Features
Essential performance for everyday business
Built for the document workflows businesses handle every day, the RICOH SP-2230 combine reliable performance with the essential functions teams need to stay productive. Scan at speeds of up to 30ppm, with an 80-sheet ADF for efficient batch scanning. Versatile document handling supports standard business documents, plastic cards, and folded A3 documents, while the compact design fits easily into space-limited work environments. Straightforward setup and operation also make it easier to deploy a consistent scanning experience across teams.

High-quality images for more accurate data capture
Turn paper documents into clean, accurate, and usable digital information. Powered by PFU Clear Image Capture technology, the scanners deliver high-quality image data that supports accurate OCR and faster data extraction, helping reduce manual corrections and rework. Intelligent image processing, including automatic paper size detection and automatic rotation, optimises scanned images automatically across different document types and orientations. Better input quality means fewer manual interventions and smoother downstream processing.

Simple scanning, seamless digitisation
Make everyday digitisation fast and intuitive with PaperStream ClickScan. Users can start scanning directly from a right-click menu or with a single press of the scanner's on-device button, making routine tasks simple for users of all experience levels. Seamless integration with the PaperStream series takes digitisation beyond scanning, connecting image enhancement and data extraction with downstream business processes. This creates a more streamlined document workflow and helps businesses maximise the value of every scanned document.

Environmentally Conscious Design
Recycled plastic is over 25% of the main unit's resin weight. We also use recycled plastics* and pulp molds for packaging and cushioning materials when transporting products, achieving zero use of virgin plastics derived from fossil resources. These contribute to reducing plastic waste.
*Pre-consumer materials, which have not been used by consumers and are generated during the manufacturing and molding processes, are used.
