One thing the PageScope Mobile App does allow you to do is scan back to your mobile device were AirPrint

This is something her predecessor didn't believe in and saw thru all of the hype. If anyone knows of a way to compete with these "unbelievable deals" please let me know.

I can't stand dealing with people like that. Such a pain in the ass. I recently had a lady who refused to see me when I came by, return my calls and return my emails. She went and bought a new machine from someone else but her lease had already renewed. She immediately started calling and emailing me about how to fix it. When I explained to her she didn't provide notice to the leasing company she said the lease wasn't valid because the person who signed it didn't work there anymore.... I...

Re: Should Ricoh Offer a Rebate When Dealers Buy the New Smart Op Panel?

We have probably put it on 3 machines since it came out andthe funny thing was it was our sales rep who is almost 70 years old. He loves that panel.My younger guys could care less it seems. King of backwards in my mind. I haven't quite found the practicality of it other than making everything "look" like a tablet. If they could make it as functional as the new Samsung 10.1 tablet on the MFP's it may become more practical. Just my $0.02
