PFU Limited has introduced the Ricoh SP‑2240N and Ricoh SP‑2230N: two compact document scanners designed to deliver efficient and reliable digitization for everyday business operations. Built on the proven technology of the Ricoh fi series, the new models offer a solid balance of quality and affordability for organizations of any size, with scan speeds of up to 40 ppm for the SP‑2240N and 30 ppm for the SP‑2230N.
As routine document tasks continue to eat up valuable time, companies are seeking simpler and more efficient ways to digitize information. These scanners are designed to reduce administrative effort and optimize everyday workflows.
Key Features
1. Everyday business workflows simplified by high-quality, high-value scanning.
The scanners simplify routine document tasks by delivering reliable performance that balances affordability with consistent quality, making them ideal for cost-conscious organizations. Designed for everyday daily use, the Paper Protection feature, which includes real-time image monitoring technology, prevents damage to documents and maintains dependable operation for uninterrupted workflows.
Versatile document handling supports standard business documents, plastic cards, and A3 documents folded in half. Its compact design and the 80-page ADF allow teams with heavy workloads to maintain productivity even in offices with limited space.
2. Advanced precision and crisp image quality
Advanced OCR and image processing turn scanned documents into usable data more quickly and with fewer manual corrections, reducing rework and delays in downstream stages. Powered by PFU Clear Image Capture technology, the scanners produce sharp, consistent results that enable faster data extraction and greater operational efficiency.
Intelligent image processing automatically manages adjustments such as paper size detection and automatic rotation, ensuring accurate output regardless of document type or orientation. By reducing errors and unnecessary steps, total processing time is shortened and workflows stay efficient.
3. Fast and straightforward PC-based scanning with intuitive operation
The new scanners offer practical, one-click document scanning. With the enhanced PaperStream ClickScan software, users can scan and save files immediately by selecting “Scan” from the context menu, with straightforward pre-configuration. Users can also start scanning with a single press of the built-in scanner button, making scanning from the PC or directly from the device faster and easier.
4. The new iiGA enables flexible PC-free scanning in shared, multi-user work environments
Powered by the next-generation iiGA System-on-a-Chip (SoC), the enhanced DirectScan function offers fast, intuitive PC-free scanning directly from the device. Even in shared office environments, iiGA maintains high scan speeds while supporting advanced image processing, including automatic orientation.
Destinations such as save locations or email recipients can be assigned to the scanner’s three built-in buttons, enabling one-touch, practical workflows. Scanned files can also be attached directly to emails, allowing teams to digitize and share documents with fewer manual steps. The result is a smooth, efficient, and flexible scanning experience designed for today’s collaborative work environments.
