This Week in the Copier/Office Equipment Industry 10 Years Ago Second Week of January 2006

If you take a peek at some of the threads below, you will see that many of the threads were related to wide format.  In another thread there were some references to the Seri Duplicator that used a separate device to cure the ink of the duplicator, this was necessary so that the ink would not wipe off of gloss stocks.  Just recently I came across the need for this device with a pharmaceutical firm.  Believe it or not, I called my contact in Europe and these devices and the ink are still available.  It's just the cost of getting the system here on a one off basis. 
 
Enjoy the threads from ten years ago!

Re: Customers Recapturing costs

Old Post, but I'll give my 50cents anyway. Can only really talk about equitrac and it is a really good product. You can only really get the best out of it if it is all setup and configured correctly. But if it is, yor employees can't really make a move without the system knowing about it.

Re: Customers Recapturing costs

Equitrac is good, I have a customer using a few of them with a DSc338. Recently had to find something for a 445 and I think the built in codes (500) will do the trick, printing, faxing and copying. The reports are not automatic but will count per user code and color vs black/white. Also good is PrintAudit @ $75./seat. I considered Printer Cost and Security Manager from Ricoh and while there are plenty of links for new Zealand and europe, there isnt much in usa. Ricoh has one page on it and...

Re: Copy Connect

Yes I do, “all work and no play, makes a very dull day. It’s been a long time since we had a copy connect request. Make sure that the “connection PCB” and the “DIMM” are in the CORRECT SLOT on both machines. Firmware on master and slave must be up to date. System-------v3.04.1 install first NCU---------v4.13.3 NetFile-------v3.04.2 BCU---------v4.01.1 LCDC--------v2.09 or later

Parallel printing can be set using Smartnet Monitor and RPCS driver. Coping, press the “printer/other function” key and adjust via touch screen.

FYI - KIP3000

TroyS ·
I am currently working on an order for a 240W...... my competition is the KIP 3000. Local dealer has told the customer that the KIP units are on backorder .. 3-6 months. If this is true, push hard, and get those deals. This box is very tough to...

Re: Seri Printer 25 w/VDP from Ricoh

The SeriPrint Drum cabinet enhances productivity by neatly holding the colour cylinders (drums) used by the print engine The convienent height and slide rails make it easy to insert and remove drums from the cabinet. The cabinet has large wheels and sturdy handles making it easy to move out of the way for storage when the system is not in use. Seriprinter Link

Re: BEST BUY promo from the Staff @ The Hotel

Here, here! I agree with you. Although I do not have many posts (only recently joined), I too receive invaluable information by just looking at the posts. It is also great to know of another resource available to those who seek information. Thank you for all the effort. Allen

Art, The info came directly from the mouth of the owner of the engineering group. They are a current copier customer of the dealer who told them this. I actually think that if this unit was available, I would have lost already. This box is VERY tough to beat. That is about all I can tell you. I am supposed to hear from the owner today or Monday in regards to an order. Good Luck.

Re: 240W & 480W w/Ecopy

Here are some more points to hammer home; FPOT 24 seconds warmup 5 minutes Rear exit only, looks the same as the 240W, if thats the case the customer will have continous misfeed problems with long paper No preview of scans No editing of scans Spindle load for paper, KIP outlines 15 steps to replace the paper roll! (ouch), Plus you must have a flat surface available to replace the roll, well that means an empty table or the floor (ouch) Toner replacement, 10 steps to repalce the toner! Plus...

Re: FYI - KIP3000

Hi All, Selling the KIP and Ricoh products just want to make sure to correct the record on a couple of things. First, the KIP 3000 does have a preview of the scanning. The preview will be shown right on the touch panel. Second, it is true the bypass must be set up for use. This is a one time task usually done by the technician at the time of installation. After that the user only need select manual feed and then indicate paper size. Lastly, the KIP 3000 does have a clamshell design. I know...

Re: FYI - KIP3000

JR: I was reading through the operators manual for the KIP and I did not see or the manual was not clear about the clamshell design, nor the pre-scan. However having to set the paper size everytime you use the by-pass can be a real drag. Thanx for correcting my mistakes, that's why we're all here!~ Art Post

Try scanning to a laptop using a cross overcable. This will exclude any PC or software of the customers. Or, try reloading or updating “controller” and “scan option” firmware.

Re: Tracking prints on 3260C

It should be. Make sure you actually have activated print tracking, and make sure "PC control" is off.

Overall, the Ricoh Response is quite good. There are a couple of answers I would take issue with. Rant: “The software is also very difficult to use and non-intuitive” Reality: Subjectively speaking, it would seem logical that a time tested mature product will be most versatile as well as easy and reliable to operate. Um, have you actually used the software? I agree that anyone who is technically proficient can stumble through it and get what they want in the end. However, it is...

Re: New HP Color MFP

The toner cost for this beast is .085 based on 5% coverage. Thats almost double the cost of the Aficios. You still need Image transer unit and fuser, will have the full MSRP cpp in a few days. Thanx
