  3. Can I scan to my business line of software, like Sage?  That depends on Sage, if Sage has the capability of using a TWAIN scanning driver, then the answer is yes. The Ricoh MP CW2201SP is unique that it is the only system in it’s class that offers a TWAIN scanning driver.

Additional FAQ’s Ricoh MP CW2201SP

  1. Can I stack multiple wide format drawings and have then scan or copy like my copiers? At this time that would be no, we’re hoping that sometime in the future the Ricoh wide format devices will offer automatic feeding of originals.
  2. One of the items I don’t like about our existing wide format device is that it takes so long to scan. We have to scan each page and then wait for that document to return to me and then scan the next page.  Does the Ricoh MP CW2201SP offer some type of document stacker, meaning once I put the document in I don’t have to babysit it and wait for it to come back to me for removal?  The MP W6700SP is the only wide format system in it’s class that will stack the original documents once they have been scanned.
  3. How about mobile printing, we have many people at a construction site in Middletown, NJ, would they be able to print from their tablet or smart devices?  Yes, that can be accomplished with the addition of Ricoh Cloud Printing.
  4. How many “D” size drawings will the CW2201SP print per minute?  The system will print 3.8 “D” drawings per minute.
  5. Can we scan our color renderings of our home models from our Middlesex County project?  Yup, in fact you can scan from 100-600dpi.

Many architects, construction and engineering companies in New Jersey are currently using the Ricoh CW2201SP for their wide format needs.  In most cases the CW2201SP has a lower lease, purchase & operating costs than toner based devices such as the KIP 7170, KIP 75 series, KIP 890 and OCE Plotwave 345/365 and Oce ColorWave 500.
