Re: Ten Things You Need to Know Before You Lease or Buy a Ricoh MP 501SP or MP 601SP
I suggest calling your local Ricoh Dealer (not direct), because dealers can offer better service, better support and they support your local economy. I am sure that varies with location.

Re: Scan to Google Drive
You should be able to set it up as a direct scan to folder. Just put in the path to shared google drive folder that is located on a pc. You can then scan to that folder only. Using ICE you would be able to see all of the folders that are in Google Drive.

Re: Scan to Google Drive
Art is correct. Like Dropbox or OneDrive, you can scan to a folder in the user directory that is linked to the cloud account. ICE allows you to scan to the cloud without having the PC in the middle and allows users to have access to any cloud account, not just the one on a PC. The workaround described would require the cloud app folder to be installed on the PC therefore any user would need to have a PC with said cloud app running on it.

Re: Four Hour Support for On-Site Service "Does it Really Mean Anything Anymore?"
Our company is known first and foremost for its service. We have a competitor from the next state over who sells the same product line but uses generic supplies and might not show up for 3 days when the customer has a problem. They will quote $0.00 nothing for the service plan and promise the world. They are hard to sell against on price but for every deal we lose to them we probably pick up two disgruntled accounts of theirs.

Re: Four Hour Support for On-Site Service "Does it Really Mean Anything Anymore?"
I think it still matters. Fisher makes a good point. A lot of times we may lose based on the price but pick up a couple accounts from the competitor who is doing a lousy job for the customer.

Re: Four Hour Support for On-Site Service "Does it Really Mean Anything Anymore?"
I hear you on that, I just picked up one today from that same vendor. But it was for the maintenance portion of the account. Doesn't help me know, since they have two devices that are less than two years old. All I'm stating is that we tout how good we are until we're blue in the face. Maybe we need a list of anti references for those dealers that don't perform good service?

Re: Oce PlotWave 450 Scan Question
That is Fast! In my experience, the limiting factor in scanning w.f. originals isn't the hardware, it's the ability to load, position, and un-load the originals. I like the way my Savin machines can be easily converted to a "flat" scanner, which when used with a SureStack, can really scan fast! You are only limited by your ability to load the next original.

Re: Oce PlotWave 450 Scan Question
Oce' machines are weak. Expensive and a terrible user interface compared to a Ricoh or KIP.

Re: Scan/Print from USB memory
When it was new and somewhat unique I talked about it a lot but didn't find many applications. Now I don't even bring it up inless I'm at something like a church or real estate office...someplace with the potential of a non-resident employee or volunteer. Even then there are other ways to accomplish the task that are just as easy, if not easier. I'd love to hear about applications I'm missing out on.

Re: Scan/Print from USB memory
Thanks for the replies, much appreciated. Hearing common feedback - it's a potential conversation starter and easy function for end-users, but relatively narrow use case (machine loses network connection, or a non-networked visitor needs print/scan access).

Re: Here's an interesting question I received about Ricoh scanning
No sure if I understand the question. Are you scanning to a server at a remote location of the same company i.e. satellite office? You would be able to do it if they have a VPN setup between the two sites. If they do not have a VPN I believe you are out of luck.

Re: Here's an interesting question I received about Ricoh scanning
No you can not scan SMB directly to a folder on a server at two different LAN's. The only way you could scan to a folder on a server is to setup a FTP server on the server and open the Firewall to allow the FTP server to function.

This ^^^^^ This also works internally if you ever run into an older machine that will not scan to windows 8 or 2012 Server.

Re: Here's an interesting question I received about Ricoh scanning
For Windows 8 and Server 2012 you can upgrade the firmware to fix this problem. Another option is to install Dropbox at both locations and have them sync to that folder. This way you scan to the local folder by SMB and with Dropbox it will automatically sync to the other location.

