I started my vacation on a Thursday last week. Why? Well best laid plans of mice and men don't always work. Which leads me to a series of meetings I had last week with an a net new account. They were interested in 20 plus users for Managed IT, a copier and needed to bring their IT infrastructure up to date. A pretty sizable deal that was on the fast track. We met last the Friday before last, schedule an assessment on Monday. Had to go back on Wednesday and present. On Wednesday AM, we received word form the leasing company that the prospect has a recent Bankruptcy. Thinking back, now I understand why this was smooth sailing and why their IT infrastructure was in shambles.

Three Classes of High-Volume Printers
reasonable in price, increasingly under $50,000. For some businesses, buying two or three Konica Force 75s or Canon imageRUNNER 85s is less expensive than buying a single 110-11 5 ppm printer, plus they get a backup system in case one of their machines has mechanical problems. Vendors such as Xerox and Heidelberg may have to adjust pricing if this trend continues. Hybrids: While we have identified three separate classes of high-volume printers, the reality is that individual models often address

Plus, Xerox sales are closely tied to the U.S. economy, which is recovering. Over the next year, price-cutting could grab it an additional 2% to 3% share of the printer market, where it now holds 18%, estimates Peter Grant, an analyst with market consultancy Gartner.

Kyocera Mita's FS-C5016N
monochrome ECOSYS printer. Challenging the traditional high cost of color, Kyocera Mita now leads the industry by delivering an ultra-low 4.5 cents per color print. Competing brands offer a cost per color print of six to ten cents or higher. The FS-C5016N printer is cost-effective and environmentally friendly. For example, an enterprise that purchases 25 of the FS-C5016N and runs an average of 5,000 color prints per machine per month has the potential of saving hundreds of thousands of dollars

Re: Weekly Saddlestitch Finishing Job
Week in and week out? Hmmmmmm.. I a a few printers using the Ricoh saddle stitch finisher, but not at this volume. However, I understand that our saddle stitch finisher is the same as Canon's. A few offuture accounts are using this product. I will stop in and ask them. The page mount and cover is well within the limit. The limit is 15 pages (thus making a 60 page booklet). MBM sells Plockmatic Booklet makers and I have found them to be extremley reliable! The off-line booklet maker is popular

History of Ricoh
In 1936 Riken Kankoshi Co., Ltd. was formed to market sensitised paper. In the late 1940s, founder Kiyoshi Ichimura formulated the Spirit of Three Loves, which later became Ricoh's corporate philosophy, in recognition that people are a company's greatest asset. In the 1950s, Ricoh built on mass-production technologies cultivated with the RICOHFLEX III to enter the office equipment market. In the 1960s, Ricoh expanded its office equipment business to include such offerings as reproduction, data

The Secret Behind The Speed
. Printer paper output horizontal for faster operation In conventional Ricoh printers, the paper has been sent from the tray in an S-pattern to the drum. The printer would print from the first page, and the page would have to be output upside down. In order to minimize this distance for even faster operation, the paper is fed directly from the bottom. This decreases printing time to just 8 seconds -- at least twice as fast as conventional models.

Macintosh Desktop Faxing and a 1022
I have a client (architect) that is all mac. Mac servers and mac workstations. They would like to enable desktop faxing from a 1022. They would also like all faxes recived to be routed to a network folder. I'm guessing that the Ricoh fax droiver is not Mac compatable. Can anyone verify that. What is I got a cheap PC and put it on their network and shared it. Can the fax drivers live their as well as that shared network folder? Thanks in advance for ther input.

551 & Mac issues (OS10)
I have a church with a 551 (Peerless Controller) that is having issues with printing from MAc OS10. It boils down to PDF files. They can print a 10 page document, and it spools the whole thing but hangs up and doesn't print the last page. It contiunues to say processing, but...nothing. No problem with the systems under OS10, but the customer is claiming it is with our machine, because they can send the same job to their printers, and it works fine. We have put the latest firmware, and even

Re: 551 & Mac issues (OS10)
One more question.... Are they printing from OsX or are they printing from an earlier MACOS Emulator within OsX? That could cause an issue as well.... This is NOT a problem with the machine as far as I can tell, if you can print from the other OS with OSX it is some sort of communication problem that the Mac is having getting the right PS information across to the printer. Are their other printers using PS3 or a PS2 emulation? I think that is all that I have left to ask...
