Hi Speed Scanning to Email

Our color copier and printer, the Ricoh Aficio 2500, offers an extremely easy way for patrons to scan and email documents. Because it has a built in document feeder, its particularly useful when patrons want to scan multiple pages. Using the feature is actually quite simple, just follow these few steps:


  1. Start by pressing the rectangular button to the left of the display screen labeled "Scanner."
  2. On the display screen find the button labeled "Manual Entry" and press this. The display switches to "qwerty" style keyboard. Note the @ symbol is in the lower right corner.
  3. Enter the email address, and then press the "OK" button at the top of the screen. The display will now switch back to the Scanner display.
  4. If you have a batch of documents, load them into the document feeder and press Start.
  5. Or if you have just a few odd shaped documents, place them on the glass and hit Start for each document. Press the "#" button located to the right of the display screen after all documents have been scanned.
  6. That's it! You might expect to get a message saying "Your Email has been sent," but this isn't the way it works. The email is sent as soon as you hit the Start button.
  7. Play around with some of the other features. You can specify a subject, add a few lines of text, even change who the email is coming from, since by default the email will appear as being sent by the Ricoh 2500. So for example you can set the sender to be patron@gmail.com or some such email account.
