For the 470w, I have come across a client who needs to use the VCGL format which is a Xerox based format for drawings. Has anyone encountered this before or even better yet, solved how to print this format?!? Any help would be appreciated. I have been working with Ricoh and their solution is very costly and not 100% certain it can work. Thanks!

DigiPath is Xerox's software for editing and controlling (scanned) jobs for the DocuTech platform, much like the recent Job-Q-editor software from ATI/Ricoh is for the 2090/2105 family. Docushare is a (simple) knowledge sharing software, which holds scanned pages and make them searchable and shareable. The latter is a good marketing selling point, helping Xerox delivering a broad soloutionbase towards the customer. It is not very sophisticated however.

Is the Print for Pay (DMAP6) promotion still running?

Canon Leasing! They will take any machine. I will get you the info. We had a new startup company and DLL, Fleet, and Ricoh Leasing said no. We sent the info into Canon Leasing and they said OK. Go figure. We are leasing a Ricoh Machine through Canon Leasing. We have already let Ricoh (a.k.a. DLL) know. Boy were they red faced.

Handling objections is a critical part of selling. But you still need to know how to close. Here are some pointers: Closing is usually the culmination of a delicate, intricate process that involves: • Listening closely throughout the sales process to detect the point at which the close is starting to occur. • Making it easier for the prospect to buy from you than from the competition. • Addressing every objection. • Stressing the value-added benefits of dealing with you. • Making it clear that

KIP manufactures Wide Format copiers and printers (Plotters) typically used by engineers and Architects to print and/or reproduce larger documents (commonly 24"x36" in size). They are competition for the Ricoh FW470.

Thanks for your help on this...Kim and I work together. Unfortunately, we can't get a solution that doesn't involve a costly solution from Ricoh. Anyone know of converters that would convert the VCGL to a HPGL format?

I have seen a picture of it, it is hush, hush at Ricoh about this product for some reason. We need to put pressure on our DSM's about this product. Call them and email them, they need to sell just like us. I hope it gets released soon. Art

Thanks Brad...but They are the same as DLL aka Ricoh Leasing

OK, here it is Canon leasing 800-220-8880 Our Dealer Service Rep is Amy Pulver. her e-mail is apulver@cusa.canon.com She could probably direct you to the correct person if she doesn't handle your territory.

Frankly, if Canon Leasing will take the junk, send it to them. It may help us in the future if the junk goes down hill. Think about it.

Is this just a printer for printing microfilm? I have a few suspects that use microfilm and the one draw I had was that their printer for it was going to go bad and there would be no replacement. Any word on compatibility with other microfilm systems (of whose name I cannot think of)?

You don't lose ALL of the functionality with the PS driver, just the Doc Server and Locked print options. All the finishing is there, it is just a little tricky to get to.

I have a 1232 (C3210 Savin) in a clients since beginning of June. So far they have averaged 13,000 B&W per month ... so far so good (I have nighmares about it though) ... I have told them several times to move the B&W volume to the Aficio 551, they can't seem to get the staff to take the 20 second walk to it though. We have had to empty the color waste toner container twice since June, I think they have only done about 14,000 color developments.
