RSTi

RSTi, also known as RST-i, is a technology developed by Ricoh that enables efficient and secure printing workflows. It is primarily used in enterprise environments to enhance document management and output control. RSTi allows for the integration of Ricoh's multifunction printers (MFPs) with various backend systems, including document management systems, enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, and accounting applications.

The core functionality of RSTi revolves around providing intelligent device management and application integration. It facilitates features such as secure print release, where users can authenticate at any enabled MFP to retrieve their print jobs, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive documents. Additionally, RSTi supports cost control measures by tracking print usage and enabling chargeback or departmental accounting.

RSTi also plays a role in automating document workflows. It can be configured to scan documents and automatically route them to designated digital repositories or trigger business processes based on document content. This streamlines operations and reduces manual handling. The technology is designed to be flexible, allowing organizations to customize print policies and integrate with existing IT infrastructures to optimize their document output and management processes.
