Real Copier Sales
I sold 30 Aficio 2035's to do nothing but scans. This customer felt that at the time it was the best 50+ ipm duplex scanner on the market. They didn't even want us to put toner in the machines. We put them all on a $300/yr. maintenance agreement that included no clicks. I bet we have had less than 10 calls total. $9,000 for 10 service calls...we definately did OK. Our biggest issue has been flat fusers from sitting idle when they tried to make a copy.....more here

Re: Someone Sold a RICOH Pro C900!

From Weekend Copier Notes: "Ricoh announced it will soon offer a new option for the C900 production color system, the Creo print controller. (Canon made a similar announcement recently)" This may actually help sell some of these Ricoh boxes, yet that Creo controller was made with Konica Minolta in mind (Konica Minolta supplied the hardware during development).

Means that if the user selects to print to a xerox MFP and the paper selection they choose or paper type is not loaded in the MFP, then the Xerox print around technology will allow other jobs that follow to be printed ahead and not back up print jobs. On our Ricoh devices if this happens it backs jobs up unless users know how to go into the print job screen list and re-arrange jobs.

Dell 3130N "Discussion"
Art Post (Guest) ·
One of my customers has a few of the Dell 3130N color printers and I offered to do a cost analysis for them. I first went to ricoh saves.com and looked it up and all it showed for consumables was toner cartridges. I thought, that's not right, where is the fuser, the transfer belt and others. So, I did a quick search on the web and came up with one hit for 3130N drum, the link did not have a lot of info. So, I then paid a visit to Dell's site and had the same, the only consumables was the toner

This used to be the case with Ricohs but isn't any longer. Although not this way by default, the units can now be set to allow prints to leap over problem print jobs.

Print Around is a cousin of the Print Fleet, Print Audit, FM Audit family. Sadly, Print Around is from the wrong side of the tracks and has been considered to be a fairly loose girl although not as loose as her older sister Print Easy.

Re: MFP "Charging for Scans"
Chuck ·
I have not heard of a Fujitso or Kodak scanner dealer charging for scans - maybe $15 for a new set of scanner feed tires which the customer installs. Salespeople develop bad reputations in certain industries for doing foolish things and just maybe charging for scans is an example. I'd opt to tell a customer that our company includes scanner maintenace and we'll oil the cabinet doors as needed too!
