The golden age of copiers and some may argue when that was, however I had the opportunity to be in the golden age of the business. It's my belief that the Golden Age of copier started in 1980 and ran till 2010. My reasoning starts with the mass production of plain paper copiers in the early eighties, then the introduction of the digital copiers in the nineties and lastly the coming of age for digital color copiers. Technology which brought about so many changes in those 30 years has taken it's toll with advanced digital process (email, pdf, OCR, document management) that has reduced our clicks for the last 12 years. Change is good and we need to Change!

Xerox Unveils "Green" Paper
Art Post (Guest) ·
STAMFORD, Conn. - Xerox Corp. on Monday unveiled a new paper it says uses half as many trees as traditional paper and reduces mailing costs.

Something you wrote sounds strangely familiar, but I can only give you a lead to follow up on. A year or so ago, I sat in on a webinar conducted by John Kiefer and Jon Standaert, Ricoh digital support representatives and training experts extraordinaire. I could swear that they demonstrated a toolbar that would create the hot folder with automatic print functionality you want. For the life of me I can't think of the name of the program and nothing I see on Ricoh's solutions site sounds familiar

Re: How Can I Solve this Problem?
Ok, I tested my theory and it does not automate the above scenario. The only thing that does work is to scan to folder and have a shortcut of the PS driver in the folder. This way, users could just select the PDFs they scanned, drag and drop to the PS icon, and collect the prints. Another thought, if the customer needs to scan mixed batches, I am assuming letter and legal, then why recommend an MFP that will not automatically separate the image sizes? Doesn't this lead to more time wasted

I love a good software hunt :-) Art, I still can't think of the utility that the Ricoh guys demo'ed, but I did a little search around a few download sites, and I found a couple of potential candidates for you. "Hot Folder Printer 1.2" handles image files, including TIFFs. http://www.cnet.com.au/downloa...384,10397067s,00.htm OR http://software.techrepublic.c...ad.aspx?docid=208515 AutoPrint Prints pdfs from a hot folder. http://software.techrepublic.com.com/download.aspx

How Can I Solve this Problem?

Is there anyway we can scan a file to a folder and have it print to a printer automatically, or can we scan2print with any of our ricoh devices or anyone know of any inexpensive third third party solutions.

Here's the issue.... we need to met a budget with mp2000spf, the one problem with the mp2000spf is that is will not copy mized size orginals, the customer intends to scan all documents anyway, so the thinking is to scan to a "hot folder" and then see if there is sometime of program that will print the file to a network mfp or printer asap, thus negating the need for copy of mixed size originals!

Re: How Can I Solve this Problem?
The only "hot folder" outside of EFI controller software that I am aware of is the "hot folder Print Queue when you PDF direct print." I don't believe this leads to automation of the process. If you shared a PS printer icon as a folder, you maybe able to print the scanned images if they always PDFs. I have not tried this, but I can this afternoon and see if it works. Basically, your going to scan to 2 destinations - a shared folder and a shared PS printer "icon". It sounds like it would

Fight fire with fire. Instead of just the Ricoh Logo on our cards, maybe we should put Ricoh Americas Corp...That's whose products we sell.
