Downloading Document Server Files to the PC (MFP models only)
• From DeskTopBinder or Desk Top Editor for Production, it is possible to download full images
stored on the MFP HDD. Netfile loads the requested image data stored in the HDD via the MCS,
and then sends it to the PC via the NCS. Since documents created using the Copier and Printer
functions are saved to the HDD in a Ricoh-original data format, the File Format Converter is
necessary to convert the data into a commonly used data format (JPEG, JPEG2000, TIFF or PDF).
To do this, the IMH uses its own internal modules in tandem with the File Format Converter. For
models that have a DESS module, it is possible to download images as encrypted PDF data.
Note: A similar data flow is used when Document Server files or Copier/Document Server print
backup files are captured.
Printing out Document Server Documents (MFP models only)
• When printing out documents stored in the MFP from DeskTopBinder or Desk Top Editor For
Production, Netfile sends the printing command to the ECS. Working in tandem with the IMH, the
ECS then loads the specified document out of HDD memory and sends it along to the printing
engine for printing out.
Transmitting FAX Document Server Files (MFP models only)
• When the MFP receives instructions from DeskTopBinder or Desk Top Editor for Production to
transmit a file that was stored to the HDD using the FAX function, Netfile sends the FAX
transmission command for the specified file to the FCS. Working in tandem with the IMH, the FCS
then loads the specified document out of HDD memory and sends it along to the FCU for FAX
transmission.
Downloading FAX Reception Documents to the PC (MFP models only)
• Netfile loads the image data out of HDD memory via the MCS, after which the data is sent to the PC
via the NCS.
Forwarding Stored Scanner Documents (MFP models only)
• When the MFP receives instructions from DeskTopBinder or Desk Top Editor for Production to
forward a Scanner document, Netfile sends a forwarding command for the specified file to the DCS.
Working in tandem with the MCS and IMH, the DCS then loads the specified document out of HDD
memory and sends it along to the PC. The transmission protocols used are FTP, HTTP and
HTTPS.