Re: Selling Professional Services for SMB Accounts, Worth it or Not Worth it!
As an independent dealer we are definitely giving away too much Pro Services in the SMB space. We kind of us it as a sales pitch against the National vendors who almost always charge Pro Services. Right now we are starting to give the customers invoice for many Pro Services that we deliver but offset it with a credit, so that they can see it's value. This will set up a future invoice where there will be no credit. We leave it up to the sales rep how he sells the workflow and how much...

Re: Selling Professional Services for SMB Accounts, Worth it or Not Worth it!
interesting...on no commissions for pro-services. What have you seen for the price per hour of Pro-Services from the National Vendors (direct)? Thus what happens when you have almost no margins in a workflow solution? With me, there was only $200 from cost to MSRP with a workflow solution, are you then selling over MSRP?

Re: New Ricoh MP C401 C401SR Spec Review
We bought one of the C300 when they were clearing them out and imagine my surprise to learn we also had to put toner in it! All the other printer based models come with starter cartridges. Anyway, the toner cost more than the fricken machine!!

Re: NSI Auto Store Installs
Art: Not sure if this would help but there is a setting in the ABBYY componenet for allow pass through. This should allow the original file to pass through. I'm not sure if this would happen before the OCR process or after. If it happened before, the final product could be appended to differentiate the OCR'd document or directed to a different location.
Reply
Re: NSI Auto Store Installs
Lots of experience w NSI. First, never worry about slowing the sales cycle - get it right up front. Second, large files always require additional fire power to OCR, I have seen many happy customers after adding addtl OCR engines from NSI. My recommendation is to engage a PS resource or NSI themselves, you will have a happyer customer as a result.

No experience with Output Manager, but have been VERY pleased with PaperCut so far. We have an installation in Phase 1 right now with 19 MFPs, all embedded with PaperCut (prox card authentication), XMedius Fax Server, PSI Capture Intelligent Routing, and DocAudit. Should be interesting to say the least!

Re: NSI Auto Store Installs
Perhaps you could have engaged your professional services group who would have asked specific questions of the client to determine what their workflow would be and ultimately the configuration of the software. They could have helped you avoid those two issues if they had the opportunity to speak to the client prior to install.

Re: NSI Auto Store Installs
Honestly, I don't think your customer has a reasonable expectation. OCRing large documents takes time.....it doesn't matter what OCR engine you are using. I played programming NSI for the first time yesterday in our showroom and the small scans I was doing were instant. 20 pages of invoices....not so fast. It is what it is.

Re: Global Scan NX Server 32 Question
Art, I never did a lot with Global Scan when I was at Ricoh Business Systems \ Boston but I have done some work with OCR and large format. It is not an easy task. The amount of data that has to be processed, especially since most of the Wide Format is drawings and not text. If you can set a specific zone to OCR maybe it would work better. But at least the last time I looked at it, it didn't turn out very successful. Again, I didn't use GlobalScan, so maybe it will turn out better for you.

Re: Global Scan NX Server 32 Question
Hi Art, The only piece of software that I can think can do this is eCopy ShareScan. The back end is completely customizable, so you should be able to configure every scan to auto rotate before getting dumped into the watch folder. Most manufacturers are eCopy authorized, so I would talk to your dealer account manager to confirm this.

Czech Thanx for this, however the device we want to use does not support eCopyShare Scan.

Re: Need Some Help with Canon Solutions
Art, There are several options regarding scan workflows on the imageRUNNER Advanced devices. Uniflow is a Canon owned option. Also, an embedded or Scan Station from eCopy just to name a couple.

Re: Need Some Help with Canon Solutions
Hey Art, As far as I know, NSI Autostore is not supported by Canon. Canon does work really well with eCopy ShareScan though. Depending on the scan workflow you need, a lot of the functions are built into the 2nd generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE platform. For example, Scan to Word, OCR, etc. You can enhance these workflows using the Quick Menu button to create 1-touch shortcuts. I use eCopy ShareScan if customers require Zonal OCR.
