Ricoh Smart Operational Panel G2 FAQ:
- What exactly is a SOP G2 device?
Smart Operation Panel (SOP) is a 10.1″ WSVGA (1024×600) Android-based panel for modern Ricoh devices. Generation 2 (G2) uses Android version 4.2.2 based on an ARM Cortex-A9 1Ghz CPU and 2GB of RAM - Was there a SOP Generation 1?
There was, but the first generation SDK lacked certain functionality for applications requiring authentication to take advantage of. Generation 1 (G1) was based on Android 2.3.4 based on an ARM Cortex-A9 533Mhz CPU and 1GB of RAM. - Is there an upgrade available for G1 SOP MFPs to G2?
Not that we are aware of. G1 devices would need to use the Java-based PaperCut Ricoh client. - Do current Java-based apps work on SOP G2 devices?
Yes, older devices run ESA/J (Java) and the new devices run SmartSDK (Android). For the near future, Java-based apps will work on G2 devices, but this may change. - Do you have a list of SOP G2 devices?
