I order the Smart Op Panel with almost every one of these I sell and get nothing but rave reviews. The only exceptions are with customers that are using or considering using embedded solutions since Ricoh has yet to tell us that embedded solutions will work with the Smart Op Panel.

Out of all the units I've sold I've only ordered the smart op panel 3 times. So, if I'm hearing right, the new 03 series of black systems will have the smart op panel that is unlocked? meaning no browser unit is required and it will be a true android tablet?

Change is good, right? I'm going to change is even better. Being the same old you and doing the same old thing when presenting copiers can be prove to be a bad thing.

The fact-finding process gets interrupted or stopped. 2.) You come across like a dog salivating over fresh meat. 3.)
