I have placed some IS300e with CL7200 systems. But it has been awhile since I did that. The quality will not stand up to the new MP-C serics. You can't add fax. You don't have the same touch screen. And printer supplies are higher cost. I think the time of this combo has passed with the MP-C2500/3000/3500/4500 unless you are in a real price fight with a printer - scanner combo.

Bottom line, The copier manufacturers are in the business of manufacturing copiers. Dealers are in the business of selling copiers. Mfgs panic anytime they see their inventory exceed certain levels and do all they can to continue manufacturing at consistant levels. When inventory exceeds preset levels, what do they do? they seek other methods of distribution to move equipment. Look at car manufacturing in the US, they will offer all kinds of incentives to their current dealers to move machines

Second Week of October 2006

Thus I'm taking that the COVID19 was 11%. IDC states that 6 million pages were printed globally every minute in 2019. Let' understand the numbers.

fast sales thought Be careful to minimize your efforts to say what you feel needs to be said in a sales call. The most important thing is that you learn what your prospects really want or need and why. The simplest way to do this is to forget about yourself, your company, your products, and your competition. Focus only on the discussion. Be real. Ask questions and listen. Care for them and they’ll more likely care for you. (use this link for a “be real” printable reminder)

Everything that's printed out of the machine has a light haziness to the white areas. This is true for copies, prints from autocad and windows test pages.

When a new roll is inserted, the first copy of a set is always missing about an inch or so. If another set is sent, the first one may come out correctly or it may not, its hit and miss. But if I were to unload the paper, and then print again, the odds that the first one out will be an inch or so short is good bet. It only seems to do it on a new roll, so I think that the weight of the roll is a factor. At one time I think there was a toner/developer spill in the machine. The tech that worked on

You will not be able to submit them with Plotclient, or have Plotbase understand them natively, but once they pass thru the driver, it should work fine

Our techs were mixed on feedback. Some liked the printer and some didn't. The advantages they all seemed to agree on were: 1. The speed is awesome compared to other low end inkjets without having to be in draft mode to get great speed. 2. The ink dried VERY quickly when compared to other inkjets we tried. In fact, one of the more skeptical techs tried to smudge the ink right off the printer and could not. The biggest disadvantage was the print quality, but for a low end ink printer, the speed

I have had this happen before with a PC that had McAfee Anti Virus loaded on it. You have to update McAfee to fix the issue. It is a McAfee created problem and they acknowledge it. Go to McAfee and search for (Case No: 758588, Hotfix HF214636). Also,check out this FAQ from Ricoh Corp website I attached. It will explain also.

One at a time. A destination can have email, fax and folder programmed. I don’t know about the grouping. For lanfaxing you would have export from address book and import into laxfax address book. Lanfax cannot go into the MFP’s address book for the information.

C2500 - address book questions

Big Dog (Guest) ·
In the address book an individual (company) can have both a fax destination and an email address. Can a group contain both email and fax destinations? If an individual has both can you select which to include in the group? Also, is there anyway that the names, email and fax destinations entered into the address book can also be used for the address book in LAN-Fax?

Resending Faxes

Big Dog (Guest) ·
I've got a customer with a Ricoh 350 equipped with fax. They can do something I've never seen. In fact, I told them it couldn't be done till they showed me they could. If they attempt to transmit a fax which errors out, they get an error report printed. Then they are able to go back into the control panel and RETRASMIT the fax without re-scanning. I've always understood that this could not be done. You'd have to re-scan. I can't duplicate this on a 1045. Does anyone have more information

We were part of Ricoh's trial on these and put 4 of them out on customer sites for a few months. Overall the feedback was good. Print/copy quality was what you would expect from an inkjet. It was OK. We did not have any service issues except for clogged print heads. The process to clean the heads is intended to be a customer responsibility. There will need to be some training to get the customers use to doing this on a regular basis. Surprisingly the few issues we did have were media related

Unless I'm missing something, this solution does not work. After the transmission fails and error report is printed, the Change/Stop soft key is no longer available. Even before the fax has completely errored out - that is before it tried three times - I don no see a retransmitt ability. ???????

Awesome color, handles high volume. Not very user friendly IMO. These are going to be the replacement for the 3100c or Aficio 3131. Modular componets. PM can be done in under 40mins if tech rebuilds in shop. Ricoh has very low target volumes for the 2500/3000. Toshiba says their's will go into much higher volume location. Lets hope the new 35/45 color will handle higher volumes. JG

I saw a couple on line for the printers and they said generally that the blacks were gray and the colors light. Further that Ricoh planned it that way becasue of the duplexing capability. However, the technology is characterized as "fast drying" to eliminated smears. I have an HP Deskjet that duplexes, the colors are bold and deep, It doesn smear when duplexing
