RICOH fi-8170 Professional High Speed Color Duplex Document Scanner - Network EnabledEPEAT

Owned for a month. I had my computer tech download the driver or whatever it took to get it operational so I can't say how hard it is to connect to your computer. I had the older version of this that lasted 9 years. One thing about buying from Amazon vs Office Depot is I bought the 4 year warranty. I hope I don't have issues. I'm retiring in 3.5 years.

This was a gift and it’s very loved! Super easy to use and great quality scans. Especially love the auto document feeder!

DO NOT BUY IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A CD ROM. I havent had the chance to even try this scanner yet. I don't have a CD Rom drive. you cannot reach anyone via phone unless you have a serial number and there is NOTHING STAMPED ON THE FRONT, BACK, SIDE, BOTTOM. Their customer service sucks. They asked ME TO CALL BACK so they could reseach. WHAT?? This was a thousand dollars!!! YOU NEED BETTER SERVICE. I dont care how good your product is if your companys service sucks.

Product was great. Windows 11 USB driver not so much. Took some doing to get it setup but not the products fault. Windows....

The media could not be loaded. I got this scanner to use for scanning trading cards (Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, and Disney Lorcana) and am extremely pleased with the speed, accuracy, and gentle handling of the cards.So far no issues at all!

It says it should support Win7, but kind of does.. but not with manufacturers help. The drivers will install, the software from the CDROM does not. Manually you can go inside and setup PaperStream Capture, by by-passing the Primary Installshield Setup program associated with autorun.. that just gives no feedback and doesn't install anything except the driver. The PaperStream Capture program will install and work, but the PaperStream ClickScan will not install saying its incompatible with Win7. From what I can tell its how they created the Install package and not the software product. The developers of the software PaperStream Clickscan simply both said Win7 "supported" and never "tested" their isntall package which has a Block on install for anything less than Win10.. not sure if 8.1 will work. TWAIN support is nice, 32 and 64 bit which is why people seek out a true Fujitsu/Ricoh scanner. Bazillion new and old programs will work with it. The Feed Rollers use a new technology that is not supposed to go "gummy" after a year or two.. looking forwards to that.
