Primary computer
The system hardware requirements for the computer that the RICOH ProcessDirector base product (and most features) is installed on are:
- A computer that can run one of these operating systems:
- Windows Server 2019 64-bit
- Windows Server 2022 64-bit
- 200 GB free hard-drive space on the same drive that RICOH ProcessDirector is installed on.
- Minimum of 8 GB available RAM is required.
Significantly more available RAM is required for high system loads. Large jobs, many jobs, jobs with many documents, workflow steps that run in parallel, and memory-intensive external programs all increase system loads.
- Important:
- A minimum of 16 GB available RAM is required if 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 additional RAM or free hard-drive space.
- A minimum of 16 GB available RAM is required if you are using one or more document
processing features, for example:
The features listed below have additional hardware requirements. These requirements are added to the requirements listed for the primary computer; they do not replace those requirements.
- Advanced Transform feature
- Minimum 3 GB additional free hard-drive space on the same drive that RICOH ProcessDirector is installed on.
- Note:
- Large jobs may require additional RAM to process efficiently.
- Minimum 3 GB additional free hard-drive space on the same drive that RICOH ProcessDirector is installed on.
- RICOH Transform features
- Note:
- These requirements apply only to the RICOH Transform features (such as, PostScript/PDF to AFP and Ricoh PCL to AFP), not to the Advanced Transform feature.
- Minimum of an additional 10 GB free hard-drive space.
- An extra 1 GB RAM for every CPU core, but no less than 4 GB.
For example, if the computer has:
- One dual-core processor, it must have an extra 4 GB RAM.
- Two quad-core processors, it must have an extra 8 GB RAM.
- Three quad-core processors, it must have an extra 12 GB RAM.
- Four quad-core processors, it must have an extra 16 GB RAM.
