The RICOH fi-8170 is a next-generation workgroup scanner designed for organisations that require high-speed document capture, exceptional image quality, and flexible connectivity. As part of the RICOH fi-8000 Series, it combines innovative scanning technology with intelligent automation to support efficient document processing and long-term digital transformation.

Powered by Clear Image Capture technology, the fi-8170 delivers outstanding image quality and industry-leading OCR accuracy for reliable data extraction. Working together with PaperStream IP, scanned images are automatically enhanced and optimised, improving text recognition while reducing file sizes for faster storage and easier document management. The scanner supports a wide variety of media, including paper from 20 to 465 g/m², passports, plastic cards, envelopes, and booklets up to 7 mm thick.

Built for demanding workgroup environments, the fi-8170 features a 100-sheet automatic document feeder and high-speed duplex scanning of up to 70 pages or 140 images per minute. Automatic Separation Control continuously adjusts feeding pressure according to document weight, allowing mixed document batches to be scanned reliably without manual sorting. Image Monitoring technology detects excessive document skew before damage occurs, while Intelligent Sonic Paper Protection (iSOP) and enhanced multi-feed detection help prevent interruptions and protect valuable documents throughout the scanning process.

The fi-8170 also includes advanced productivity features such as Overscan Control, durable urethane rollers for consistent feeding performance, and an ergonomic output stacker that keeps scanned documents neatly organised. USB 3.2 and integrated Gigabit LAN connectivity provide flexible deployment options for individual users or shared workgroup environments, while Scanner Central Admin enables centralised configuration, monitoring, and remote management of multiple scanners.

Supplied with PaperStream IP and PaperStream Capture, the RICOH fi-8170 integrates easily into professional document capture workflows, supporting automated indexing, OCR processing, and workflow integration. With its combination of exceptional image quality, intelligent paper handling, versatile connectivity, and high productivity, the fi-8170 is an ideal solution for administrative departments, financial institutions, healthcare providers, government organisations, and businesses managing demanding document capture workflows.
