property of Xerox® corporation. Xerox® provided certain training for a person at each location. That person, though they were not paid, was bestowed with the title “Key Operator.” They were the only ones who were supposed to unlock the door to the machine, change toner, clear jams, add fuser oil and call for service. When machines (copiers, printers or fax machines) break down these days, they don’t usually just sit there. They often, but not always, display a message. The message may be spelled out in

) addresses, network or host folders and files, and document management applications such as Canon imageWARE, all in one single time saving operation. The imageRUNNER 5020 / 5020i and 6020 / 6020i have monthly copy/print volume ratings of up to 200,000 and 230,000 impressions per month, respectively. All of the models offer the extensive print driver support and document security and finishing capabilities that have made the Canon imageRUNNER line the 2002 U.S. digital copier market share leader

I'm back, and have an answer about the volume delima. You need to open the Aficio 1224C/1232C Sales Hand Book that came on the Launch CD (the one with the Video. Am I the only one who reads this stuff?) Anyway, in Chapter 1, page 1-3, it talks about "Target Office/Target Copy Volume". It has a graph and text showing the Max. Volume is 33.3K per month. The graph also shows the BW and FC Prints based on a max of 33.3K per month. It shows how much color can be done at 10%, 20% etc. up to

We have not yet received any info on these products. In fact this forum is the first place I heard about them. I guarantee that the product the customer mentioned is the imageRUNNER C3200. IKON had been alleviating all 2058 inventory to make way for this product. I am not even proposing a b/w only segment 2 or 3 copier with the Canon and Ricoh products that have recently been launched that can cost effectively handle convience color and b/w. I've sold 3 units so far this month and all

can someone tell how do i reply to my customer who is concerned about putting a 4510 on network, he's asking about citrix driver. I don't know what citrix is and how to reply

Just got the brochures in today and should have a machine in the next two weeks. This thing looks mighty impressive but as I said before target market is the higher volume p4p customers.If you would like I can scan in the spec sheet or brochure let me...

Here's the situation: The bossman has a Dr. friend who bought a used Toshiba 4550 off e-bay (some friend huh). Anyway, the 20 Bin sorter stops and jams at the 15th bin. The doc asked the bossman if we could look at it, and being stupid, he sent out a tech. While looking at why the sorter stopped at the 15th bin, the Toshiba through a wrench code. Here is the problem, our tech doesn't know how to clear the code. There is no code number, just the red wrench. Does anyone out here sell Toshiba and

Is this a true Color Copier or more of a B to C machine like the 1224-32 any feedback would be helpful! Thanks Graham

I'm hearing that Xerox has come out with a BtoC machine like our 1224-32 system. Has anyone else heard this?? Thanks Graham

Can anybody help me with some knowledge about Minolta Digital? Any dirt on these products would be helpful. Thanks

I have not personally seen the output, but from what I have heard it is more of a business color quality. I had a Xerox agent try to position it as a solution in a print for pay against a 6513 and the customer did not see the Xerox as a viable competitor. The DC 12 and 3535 are the only two products that I believe fit the creative color category.

It sounds like you are refering to having a 10mb or 100mb network. All of the ricoh network devices I'm familiar with use Auto-detect to determine the speed of the network but then they set that value and do not detect again. So when the printer is turned on it looks at the network and detects 10mb speed, and sets the card to 10mb. If the network chances to 100mb the printer does not detect this until it is turned off and on again.

Nice job Art. Be aware that RBS is coming to a town near you. In Florida they are in Tampa and have a branch office in Sarasota. Will be in Orlando, Miami and Jacksonville soon. If it is not bad enough to compete against Savin, Gestetner, Lanier, Ikon and another Ricoh dealer on some deals. That's (6) Proposals for Ricoh equipment to one customer. I guess one more from RBS couldn't hurt.

Whenever I get a CD, I download everything and print jsut about everything up. Then, when I get a chance, I glance through it. You never know what useful info you will find that the Service side (and for that matter the Sales side) never knew was there. The problem I have is trying to remember where I saw the info in the first place!

