After loading the card readers onto the MFP and loading Equitrac, when the machine is "awakened" from sleep mode the touch screen goes "white". Only after the customer does a hard shutdown of the MFP does the machine boot up properly. Any ideas of what could be causing this issue?? Getting no help from Ricoh or Equitrac (Nuance).

Re: Ricoh adds Mandatory Plotworks to LED Wide Formats
John ·
Just want to put in my 2 cents. Obama is not responsible for the decrease in wide format sales. Thank Bush and company for that. They had their dinner (profits) and left the mess for the next administration to clean up. Let's leave politics out of the forum and just talk about the subject at hand, Ricoh's stupid idea to force/include Plotworks on the monochrome wide format units. By the way, Plotworks has almost no scanning utilities. It is primarily plotting software.

Re: How do you feel about the industry?
Meshyf ·
As a new sales rep with no prior outside sales experience this industry is insane. Going door to door cold calling isn't working. I don't know if it is just my approach or buyers have changed but the sellers haven't. My dealer is super old school. I asked for a recommendation on some crm software and they said use you're brain and a rollodex. Technology had dramatically changed the service side of things but the sales side is still in the 1950s.

Well the month is over and we went through some serious changes. Just kidding not a single rep met their quota. They held a cold call competition. Which led to a bunch of bad calls just to win the prize. Finally the almost sales manager is offering to pay for shipping on mailers but still offer no real plan to increase sales. I know this industry offers its sales reps a chance to earn six figures but it isn't possible at this dealer. What makes a great dealership? Now that I have a years
