Pick this if...
- You scan 5,000-15,000+ pages a day with a steady mix of A3, A2, and A1 originals — engineering, GIS, medical imaging, large legal cases.
- You need 80 ppm / 160 ipm duplex (A4 landscape) without buying a true production scanner that takes a service tech to install.
- You scan mixed-thickness batches all day (27-413 gsm) — iSOP, Skew Reducer, and brake roller handle them without sorting.
- You need to sustain heavy daily volume — the fi-7480 is rated 24,000 sheets/day vs the 7460's 18,000.
- You're standardizing on Ricoh fi-7000 series and want the fastest A3 model that shares parts and PaperStream profiles with the rest of the fleet.
