Unified Client for Ricoh Smart Operation Panel features

Unified Client for Ricoh Smart Operation Panel supports the following features:

Authentication
Requires users to enter valid authentication information to unlock the MFP functions. Users can enter their authentication data via the MFP panel, or by using a valid authentication card (when authentication cards are implemented).
Follow-You Printing®
After successfully logging in at the MFP, the user can access the virtual print queue to "pull" a print job to this device. Through the Follow-You screen on the MFP, users can see a list of documents in the queue, then select, delete, or release documents for printing. See Using Follow-You Printing or end-user instructions.
Scan-to-Me®
Allows users to scan a document and email it to their own address, and optionally to other addresses via the CC field (if enabled). Users can specify scan options (for example: duplex, color, size) and document format prior to initiating a scan. See Scanning for end-user instructions.
Capture and Send capability
Allows SOP to use third-party applications to scan to multiple scan destinations through the Scan Processing Engine (SPE). Currently, SOP allows SharePoint (Teamsite) to scan to a web-based location, and RightFax to scan directly to a Fax number.
Card self-registration
Allows users to associate an unassigned card with their user credentials. Once associated, each time the user swipes the card, the system automatically recognizes the card and associated user.
Billing Code support
Users can change their jobs to a particular code, and the Equitrac Office/Express database tracks the characteristics of jobs changed to the code. Billing codes must be enabled on the Equitrac server.
Campus card support
When enabled on the Equitrac Express server, campus card payment systems including Blackboard UNIX, Blackboard Windows, and CBord Retail Transaction Interface. At the MFP, users can authorize themselves as valid campus card account holders, make copies, release jobs, and pay for these services in real time, directly from their campus card account.
Offline operation
In the event that SOP fails to connect to the Equitrac DCE service, you can configure SOP to continue the MFP lock down, allowing users to authenticate based on account information stored in local MFP cache. SOP gathers job data in local cache, and forwards the accounting details to the DCE service when it is back online.
Integration with third party applications
SOP tracks job details generated from supported third-party applications. Currently, the third-party applications supported for scan are SharePoint, RightFax, and GlobalScan NX.
Support for multiple DCE servers
You can designate up to four different DCE servers - one primary, and up to three backup servers. We recommend that the primary DCE is located on-site to allow for the fastest possible data transfer. Other DCE servers can be located off-site.
