuration.
  • In a configuration with multiple scanners, set up one of the computers connected to the scanner as the server and the other computers as clients. All values that are obtained when using the Quick Color Adjustment function on a server or client computer, are saved to the server computer and can be viewed on the Management Console page.
  • You can access the server and then manage all printers from a client computer or from another computer in the same network using the web application. For details, see RICOH Auto Color Adjuster: User Guide.
