The Week in Copiers 15 Years Ago This Week In 2005

I'm connected to a ton of copier sales people on Linkedin.  For the last ten days I've been counting those connections that have changed where they work.  First I check to see if when they left and where they went.  In these last days I've counted 14 that have left the industry, almost all of these changes were in June and July.  I would suspect that most were laid off due to COVID. Twenty percent of those that left were in the position less than 12 months

Enjoy these awesome threads from 15 years ago this week!

Xerox 2nd-Qtr Profit More Than Doubles on Tax

Guest ·
in costs during the second quarter to eliminate an unspecified number of jobs. As Xerox shifts to more digital products, sales of its traditional analog ``light-lens'' copiers are falling as the company takes them out of service. Xerox is focusing more on color printing, selling related supplies and leasing networked systems. It also is offering consulting services to help other companies manage their documents. ``We expect Xerox's company-wide revenue growth to continue to be pressured by an

Savin 2820 vs. Xerox M24

·
I'm working with a prospect no a new color system. They want to purchase from us b/c Xerox basically orphaned them. But, Xerox is now back in the deal and proposing the M24. This system looks very inferior to the Savin C2820, speed, etc... However, it appears to be pretty cheap. Does anyone have any competitive info or information on this one?

Re: Is anyone having problems with the 350/1035/2035 series?

Ricoh's mid volume machines are the weak point for Ricoh. I work on Konica minolta and those are no picnic either. We use the BEI services compensation plan for our bonuses. The worst copier according to the BEI report is our 5645 Lanier model (Ricoh equivalent???). The only mid volume products that produce good revenue and reliability are the Bizhub c350/450 models.

Ricoh 2232C and Mac OS 10.3 Operatins System

·
I have a customer with a Ricoh 2232C and uses Mac OS 10.3 Operatins System. They can print fine from most applications but when printing from Quark Express 6.5 or Photoshop 7.0 or CS, it prints out dozens of pages of junk. Does anyone have a solution or experienced a similar problem. Ricoh does not seem to know.

It goes on a Ricoh AF3228C. Ricoh USA makes the DF standard for a AF3228C. Did you order one of these? Maybe main frame hasn't arrived yet? I found the DF82 under the AF3228C "options & consumables" section on the Ricoh Europe website: http://www.ricoh-europe.com/pr...kgroup/af3228c.xhtml

I've sold one of these. It does work great. Accomodates heavy paper weight even when duplexing. No 11" x 17", but standard duplex and low cost per page. Here's the Savin brochure. Sold it for $1430, we sell all of our printers low and let them eat as much as they can in our market. We pummel HP with the savings once we get into an account and are in the process of putting new Savin units in all of our existing accounts using HP knowing that the word will spread and soon people will beat down

Matt: Thanks. Pricing on copier, RADF and finisher would be helpful. However, I don't doubt that the machine is cheaper. What would be very useful would be any competitive information as far as performance. I can create a cross product comparison based on specs, but some actual first hand knowledge would be great. Also, I recently heard from a reliable source that Xerox does not charge more for 11"x17" where we charge 2 clicks to their one. My plan is to explain that whenever you pay less for

I believe there are four of these and we were having problems with these in the beginning with the Ricoh product line. If yours is the Savin, you may have received some older stock that did not have the mods.

If the machine is an sp, could you scan them as a pdf and send as a print job? This should avoid clicking blank pages as copies.

We received a 2022 DMAP shipment from another dealer, and this was part of the prize when it arrived. No packing list, etc. Have contacted Ricoh with serial number. We'll see how long we keep it before someone wants it back.

I service the c450 and c350/351 KM models. The tech can adjust the machine for double click or single click for ledger. We set ours for double click on ledger. The customer usually never knows the difference. Only one problem account with this and that was at a graphics shop with heavy ledger usage. The c450 can print a ledger usage report that we adjust his billings for. Mr. Soprano
