Reality is that most sales people are average everyday individuals who are friendly and considerate and have friends and families, just like people who are accountants, engineers

untapped. A market where there are 3 to 8 employees and all they need to do is print. They are out sourcing some 40 - 80 prints a month and can't afford payments of $296 and they are buying ink plotters whether HP or Canon. It would be nice to capture these customer also. My general opinion is that Ricoh Wide Format is resting on their laurels with the Ricoh SP W2400. Their concern was to not capture more TDV, but to hold pricing similar to the outdated technology of the their competitors. And, while

This is a plug n play (UpNp) problem. I solved my issue by disabling UpNp at the server, however you can turn it off at the print also, login to Web Image Monitor and disable SSDP, you may be able to do it from the panel but I'm not sure. I havent seen this problem on the printers but I have on the new MFP's. I would be interested in knowing if this fixes it.

Re: Ricoh C411dn

John · 10/13/0712:34 PM

We tried turning off SSDP at the printer but that didn't fix the issue. The customer is going to turn off UpNp at their server and hopefully that will take care of it. The other issue I spoke about was the postscript problem and windows authentication. Any thoughts on this? By the way, Thanks IT Dude for your help.

Re: Ricoh C411dn

You are welcome, and I believe that authentication is not officially supported by Ricoh using the postscript driver (only rpcs, and pcl). I will try and get a confirmation on that, and get back to you.

An important part of selling is to keep track of the ratios and numbers so you can understand your pipeline and improve it. How many calls does it take to get an appointment? How many appointments does it take to get a sale? And so on. Eventually, you'll find that it generally takes 10 calls to make an appointment and 10 appointments to make a sale, for instance. Then you'll realize that if you made 1000 calls last month and made $5000, then you'll want to make 2000 calls to make $10,000. Once

None. That's because you didn't feed the pipeline. Of course, if you've done any sales already, you're quick to realize that If you made $20000 in sales this month, it's because you made 2000 calls last month. Or something like that.

Make sure WINS Server is turned off unless the customer has a WINS Server. Ricoh "out-of-the-box" have WINS ENABLED with the IP ADDRESS of 0.0.0.0. I have seen this to cause a DNS issue when trying to resolve names to IP address for PC on the network. Also, you MUST set the SMB Domain/workgroup correctly or it will not find any PC's on the LAN. The default SMB workgroup/domain name programmed in the MP161 is WORKGROUP. If that is not the customers workgroup/domain name then you WILL get that

This Week in the Copier Industry 15 Years Ago

First Week of September 2007

sponsored by

Over the weekend I picked up the BTA magazine for August. In that article was an interview or Q&A with Oscar Sanchez (CEO) of Kyocera Document Solutions America. Cutting to the chase one of the dealer questioned posed to Oscar.

"The Kyocera A4 has been non-existent for the last several months. We have been informed that little or no product will be available for the balance of this year"

One of Oscars responses stated that in the last quarter April to June of this year Kyocera shipped 25,000 A4 devices. Okay, I thought does that mean 25,000 to the USA or was that worldwide? How about their A4 partners like Ricoh, does that number include A4 MFPs that went to Ricoh USA also? How about the other partners?

I can accept that he meant the USA market place, which means 8,000 MFPs was the monthly average. Does that mean.....more coming later this week

I have never seen a Ricoh printer (or any other laser printer) consistently produce printed envelopes without creasing the paper. 3 "flaps" of paper going thru pressure and heat - like ironing shirt collar. Humidity seems to affect this more than anything else. GelSprinters won't wrinkle your envelopes. It doesn't appear you can select number 10 size envelopes. I think you will have to input the length and width as a custom size.

The golden age of copiers and some may argue when that was, however I had the opportunity to be in the golden age of the business. It's my belief that the Golden Age of copier started in 1980 and ran till 2010. My reasoning starts with the mass production of plain paper copiers in the early eighties, then the introduction of the digital copiers in the nineties and lastly the coming of age for digital color copiers. Technology which brought about so many changes in those 30 years has taken it's toll with advanced digital process (email, pdf, OCR, document management) that has reduced our clicks for the last 12 years. Change is good and we need to Change!

Ok, I tested my theory and it does not automate the above scenario. The only thing that does work is to scan to folder and have a shortcut of the PS driver in the folder. This way, users could just select the PDFs they scanned, drag and drop to the PS icon, and collect the prints. Another thought, if the customer needs to scan mixed batches, I am assuming letter and legal, then why recommend an MFP that will not automatically separate the image sizes? Doesn't this lead to more time wasted
