Egads, it's Friday night almost 10PM and I'm still working. My day started off at 5AM. I arrived at the office about 6:30AM. Had to quotes to prepare before I had two appointments that were an hour away. Closed two of the appointments and then traveled back to office to prepare some material for another appointment around 2PM. Second appointment went okay and sparked some interest in the new PRO5160. Did a few cold calls, nothing to speak of. On my way home, I received an email from a net new stating they wanted to move forward with an order. Not bad three days into the new month and 3 orders. Gotta keep going!
Enjoy these threads from 15 years ago this week!
Xerox Copying New Growth Plan
$0.67 to $0.72 a share. Xerox has responded to the challenge of competitors such as Canon (NYSE: CAJ - News), Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ - News), and Ricoh, which are making the shift to color products. With color products making up about 25% of Xerox's revenues, it is plain to see that the product line has become the key driver in the company's growth strategy. The company is also leading the transition from offset printers to digital technology through the recent introduction of seven digital

Software decisions
I have a prospect who is looking to implement a new color system with scanning and I'm proposing the Savin C3828 (ricoh 2238 series). This is a law firm and they are interested in scanning mostly for manipulation. Our company is weak in this area, but I think the competition is weaker. I have shown the benefits of scan to archive and scan to share, with basic windows folders and Virtual Copier as options. Canon is showing Ecopy and Xerox Paper Port. My understanding is that neither of these

Re: Type 2018 Fax problems
We just saw this the other day on a Savin 4018d (same as Ricoh 2018). Lines almost like a notebook sheet but vertical. Seemed to only come from internal print outs from fax (confirmations, etc...) Looks like a firmware upgrade or something like that waiting to happen. Hope we don't have to wait too long, we are selling these like hotcakes and they are on back order as is.

Re: Introducing the Ricoh(R) AC104,
just not the market for most professional salespeople. The most disappointing aspects are the document feeder and the virtually non-existent dual/multi-access. It is okay as a printer with occassional convenience copying of single originals. Beware of this one, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Look for new Ricoh faxes that are also Samsung OEM. We have had some success with these, yet found Ricoh to be making a big profit on them. We cannot justify paying twice as much for the

Re: Type 2018 Fax problems
We have an RMAP 2015 with the same problem. Prints digital junk in RX as well as on internal fax reports. Copier and printer end both work fine. Machine was installed for only about 90 days when problem surfaced. (At least it is still under warranty.) Waited for backordered FCU for 3 weeks. Meanwhile Ricoh had changed the part # (also on backorder with no e.t.a.). Finally called RMAP about this issue, due to it being a Major Account. They could not help me. No FCUs to be found anywhere.

Re: wireless adapters
A wireless bridge connects to the RJ45 port of a network printer, allowing a wireless connection to a network with a wireless access point or router. A wireless bridge simply takes the place of the CAT5/5e cable ... no hardwire necessary. THis allows you to put your printer wherever you want (within range of an access point) without having to do any wiring. Since the connection is through the NIC, all network functions are available (as opposed to using a wireless print server which connects

C2338
Has anyone tried to do covers on this machine? Typically, when we want to do covers we want to use heavier stock. Therefore, we'd use the bypass. On the new color system, bypass is not an option. Which limits the weight to 28lb bond. I know that Canon probably has it all over us on this feature (Canon reps?). Can anyone tell me if there is a solution or if you have to add the interposer?

Re: carrier sheets
Carrier sheets are like huge file folders made out of a thin but durable plastic. The drawing is inserted into the carrier sheet up to the point where the fold is. They come in various widths for various drawing sizes. Tracing paper is a good application for using them. Ricoh used to carry them but I do not think they do anymore. Here is Detroit, we used to buy them from a 3rd party company but the supplier we used no longer carries them. So, they can be handy but I do not know where to

Re: 2238 Color Toner Yields
yes thats what I meant....regardless...the numbers are based on 5% for each color so when the customers does full bleed we are screwed. Also change your meter to copy rather than development...That could help. Well Canon & Monica must be in the same boat too!

Ricoh is telling us there is a national backorder on toner as well. I cannot believe they actually run out of toner. I have two units sold that I cannot install because we cannot get toner.

Re: Comparision Ricoh 2232 vs Canon 3200 saddlestitch finishers
As a sidenote, the saddle finisher on the 2232/2238 is the same one Canon uses for their 2200/2800/3300 series. I guess if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Re: Comparision Ricoh 2232 vs Canon 3200 saddlestitch finishers
it is my understanding that the finisher used by both RFG and Canon is manufactured by a third party source. Also, if what I was told is correct the RFG finisher offers hole punch while the Canon does not.

Re: C2338
i am not aware of a color product where there is no bypass option available. as for canon i have a customer with the canon and the are quite a few issues with the box i would worry about those. i do believe you can get a bypass option for your 2238. although the max weight there is 43lb. bond.
