<div dir="ltr">I don't know offhand if Ricoh has any real management software to manage a whole fleet of the printers (they most likely do), but at the very least, individually, you can completely configure them via each one's internal web-based config tools. It's all IP-based, so assign them static IP addresses (of course) and connect to them over your VPN. Or if you don't have a VPN between sites, if you have to, you can use the firewall at each site to port forward a port of your choosing to the copier's IP:80. If you have to port forward, though, you ought to at least restrict the port forward to only work from your central office's IP address.<div>
