Principal Machine Functions
Copier Activates the scanning engine, which reads the original and then sends the data
on to the controller to be printed out from the printing engine. Secondary data,
such as that used for access control, is handled from the operation panel.
Printer Receives image data through the host interface, which then sends the data to the
controller. Also contains a printer language processing subsystem (e.g. RPCS)
that converts the printer language into image data, which is then printed out from
the printing engine. Secondary data is handled via the connection protocols
between the driver UI and the host I/F.
Scanner Activates the scanning engine, which reads the original and then sends the data
to a PC via the host I/F. Scanning can be initiated from both the operation panel
and from a PC via a TWAIN driver.
FAX Activates the scanning engine, which reads the original and then sends the data
to the FCU to be sent as a FAX via a telecommunications line. Also receives FAX
data and prints it out from the printing engine.
Netfile
(GWWS)
As a server, GWWS provides some MFP/LP functionality to specific
network-connected PC utilities. This includes the ability to view and make
changes to user information and machine configuration settings, as well as to print
out or perform other operations on documents stored on the MFP/LP. GWWS also
acts as a client to external Web services, including transferring the machine log
data to specific log data collection utilities
WebSys Controls Web-based access to the MFP/LP and allows machine configuration
settings to be viewed and changed via a Web interface.
WebDocBox Allows operations to be peformed on Document Server documents stored in the
MFP (viewing, downloading, printing, deleting) via a Web interface.
SDK/VAS SDK: Applications provided by third-party vendors designed to function with
MFP/LP pricipal machine functions developed by Ricoh.
VAS: An MFP/LP API that standardizes the meanings of simplified commands
used by SDK applications when communicating with the MFP/LP.
EAC The module which controls the serial command flow of the external controller
connected via the VideoLink Board, making it possible for the external controller
to initiate MFP operations such as print jobs, as well as the storage, deletion, and
capturing of Document Server documents. In addition, this module also controls
the display content of the MFP LCD for each operation initiated by the controller.
Note: This is only available on models capable of supporting an external
controller.
