What I want in a copier.........By Jim Nash
Art Post (Guest) ·
The Sex Appeal Of Copiers May 20, 2003 People want a copy experience that's faster, cheaper, and, apparently, easier on the eye. By Jim Nash Consider the lowly copier. So central to all that we do and yet it is the object of such derision. Few would quibble that it has grown to become a sophisticated machine, but, it seems, short of putting a jinni inside, the copier doesn't live up to many office workers' expectations. And for at least a few of our more libidinous officemates, it may never hit

FW470 vs Xerox 8550
Art Post (Guest) ·
Can we compete with volume and speed? Xerox is "up to 10D Size" , our specs state 7 D Size prints per minute, does the Xerox slow down at the higher dpi? Can we print faster at a lower dpi? Is the 8550 the latest and greatest or is there another one coming out soon? Help!

When other people get zapped by the static from walking across a rug, we tell them how it makes toner stick to the drum and how the copier's high voltage has the same effect on the copier drum that causes dust to be on the TV screen. We know this stuff! Optics: You have a working knowledge of the way light works. We may not be able to describe its scientific characteristics

Canon IR105 'Z' Folder
Does anyone have any info on the 'Z' folder finishing option on the IR105? I.E. how fast (or slow) it is; reliablilty; productivity, etc.?

Re: Canon IR105 'Z' Folder
I didn't check the spec's, but from what I have experienced it does not slow down the speed of the copier. But I have had some customers complain that it cannot Z fold to the edge on the last fold. Canon designed it to leave a 6mm gap for some reason and it cannot be adjusted to compensate. Most companies that have interest in using the Z fold to insert ledger documents into letter spec books are used to have a "clean" edge fold. Also, the Z fold is only an option if used in conjunction

Re: Lookinf for Independent Dealers for National Installs
DMAP does not guarantee ship-ins will go to an authorized Ricoh Dealer anymore and preference does seem to go in favor of Direct Operations. We have had several DMAP Ship-outs go to Savin Dealers which we have been told isn't supposed to happen but happens anyway.

I hear an update is finally getting close (v1.4). We have a representative from Ricoh Corp. coming out soon to meet with our client to address some of the concerns that they have. They (Ricoh) are also looking for customer suggestions to try and make the Global scan experience more user friendly. I'm all for that. If you design something for a high volume of scans, it should be very easy to use. I'll post any results I hear from that meeting.

Re: Lookinf for Independent Dealers for National Installs
Dmap it and the dealer will be authorized ricoh dealers...you can specify which dealer. To find dealer go to ricoh-usa.com then go to contact ricoh then service location database then select state and product line. This is the best way to find independent dealers. There is also a master list you can try to get from your DSM, but that is always the hardest.

You can put down the dealer you want in the different locations when you fill out the paperwork. I doesn't have to go to a Direct Operation. You can evern request Savin, Lanier or Gestetner Dealers if you like.

If you do that, I think you can only do it with the winprint, not printing through Autocad with the PlotBase. I really don't see how it would work with SmartNet since it is a completely different controller and instruction set sent to the printer pc.

Re: 3800CD XP Problem using codes
Graham ·
I have never seen this problem, but I just ran a test here on my machine, mind you I am using SmartNet Monitor for Client. I set up 2 separate user codes, restricted all printing access to the device using SmartNet for Admin and gave printing permissions to those two user codes only. You HAVE to lock down all functions and give individual permissions for some reason for it to count the prints properly. (This avoids prints to the "others" category also. I printed from 2 separate user accounts on

3800CD XP Problem using codes
Ted ·
I have a realtor that now has a 3800CD printer. They have given each agent a user code, and every thing works fine with counting the clicks except...on one PC. They have an area where there are 4 community PC's for the agents to use. Of course three of the PCs are using Win98, and one uses XP. On all of the agents personal PC's, we are using the RPCS drivers so they can't change the codes. On the community PC's we loaded the PCL drivers so they can enter their code to make the print job go
