This Week in the Copier/Office Equipment Industry 10 Years Ago Second Week of August 2005

Boy, did the second thread of this update bring back some horrid memories.  For those of us that have been selling Ricoh for more than ten years, we have the horror stories of waiting 3,4 and even six weeks for equipment because Ricoh made a switch to Oracle.

 

Enjoy the threads from ten years ago!

          I'm in a very tough battle with Toshiba. I'm quoting a 2051 sp against an Estudio 520. Any advice? It's a state agency, and their state contract price is at least $800.00 below my COST - before I even add any markup. I believe I can sell this customer

          Can somebody shed some light on the standard and optional print configurations for the Ricoh 3260C and 5560. We had this product launched a week ago and were told that the 3260C came standard with printing and scanning. Our pricing noted otherwise so

          I've got a question:  Are Savin and Gestetner still getting equipment, or are they not being shipped also.  Everything comes from the same warehouses...right?  We have been told from some at Ricoh that the equipment is on backorder (lame excuse

          This is probably a better question for Ricoh Tech support. The PS3 version isn't the issue I think, simply the OSX driver. Has the customer tried it and not gotten it to work? On a mac, the "driver" doesn't generate the Postscript code, the operating

          Contact your Major Accounts Sales Manager with Ricoh. I see from your profile that you are from Mississippi so your guy may be the same as mine who is Michael Morrison and can be reached at (714)258-6008.
