This Week in the Copier Industry 10 Years Ago, The Third Week in July 2008

 

There's a thread below about "tray tolerance" and one of the items in that thread mention Plot Client.  Which reminded me about the install of a recent MP W6700, and my only client that was using Plot Tools for a W3601SP.   When pricing the device I forgot all about their needs for "batch" plotting and did not figure in the cost for the Ricoh "Print, Copy, Tool".  Luckily all went (at least so far) as I remembered about the web printing tool that Ricoh offers. I'll keep my fingers crossed on this one!

Enjoy the threads from ten years ago this week!

suit against Palm Computing. Xerox successfully argued that the Graffiti handwriting recognition feature of the Palm Treo handheld system was a copy of Xerox’s Unistrokes software (which never found its way into a Xerox product). Xerox will receive $22.5 million from Palm. - Another copier dealer sells out. Xerox, through its Global Imaging division, purchased Sierra Office Solutions of Reno, NV. Its legal name was Precision Copier Service, and was a large Ricoh/Kyocera dealer, but will now

Has anyone installed this on an MP8000 and how does it work? I was told by a Ricoh Digital Support Specialist that this is what I needed for a client who wants to set copy codes and copy limits for each code. Looking for feedback. How hard is this to install? Does it install on the copier directly. Thanks, John

Does anyone know where to get the firmware revisions for this? I looked on the Ricoh TSC and RFG e-source sites and only saw bulletins. Thanks.

Color Control

Hey folks, I was hoping someone might be able to help with this scenario I have going on. The customer (a private school) has several Savin C3030mfps. They want their staff and students to be able to print to these. They would like user codes set up on the mfps and to have each computer have a unique user code. I have installed 2 instances of the RPCS driver (copier color and copier b&w). In the b&w driver, I set the color preference to b&w and I went into advanced optionslimitation settings

Secondly, how does the 65 pixel rule play out if the original file is 600dpi? I'm pretty sure this has to do with original file resolution, since we don't have a 150dpi print option. If your original file resolution is 600dpi (god help ya), then 65 pixels would mean roughly 3mm. (roughly 1/10 of an inch).

Re: Tray Tolerance

Well, If they are using Plot Client, they can force the prints to 30x42 really easily. (That will affect scale slightly, but most folks who are concerned about scale do not realize how dimensionally unstable a paper print is with humidity and temp factors). We've had some weird issues with 3.7, especially regarding scanning. In addition to the strange new interface, there are a number of features that do not work, or are hard to configure. It's been about a year since I played with 3.7, all I

What is a Line Card? If you are referring to a full line brochure, there is one in the most recent Ricoh Image Magazine (Vol. 18) or it is #R2751 to order.

Re: RICOH MCE

And the answer from Ricoh (finally) is there isn't and wont be a Vista version. You have to stay with XP. S'OK with me.

If you find one, pass it along. I've never seen one either. Savin lists an 11x17 duplexed brochure, but they don't call it a line card.

Re: LINE CARDS

Check Publications Bulletin PUB (C)-052 reissue [tpc@ricoh-usa.com]. I think that is what you want. They're called specification charts for all models and all mfg names under Ricoh.

Sharon, I think what you want is in the Aficio League site under InfoCenter as CopyJax Fax has added. Its under the Product Information Tab in Sales Support. If you're not Aficio League registered let us know.
