We received in from are used copier wholesaler a Ricoh C3000 with the dataoverwrite option. My question relates to when you what to fax out a document and have to manually enter the fax number you have to enter it in 2 times before it sends out. Is this because the dataoverwrite option or is this a simple fax setting that needs to be changed. Also can the dataoverwrite option be removed from the machine as most of our customers do not need the option.

Selling Copiers "Selling in a Slow Economy" Twenty Eights years in the business, I started my copier selling career in 1982. I have seen the tough times, the good times and these times come and gone more than a few times. Here' s a few things that I try to do so I can take advantage of an economic slowdown, not saying we're in one however the decision making process that used to take a few weeks now seems to be almost 4-6 weeks. Please comment is you're experiencing this, I would like to hear

I had a customer call this morning about the fax option on a Savin 9050spf. He says when receiving a fax, the machine will print out the first page only, but not the rest of the pages. The faxes receive to memory for printing, but will not print more than the first page, and the other pages are deleted. Any suggestions?

After reading this, it sounds like Canon is trying to duplicate what Xerox did in the 1990's. Sooner or later it will come back to bite them in the rear, just like it did Xerox.

with a specific program, only to find out that the program was written to work with a specific HP driver, and nothing else will make it happy. Since there aren't a lot of Ricoh-specific features on a SP4110n, maybe just pointing the old driver at the new printer (and re-naming it Ricoh SP4110n) will make the whole problem disappear? If all of the IT gods are rolling their eyes at me right now, I humbly ask forgiveness for being a "stupid salesman", but honestly, I've seen this work before. Good

We sell OmniPage. Konica bundles it with PaperPort for their Unity suite, but you can buy it standalone. www.nuance.com . Easy to use and good support from the Nuance folks.

I wish customers could give you the whole story the first time they call. I found out that this issue only happens when the customer is receiving a fax from one vendor. They would receive multiple copies of the same page from this one vendor.There would be an intermittent disconnect of the handshake between the two faxes. I suggested they put a line conditioner on the fax line. They already have that. They have an older Savin 4035spf that the faxes do receive from this one vendor. I also

Another "home-grown" solution like PrintMail is/was. The AIIM/OnDemand announcement says they are targeting it at the transpromo market. Just getting on my soapbox here: I really have to wonder why Ricoh invests its research and development in creating a VDP product when there are so many excellent products and plug-ins out there created by software/VDP experts. These experts are only too happy to partner with hardware experts, and most of the hardware experts are only too happy to partner with

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't most of "Ricoh's" solutions, re-labeled third-party stuff? Except for GlobalScan and DocumentMall (which was actually a seperate entity but wholly owned by Ricoh if I remember right or was that eCabinet?) third-party agreements? Typically, we find out soon after a launch that the "new" addition to the line-up is a tried-and-true but by a different name. Cost and Security Manager was EquiTrac, Print Director is PrintAudit, etc. I may have the associations wrong

If this product is like the older VDP products from Ricoh, and I think it is, then they are relabeld versions of products from XLPrint. XLPrint

This proves Old Glory's point: The press release from Ricoh that Art posted elsewhere (http://p4photel.com/eve/forums...6084491/m/6181009403) says "During the conference, Ricoh will also be highlighting a list of proprietary solutions developed in-house , such as: -- Card Authentication Platform ... -- Ricoh Dataworks(3)... -- DataOverwriteSecurity System (DOSS) ... -- Embedded Print Director 5.2 ... -- GlobalScan(TM) 3.1 - ... -- IPDS -... -- Transaction Link - .... -- Web
