Ricoh fi-800R PA03795-B005 Duplex Document Scanner

Ricoh fi-800R duplex document scanner

The Ricoh fi-800R is a colour duplex document scanner built for offices that need fast, two-sided capture in a small footprint. It uses dual CIS sensors with RGB LED illumination to scan at 40 ppm simplex or 80 ipm duplex at 200/300 dpi. A 20-sheet ADF handles standard paper weights while the manual feed accepts items up to 5 mm thick such as passports and ID cards. USB 3.2 Gen1 connectivity supports Windows desktops and servers from Windows 7 through Windows Server 2019.

Upgrade from single-sided or slower ADF units

This scanner replaces single-sided sheet-fed models or slower duplex devices when batch throughput matters. The jump is worth it if your daily volume exceeds what a 20-page ADF can absorb in one load and you need both sides captured in a single pass without re-feeding. It also supersedes flatbed-only workflows for thick media because the straight-through path accommodates rigid cards up to 5 mm. Buyers who need higher hopper capacity or network-attached scanning without a host PC should look elsewhere.

Desktop setup with USB 3.2 Gen1

Installation consists of connecting the AC adapter, linking the supplied USB cable to a Windows host, and running the driver package from the included DVD-ROM. The unit draws 17 W while operating and 1.7 W in sleep mode, so no external power brick beyond the supplied adapter is required. Common issues include driver conflicts on older Windows Server releases and paper skew when the ADF guides are not snug against narrow media; the active skew correction and automatic stacking control reduce but do not eliminate these events.
