GlobalScan NX SDK
The GlobalScan NX SDK has been designed to bring agile development to Ricoh devices. Stemming from the idea of a simple architecture and to minimize the development effort; developers can now create five different types of Plug-ins which will help meet the demands for solutions build on top of GlobalScan NX. The GlobalScan NX harnesses the power of an open standard development environment by using Java as its language for development and XML or Properties for configuration files. Other features included in the GlobalScan NX SDK but not limited to: easy to design UI and tools for development (emulator, access to logging information and etc).
