Issue
How to set the Kofax Ricoh MFP Client to scan in Duplex mode by default
Cause
The Ricoh Smart Operation Panel (Android) SDK and the Ricoh SDK/Java utilize a file with the .dalp extension to define many aspects of third-party clients, including default scan settings when using the client. These settings override the device's own default scan settings.
Solution
The default Sides setting can be set by editing the .dalp file for the Kofax Ricoh MFP Client:
To set the default to Duplex in the Kofax Ricoh Smart Operation Panel (Android) Client:
- Navigate to the KTA Designer's or KFS Administration Console's Devices screen
- Click
Download
- Select
Ricoh
in the Manufacturer field and click the checkmark icon to download the Ricoh Clients.
- Unzip the downloaded
ricoh.zip
package
- Unzip the
ricoh-smart-operation-panel.zip
package
- Open
KofaxRicohAndroid.dalp
in a text editor such as Notepad
- Locate the default_side argument
<!-- #OPTIONAL# set default side, one of ONE_SIDE|TOP_TO_TOP|TOP_TO_BOTTOM--> <argument>-default_side ONE_SIDE</argument>
- Set the default_side argument value to
TOP_TO_TOP
<!-- #OPTIONAL# set default side, one of ONE_SIDE|TOP_TO_TOP|TOP_TO_BOTTOM--> <argument>-default_side TOP_TO_TOP</argument>
- Save the change to KofaxRicohAndroid.dalp
- Select KofaxRicohAndroid.apk and KofaxRicohAndroid.dalp and zip them into a package called ricoh-smart-operation-panel.zip
- Unzip the RegisterAndroidRicohClient.zip package and use the KofaxRicohAndroidRegistration.exe to install the newly edited ricoh-smart-operation-panel.zip package to the MFP device.
