RICOH

Print, Scan, Fax, and Copy Workflow

Important

  • Sending/receiving, saving, or expanding files may fail if the smart device enters sleep mode during these operations. Ensure that the smart device will not enter sleep mode during these operations.

  • Due to the specification of the operating system, RICOH Smart Device Connector may quit unexpectedly if you try to display a large-size file on the smart device. If this happens, reduce the size or resolution of the file.

  1. On the menu of RICOH Smart Device Connector, swipe left or right to select [MFP / Printer].

  2. Tap the function you want to use.

  3. Specify the settings according to each function, such as the number of copies, the orientation of the original, or duplex printing.
    Specify [Saving Destination] to use the scanner function. Also, specify [Saving Destination] when directly projecting the scanned image with the projector or on the whiteboard or transmitting the scanned data to those devices.

  4. When using the scanner, fax, or copier function, set the original on the machine.

  5. Check the method used to connect the smart device to the machine.

    • Connect with QR Code
      When using the QR code to connect to the machine, check that [Connect with QR Code] is displayed in the upper part of the screen. If a different message is displayed, tap [], select [Connect with QR Code], and then return the previous screen.

    • Connect with Bluetooth
      When using Bluetooth to connect to the machine, check that [Connect with Bluetooth] is displayed in the upper part of the screen. If a different message is displayed, tap [Application screen illustration], select [Connect with Bluetooth], and then return the previous screen.

    • Connect Machines on Same Network
      When connecting to a machine on the same network, check whether the name of the machine or its registered name is displayed in the upper part of the screen. If a different message is displayed, tap [Application screen illustration], and then select the machine to connect from the list under [Connect Machines on Same Network]. If the machine you want to use is not on the list, tap [Add Machine] and then add the machine by entering its IP address/hostname manually or by searching for the machine. However, you cannot register the machine by specifying its IP address or host name if your smart device is connected to the machine via the Wireless Direct function.

    • Connect with NFC
      If NFC is being used, additional settings must be specified. For details, see the manual for the corresponding device.

      Note

      • Whether NFC, QR code, or Bluetooth is supported depends on the model. For details about supported services, see Supported Machines.
