In response to the current situation, Ricoh is now preparing a firmware update which will enable support for newer versions of the SMB protocol (SMBv2/v3) for some multifunction products. The table below shows the supported SMB protocol versions for each product and the plan for SMB v2/v3 support.

Even after applying the firmware update, Windows authentication and SMB printing will not be available when SMB v1.0 is disabled.
For other products not listed in the above table, only SMB v1.0 is supported. For these products, please use the suggested alternatives from this document.
