Can we print using the standard WI-FI connection in a machine equipped with smart panel or we need to buy the wifi option for GW controller. thank you for your support.

The WiFi option for the GW controller is an inadequate, over priced POS. You should be able to get a WiFi range extender such as Netgear WN3000RP for under $50. If you additional Ethernet connections near the MFP, you can add a work group switch.

There was a confusion between the wifi option on a MP C2504EXsp. On the sales guide it is stated that the wifi is standard so the customer is asking if he can use the wifi from android system to print. Could you please enlighten me with this. Thanks in advance.

The wi-fi for the android panel is only for the panel. You are not able to use it to print. (i know this from experience)

You will need either the wi-fi option from ricoh (yes, it is a POS) or an external wi-fi device like mr, slimslob suggested

Printing through the SOP is primarily for use from a mobile device. The WiFi that is internal to the SOP is, like the Bluetooth, very short range. You need to be standing right next to the MFP in order to use it. The best way to consistently print from a mobile device is to connect to the WiFi on the local network. Use whatever is the current Ricoh APP to connect and print.

Yes you can print to the device using the inbuilt wifi in the SOP i've set a few up like this without any issues, range hasn't been an issue for me however with no external aerial it wont be as good as the option card that goes in the machine.

Yes, by default the SOP wifi is off, simply turn it on, then it will search all WIFI devices in range, choose your router then enter the WAP ket etc & it will connect. Then simply install it as you would if connected via LAN.

User tools, screen features, turn on wifi, interface settings & choose wifi connection.

You can also set it up via the WIM on the '04 range of machines.

Hi everyone!!

One question...............can you scan to email via wifi on the SOP?? I set the connectrion on static IP and gave two DNS but still not working to scan. Do it has to be via ethernet cable to scan?? Thanks!!

Nope you can not scan only print, the scan app will only send via the LAN (unless you fit the optional wifi kit)

You should be able to scan to your mobile using the Ricoh app and then email it from your mobile.
