Configuring Botdoc SMTP on Ricoh MFP (MP Series)

This guide explains how to configure a Ricoh MP Series MFP to send emails securely using Botdoc SMTP. Unlike other MFPs, Ricoh models does not require an imported certificate — the Site Certificate Check must remain disabled for proper SMTP operation

🔑 Prerequisites

  • Access to the Ricoh Web Image Monitor (via printer IP, e.g., http://192.168.x.x)

  • Administrator credentials

  • Botdoc SMTP username and password (provided by Botdoc support)


Access Device Configuration

  1. Open your web browser and go to the MFP’s IP address.

  2. Log in as Administrator.

  3. On the left sidebar, click Device Management → Configuration.


Disable the Site Certificate Check

  1. Under Security, click Site Certificate.

  2. In the Site Certificate Check section, make sure it is set to Inactive.

  3. Click OK to save the setting.

To verify the configuration:

  1. Go to the MFP’s control panel.

  2. Choose Scanner → Scab to Email.

  3. Send a test scan to your email address.

    If the email arrives successfully, the configuration is complete.
