This week and last week have been a tough go for me. Packing everything into the end of 2019 and getting the flu right before Christmas has taken it's toll for orders in January. Thank goodness quarters are 3 months! I had a great pipeline for January, however almost I couldn't get much of it to move. Okay so I have an even better pipeline for February thus it's time to make things happen!
Enjoy all of these threads from 15 years ago this week!

Ricoh seems pleased with its r&d for the HQ master, but are they going to be willing (or able) to compete with such a shift in duplicating technologies like this masterless inkjet system? I hope this gives a wake up call to Ricoh to get off that company aquiring pot they've been squatting on and start getting a feel for what the market place is needs, catch up with their competition and improve with their proven technology innovation, that has been fairly quiet.

Maybe, there is a better hardware config here. Why not propose the 2022SP? Propose it just as a scanning solution, then you can scan directly to the folder with out the need of Scan Router. No, passwords are then needed at the copier because the file has benn sent to the PC that is pass code protected. Then you are within the HIPPA comnpliance. 2022SP is $7,195 retail. To me thats les that $140 a month for a scanner solutiona nd I believe the 2022SP scans at 36ipm. Is that right. If you also

Well first thoughts are ink jet cpp @ .0235 is incredible. Paper, and the image dpi of 300 dpi, would lead me to believe that the best prints will be with special paper. If it is, you can say goodby to the printshop business. Ink jet resolution is not as good as laser. Will it handle 11 x 17? 8 shades of Gray, will not be ok for the p4p industry.

Re: SR 860 FOLDING WITHOUT STAPLING
Guest ·
There is a work around that is not sanctioned by Ricoh. You must take the staple cartridge out of the SR 860 and then defeat the sensor that tells the SR 860 that the staple cartridge has been removed. Or just remove the staple from the cartridge and defeat the sensor that tells the system it is out of staples. Make sure you try this with your techs blessing. Anyone know of any other ways to make this happen?

Re: Compensation
If someone has an idea that could make it work all across the board. For instance, a portion of my salary is paid as auto allowance so that Social Security doesn't have to be paid. The other difficulty is the fact that one person may sell $750,000 but get paid less than someone else who sells $500,000 because salesrep #2 got more margin. However, you can't bring G.P. into the equation because not everyone is working from the same "Sales Cost". My $10,000 sales may have $2,000 G.P. and pay me
