especially if they're in a marketplace where Canon or Ricoh or Konica Minolta have a much more competitive (read that "Less costly") Gov't Bid program in place and Xerox would not ordinarily be able to place equipment and sell toner otherwise. It work extremely well in the 70's and 80's for me as a K-12 Rep then.

Re: Network Install Guide For Dummies

This is why I don't like General Guides If a customer is using DHCP, simply picking a higher number is not safe. You (and your contact at the customer) may not be aware of other factors. There may be a different class of devices (such as servers or printers or whatever) that is placed into a higher DHCP range. If you want to be perfectly safe when the customer is on DHCP, their IT should provide you with an IP. Of course, I've grabbed a seemingly open IP in order to get he printer working too .

If the customer can't give me an IP or know of one that is available, I will use the one that was in the printer/copier that I am replacing. If it is a new install, I will ask their IT what IP to use or have them do it. So far it has not been an issue.

I couldn't help my self and re-read the two HP threads from ten years ago. Back in the day, there was a saying that buyers used to clung too, the saying went like this.  If I buy the Xerox, and even if it doesn't work, no one is going to fault me for buying the Xerox over the Japanese brand. I feel this is the same with HP, even if that HP plotter, printer of copier stinks, the buyer will never hear a word from anyone for not buying the other brand.

Everyday we are asked a question about why a printer won't print, or a scanner won't scan, or even a fax won't LAN-FAX. Does anyone have a guide or know of one that has install guides for our network systems? I know the features of our systems and what they are supposed to do, but we do not have an IT tech on staff, so all of the questions fall to me, so if I do not know how to answer the question, I will search the web or Ricoh sites to get the answer. I guess I am hoping that someone has

An ldap scan to email search that doesn't require 5 button pushes (Xerox can in 2). Color scan on everything. Web access from MFP panel. More sophisticated scanning setup (create scan profiles in one application and then push to one or multiple devices simutaneously, Xerox does this). PostScript emulation at a fraction of the cost of the real postscript option (as most of our competitors have). Scan2print. Oh yes, and most important for Ricoh to stop trying to acquire it's already acquired

Cool thread here for everyone, you should check this one out.
Sometimes you cannot satisfy a customer, no matter how much customer service you provide, and how well the system operates. Case in point...We have had this customer for 8 years, and had sold them a Savin 2527, and a Savin 4027sp as the latest series. They had a 48 month lease contract with full service, and had been happy up to 3 years ago, from what they say. I received a letter they sent to the leasing company stating they did not wish to renew their lease, nor did they want

Canon Q1 profit down 18 pct, cuts outlook

The company earns more than three-quarters of its group revenues overseas, but the value of those earnings falls when converted back into a stronger Japanese currency.

Re: CUSTOMER BUYING MACHINES

I too have had a few customers that have bought from copier wholesalers that are selling on the web. In fact they are selling these units at the same cost that they will sell to us. The problem that arises with selling pre-owned, used, refurbs, is that the leasing companies will not fund these units at FMV, it's a $1.00 out which can then create some other hoops we have to jump through. Over the years I have always tried to stay away from anything used. You don't know the machines service

Just found out that a Savin 9033spf that I ordered last week is on backorder, all accessories shipped fine. I looked at the ETA, which shows September 2008. In other words, they have none in stock and no window of availability. However, there are still 3 of the Savin 9025's in California. If you're selling these, be prepared for a long wait!

Anything over 600x600 is an emulation. Simply put, the machine guesses where dots should go so your solids tend to be inconsistent. See if that works.

We charge the way RMAP does...$0.0135/click includes everything but color toner. Ricoh's Service Cost Fact Sheet has black copies @$0.0081/copy (assuming 6% coverage). Color copies generate $0.054/copy ($.0135 x 4 clicks) plus retail on whatever colored toner they use. Cost is less than $0.021/copy excluding supplies. Add Black toner costs of app. $0.003/copy and you get a cost of less than $0.025/copy giving a markup of 100% even if they don't buy their colored toner from you. Retail sales

We are trying to decide how to price our maintenance also. There are many interesting aspects to this copier and it's printer cousin, the CL5000.

Using the Ricoh Service Cost Fact Sheet, it appears that the CPP for B&W with toner with a 30% margin would be about

My thought is if you can make it engage for color pages, make them disengage if the client wants it to. Anyway, in your specific situation, why not have them reverse the page order, so the B&W prints first? Cheers. Jim Stocker

In a few of threads that were posted for Production Copiers I see the cost per page was .0039 and .004.  Never, ever did I think that A3 black MFP's would go that low.  After seeing many bid quotes would it be far fetched to think that black could go down to .0025?
I guess for manufacturers or dealerships that aren't doing well, offering such low cost per page pricing on bids can get you cash flow on the short term. However it's going to bite them in the ass long term.  I read a report just a few days ago that placements in the US have dropped 6% since 2015 in the US market. Something to think about?  I wonder if that numbers covers all of the niche type boxes that we didn't have year ago.  Enjoy the threads from ten years ago this week.

Savin 9050spf Fax Issue

·
I had a customer call this morning about the fax option on a Savin 9050spf. He says when receiving a fax, the machine will print out the first page only, but not the rest of the pages. The faxes receive to memory for printing, but will not print more than the first page, and the other pages are deleted. Any suggestions?

After reading this, it sounds like Canon is trying to duplicate what Xerox did in the 1990's. Sooner or later it will come back to bite them in the rear, just like it did Xerox.

with a specific program, only to find out that the program was written to work with a specific HP driver, and nothing else will make it happy. Since there aren't a lot of Ricoh-specific features on a SP4110n, maybe just pointing the old driver at the new printer (and re-naming it Ricoh SP4110n) will make the whole problem disappear? If all of the IT gods are rolling their eyes at me right now, I humbly ask forgiveness for being a "stupid salesman", but honestly, I've seen this work before. Good

Re: Savin 9050spf Fax Issue

I wish customers could give you the whole story the first time they call. I found out that this issue only happens when the customer is receiving a fax from one vendor. They would receive multiple copies of the same page from this one vendor.There would be an intermittent disconnect of the handshake between the two faxes. I suggested they put a line conditioner on the fax line. They already have that. They have an older Savin 4035spf that the faxes do receive from this one vendor. I also

Another "home-grown" solution like PrintMail is/was. The AIIM/OnDemand announcement says they are targeting it at the transpromo market. Just getting on my soapbox here: I really have to wonder why Ricoh invests its research and development in creating a VDP product when there are so many excellent products and plug-ins out there created by software/VDP experts. These experts are only too happy to partner with hardware experts, and most of the hardware experts are only too happy to partner with

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't most of "Ricoh's" solutions, re-labeled third-party stuff? Except for GlobalScan and DocumentMall (which was actually a seperate entity but wholly owned by Ricoh if I remember right or was that eCabinet?) third-party agreements? Typically, we find out soon after a launch that the "new" addition to the line-up is a tried-and-true but by a different name. Cost and Security Manager was EquiTrac, Print Director is PrintAudit, etc. I may have the associations wrong

If this product is like the older VDP products from Ricoh, and I think it is, then they are relabeld versions of products from XLPrint. XLPrint
