In my opinion, Ricoh really doesn't have a "printer" per se' that will accomplish this. I would place a Kyocera FS9520 system in there as a printer for that kind of volume. You might be able to screech by with an AP4510, but I wouldn't do it because I think that is just working it too hard. In HP, they are going to recommend an HP 9000 printer to do that volume. As far as Ricoh goes, I don't know that you can do anything but try to talk him in to a 1055 copier device to do that volume in Ricoh

Re: When selling wide format

Inkjet plotting. Outsourcing is perceived as saving on labor costs, but you have to consider turnaround time, travel time if they have to deliver copies for reproduction. I would also consider the scanning aspect. It would be less expensive in most cases to scan your own drawings to archive or FTP site than pay someone who will charge a premium. Scan charges in our area are between $4.00 and $6.00 per page. It all depends on the account.

However not to do combat with service, why not put a trial in for the a few months and see what happens, if the black volume is printing just give them a laser printer for a few months.

Re: 2232 & 2238 ACS

ACS (auto color select) is also on the 1224 and 1232. When you select ACS the system then looks at all of the originals being fed and if it is a b & w then it copies/prints in b & w. If it is in color then it copies/prints in color so you can have mixed originals of b & w and color and the system will then produce the set as is. unlike the 3800 where if you set the system for color ALL of the copies/prints would be color clicks.

Here is some interesting info. The saddle stich unit is identical the one sold by Canon and minolta/konica. But our spec are slightly differnt. For instance the canon can not have a 3 hole punch added. The kon/mon is speced for up to 24lb paper. We can do up to 34lb. Also on the Konica if you saddle stich anything larger the 8 1/2 by 11 then you can only set it for 25 sets or less.

If you are talking about service support, they are all under the same umbrella ... and I think we will soon see uniformity among all of the RFG.

The Savin dealer I recently left would buy everything at Government pricing. I think it would be obvious to Savin, but I believe for the most part they look the other way

A bit is the smallest unit of information a computer understands. It has two possible states: it can be on or it can be off. All computer information is handled in this way.If there are 2-bits per pixel, the number of colors each pixel can display rises to four. Two-bits per pixel means each pixel has 2 bits and each bit has two states: on and off. In mathematical terms, 2 bits x 2 states = 4 colors.

No, passwords are then needed at the copier because the file has benn sent to the PC that is pass code protected. Then you are within the HIPPA comnpliance. 2022SP is $7,195 retail.

Re: Canon eCopy

Chad (Guest) ·
E-copy was just a way to get push scan to email/computer/etc. before Canon figured out how to get it into the copier without a seperate monitor and computer. The canon i models are less expensive than adding e-copy. E-copy does offer a little more user friendly applications, but I can not justify the cost versus an "i" model copier. Hope this helps.

Scott, What specifically is their application? Remember, the 2035/45, 1224/32, the 2090/2105, and 1060/75 all come with scan to e-mail out of the box. If they are sending to less than 2000 destinations, and don't require authentication. You're good to go out of the box. I'm told there is a way to create a csv? file form you e-mail address book and upload to the copier via smartnet monitor. If they require authentication or direct access to mailserver then you add Global Scan. Pete M.

I wonder if, in the long term, the RICOH will stay consistent with a certain margin on movment, and the riso will start going all over the place. That I do not know, but that is the argument my higher ups are sticking to. I appreciate everyones input. Thanks again, Brian

Then have the administration settings on the print controller changed to show the Print mode as the priority there as well. I'll let you know what we find. By only selecting the Print mode as priority in the user tools of the copier, we would get the receiving print job light to flash, but it wouldn't light the print button and

I haven't seen anything about this. No news as of today on the Ricoh and Aficio League sites. It is really frustrating when you have customers that have been waiting months to see these...

Do we need the postscript option, say on a 1060 also, if they are going to print from a UNIX environment?

There has been some discussion and confusion as to what accounts exactly qualify for GEM Promo pricing. The answer is any account that qualifies as a GEM Acct.. Attached is a document from Ricoh's DMAP pricing which states what are and are not GEM accts. This chould clear up any confusion.
