Re: Savin SPC210SF

Curious to see if anyone has sold any of these yet. We have found that it makes good color prints but embarrassing color copies. I still think we can market this as a good entry level bw copier/fax/printer/color printer. Still will do as well as Savin AC205+CLP17 at a lower initial investment. Any thoughts on this?

I don't think I was as clear as I should have been in my previous post. They would transport the mfp with them and use it for printing locally. The main problem comes when they want to send a fax. I'm thinking of selling them an AC205 and showing them that they can scan via usb or Scan to PC software and then sending the fax via a third party solution like smart fax. The AC205 would be ideal because it is lightweight, inexpensive and has the scan to usb capability. The main hurdle is the third

Depending on your finisher options, the Toshiba is about $300-$400 Cheaper than U.S. Comm, vs. NFP Pricing. We have may users that perfer the control panel on the Ricoh/Savin to the Toshiba, but for value, most of our price sensitive customers go Toshiba.

I think if you map the port of the MFP through the firewall. The end-user (on their laptop in the field) Could print via IPP. (Internet Printing Protocol) I know the Ricoh MFP's have this capability. To be honest I never have done this. But, in theory it can be done. That is where I would look. -slim463

Boy do I have alot of Gripes!!!!!

Art Post (Guest) ·
Get this, my boss (the owner) calls me and tells me about an existing client that wants to upgrade thier duplicator. He states he wants to give to me since I am the most knowledgable in our office about duplicators. It is a church account and there is competition, I get the deal and make $300 in commissions, plus the $200 spiff from Ricoh. Not bad....I was happy with the outcome. Now a month later I get an email from him saying that it is his account and he is taking the $200 spiff from Ricoh

Re: mobile office

I think you still weren't clear The problem you have is there's no phone line for the MFP to plug into in order to fax?

That's correct. Since this is the case I think it is easier to use the internet to route the faxes.

That was just wrong. But who is to say the next guy wouldnt do the same thing. I have heard similar things from our salesmen about our boss. And from other techs in other companys. Like changing the commission after the sale, or changing the compensation after the deal. I am sure not everyone is like that but with about 5-6 employers under my belt, I can safely say it is not uncommon.

Re: Gas Price Check

·
A thought hit me while looking over the articles here. Since the major gas companies are making billions in quarterly profits, any chance the copier companies servicing their copiers could base their CPC's on what their local gas charges are? How would they react to paying $2.75 per copy, excluding toner? Just a wishful thought!

I totally agree, making changes after-the-fact is just WRONG!!! I guess every salesperson struggles with situations like this with at least one of their employers. All we can do is voice our opinion and try to change the situation. If we can't, like you said, we have two choices -- put up with it or go somewhere else. Either way, if we let it affect our attitude, it can dull our edge, and we can miss a sale -- losing even more money due to the same situation.

You can try the laser jet 4 or 5 driver. Other than that Ricoh doesnt offer anything compatable.

""he'd let me have my way"" How denegrating. Obviously he knows, you know he tried to f you. As had been previously stated, don't let it affect your day. Sending the email was a good way to get it out in the open. Now forget it and go on or get a new job. You are too good a salesman to let this cloud your mind.

CLP22 Fuser Jams

·
A CLP22 customer tells me that when they try to print a word document, that the first page prints fine (no color), but the second page jams in the fuser. Each time they clear the job and try again, it will jam on the second page, and always in the fuser. Any updates on this printer I could try?
