Easy Scan

Scanning by a single touch. After the user taps this action, the page is immediately scanned to a predefined destination. You can define multiple destinations where the scanned document is sent to, and set scan parameters in MyQ.

For information on how to configure the Easy Scan action and define its destinations and parameters, check Easy Scan settings in the MyQ Print Server guide.

  • If enabled on the server, users can change their scan settings from the terminal screen.

  • You can also create new custom parameters to be used in the scan metadata, or as parts of file names, addresses, subjects and email bodies, and as paths to folders, passwords to folders etc. You can find further details in Create custom parameters on the MyQ Print Server guide.

  • OCR (Optical Character Recognition) can be used with Easy Scan, by creating OCR profiles and enabling users to select them on the embedded terminal. You can find further details in OCR on the MyQ Print Server guide.

Logging out while scanning

  1. Ricoh does not allow users to log out when a scanning or copying job is running.

  2. When the user tries to log out, the scan job must be cancelled or finished first.

  3. The same is true when a device error (like paper jam) occurs; the device error must be fixed first, the scan job cancelled or finished, and only then can the user log out.

  4. In such cases, the following is displayed on the terminal’s screen, in red: Before logging out, resolve the errors below.

  5. The screen also displays a list of jobs along with their errors that need to be resolved first.

  6. To resolve the error, one has to tap on the error message, and then tap on the Stop button (located in the right-bottom corner).

  7. The user must not tap on the Stop button sooner nor later, and nothing should be tapped in-between.

  8. Once the Stop button is tapped, follow the related instructions on the screen, for example, confirm cancelling the job.

  9. Once the job is cancelled, the user can log out.

  10. See the below video with an example of an error, how to stop the job, and then log out.