Ted, Hold the phone! The page you are referring to references page volume of 8,000 / 5000 then below that changes to developments. Developments must be divided by 4 to convert to letter size pages. The accompanying bar graph with color black ratios uses the developments numbers, but says copies. I think the person who put this together does not understand the difference in copies and developments. If you look in the sales information guide on the launch CD which is in the reference folder, you

You may want to watch out or the IR3200. Canon has a little monster on it's hands! Great quality at a great speed....

same time, Standard & Poor's affirmed its 'BB-' corporate credit rating on Global Imaging Systems. The outlook is stable. Tampa, Fla.-based Global Imaging is a distributor of automated office equipment solutions, network integration solutions, and electronic presentation systems to the U.S. middle market. The company reported long term debt outstanding of $194 million as of March 31, 2003. The proposed debt issue is part of a recently announced refinancing plan; the current rating and outlook

I need to turn off Image Rotation on an aficio 650 so that Mixed Originals print properly and don't rotate the 8 1/2 x 11 sheet! I can't find it in the user tools.

Can anyone tell me how the numbering function works with Micro Press and our HV system. 1085,1105,2090,2105? We are looking to do sequential numbering of single sided prints. Plus, we have 50 different forms and will need to do these for each. Art

and to honor Ricoh National Service and Supply. Need to move from Conway, SC to Fayettville, NC. Can anyone help? Art

Can anyone get me official spec page and/or photos of the TC II?? Also, how does this print two colors in one pass without the first color getting smudged on the second master?? Randy

FYI to all members of the P4P Hotel. My company just had a very important customer call up with an OCR questions on the 1232C S/P and needed an immediate answer. I remember a message that Art Post put on here about a month ago and it was EXACTLY when the customers needed. It was the 1232C S/P using Textbridge 11. Thanks to Art and P4P Hotel saving the day!

The penciling was done by the customer, they just added NJ sales tax to the lease. Art

Thats cool but try Lanier, Ikon, Gestetner, Savin, RBS and 3 independant dealer in NY!

This is true for any GW archetechture Maching printing from G3 and G4 macs.

Flying_birdman: Thanx for the brochure on the 3200, can you also upload a brochure for the C2500 and C3500? Maybe provide some insight on this new Canon product? Thanx Art PS Graham, can you please upload this pdf to the Canon section.

The 3850 is not GW archetecture. GW archetecture refers to the ricoh controllers only.

Not only have I not yet read all the 1224/1232 launch material, my Ricoh trainers obviously did not either. You see Ted, with people like you monitoring this sight, I may never have to read a manual again. Thanks once again for being here.

I'm no expert, but my understanding is Citrix runs on a Unix platform. Usually requires the mini PCL drivers and limited functionality at the output device. But recent drivers that Ricoh has updated supposedly offer additional functionality like duplexing. Bottom line Ricoh products can connect to this environment, probably depending on the version of Citrix. But you have to be mindful of sharing what functions you will be able to access. Best bet is to put it on as a trial, based on a pre

Well, I think GWA refers to the controller almost exclusively. Ground Work Architecture as I understand it refers to the fact that the components such as memory, hard drive, networking, etc. in the controller, are shared by the system and accessed as needed. This is why the old systems needed 2 network connections for printing and scanning and now we only need one (because they didn't have this).

Ridldle Me This Brad...when it is talking about BW only, it states 33,333 is the MMV. Wouldn't doing black only use only ONE dev.... The Black. You wouldn't divide this by 4. So, it still makes sense the way I stated that if they are talking pages on the BW, then they must be talking pages on the color. You can't be talking pages for BW and Dev. for the Color on the same chart...but then again this is Ricoh, the Master of Ambiguity!

One more thing, it says the "target volume" is 5K/8K per month. That is best case senerio, or what Ricoh would want the customer to do. In reality, the machine can do more than the "target volume". This number is called the "Max. Monthly Volume". That is what is being referenced in the chart.

Minolta traditionally has had really poor document feeders. I used to sell them and placed three in a mortgage company. Our service tech was consistently there changing feed rollers and trying to make them run properly.

I started in the idustry with Minoltas. I later learned that they were service intensive and only as "good as the technician". They were the prima dona of copiers when it came to servcing. Minolta's are not that popoular in our area. Wish I could give you more info. Art

OK I was only thinking of the 3850. I couldn't think of an example of a machine with GWA and a Fiery option, the 2105 is one. The "bug" we are speaking of only applies to Ricoh controllers in GWA machines. That should be more clear =)

Ray Bauer has printed brochures and also details on the official launch of the SeriPrinter. If anyone has direct questions they would like to ask, I would be only too happy to reply.

Since we just launched Canon, I am having info sent on these products. When I get it, I will post it.

Then what does purchaing the ScanRouter Document Server get you? Just for one user? Who should I call at Ricoh? Anyone know?
