Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Does the Ricoh IS420 capture documents in full color?
  No. The IS420 is an industrial monochrome scanner specifically built for rapid archiving and optical character recognition (OCR) processing. It delivers highly accurate grayscale and black and white images, making it perfect for law offices and archiving institutions.
• What system interface architecture does this production scanner require?
  The IS420 scanner utilizes standard Ultra SCSI (SCSI-2) interface terminal connections. Connecting the unit to modern desktop computers usually requires installing a dedicated PCI/PCIe-to-SCSI host adapter card inside your workstation tower.
• How does this machine handle low-contrast documents or faded text?
  The system includes an integrated hardware-based dynamic thresholding image core. It automatically adjusts brightness and background contrast on the fly, digitally cleaning up smudges or pencil lines to deliver high-contrast text that is optimized for electronic file sorting.
