Convenient, Customizable Interface
The centerpiece of GlobalScan NX Server 5/Server 32/

(GUI) that can be customized to suit your specific needs.

scanning functionality.

keyboard support is offered for Ricoh MFPs.
Adding a layer of indexing to scanned files
by entering metadata, speeds the search and
retrieval of documents after they reach their
destination.

Next-Generation Capabilities
Designed to optimize productivity in all types of
organizations, GlobalScan NX Server 5/Server 32/
Server 750 comes equipped with advanced technology.
• View scanned pages in thumbnail form with Scan Image Preview. This allows
users to verify image integrity and check for errors, reducing the need for rescans.
• Get to work immediately with pre-configured templates. These tailored scanning
workflows are ready to deploy out-of-the-box and address industry-specific
needs for accounts payable, higher education, health care and many more.
• Customize or reconfigure templates to suit highly specific needs with an intuitive
template interface available directly from the MFP’s touchscreen display.
• Avoid downtime and costly delays with the failover feature (optional with
Server 5 and Server 32 configuration). Failover allows a secondary server to
automatically assume control of all delivery responsibilities if the primary server
is unavailable.
Industry-specific templates simplify scanning
workflow, allowing you to initiate complex tasks
immediately after installation.
Advanced Workflow Support
GlobalScan NX Server 5/Server 32/Server 750 offers a full
line of plug-ins designed to accommodate a variety of
workflow requirements.
• Correct imperfections in scanned documents with the Image Enhancement
Plug-in, which comes standard with all three configurations. It automatically
removes hole punch marks, de-skews and de-speckles scanned files to
improve quality.
• Send documents directly to any public or private address stored on a networked
RightFax server with the optional RightFax Plug-in.
• Generate folders and associated information for distribution to Microsoft Office
SharePoint Server 2007/2010 or Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
with the optional SharePoint Plug-in.
• Identify and distribute documents using barcodes with the optional Barcode
Plug-in. This filter reads barcodes in scanned files, enabling highly efficient
management to network folders.
• Convert paper documents to popular formats such as searchable PDF, Microsoft
Word, Excel and Word Perfect with OCR technology.
Check scanned files at a glance with Scan Image
Preview and eliminate the risk of delivering
incorrect or incomplete documents.
Exceptional Security
Multiple security features protect scanned files from
unauthorized viewing or reception, before, during and
after delivery.
• Maximize delivery security with the Kerberos Plug-in (optional with Server 5
and Server 32 configuration), which supports the powerful Kerberos protocol
for authenticating users before initiating send-to-folder and send-to-WebDAV
Services jobs.
• Convert scanned documents to the PDF/A file format and support compliance
for both visual reproduction and the document’s tagged structure.
• Minimize user wait-time with single sign-on. GlobalScan NX Server 5/Server 32/
Server 750 integrates with Card Authentication Package software from Ricoh to
accept network login credentials and eliminate the need to log in again to use
GlobalScan NX.
• Activate 128-bit encryption to protect scanned documents at the MFP.
• Enhance security for all scanned documents. GlobalScan NX Server 5/Server
32/Server 750 does not use the MFP’s hard disk drive for image storage, so no
information remains vulnerable after jobs are completed.
Automatically clean up scanned originals
and improve quality with the standard Image
Enhancement Plug-in.

and enterprise content management (ECM) tools — which helps lower setup costs.

NX Server 5/Server 32/Server 750 verifies indexing data prior to delivery to make sure files reach their intended
destination.

unique application connectors.
