Bates Stamping w/Ricoh Copiers
Art Post (Guest) ·
I've had a few people ask me about this the last few days. I have recomended a few Bates Stamping solution w/Ricoh copiers. Here's my solution: We all know that we can not do a "bates-stamp" with copying on most of the Ricoh units, however all of our machines can now scan. I instruct the customer to scan the document to a folder on the network and then open the Bates-Stamp software and then select the icon for electronic documents, select the type of stamp that you need, after that you just

Barron's: Shares could soar on color copying
Art Post (Guest) ·
firm for a future that will see most pages printed in color, Barron's said, noting that color generates five times the revenues of black and white. Nevertheless, Xerox shares have barely budged over the last two years due to stagnant revenue growth, Barron's noted. At the same time, net income and gross margins have been crimped by rising labor costs, aggressive pricing on some black-and-white office printers and a decline in equipment sales. Still, the shares are trading at just 12.4 times

Ricoh MFPs use 2 bit depth technology with 4 shades per color, vs. Konica's 8 bit depth with 256 shades per color. The Konica color engine (which came from the Minolta side, noted for their color technology) handles color better because it is built to. (What I see when I look at print samples of the same photo: the Konica color looks crisper and more "full bodied"; the Ricoh color looks blotchier and pixelated.) If you have a exacting graphics or marketing client, you can't just skate by. For

Re: Aficio 1022 Document Server
The strike knocked out two copiers, 3 computers, and a cb radio. Office is a public housing authority. The director told me she was on the cb radio the same time the strike hit and a short burst of flames came out of the cb radio. One of our salesmend did not sell them surge protectors at the time of the sale 3 years ago. However, their insurance is replacing the equipment cost (good for me), but while waiting for their money to come in, they want me to recover their files on document server. I

Re: Aficio 1022 Document Server
One of the training instructors at Ricoh told me I could attach a patch cable to the damaged machine and the other end to a similar machine. Type in the IP address from the web browser, and print off the files. Does this sound logical?

Roll Feeders
This is a stupid elementary question, I know but here goes: I found a prospect with an old wide format copier using cut sheets. The could not see a benefit to having a roll feeder. For some reason, I was at a loss for benefits aside from saving on paper which they said they cut their sheets to size. Can someone help me with the benefits of why someone would move to a roll feeder? All I have are: 1. Better for multiple copies. 2. Rotate Sorting 3. Longer size capability. Thanks for any help.

I am trying to impliment smartnet monitor, but cannot get it to report on AS400 printouts, Windows 98 machine,AF220 machine and AP3200 machines in our company. Please advise me on a method to get a full printout of all copies and prints made per person and per machine. What other software except Print Audit can you suggest that will be able to resolve my problem. I have all ricoh products.

Re: Vacation
I went on vacation this month to Myrtle Beach. I may go back next year, but I will remember not to carry the cell phone with me! In one week, 9 calls came from customers wanting additional training, 7 calls from the office because they had questions on leads that were coming in for me, and 1 call from the boss, asking if I was enjoying myself. When he called, I told him to hang on a minute while I lined up my putt. As for sales after the vacation, it was like I never left.

Re: Scan to dxf w/480?
Here's what my higher ups said: Regarding the DWG/DXF/DWF option: Please note that this options allows for two added functions. 1. You can scan directly to DWF 2. You can print DWG/DXF direclty without having to have AutoCAD on your PC. That's it. There is no scanning to DWG or DXF -- since they are both vector file formats and one would need to have third party software to do a raster to vector conversion. It could be that some systems have integrated a raster to vector conversion package as

Yeah, but the 5560 creative is about 30K I don't think I'll guote it against a 250, 351, 450 or even a Canon3220. Like someone said before, I should be the first one to contact the customer and not wait around for them to call me for a "price".

As they are stored in the HD in a propriatary format, the only option, IMHO is the put it into another 1022 or similar machine and print them out, You can see what is on the HD from WIM but you cant print from there. I could be wrong, but I dont think so.

actually on the ricoh color systems in the tech rep modes there is one of the modes that gives you the fill percentage for any given document. I've used it before and it is pretty nifty.

480W APS and Sort Issues
Just did a 480W demo and noticed the following: When you make a copy using APS, the 480W will not scan and copy unless the drawing is an exact size such as A,B,C,D,E. In order to scan a document that is not standard, you have to pick the paper width and then make copy. (Tech services confirmed that this is the way it is supposed to be.) Anyone know anything different as this seems pretty stupid. Secondly, on the old 470W, you could do sets and then the copier would give you the option to copy
