Savin 4022 / Ricoh 2022

The back side leading edge has toner on it and fades out as you get to the trail edge. if you run multiple copies it is only on the first copy. I have noticed that if you look at the drum prior to making copies there is a coating of toner on the drum. It appears that the toner is getting on the transfer roller and then the back of the paper. Have tried a different High voltage board and SBCU board with no change. Have also shorted the drum ground with no change. Did notice that when you take a

Coming from the sales side: I always try to take care of the guys that help feed my family. There have been some occassions where I have forgotten where the lead originated, however I try to make up for this with "special consideration". I am aware of the situation and believe salesperson in question should "pony up" and take care of those who take care of him. When selling for Ricoh, we sales people get to accumulate points for products and or gift certificates. Share the wealth if not with

P4P Vendor Sponsered Training Seminar

I have been asked by several members of the Print 4 Pay Hotel if we might be able to put together a Training Seminar/Solutions Event. First thoughts would to have this event over two or three days and have it sponsered by our Authorized Vendors. Doculex, VircoSoft, Sentryfile, Idatix, Memory Experts, Print Audit, Ricoh may be able to have training and solution seminars. I think this can be pulled off depending on how many members would commit. We could also have a round table with P4P members

Re: Tiff/Jpeg (what determines)?

Great question. As always, because I am a sales & marketing guy, when it comes to tech questions I turn to our technical guru's for help. For those of us who are technically challenged I learned that SMB, which stands for Server Message Block, is a protocol for sharing files, printers, serial ports, and communications abstractions such as named pipes and mail slots between computers. Beyond that I do not comprehend. Perhaps someone will address your question more specifically and enlighten us

Re: AF1515 Scanning

My scanning gripe with the 1515 .... the FAX 4410NF is basically the 1013/1515 machine without a flatbed ... correct? Why does Ricoh not put color scanning on the 1515MF? If they can do it on the 4410NF, Samsung can do it VERY inexpensively for the Ricoh AC104 and AC204 ... scan to email a PDF file, I don't know about everyone else, but when using this particular feature, I find the documents are often in color.

Re: 240W Cutting Off PDF Print

I've noticed the same problem and was told that the reason for it cuting of the end 8 inches is because Acrobat does not support printing PDFs larger than C-size unless you have the full version of Acrobat, ie not just the Acrobat Reader, Atleast for the newer verions of reader. Anyone know if there is truth to this?

YES- hold down the “Ctrl” key and single click the files you want to print. All the files will be highlighted. Select print and presto. Note: you cannot change the order in which they print. If page page3 is at the top line in the print queue and page 1, then 4, then 2. It will print in that order.

Re: shady salesman

Stories like this burn my britches too. I think of all the times our tech support has stepped to the plate when I, wearing my sales hat, painted myself into a tech corner. The contribution value of competent and reliable tech support can not be over-emphasized and never taken for granted. Too many sales reps rely on tech support to close a deal for them, and simply walk away. Not only is it unethical, it is just plain dumb to alienate technical support. Thank you for sharing this story, perhaps

I also believe there is another way that Jay mentioned in one of the threads I have found. check it out when you get a chance. Art this should help

NO - You cannot merge the jobs into "sets" that can be sorted. If you hold CTRL and click on multiple documents, they will all print, but they will not come out sorted. If I asked for 3 copies, I'd get 3 copies of the first page, 3 copies of the second page, etc., etc. You can create a set to be collated, but the way to do this is to plot the files to disk, then create a job in Plotbase and add all the plots you need in this set to the job. Then you can select number of copies, select "collated

Just an FYI that I stumbled upon while creating a job in Plotclient WIN. When you hilight a group of prints to add to the job, they DO NOT drop into the job in the same order. If you are collating and need them in the exact order, you need to drop one file at a time into the job to insure correct order. If anyone has found that this is not true, please let me know. Thanks.

Thanks Pete. The really funny thing is that I spoke to my Savin dealer rep on the same day you posted this info and he told me that there was absolutely NO information available about the new products and none would be released until the launch of the 51 ppm system in November. Maybe I should invite the poor sap to join P4P so that his dealers don't know more than he does! Thanks again! Brian
