This Week in the Copier Industry 10 Years Ago, The Second Week in November 2008

aims for 6 trillion yen ($62 billion) in sales and a net profit margin of 10 percent or more in 2010. Earlier this year Ricoh acquired U.S. office equipment distributor Ikon Office Solutions for $1.6 billion, dealing a blow to Canon because Ikon is a major dealer of its copiers and other office machines. Canon machines represent 60 percent of the products Ikon handles, with Ricoh machines accounting for 30 percent. (Reporting by Kiyoshi Takenaka; Editing by Hugh Lawson)

Ricoh is pleased to announce the launch of the new Ricoh Aficio SP 4100N-KP and SP C410DN-KP HotSpot Printers. What is a HotSpot Printer?

Each HotSpot printer has a unique URL and E-mail

digital printing to all volume markets. In addition to the company's digital printers--which already accounted for more than 40 percent of engineering systems and 80 percent of total company sales--Océ also continued to manufacture and sell a popular line of analog and inkjet black-and-white and color copying and printing equipment for the engineering systems market.

Per Image Site,they don't use a specific print driver to print to a device. Not sure how they get around it, but apparently they send the data directly from the software to a printer file (with a predefined profile) as a RTL or a CAL file. Our device list these as being supported, however, out of image site, the 2404 doesn't recognize page size or orientation properly. Equorum is in Atlanta, so I hooked them up with the local office there, they went in and tried to make it work, but were

Japanese Copier Companies & WWII Before Ricoh was Ricoh, it was known as Riken Kankoshi Co., Ltd. was formed to produce positive sensitive paper, used to develop film. Riken also developed computer-designed lenses originated during World War II. Before Canon was Canon, it was known as Precision Optical Industry., LTD, not much here for them, all I could get was go here for rest of article

Anybody running this software and printing to a Ricoh 240/Plotbase? thx.

Canon had just recently come in and outbid Ricoh for a huge dealer in San Fran at the last minute....now a bounty.... Canon has some pretty deep pockets and they are like a cornered animal...a very dangerous combination.

If you are using smart device monitor port and the printer is shared, when an error occurs, the notification will go back to the "print server" machine. I would not recommend using the smart device monitor port, but choosing a TCP/IP port and seeing if that resolves the problem. You may also be able to go to the "print server" if you are using one and a smart device monitor port and see if there are any error notifications.

There were also some problems with the 3800c when it was released where it had problems on 100mb networks. I believe some firmware fixed that, but as a work around, I had a 10mb hub I placed between the printer and network.

Art. LOL, you know what though, I would go along with the $1.00 as long as flat tax (fEDERAL sALES tAX) was instituted and the IRS was disolved

Just think, you could get your check from your employer with no taxes taken out (except Social Security), put it in the bank and gain interest with no taxes paid, buy and sell stocks with no taxes on the gain/loss, etc., etc. The only time you'd have to pay tax

How can so many people, left and right of center agree on something yet not see any changes? That was rhetorical...the answer is because ultimately the government gets much of it's power via the tax code. As JasonR says, there would be ways to help the poor but with a national sales tax, even the criminals and drug dealers would pay taxes. Not to equivicate Harvard with criminals but I heard today that Harvard doesn't pay a penny of tax including revenue on a $37 Billion endowment. I am curious
