This Week in Copiers Fifteen Years Ago
Third Week of January 2008
The Ten Yen Trip
I guess this could have been my first blog! Back in 2002 I wrote a journal while on a Ricoh sponsored trip to Japan. I found it today buried in the forums when I did some searching on threads from 2003. It does bring back awesome memories and I thought it might be a good read for all. Please enjoy and feel free to comment at the end in the reply section

Canon Sales Figures

I could have sworn I read this info in the "Copier news weekend roundup" but my search through the archives has turned up nothing... The news piece I was looking for said something about Canon's sales, broken down by IKON and CBS and mentioned their growth in CBS. Am I going crazy or are my searches just not finding it?

Re: Postscript and Windows Authentication

Thanks Art. We are using simple authentication here and found that it does work when using direct tcp/ip printing but not when going through a print server. The other brands of copiers that we deal with (Toshiba, Sharp, Kyocera) don't have that problem with their PS drivers. Interesting to see what the bug in their driver is. Thanks no_dice

I've got the same problem with trying to print to a C4500 or a C410. The problem is likely their PS driver. Ricoh is aware of the problem (I demo'ed the problem to some regional sales types) and they should get back to me. If it isn't fixed we probably won't buy Ricoh. If I see a fix, I'll post it. no_dice

job sep will allow a sheet of paper to feed from a different cassette, this is usually used to seperate print jobs, not sure about copy jobs. However I did set this up for someone on an AP9000 Ricoh Printer. It is not involved and can be done in 15 minutes or so.

Re: Job Seperator Sheet
Yeah, I'm actually working on trying to help another rep with this and that was my first thought. They have a Xerox now and like this, I'm going to try to introduce them to the benefits of "Hold Print", but I wanted to make sure that I could say "yeah our's does that to, but it may be better if you did this". Thanks.

Heard last night that in a Regional Meeting Nori Goto confirmed that the Savin Brand will stay, as their is too much turmoil. Supposedly Nori stated that the 3 brand strategy is good...for now Also heard form a high level friend in Canon, involved with acquisitions, not to count them out on a IKON purchase either.

For printing, Right-click the printer, go to properties, advanced, Separator Page... Click Browse and select your separator page, usually PCL.SEP Works for every windows printer.

Keep in mind that every page will be a click added to the maintenance agreement. Every single page print becomes a two-page print.

Although you said that perfectly correctly, I'll add that that's one additional sheet per Document. So as Old Glory said, if you have a lot of 1 page documents, you could see your total copy count climb by 50% or more. If you print a lot of 100+ page documents, you won't even notice. It's just a good idea to let your customer know about this up front (gee, isn't the convenience of this seperator sheet worth the extra 0.01? )

KIP 3000
Does anyone have any competitive information on the 2400wd vs. the KIP 3000? I have a prospect that is looking at the KIP because they said the reviews are better and is fairly set on it, but I don't want to let it go if there are some benefits of the Savin.
