Who is the Ricoh fi-7480 best for?
The Ricoh fi-7480 A3 scanner is most often used by accountants managing financial records, legal teams digitising case files, and offices that regularly handle mixed batches of paperwork.
It can wake from sleep mode (power-saving mode) in a second or less, helping users return to scanning immediately, without pauses or interruptions.
Previously known as the Fujitsu fi-7480, it's the same trusted scanner, now sold under Ricoh branding.
Key Features of the Ricoh fi-7480 A3 Scanner
The Ricoh fi-7480 scanner processes up to 80 A4 landscape pages per minute, or 160 images, when scanning both sides.
Its 100-sheet automatic document feeder keeps larger jobs moving, while the A3 ADF accepts documents from A8 to A3, folded A2 sheets, and long paper up to 5.58 metres, depending on resolution.
Paper protection and double-feed detection help prevent interruptions. It also includes PaperStream IP, which automatically improves scanned images for easier reading and OCR processing, and PaperStream Capture, which helps organise and save document batches.
That includes cleaning up messy backgrounds, removing hole punches, and straightening wonky pages. PaperStream Capture Pro Premium is available separately.

FAQs
Is the fi-7480 an A3 scanner?
Yes, the Ricoh can scan A3 documents, as well as smaller documents like A8.
Can it scan A2 documents?
Yes, but you'll need to fold your A2 documents in half first.
The fi-7480 supports scanning folded A2 documents, letting you capture both sides and combine the images in compatible scanning software.
Is the fi-7480 Mac compatible?
Unfortunately, the fi-7480 doesn't offer native macOS support, so it's not the best option for Mac-based offices.
It's primarily designed for Windows workflows, although Ricoh also lists Ubuntu Linux compatibility.
What warranty and maintenance options are available?
Yes, the fi-7480 comes with a standard one-year manufacturer's warranty, including an advance-exchange service.
If you want a little extra peace of mind, extended warranty and maintenance options are also available to help keep your scanner running smoothly.
How quickly can it be delivered?
We offer next-business-day delivery on qualifying orders placed before 2pm, subject to stock availability.
