Verifying feature prerequisites

Before you install a new feature, make sure your system meets the minimum requirements.
  • Hardware requirements:
    • If you install the PDF Document Support feature, the RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat must run on a Windows computer. See RICOH ProcessDirector: Installing Document Processing Features, G550-20312, for hardware requirements.
  • Other hardware requirements:
    • A minimum of 16 GB available RAM is required when you are using one or more document processing features, for example:
      • AFP Support
      • PDF Document Support
      • Archive
      • Automated Verification
      • Inserter
      • Postal Enablement
      • Preference Management

      Depending on the number of documents you process, you might need more RAM or free hard-drive space.

    • The RICOH ProcessDirector/opt file system:
      • Recommended size: 50 GB free space
      • Minimum size: 45 GB free space
    • The following features have more hardware requirements. These requirements are added to the requirements listed for the primary computer; they do not replace those requirements.
      • Advanced Transform feature
        • Minimum 1 GB more free hard-drive space allocated to the RICOH ProcessDirector/opt file system
        • Minimum 2 GB more free hard-drive space allocated to the /aiw/aiw1 file system
            Note:
          • Large jobs sometimes require more RAM to process efficiently.
      • See Preparing to install Ricoh Transform features for the RICOH Transform features minimum system requirements.
