Maximize device uptime with a suite of RICOH Intelligent Support tools.

Get instant access to customer service and support with RICOH Intelligent Support — a collection of intelligent tools, apps and services1 that help your business stay productive with continuous support. Real-time remote service, automated updates, alerts and self-help tools provide a number of options for troubleshooting your multifunction printer (MFP) or printer to keep print, scan, copy and fax processes running smoothly and efficiently.

Remote Device Support

Increase productivity with fewer interruptions.

Tap into real-time remote service with RemoteConnect Support that gives your Lanier service expert direct access to your device's Smart Operation Panel (SOP)2 for quick diagnosis and resolution. By reducing the need for onsite service calls, you can minimize disruption to your team’s workflows. RemoteConnect Support is perfect for a variety of businesses — letting you enjoy instant support without the expense of an internal help desk.

IT managers at large enterprises can use the Remote Panel Operation tool to access their fleet of devices utilizing an intuitive web-based user interface3 — letting in-house help desk support staff resolve issues quickly and easily over the company network. You can also use this feature to expedite end-user training or assist users with programming function settings.

When an onsite service call is necessary, the Advanced Remote Mobile System (ARMS) provides your Lanier service engineer with remote access to your device’s information — including error history, PM counters, firmware version history and basic machine information — increasing the likelihood of a first-time fix and helping to extend the life of your device, saving you valuable time while increasing your return on investment.

​Automated Device Updates & Alerts

Maximize MFP/printer uptime

Easily manage your MFP or printer with Automated Device Updates & Alerts — these features include three functions that help you maintain your device and reduce downtime.

Replace toner before it's depleted with Low Toner Notifications — set it up to automatically alert you via email when toner levels drop to a specified amount, helping to ensure you always have enough toner to finish those critical and time-sensitive jobs.

Plus, you can set the service call notification to automatically send an email alert when your device experiences a technical issue. The service call notification also provides your service engineer with advanced information, helping to limit the time needed to service your machine.

To help keep you up and running, the Automatic Remote Firmware Update feature automatically updates your device with the latest firmware, helping to optimize your machine for maximum efficiency. Now, there’s no need to wait for technicians to make onsite service calls to update machines, saving you time with fewer interruptions. Plus, this feature automatically downloads the latest security patches for extra protection.

Self-Help

Simplify troubleshooting and managing your device

Resolve issues with ease by accessing our video library on the SOP via the How-to Videos feature. To troubleshoot issues even faster, the Web Help and User Guide feature provides quick access to information about MFP and printer functions with easy-to-follow instructions on how to diagnose and resolve issues. Use Web Help to access our Global Knowledge Base4 FAQs — this online tool will only display the pertinent questions for the function you’re currently using. You can also send this information to your smart device to add the convenience of following instructions while performing the operations simultaneously.

Manage your device easily by using the SendMeter App that lets you send information from the meter via automatic email. You’ll get fast and precise meter readings to help reduce billing errors and control costs. To save even more time, you can schedule readings to be sent to multiple email addresses instantly at scheduled intervals. The SendMeter App can be quickly configured to your desired email destinations and accessed through a convenient icon right on your device’s SOP.

Service Request App

Place the power of MFP support at your fingertips.

 

Easily troubleshoot errors and submit a service request directly from your SOP with the Service Request App — you’ll see the device status on the screen as soon as you open the application, helping you get a head start on resolving issues. You can also link to our Global Knowledge Base for valuable information to help with troubleshooting. Plus, by submitting a service request from your SOP, you can provide your service engineer with advanced information to help cut down on visit time — and help to increase your uptime even more.
