GlobalScan, also called GlobalScan Server Software, turns a Ricoh Multifunctional Product (MFP) into a network scanner, enabling the system to serve as an enterprise-wide digital document routing system. The user simply scans documents from the control panel of the MFP directly to e-mail or to a folder. In addition, the user can perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR), fax and Document/Content Management System functions via optional Frameworks. This powerful, yet easy-to-use, paper document capture and distribution system integrates with an existing mail infrastructure to significantly boost workgroup productivity by combining e-mail functionality within an accessible copier platform. Most importantly, dramatic cost efficiencies are gained by speeding throughput of common business transactions that may otherwise require slower and more costly methods of communication.
Yes. Through the GlobalScan Software Development Kit (SDK), Developers can create middleware to integrate with Document/Content Management Systems.
The GlobalScan SDK is a programming package that enables developers to design middleware to Ricoh hardware and software, using common development languages (C++, Visual Basic) and methods.\
The comprehensive GlobalScan SDK includes the following:
The GlobalScan SDK is available through Premier Plus Membership of the Ricoh Developer Program.
The system requirements for MFPs running a GlobalScan Plug-in are as follows:
