RICOH fi-8600
Overview
Capture mixed, fragile, and exception documents at production speeds, with reliable feeding, intelligent processing, and network-ready flexibility
The RICOH fi-8600 is an ADF production scanner designed for high-volume document capture. It scans at up to 100 ppm/200 ipm (A4 landscape, color, 200/300 dpi), while its 300-sheet paper chute supports efficient batch scanning. With support for thin paper, plastic cards, envelopes, and long documents, the fi-8600 helps improve productivity in environments that handle large volumes of diverse documents.
- Straight paper path and Manual Feed Mode for documents of various thicknesses and sizes
- Paper Protection function and Skew Reducer to help prevent document damage and missing image edges
- USB and wired LAN connectivity for flexible deployment
- Easy-to-read color LCDs on both sides for checking scanner status from either side
- Independent Side Guides for easily aligning mixed-size documents
- Optional Post Imprinter for printing information on the back of scanned documents
- PaperStream IP and PaperStream Capture for advanced image processing and batch scanning, with PaperStream Capture Pro Premium available as an optional upgrade
- PaperStream ClickScan, included as standard, for simple three-step ad hoc scanning
Features
High-Speed, Reliable Scanning
Process Large Batches with Fewer Interruptions
The ADF scans at up to 100 ppm/200 ipm, while the paper chute holds up to 300 sheets for efficient batch scanning. Documents can also be added during scanning, helping users process large volumes with fewer interruptions.
Scan Diverse Documents with Stable Feeding
The straight paper path provides stable feeding for documents of various types and conditions. By switching to Manual Feed Mode, users can scan thick documents such as drawings folded in half, multi-layered receipts, and envelopes through the same straight paper path. The ADF also supports long documents, thin paper, and plastic cards.
Protect Important Documents and Reduce Rescanning
The Paper Protection function detects abnormal sounds and paper feed irregularities to help prevent document damage, allowing users to scan important documents with confidence.
Skew Reducer
The Skew Reducer prevents a skewed document from affecting the feeding of subsequent documents. This helps prevent missing image edges and reduces the need to rescan documents.
Flexible Installation and Operation
Expand Placement Options with Wired LAN Connectivity
In addition to USB connectivity, wired LAN support enables more flexible scanner placement. Users can operate the scanner without being constrained by the location of the connected PC, making it easier to adapt the scanner to different workplace environments.
Check Scanner Status from Either Side
Easy-to-read color LCDs are located on both sides of the scanner. They clearly display selected settings, the number of sheets scanned, and error status, making information easy to check regardless of scanner placement.
Reduce Work Before and After Scanning
Easily Align Mixed-Size Documents
Independent Side Guides simplify the alignment of mixed-size documents before scanning, while the Stacker Side Guides keep output documents neatly aligned for easy collection.
Support Document Tracking with the Optional Post Imprinter
The optional Post Imprinter prints information on the back of documents after scanning, supporting document tracking and traceable workflows.
Advanced Software for Efficient Workflows
The fi-8600 includes the PaperStream IP scanner driver and two scanning applications, PaperStream Capture and PaperStream ClickScan, as standard.
Optimize Scanned Images with PaperStream IP
PaperStream IP is a scanner driver that supports both TWAIN and ISIS. It automatically optimizes scanned images for OCR and produces clear images even from documents with patterned backgrounds or documents that are wrinkled or soiled, reducing the need for detailed image-setting adjustments.
Streamline Batch Scanning with PaperStream Capture
PaperStream Capture streamlines tasks such as scanning, file sorting, data organization, and barcode recognition. Barcodes and patch codes can be used to automatically sort scanned files into designated folders, reducing routine manual work.
Complete Ad Hoc Scanning in Three Simple Steps
PaperStream ClickScan allows users to select a filename and save location for each scan through a simple three-step process.
Extend Document Automation with Advanced Software
The optional PaperStream Capture Pro Premium provides advanced data extraction and indexing capabilities, including recognition of printed and handwritten text.
