Ricoh fi-8170 Overview

The FI-8170 Color Duplex Document Scanner from Ricoh offers an innovative and superior scanning experience. Compact and reliable, the scanner achieves scan speeds of 70 ppm/140 ipm (200/300 dpi, color, A4 portrait), loads up to 100 sheets at a time, and comes equipped with a capability of scanning up to as many as 10,000 sheets a day. The scanner supports both USB and LAN connectivity so that it can be used not only near the computer but also in various places under the network environment.

Clear Image Capture (CIC) technology resets the benchmark for high-quality image capture, by combining the reliability and flexibility of Contact Imaging Sensor (CIS) hardware, with an industry-leading, image processor. CIC technology delivers precise, crisp images, and industry-leading OCR accuracy rates while also removing unwanted watermarks and artifacts.
The fi-8170 is built to last and powers up every time you need it regardless of job size. Strong urethane rollers, heavy-duty motors, a sturdy frame, and durable consumables combine for a long-lasting scanner that will let your organization capture the volumes of paper from seasonal peaks and heavy backlogs, worry free.
Evolved paper handling with a large 100-page hopper, an all-wheel drive mechanism, and fast 140 images captured per minute, make the fi-8170 one of the easiest and most efficient scanners to operate. The automatic separation control uses state of the art technology to sense paper weights and adjusts to consistently separate documents and provide the perfect feed, ensuring documents are safely captured.
Choose between PaperStream IP Net for flexible, adaptable capture architectures, and PaperStream NX Manager for centralized, server based capture.
Using PaperStream Clickscan, users can easily capture software for any business. Simple scanning interface with 3-steps: scan, select destination, and save.
With PaperStream Capture, users can take advantage of powerful indexing and sorting features, putting the document in the right location for great organization and fast retrieval. It now includes both 2D and 1D barcode support in the box.
Compatible with all major document management software packages, PaperStream IP (PSIP) is a TWAIN/ISIS compliant driver that cleans up and optimizes scanned images without any configuration.
Combining the new CIS sensor with the GI image processing engine suppresses the occurrence of color shifts. PFU Clear Image Capture produces high definition images for data extraction while keeping power consumption to the minimum and reduces startup times.
Since the scanner identifies the presence of thick plastic cards and labelled or barcoded documents, it excludes multi-feed errors, making simultaneous scanning of cards and paper document possible even when multi-feed detection is ON. Users are able to set documents together and continue scanning without interruption.
The scanner handles various types of documents to enable all scans with a single scanner. The Manual Feed Mode enables reading of copy forms, glued-on documents and bi-folded A3 documents. Passports and booklets up to thicknesses of 7 mm can be read as well, without carrier sheets.
In addition to iSOP Technology that halts scanning heavily-skewed and stapled documents at abnormal noise detection, the Image Monitoring technology acts as a paper protection. A technology that performs real-time image monitoring to keep documents safe when angles exceed the safe range to assist users with accurate and comfortable scanning.
Three sensors accurately detect tips of documents and extend scanning area automatically, ensuring that sufficient margins are secured around the scanned documents. An accurate image data can be generated without defects even when original documents are skewed. Users can save the time to re-scan documents.
For passport and ID card scanning, personal information such as full name, document number, nationality, contained in the MRZ (Machine Readable Zone), can be extracted for efficient entry of customer information.
The scanner supports both USB and LAN connectivity so that it can be used not only near the computer but also in various places under the network environment.
The Stacker Supporter keeps documents in order, even when scanning mixed batches containing small pieces of paper that tend to fly out of the document tray. Scanned documents are easy to retrieve, reducing time spent on post-scan organization.
Equipped with a color LCD panel, users can view status information and select setting configuration more easily. Use of color enables intuitive operation, for reduced human errors.
The scanner is federal government compliant.
Integrated TWAIN & ISIS driver connectivity—works with hundreds of scanning software solutions. Kofax VRS Elite certified.

Ricoh fi-8170 Reviews

Pricey, but worth it

By Jon
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-05-15

I bought the Ricoh fi-8170 to replace an 18 year old Fujitsu fi-5750C. The fi-7700 was $6700, this is a definite alternative if a flatbed isn't needed. Scans really fast, the only downside is you need to constantly pull the sheets off as they've been scanned or they start bunching up and scatter.

Fast and versital

It's super fast and can seemingly scan anything. We have experienced issues with the software. Hardware wise 5 out of 5. Software 3 out of 5.
