How to Add a Program Shortcut to the Ricoh Home Screen

✅ Step 1: Access the Ricoh Home Screen

1. Make sure the machine is turned on and ready.

2. Tap the Home button (usually a physical or touch button on the panel) to go to the Home Screen.

✅ Step 2: Set Up a Program (if not already saved)

If you haven’t created a program yet (for example, a scan-to-folder setting), follow these steps:

1. Tap on the function you want to create a shortcut for (e.g., Scanner or Copier).

2. Adjust the settings you want:

   • For Scanner: Set the destination folder/email, file format (PDF, JPEG), resolution, etc.

   • For Copier: Set duplex, paper size, color, number of copies, etc.

3. Once all settings are adjusted, tap on Program (usually found at the top or side of the screen).

4. Tap Register Program.

5. Give your program a name (e.g., “Scan to Admin Folder”).

6. Tap OK to save it.

✅ Step 3: Add the Program Shortcut to the Home Screen

1. Go back to the Home Screen.

2. Tap the Customize Home Screen or Add Icon (this may be a wrench or gear icon, or a specific option depending on your model).

3. Choose Add Program or Add Program Shortcut.

4. Select the function (e.g., Scanner, Copier).

5. From the list of registered programs, choose the one you saved earlier.

6. Tap OK or Add, and the shortcut will appear on the Home Screen.

7. You can drag and drop the icon to place it in your preferred location on the screen.

✅ Step 4: Rename or Customize Icon (Optional)

1. Press and hold the new shortcut icon.

2. Some models allow you to rename or change the icon color or design for easier identification.

3. Tap OK or Apply when done.

✅ Example Use Case

You want a shortcut for “Scan to Finance Folder”:

• Go into the Scanner function, select the finance department’s folder as the destination.

• Save it as a program named “Finance Scan”.

• Then add that program as a shortcut to the Home Screen for quick access.

✅ Notes:

• This feature may require admin permissions on some models.

• The exact steps and menu names may vary slightly depending on your Ricoh model (like MP C3004, MP 5054, etc.).

• If your model uses the Smart Operation Panel, the steps are more visual and touchscreen-based.
