Ricoh SP W2470, Why I Can't Sell Them!
Art Post (Guest) ·
untapped. A market where there are 3 to 8 employees and all they need to do is print. They are out sourcing some 40 - 80 prints a month and can't afford payments of $296 and they are buying ink plotters whether HP or Canon. It would be nice to capture these customer also. My general opinion is that Ricoh Wide Format is resting on their laurels with the Ricoh SP W2400. Their concern was to not capture more TDV, but to hold pricing similar to the outdated technology of the their competitors. And, while

other manufacturers. Also, on a couple of the devices we cannot see the web page of the printer even though we can ping to it and print to it. At this account I am also having a problem with the PS driver for a Ricoh MPC4500. They are using windows authentication in active directory and when we send a print job using the ps3 driver, it acts like the job has successfully gone to the device but it never shows up. When we go to the print log on the web page it says there was an error printing to

Art, The business plan for the 2400 was created by someone who is no longer with the company, and now is run by people who think they know the market and what it needs. A business when not managed properly will eventually end. Can't live on the past forever. What a shame, Ricoh WF business has gone from the other group, to #1 Marketshare in the US, to...guess we will have to wait and see.

Drink Water Before you give a speech, deliver a sales presentation or make phone calls - drink one to two glasses of water. It lubricates your vocal chords, helps your voice and gives you needed fluids that you lose while speaking. Lukewarm water is best. Cool water is OK. Ice water is not good for your vocal chords. Avoid dairy products because they create phloem in your throat.

Well, Some of the features that help me sell eCopy are... Direct integration with other applications (imaging packages mostly). eCopy has "connectors" that allow you to drop documents directly into over a hundred packages and you can even do your indexing at the copier. Exchange/AD authentication. With eCopy, first, I have to log into my network. As long as I'm a valid user on the network, I'm a valid user on eCopy. Then when I click "to" I can see the entire Exchange user list. When I type Sh

Art, sounds like you are saying you sell the desktop client without the actual eCopy unit attached to the copier?

This is a plug n play (UpNp) problem. I solved my issue by disabling UpNp at the server, however you can turn it off at the print also, login to Web Image Monitor and disable SSDP, you may be able to do it from the panel but I'm not sure. I havent seen this problem on the printers but I have on the new MFP's. I would be interested in knowing if this fixes it.

We tried turning off SSDP at the printer but that didn't fix the issue. The customer is going to turn off UpNp at their server and hopefully that will take care of it. The other issue I spoke about was the postscript problem and windows authentication. Any thoughts on this? By the way, Thanks IT Dude for your help.

You are welcome, and I believe that authentication is not officially supported by Ricoh using the postscript driver (only rpcs, and pcl). I will try and get a confirmation on that, and get back to you.

Bethel school officials raid copy machine

the past fiscal year in the black - with $500,000 left in the bank. The extra cash will also go toward the contract settlement. And in other positive budget news, the district had forecast enrollment would fall slightly because of the slowing housing market. Instead, enrollment is stable at 17,595 students. The copier fund solution may seem like a painless idea, but district officials point out that schools depend heavily on copiers to reproduce instructional materials and tests. Bethel High
