This Week in Copiers Fifteen Years Ago
Second Week of December 2008
Real Copier Sales
Funny Story from Jason R
Back in the days before email, I had designed a spreadsheet that did a long series of very complex calculations for our remote offices.
I had posted a funny story here several years ago, that I had to post again for the folks that never read it.
I installed and trained an Aficio 3035 yesterday to a Sheriff's Office. One of the ladies (who is a true blonde) was asking questions on the yellow key. I instructed her that before you make copies, to press the button to first clear any job that was previously run. I thought she understood that. When I was following up today.... go here for rest of article

It is and I see it everywhere and mostly from Direct branches. We can't do it and management will never do it. Too me, this is a deal breaker in most P4P accounts. It's too bad that Dealers subsidize the Direct Branches. Maybe emails to top Management at Ricoh, Canon, KonicaMinolta and Xerox will shed light on this. Who knows maybe someone is keeping them in the dark?

Single click 11 x 17
Over the past few years, I have seen the local Canon direct office proposing single click for 11 x 17 for both black and color, and it has always been somewhat difficult to overcome. This afternoon, I met w/ a current client of mine that has proposals in hand from a Global (Xerox) dealer, an independent Canon dealer, KMBS, Danka, a Sharp dealer and 2 Konica dealers, all of which are proposing single click for 11 x 17. How do you all overcome this, and how many of your dealerships have adopted

New York Announces Preliminary Guidelines for Eco-Friendly State Purchasing

agencies make smart buying decisions. The specifications will help guide purchases of numerous commodities and services, including computers, copiers, printers, electronic signs, dishwashers and engine block heaters. New York State government is a major consumer of materials and energy, and the establishment of procedures for the purchasing of green goods and services will help leverage its buying power. As part of this initiative, in September, OGS announced the savings of approximately $255

Re: Single click 11 x 17
The surprise in this particular account is that only 1 of the competitors is a Direct branch, because we previously only saw it from the local Canon branch. So far, the only thing we've tried to do is lose the competition money if we lose out by telling the customer to print everything 2 up and buy a cutter from us to cut those documents. Have you been able to overcome this in order to win a transaction?

Dependning on the volume of the customer, you may even consider the new Pro C900. Well, first things first, from what I've heard is that some Ricoh dealers will not be allowed to sell this product. Secondly, the Oki is now where near the price of the C900, and I don't see the Oki as a production device, however the

Re: Scanrouter V2 and MPC2800
I don't know if this answers your question but as an FYI...The official announcement from Ricoh is "Scanrouter's EOL (End of Life) is Dec. 31, 2008". That means it won't work with newer systems such as Windows Server 2008 and they don't care.

Re: CPC6000/MPC500 Plockmatic BK5010 option
None of the standard Ricoh Booklet finishers support more than 28lb for booklets. This is not new. The only option is to go with a production booklet maker BK5010.

Yup, I agree with the color scenario! It's hard to beat, almost impossible. The only way is that hopefully manufacturers will develop print only devices with fiery again. It seems that they all have moved away from this type of system. The only current mid volume color printer I know of is the C9800 from Oki, and alas this is to be discontinued after the inventory has been depleted and there are no plans from Oki to replace the C9800. There should be alternative choices to print professional

No Network Drop
Just curious, what do you do when the customer has no network drop where the mfp is going? I know many copier companies have their own network division at this point in time. But for smaller companies or ones that don't have their own IT division, or ones who do, but don't want to mess with running cable, what do you do? It seems like many times the customer just assumes you're going to install a network drop, fix their network, take out the trash, etc...when they buy from you. I'm interested
