Re: e-STUDIO 306LP Question
The e306LP offers a colour scanner. The scans can be either blue or black based upon your selection.

Re: e-STUDIO 306LP Question
That's good right? I was just curious if when scanning the blue the scanned documents would be very light even if you were scanning with the black mode.

Re: e-STUDIO 306LP Question
Images are dark and fully formed assuming black is selected as your scan setting.

Re: e-STUDIO 306LP Question
Does anyone have the MSRP and dealer cost for the Toner, Drum, and Developer for this system? Thanks, Jake

Re: e-STUDIO 306LP Question
While the e306LP is an innovative product it is unlikely to displace any colour unit sales. As colour is more than half of what I sell, this leaves this product with a declining mono colour market to appeal to. The RD30 recycle unit makes the price of the solution much more than an equivalent eStudio 306. The e306LP does not have a stapling option. I find that most customers are interested in the ideas of ecology with their copiers but they are not willing to pay a premium for it.

Re: Samsung Electronics Launches Business Core™ Printing Solutions for SMBs
Art, I have worked with and demo'd many of the individual components, and I had heard that Samsung was coming out with a bundle but this is the first I have seen it. The "Secuthru" Lite is a server less follow me printing, pretty cool. The Google Drive (Cloud App) worked pretty well too. Vince

Re: What's the application that will cause Capture to really grow in the MFP space
Geeesh, you ask a great question! I really not sure if there is an answer for that. All of my accounts scan whether it's scan2email or scan2folder. Most are then moving those documents to a place on the server or another pc where they are stored in a windows alpha tree folder structure. When I speak about entering meta data at the copier, so that they can perform a better search, it seems to have turned them off. Many users feel that they can find the documents that they've scanned and don't...

Re: What's the application that will cause Capture to really grow in the MFP space
So, you mentioned features...maybe the ability to just scan the document into a single repository while entering no meta data, no barcodes, and then the ability to find that document. I know it sounds kinda crazy but wouldn't that be the holy grail?

Re: What's the application that will cause Capture to really grow in the MFP space
Art: I certainly agree based on my past experience, people don't want to spend a lot of time typing information at the control panel. And I think I agree for some applications, having "auto-sorting" is the ideal. But does anyone see the need for scanning and pulling data into an application for analysis not just indexing?

Re: What's the application that will cause Capture to really grow in the MFP space
I actually have that application for two current prospects and even though both will benefit from the improved workflow, one is stalled and the other is scheduled for Feb time line. On the application that is stalled we need to extract data from a form and populate the data in another format, the ideal format would be excel, however my support people are suggested MS365, and that's where the deal has stalled and I guess it's stalled because the solution would not be one that generates a lot...

Re: What's the application that will cause Capture to really grow in the MFP space
Well we might be able to make these sort of applications easier for you. We have a tool that automatically identies what type of form is being scanned and can store it automatically based on rules. We also can automatically extract data and then pass it along to a destination app like Excel, MS 365, Oracle or something else.

Re: What's the application that will cause Capture to really grow in the MFP space
End users will not embrace a solution that asks them to enter all the meta data themselves nor should they. It is simply not productive. In a busy environment you cannot have people fumbling with a virtual keyboard to input data for a scan job while the line behind them grows. This is where software comes into play which will "read" the scanned image and capture relevant metadata to attach to the document for indexing in the DMS. Relieving the user of this burden and getting the most...

Re: Ricoh Distributed Scan Management with new 03 series
DSM will let you centrally manage scan buttons on an mfp (that supports DSM) to a folder, email, or SharePoint from a Windows 2008 R2 Server. Access to the buttons is controlled with AD. No OCR functionality but it is now an option on the mfp itself. No more individual address books to worry about. Ricoh announced support back in 2010 but unfortunately very few models have it.

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.
Reply
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.

No, there are two different companies that she owns with two different LAN's and servers.

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: 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.

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.
