Re: Leasing Company Copiers are Underwater
Found out today, that Assurant does cover floods, I actually got a document from them about their services and I'll post it here later. Seems like most BOP policies will not cover floods, and Assurant will. However this leads to another issue, when leasing companies ask for "proof of insurance" and get a copy of the rider, do they not check to see if their equipment is covered in case of flood? If they miss this and do not charge for insurance is it then their loss and not the lessee? Some...

Re: Patent infringement for scanning from copier.
Thank you for your response, I shouldn't have called it a scam. I have read some of the details of the patent, and I'm sure that someone does believe it to be a legitimate claim. Thanks agian.

Re: Data Destruction
This is an interesting topic. I have always had an interest in computer forensics and spent many hours a lot of forums. I have used many different software programs to test their performance. I have recovered all sorts of data from hard drives and removable media. There are a bunch of programs out there that claim they can recover data some work and many do not. The only way to truly eliminate data is to pulverize the hard drive to dust. There are 2 ways that data can be recovered through...

Re: JP 8000 Printing Borders
From: Jim Stocker Sent: 5/3/2002 12:13 PM Just a little correction. The drums for the JP8000 ARE different than the JP5000 (an ink saving scraper system being one of the more beneficial enhancements). You have to program a TCII to take either or, not both. I have the same problem with the drums. It seems Ricoh is importing A3 sized drums, not Ledger. This would account for the difference in image area along the horizontal. The only current fix, TSC is aware of this, is to replace the A3...

Re: Points added to lease rate factors
We do our own, we have the power to negoiate with the leasing companies for the best rate. However the less knowledgable reps rely on our lease admiistrator. I believe they are getting hammered for a few extra points (I hope not). Business is tough enough, owners should pass along the real rates. On another note, I was told that our "major lease vendor" CIT raised the 60 month rate factor for 20K to .0199 when they were at .0192. They claim they are not making money on the residuals, as of...

Re: How True!
Born in '64, dittos on the stroll. Rode my bike everywhere until I could drive. Even rode it into parked car once and dented the fender. I owned up (because that's what we were supposed to do) and went to the door and told the man. My dad paid for the repair, and I had to work it off with dad. I was more afraid of what my parents would do to me than the police. Only had to worry about grades if I made lower than "B", 'cause that was failing in my parent's eyes.

Re: Need Everones Input for a Solution for Client
Working, yes. Stumped, yes. You've got me puzzled at how to accomplish the automatic batch file renaming. I'm aware that there are various shareware and downloadable programs out there that claim to be able to do this, but isn't part of the problem that every fax will be laid out differently? So, then, you wouldn't be able to set a field rule for a zonal OCR. So back to being stumped. As for automatic capture, index, and filing with full rights, check out Prism Software's DocRecord.

Re: Email 2 Ricoh America Corp about RBS
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the low, low, prices some people have seen from RBS are not below "cost". They may be below the price Ricoh sells them to you, but as long as they are at or above the actual production cost, there's not a legal issue. Also, it seems that the only entity that could file a claim against "Dumping" would be a manufacturer of the same product. In the example you posted, it was apple juice. To make a similar claim for MFPs, we'd need to find a...

First is this your actual reply to the account looking at thoseToshiba products listed (455 & 305)? If yes and they have a great history with the Toshiba product, telling them there a "bottom dweller" would make anyone think that you're only wanting to sell them what YOU'RE offering.

From the Ricoh's I've played around with, you can see all of the file names in the document server, but require authentication to print/send the file. Canon's units can have up to 100 mailboxes that can be individually named. Files are then securely stored inside each mailbox so that non-authenticated users cannot see what's inside someone else's mailbox.

Re: Canon U.S.A. to Launch Océ ColorWave 900 at PRINT 13
I'm probably about to prove my ignorance of wide format. 6,000 sq.ft. per hour is 50 d-sized a minute, correct?
Reply
Re: Canon U.S.A. to Launch Océ ColorWave 900 at PRINT 13
Here's the math: 6,000 Square Feet / 60 minutes=100 square feet per minute Divide that by 3 (if your wide format is 36") to get linear feet per minute = 33.3 Divide that by 2 (since D is 24" long) to get 16.67 per minute This machine's rated speed is 12,000 sq feet an hour,or 200 square a minute. Divide that by 3.5 (since the machine is 42" width) to get 57.14 linear feet per minute. If you are printing D size prints, divide that by 2 to get 28.57 per minute.

Re: What does your Company do when equpiment comes in Damaged

What came next with some dealers in the Oz market, was a guarantee that the client's copy costs would not rise annually, above a maximum of 10% which most clients would agree to. Or that it would only rise by the CPI, which these days is a joke of a deal, as it is only around 2%.

I've only been around 9 years, but when I first started, we were selling the old Ricoh AP3800CMF (A3 color printer w/ a scanner kit attached to make it an MFP) since the 1224c/1232c was such a bust. In our Service Agreements, black toner was included in the CPP, but color toner was billable.

The CPC rate had an equipment portion attached to it so more clicks funded more equipment. If the CPC was normal plus .003, 10,000 clicks added $30/month which would fund $1,500 additional. Some customers that weren't willing to pay $1,500 would agree to 10,000 more...
