This Week in Copiers 15 Years Ago
Last Week of January 2008
From @Old Glory. I recommend to my reps to walk in with the letter, get it copied onto their letterhead, get it signed, give them a copy and then walk out with the original. I have the rep tell the customer to send it or fax it but then the rep goes straight to the office. We'll pay the cost of registered mail and mail it out that day. "Shouldn't have to babysit"...your right but your customer isn't the only one.....

Savin 3535 Random Prints garbage

Hello all! I have a bank customer with a C3535. Occasionally, when printinig to it, the job will print as garbage. From what their IT guy tells me, it's usually from .pdf files but happened with a word doc the other day. Today, they received a 754 page fax from someone (don't ask me why) but, it all printed as jibberish I don't think the two are related but, who knows. Aslo, looking back at the SC history, it's logging a SC991 every few days. Running all latest firmware and drivers. Thanks in

Konica Minolta Bizhub C451
Help! I need competitive information vs. the C451. I've proposed a Savin C4540, but the Bizhub specs seem like they have the advantage. Are there any holes I can punch in the C451? If not, I may need to change products or continue to sell our company, service, etc... Thanks for any input.

240W Printing Problems
A current 240W customer is considering upgrading to the W2400 but feels the machine is a bit on the tempermental side. The problem only occurs when they print from Catia and only about 20% of the time, The job comes into PB, fails to prints and then redlines the job. If you attempt to put the job status back to pending, it still does not print. If she opens and closes the paper drawer, puts the job status back to pending, it still does not help.

The reviews on the Ricoh are just aas good! Find out what the customer is looking for the wide format to do besides copy. Look for key features where 2400WD will excel: 12x18 paper tray Easy Scan2Folder (no KIP Request) RPCS Driver is great is only printing pdf's and tiffs, maybe combine a 5 user license of e-copy for markups.

If it is also happening when printing faxes then it is definitley a hardware problem, memory, hard drive, or even a controller board issue. However I beleive I recall an update recently that had something to do with this, I think the MFP would print the first page fine but the rest where gibberish???

It will print up to 90 copies per minute even on heavy stock weights up to 300 gm2, with duplexing at full speed. The sheet format is SRA3 (the maximum is 33.2 x 487.7 mm) and there’s provision for up to 11,000 sheets (80 gm2) in the input trays. Resolution will be a “true 1,200 dpi,” and Ricoh says it has developed a new toner that offers both wide colour gamut and fusing at lower temperatures, allowing a wider range of stocks to be handled. It will be able to handle coated papers and labels

Re point 4 - careful on that one. Konica has made significant improvements to their print driver interfaces as well as to their walk-up interface. Over the years that I've been on this board, I often would sing the RPCS driver's praises as a competitive advantage. I can't do that any more. The only thing I don't like is that Konica limits the number of characters you can use to rename the file at the walk-up panel, but other than that I have no quibbles with their usability any more.

Customer Hand Holding
that I am! The only saving grace to this story so far, is that the response the customer gave to me that she does read the fine print on contracts, is that she copied "her boss" into the same email to me!! I'm waiting to see if the blank hits the fan when her boss realizes what she did.

Re: VA Medical Centers and SEWP Contract
You are not alone. I have a hospital that is exclusively Ricoh and has been for many years but they are being pestered by the RBS rep to switch over. We were able to get Ricoh to step in and tell them to back off and they promised to get us comparable pricing. Time will tell whether we can save the account. I fear this is only the beginning for this account and others.

Word from Savin is that they are due to launch this afternoon or Monday morning. I had an order held up because the Savin 8045espf's were discontinued. If I get the launch packet Monday, I will pass it on.

Re: Customer Hand Holding
I concur with Old Glory. If my income rides on my customer I will become a babysitter. I encourage all of my sales reps to handle the letter of intent for them and make sure it gets to the leasing company. Though it is their reposnsibility it will always snowball to us if the lease goes into renewal. To avoid this I make sure all reps use documents with no renewal clause in it just month to month. I know renewal clauses were designed to protect base but in the long run it just leaves "ill-will

the 725 is that a ricoh 3025? Doesn't MB205010b mention the front and rear stay changing. Everytime i see a new one something has been modded. Firsts the gears then the toner inlet... I think high up in ricoh are having a battle between tcru units and engineer rebulit units. Many of the recent units including this one which can use the old style units with a few sp mode changes. Also the athena and appolon have a look at them you can see they were lined up to be tcru..
