What is a UMS file?

UMS files mostly belong to UMS Viewer.

An UMS file is used in different systems and applications. It may represent a unify message store or contain settings and data lists for hardware components.
Usage examples include:

  • Unified Message Store: Files of this type store organized messages, often encoded in UTF-16 (LE). They are designed to be read by specific software like the UMS Viewer.
  • Printer Parts List: In another implementation, an UMS file holds details such as a parts list for Ricoh printers. These files are managed with the RICOH UMS Editor, and more details can be found on the Ricoh website.

FilExt.com tip: Opening these files with a generic text editor may display encoded content. It is best to use the dedicated application based on the file's purpose.

How to open a UMS file

You need a suitable software like UMS Viewer to open a UMS file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your UMS file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a UMS file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
