Building a Job from Scanned Files

    Important:
  • Depending on the scanner you want to use, you must first install and configure the corresponding RICOH TWAIN driver or the EFI Fiery Remote Scan utility.

    For information on the supported devices, see the Printer Connector Readme file. For information on the driver installation and configuration procedure, see the documentation for your drivers.

  • For Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019, make sure that the Desktop Experience version of the operating system is installed before installing the TWAIN driver.
  • To use the scanner with the EFI Fiery controller option, the Fiery Remote Scan utility is required. The TWAIN driver cannot be used in this case.
  • Make sure that you use a 32-bit version of Fiery Remote Scan. The latest 32-bit version is 6.6.0.60 and is available for download on the Ricoh website. For example, you can go to http://support.ricoh.com/bb/html/dr_ut_e/lan_e/model/eb_32/eb_32en.htm and select a 32-bit link, such as http://support.ricoh.com/bb/html/dr_ut_e/lan_e/model/eb_32/eb_32en.htm#Microsoft%20Windows%2010%20(32-bit).
  • If the orientation of scanned data is not as required, you can rotate the pages using the rotate function provided by TotalFlow Prep. For more information, see Rotating Pages.
