Ricoh ScanSnap

Updated: 2025-09-16

Some Ricoh ScanSnap scanners do not include a TWAIN driver, so the setup process to make them work with DoxCycle is slightly different. 

Configure ScanSnap Home® to Send Scanned Documents to DoxCycle

Configure ScanSnap Home® to send scanned documents to DoxCycle, and you can either add them to the current DoxCycle file or open them in a new DoxCycle window. DoxCycle installs a ScanSnap settings profile to help you do this.

To set up this profile:

  1. Go to the Windows Start menu and open ScanSnap Home.
  2. Click on Settings.
  3. Select Scan Settings to open the ScanSnap Home - Scan window. Screen Capture: Ricoh ScanSnap Home
  4. Select the DoxCycle profile.
    Screen Capture: DoxCycle profile in ScanSnap Home

Create a New Profile for DoxCycle

If you don’t see the DoxCycle profile, you can create it from the ScanSnap Home - Scan window.

  1. Click the Add profiles button.
    Screen Capture: Add profiles button
  2. Select the ScanSnap Home template from the list on the left.
    Screen Capture: Select ScanSnap Home
  3. Rename the profile to DoxCycle.
  4. Select B&W from the Color mode dropdown list.
  5. Select Simplex from the Scanning side dropdown list.
  6. Select Best from the Image quality dropdown list.
  7. Select Automatic from the Rotation dropdown list.
  8. Select PDF (Single) (*.pdf) from the File format dropdown list.
    Screen Capture: Add DoxCycle profile to ScanSnap Home
  9. Select Add or Remove from the Send to dropdown list.
    Screen Capture: Send to dropdown list
  10. In the Application settings dialog box, click the Add button.
    Screen Capture: Add application
  11. Browse to your DoxCycle installation folder and select DoxCycle.exe. By default, this is in C:\Program Files\Trilogy Software\DoxCycle.
  12. Enter DoxCycle in the Display name field.
  13. Click OK.
    Screen Capture: Browse to the DoxCycle installation folder.
  14. Click Close to return to the Add new profile window.
    Screen Capture: Click Close.
  15. Select DoxCycle from the list of applications in the Send to dropdown list. 
  16. Click Add.
    Screen Capture: Select DoxCycle from the dropdown list.
  17. Click Apply. You’ll be asked to confirm you want to save the changes. Click Yes.
  18. Select DoxCycle from the Profile menu on the top right and then click OK to close ScanSnap Home settings.

Configure ScanSnap Folder Monitoring

Once you configure DoxCycle to monitor a folder, either local or on your network, for scanned source documents, it will automatically place the scanned source document in the Unassigned Document Gallery for you to then import.

DoxCycle installs a ScanSnap profile that is optimized to produce the best possible results from your scanner.

To use this profile:

  1. Go to the Windows Start menu, then open ScanSnap Home.
  2. Uncheck the Use Quick Menu option if it is checked.
  3. Click the Details button to expand the window, if required.
  4. From the Profile dropdown list, select the DoxCycle Folder Monitor profile.

Create a New Profile for Folder Monitoring

If you don’t see this profile, you can create it in ScanSnap Home settings:

  1. Click the Detail button to expand the window, if required.
  2. On the Applications tab, select Scan to Folder.
  3. On the Save tab, browse for the folder where you want to save scanned documents. The monitored folder set in DoxCycle options should match the one set on the Save tab in the ScanSnap Home settings. Check both these settings if documents aren’t showing up. For example \\server\scanneddocuments.
  4. Click on the Scanning tab.
  5. Select Best (Color/Gray: 300 dpi, B&W: 600 dpi) from the Image quality dropdown list.
  6. Select B&W from the Color mode drop-down list.
  7. Select Simplex Scan (Single-sided) from the Scanning side dropdown list.
  8. Click the Option button and uncheck Allow automatic image rotation and click OK.
  9. On the Paper tab, set Multifeed detection to None.
  10. Click Apply to save the profile.
