The RICOH fi-8700 combines a high-speed duplex production ADF with an A3 flatbed in one scanner. It handles standard business documents as well as bound, fragile, oversized and irregular items, with no complex workarounds and no second device.
The ADF scans at up to 100 ppm / 200 ipm (A4 landscape, 200/300 dpi) with a 300-sheet hopper and continuous feeding. When a document won’t go through the feeder, the flatbed captures an A4 page in just 0.6 seconds (landscape, 200/300 dpi) and an A3 page in 1.2 seconds. Timer Scan automatically scans at fixed intervals, which suits bound documents. Multi-Crop captures several items in a single scan as separate image files.
The ADF can slide left and right and rotate 180 degrees, so you can load comfortably from either side and place the scanner where it suits your workspace. The fi-8700 is the only model in the range with a three-CCD sensor and flatbed lighting, for strong imaging across both scanning modes.
