How to capture at the printer

These are generic instructions. For vendor-specific instructions, see: HP, Konica Minolta, Kyocera, or Ricoh.

The capture process consists of three steps:

  • Scan and upload

    As soon as the document is scanned and uploaded, you are returned to the list of workflows, while the processing and delivery continue in the background.

  • Processing

    The scanned document is processed by Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and a searchable PDF or Microsoft Word file is created.

  • Delivery

    The document is sent in email, transferred to a cloud destination (OneDrive or SharePoint), or transferred to a Connector destination.

  1. Sign in to the printer.
  2. Select the Printix Capture icon.

    Printer home page

    A list of capture workflows appears.

  3. Select the appropriate workflow.

    If you are signed in with the System manager role, the Active information (Yes or No) is displayed.

  4. Confirm the details of the workflow and place the document in the printer:

    • Place multi-page documents in the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF).

      Ensure pages are in the correct order.

    • Place one-page documents on the printer's flatbed glass.

      Scanning multiple pages from the flatbed glass is not supported.

    • If you do not want to start the scan, select X to cancel and return to the list of workflows.

    • On Ricoh, you cannot log out from the printer while the printer is scanning.

    • As soon as the document is scanned and uploaded, you are returned to the list of workflows, while the processing and delivery continue in the background.
