As I put virtual pen to paper, it’s been four months since I last reviewed a Ricoh desktop scanner. That’s a very short time in the scale of things, Ricoh being a major player in office equipment since 1955. The company actually dates back all the way to 1936, kicking off with sensitized lab paper and going on to make its first camera in 1950. Indeed, Pentax digital cameras still come under the Ricoh umbrella.
Anyway, the desktop scanner in question that I recently reviewed was the Ricoh ScanSnap iX2500, and I was mightily impressed. It’s great for personal and home/small office scanning, complete with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, plus a handy 5-inch color touchscreen.
