Ricoh fi-8170
Score: 85/100Rankings
The Epson DS-530 II is a high-speed, sheet-fed duplex scanner offering 35 ppm speed, a 50-sheet ADF and a 3-year warranty. It lacks wireless connectivity and advanced UI features, which may be a drawback for modern office environments. Best suited for businesses that prioritize speed, durability and low weight over networked convenience.
The Ricoh fi-8170 is a professional-grade color duplex scanner delivering 70 ppm simplex and 140 ipm duplex speeds with a 100-sheet ADF and network connectivity. Its lack of wireless options and a fixed 600 dpi optical resolution limit flexibility for some users. Best suited for high-volume office environments that need reliable, fast scanning and wired network integration.
