Who's Afraid of Xerox ColorQube?
The hype was building for weeks about Xerox's substantial breakthrough in the cost of color for the general office. Today at 11:AM in Chicago, Xerox broke the news to the work that we need to use their solid ink multifunctional systems in order to "save the environment" and save money.

Printing from bypass tray on Ricoh MPC4500
John ·
Is there any way to print a document and set it to duplex when using the bypass tray on this model? I have a customer printing card stock info cards. They are perforated on 8.5 x 11" card stock and they need to print info on both sides. I can't find any setting through the print driver to accomplish this and tech support says it cannot be done. I know if it can be done I will find the answer here. Thanks for the help, John

GMAN: Ricoh does HAVE THE LARGEST distribution channel! Even tough dealers are upset, its the same with KonicaMinolta Dealers selling against KonicaMinolta Direct, Sharp Dealers and Sharp Direct, Canon Dealers and Canon Business Solutions. The problem is not inherent to Ricoh alone. Direct Branches are giving stuff away and no dealer can compete when service, supplies and hardware are retailed at the price that a dealer would pay or lower.

"The rating reflects Xerox's good position in its core document management business and large base of recurring post-sales revenues and cash flow," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Lucy Patricola. Challenging industry conditions, along with leverage that we view as currently high for the rating, partially offset these factors. Xerox is a global company serving the document management markets, with total reported revenues of $17.6 billion in 2008

The CVB advisory board in April voted to recommend a 5-year lease purchase with Consolidated Printing, Salina, for a Konica-Minolta copier. Purkis said the CVB in light of a tight budget, had only included $2,000 for equipment needs. She said the current copier is over 10 years old. The current copier was originally in the police department before it was moved over to the CVB’s offices. The

Re: Some of my observations....
GMAN ·
heard from Lanier and Savin dealers about the change in the sales support structure. It has not been very positive." The Cannata article hits hard on those important points but is too soft on the big picture. For example, it is the 50th Anniversary of Savin and it was not mentioned once during the Meeting, which should have celebrated SAVIN and it's DEALERS. Savin Dealers (and Ricoh and Lanier Dealers) know too well where the Ricoh ship has set sail for and it will not be Safe Harbor for them.

Re: Cutting costs by scrapping the Document Mall Team
I have always clashed with the sales model used for DM. Why not just let the customer pay for it with credit card directly? If a rep is responsible for the sale, then give them a percentage cut on their Ricoh card as long as the customer is paying. Paying for 3 to 5 yrs as an add-on to the equipment lease is not a very efficient model for increasing volume. Sounds more like doing hard time.

I agree with both of you! I've seen this product really wow with impressive color and really look bad too. I think Neal may have hit on the problem, as some of us enter the production print environment, there are bound to be people who do it poorly.

Ah, I believe it can, you've just got to have the right media selected. Once thick stocks have been selected the system will not allow you to duplex from the by-pass tray, they key os top trick the machine and tell the by-pss it is feeding regular or somewhat regular stock and then cross your fingers and hope all goes well with print reproduction and no jammin.
