Installing required software

Install prerequisite software on all servers.

If you plan to install a Secondary Server feature, you must install a supported Linux operating system on the secondary computer.

If you plan to install an application server on a Windows computer, you must install a supported Windows operating system on the application server computer.

These features require additional software:

• PitStop Connect

  Enfocus PitStop Server 10 or higher on an application server that is configured to work with the primary server.

• FusionPro Connect

  FusionPro Server on an application server that is configured to work with the primary server.

• Ultimate Impostrip® Connect

  Ultimate Impostrip® Automation or Scalable on an application server that is configured to work with the primary server or on a separate Windows system.

  Note:
  • If your Windows computer runs in a language other than English, do not install Ultimate Impostrip® in the default install directory. The program does not work properly with non-English default install paths. We recommend installing Ultimate Impostrip® in C:\ImpostripOnDemand on non-English Windows computers.
• Quadient Inspire Connect

  Quadient Inspire Designer V8 or higher.

• The AFP Support feature includes RICOH Visual Workbench, a separate user interface that you can install on any Linux or Windows system in your network.

  Java 21 or later must be installed on the system that is used for RICOH Visual Workbench.

• The PDF Document Support feature includes RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat, a separate user interface that you can install on a Windows system in your network. Java 1.8 or later and Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020 or DC must be installed on the system that is used for RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat.
• RICOH Transform features

  Java Runtime Environment 1.4 or higher.

  WorldType Fonts version 8.13 for RICOH SAP to AFP files to transform correctly when IS/3 support is enabled.

• Avanti Slingshot Connect

  Avanti Slingshot with the JDF Integration add-on installed on an application server that is configured to work with the primary server.

Other required software:

• A supported web browser

  A browser is required to open the RICOH ProcessDirector user interface, so it is required on any system that is used to access the user interface.

• A PDF viewer

  A PDF viewer is used inside the RICOH ProcessDirector user interface to display the contents of print jobs. It should be installed on any system that is used to access the user interface, but it is not required. If you open the user interface from a computer that does not have a PDF viewer installed, you see an error message if you try to view a job. Using Adobe Reader is recommended as it provides the most functionality.
