This Week in the Copier Industry 15 Years Ago, The Third Week in January 2004

The Patriots are now on a 14 game winning streak. They will go into the Super Bowl on the longest streak of any team since the '72 Dolphins. And Peyton Manning is putting together what might be the best postseason for a QB in NFL history. As for you folks that are picking an NFC team, you are out of your mind. Everyone knows that the "real Super Bowl" is this week's AFC Championship game. GO PATS!!

I don't think the Eagles need to put too much hope in a bunch of 4th and 26's to win the game. I don't think Carolina will screw up on a 4th and long like the Packers did.

Patriots are now in the lead, can we get a few more votes before we close the voting for the weekend?

4th and 26 will get ya fired. Just ask the old def coordinator of GB!!

01/14/2004 By: www.bta.org Ricoh Corp. has introduced the Ricoh Priport JP4500. A high-volume digital duplicator that provides publishing features, computer connectivity and a low cost per page, Ricoh describes the Priport JP4500 as "ideal for schools, non-profits or any businesses lookingfor high print quality at a low cost." The JP4500 is equipped with a retry paper feed mechanism. From bond and NCR paper to construction stock, the Priport JP4500 can handle sheets up to 11-inch by 17-inch...

I have never used, my take on this is that you can select a file, tiff or giff and have it lie resident in the properties for the overlay feature. I have tried this with tiffs and giffs and it has not allowed me to saveit as an .OSV (I believe that is the extenstion). My understanding is that it can be used like the watermark feature. meaning we can keep a picture in the background of every page. I am not proclaiming to be correct with this assumption. If someone has more knowledge and the...

Re: Form Overlay on 2022/2027 Printing

If you have an image file that you want to use as an overlay, the first thing you have to do is print it using the RPCS driver and print to an overlay file...under job type...then you can call it from the RPCS driver and add it to the document in question. It's great for logo's, even generic letter head.

No...but they should get an original idea one of these days!

What ever do you mean Mike? The Connectrix theme was original. Wasn't it? JG

I am having trouble with the motor that feeds into the staple joogger not turning on ever. It is a new install. Maybe it is firmware levels or maybe just a defective finisher. JG

I have a customer who has the 1013F and the 4104 MFP. His biggest complaint with the HP is that it is printer first and copier or fax second. He claims it takes him several steps just to make one copy and that drives him crazy.

I have had serious troouble with the 840 before. I only go with the smaller one or saddle stich. The problems I ran into with the 840 never were able to be resolved, even with the engineers.

What is the new equipment that is being launched?

I have two in the field with no problems. Did you know that most finsihers from Ricoh are made by Sindo Corp or Sindo Ricoh in South Korea. [This message was edited by Docusultant on Wed January 21 2004 at 05:22 PM.]

I doubt that anywone will get blamed, I bet they are running some kind of tests

You are unbelievable with the tidbits of information you have come across in you endeavors. And, I mean unbelievable in a very good way! AMAZING!!! Thanks for the data. Ironically, there are certain people out there that will favor us when we share neat data like that.

Two new color products that will replace the CMF 7000. A 28 & 32 ppm B2C Color product with Saddle Stitcher.

Gee, it wasn't me It had to be someone who had a dealer code to input registrations. Hey, can I vote for myself?

Thanx!! Here is the link and the page. Peripheral Product specification Sindoricoh can provide is not limited to what is displayed in this homepage. Sindoricoh Designs and manufactures products to meet specification required from different partners. Sindo Ricoh

I am having trouble getting a part number for the main controll board for this SR840. Looks like the machine it is attatched to determines the board number. How is that possible. They are all the same number aren't they? Art, are the ones you have in the field on AF1060's? JG

Mike, I bet it was all three of them working together. The whole lot of them are trouble ya know. That gos double for that Art guy! JG

I have the same situation going on. We seem to be connecting to the LDAP server, but like Jay, no user data. And I'm getting no help from Ricoh TSC. I especially don't like the condescending attitude I get from them. (Sorry...just had to say that.)

Yeah they are like that especially Tony. When they don't know how to do something or something is wrong TSC gets like that. I think we have more knowledge here on the P4P Hotel than most of them at TSC.

We did get it working a while back. You probably need to turn authentication ON. That was our problem. Attached is our set-up.

This is one of those polls I'm glad not to even get a vote. It seems that Art has 75% of the vote, while Art has the other 25% of the vote. I think the winner may be Art? (Yeah Art you can vote for yourself...I did)

I think we tried authentication, but we've tried so much, I've lost track. I'll check into it.

lol

Double checked all three of mine are 850's sorry.

Try call Greater Phili (215) 788-7111 Glen

I am about to remove a fiery controller from a 551...actually two of them. Would you be interested in one of them?

NO!!

Individual documents can be password protected on scan, but I don't know if you can view them from the web interface once they have been password protected. Why would a health care organization be storing sensitive docs like that on the document server when it is intended to store more generic forms etc...? I would think that they would rather scan them to files. GT

Can’t decide Art, Art or Art

yes (the answer is always yes) but it will only do it manualy. JG

Graham, They don't want to store them on document server, they only want to place them there temporarily so that they can retrieve them back to a computer and store them to file or cd, then delete those files. That process would require no software install such as Scan Router does. I believe you can view them and retrieve them even if they are password protected as long as you have the password. The main question is "can the 2035 be set (defaulted)to require a password for each scan before...

I don't think you can set it to default to require a password....Why not just use scan to email?? That doesn't require any software install like scan router does? Seems like doing it the way they want to do would be somewhat cumbersome, and besides that, off the top of my head, I believe that you would have to sell them DTB pro to properly retrieve the documents and convert them out of the copier file format to PDF files.

Maybe, there is a better hardware config here. Why not propose the 2022SP? Propose it just as a scanning solution, then you can scan directly to the folder with out the need of Scan Router. 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. To me thats les that $140 a month for a scanner solutiona nd I believe the 2022SP scans at 36ipm. Is that right. If you also...

If the goal is to limit the software installation, passwords can be added after storage, so why couldn't they just monitor the doc server and add passwords post scan?

The 2022 S/P scans at 51 ipm.

Amen

Incredible, how many service calls? Art

With the new 2035/45SP with the fax modem and the SAF memory. I told my customer about paperless faxing, they were open to the idea. They then asked this question in reference to having the faxes received electronically.How do we know when the faxes...
