Advanced Capture Solution
Make print output more productive and affordable
You’ve always controlled the content of your message. Now you can control where it goes, how quickly it
gets there and even how much it costs. Use Nuance Output Manager from RICOH to simplify how you
deliver business-critical information from multiple platforms — including ERP, EHR and SAP/IBM line of business
applications — to print destinations. The software seamlessly transforms and delivers print streams from line of
business systems to production, front- or back-office printers. And whether printing originates from a Windows based application, or is output from mainframes, host, UNIX or AS/400 systems — Nuance Output Manager will
capture the data and convert to the print stream suitable for the destination printer. Or, convert the print stream
to PDF to be delivered electronically to users or applications.

With Nuance Output Manager, you can control enterprise output from multiple sources through an integrated, scalable
print management solution, so you can encourage more responsible, efficient, secure and affordable printing workflow
and delivery.
Transform accountability into profitability
Authenticate users before printing
Printed material is meant to be shared — but not with everyone.
With Nuance Output Manager, information is held until users,
entering a password or PIN or using a smart identity card, release
it at the output device. With this feature, documents never lie
unattended in output trays. Once a user is authenticated, you
can track print behaviors — and even set up chargebacks when
necessary to allocate print costs to specific groups in your
organization. Mobile workers simply have to scan the QR code
attached to the printer using their personal iOS or Android mobile
device to release jobs.

Print by your own rules
Printing is as easy as pushing a button. With Nuance Output
Manager, you’ll find it’s just as easy to encourage specific print
behaviors that improve reliability and reduce costs. Printing a
full-color sales document? Set print rules so color output is
routed automatically to the nearest color printer with the lowest
cost-per-page. Or, you can prohibit it entirely if the group prints
almost entirely in black text. Need multiple copies of a 150-page
proposal? Prohibit printing to desktop devices and send it to a
high-speed production printer with automatic duplexing for faster,
more affordable output. Is the primary printer inoperable? You
can identify a backup device, so jobs are sent there without delay
for uninterrupted printing that keeps information moving and your
workforce active.

Stop problems before they stop you
Why wait until after there’s a problem to fix your devices? Use
Nuance Output Manager to monitor devices in real time, so you
can expedite maintenance and minimize IT involvement. Receive
automated alerts about low supplies, interrupted jobs and other
issues and take advantage of real-time statistical displays to
make faster, smarter decisions that can keep devices running and
information moving through your organization. You can also track
every printed page from every user in every location to monitor
usage and print behaviors. That way you can search for devices that
are underworked or overused and reassign print jobs to balance
output and minimize queues. Or, you can put restrictions on certain
users and functions if you discover they’re printing excessively. You
can even run reports to track environmental savings.

Customize output to help increase cost savings
You have a wide range of output devices in your organization. But they may be used as if they’re the same. Why? Using
a desktop printer for your large projects is cost-prohibitive. Likewise, a production printer isn’t necessary to print two
pages of notes from a meeting. That’s why you should choose which printers are best for you. More importantly, you
should choose which Nuance Output Manager package — Office, Enterprise or Production — works with the printers
in your fleet. Each is customizable to accommodate the specific challenges in your print environment.
Use one print driver to eliminate multiple headaches
You have dozens or even hundreds of Ricoh devices across your network. Now, you can help make all of them run
with less downtime for less cost, whether they’re connected to local, remote or legacy host environments. With Nuance
Output Manager’s Universal PostScript driver, you can merge office and data center applications into a single workflow
to simplify administration tasks. Now you can monitor every device in your fleet from a centralized location. Plus, you
only have to learn how to use one driver. In addition to freeing up IT resources, it allows you to spend time on other
issues, especially revenue-generating tasks that can directly improve your bottom line.
