Printing is a necessity in today's office, and it's no surprise that printers are so common on the desktop. But for any other tasks like copying or scanning, it's a walk to the shared copier. That is until now. The Ricoh IS100e scanner transforms your Ricoh desktop laser printer into a multi-function system, capable of copying or scanning documents and images in both color and black &white. With the Ricoh IS100e, you can copy documents at up to 9 originals per minute in black &white or 1.5 originals per minute in full color, and output them at your printer 's rated speed. Or scan documents into industry-standard file formats, including PDF, JPEG, and TIFF for digital distribution. With its ability to store up to 2, 000 e-mail addresses, as well as 50 different groups, you can distribute documents in a few keystrokes. You can also set up scans to be sent directly to a designated server or folder. Just plug it in! The IS100e integrates seamlessly with your network and the Internet. It connects to your Ricoh printer via a Parallel port and to your Ethernet network through a standard RJ45 Ethernet jack. With support for standards such as SMTP, POP, and MIME - as well as, LDAP and Ricoh GlobalScan - the IS100e is ideal for satellite offices that must share documents with remote sites. The Ricoh IS100e scanner is another Ricoh innovation that enables you to get the most from your investment.
