Just a little more on the show that I'd like to share from this week. While standing at the end of our booth I was watching the reps from other companies in our section. So many peeps passed their booth and they did not say a word! No greeting, no communication, they waited for someone to speak to them first. Needless to say I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that many warm leads were lost because these reps were never taught the fine art of "hawking" while at a trade show. I was taught many years ago by a dealer owner who wanted orders at the show. That art of hawking is to stand (not sit) and to be at the edge of your booth. Greeting, then the question where they are from (breaks the ice) and then the open ended question of "have you seen" or "do you have". It really does make a difference!
Enjoy the Threads from 15 Tears Ago!

Profit has dropped 22 percent for the Japanese corporate headquarters of Konica Minolta, but color copiers are getting a lot of attention in the U.S. subsidiary. Profits dropped in the parent company's holdings in the third quarter ending Dec. 31, 2004, attributed by the company to lower copier sales and a dip in digital camera prices.

Brian: This is a known issue by Ricoh, I am not aware of a mod upgrade at this point in time, however, I know tell all of my customers to have the copies exit to the top exit tray. I then tell them the benefit of "not having to bend over" to get their prints, plus the ease of use by removing the stacks from the top as they come out collated. Thus siimple explanation has eliminated the rear feed exit problem issues with my accounts.

Another thought....If the Docutech uses the old “Xerox” .xsm directory hierarchy our software would currently be able to “import” them one by one, and the customer would be able to “export” it to our filing system. They could try it using our demo version if you want. Download from www.virtualcopier.com Give me a shout if you have any questions.

Thanks for inquiring. As we discussed, Virtual Copier does not handle this special Xerox proprietary format.

Interesting idea. I personally think the copier manufacturer's myopia with the 11x17 format has a lot more to do with inertia than with market demand. Look at how well HP and Lexmark have done in the printer market with very limited tabloid product. Why does speed and high capacity paper handling have to equate to tabloid format. If the traditional vendors don't pick up this ball, then you can be sure someone beyond HP will...they won't ake forever figuringout how to build (or buy) a decent
