This Week in the Copier Industry 15 Years Ago, The Last Week in October 2003

performance was reported on Wednesday by fellow copier and printer maker Ricoh Co (Tokyo:7752.T - News), which said its net profit jumped 42 percent in the July-September quarter on the back of healthy sales of multi-function printers and cost cuts. Analysts were anticipating upbeat results from both Canon and Ricoh, especially after overseas peer Xerox Corp (NYSE:XRX - News) said last week that its quarterly profit more than doubled on brisk sales of colour copiers while printer giant Lexmark

copiers (18% CAGR) through 2007. The ROW region shows the highest growth for black-and-white digital copiers at 17% during the forecast period.

Topic: Ricoh promo on no interest leasing works (1 of 1), Read 5 times Conf: BW: General Discussion From: Larry Jaggers ljaggers@ikon.com Date: Sunday, October 26, 2003 09:30 PM Every time I've promoted Ricoh products that qualify for the no interest leasing promo, my prospect has asked me to put together a proposal. This is an excellent promotion and is definitely raising eye brows. It would be great to carry it beyond December 31, 2003. When did Ikon start selling RMAP? I was under the

printing is taking center stage in the effort to make the advertising message fit the prospective buyer. Bruce noted that production costs for digital print have been reduced dramatically in the past decade. Canon, Heidelberg, IBM, Indigo, Xeikon, Xerox and others also have been able to improve digital print quality almost as dramatically as they have cut costs of acquisition and consumables. These changes have set the stage for the production of truly relevant direct mail advertising

Ok Jayson: You rocked the boat on the League and they kep th thread in reference to our site. Here is some additional info, all of these documents are on the Savin web site for dealers.

Ah........, the long awaited SERI printer. This devices wroks in tandem with any of Ricoh's Digital Duplicators. It actually allows duplicators to print onto alternative media, such as "Tyvek", "Coated Stock" and other stock where the ink was not drying. The SERI dries the ink by passing the paper and ink from the duplicator under a UV light. This process also allows Ricoh to now release "transparent inks", meaning CMYK printing can be accomplished. To me the Seri gives us a new market, that

Art, Aren't Nashua and Nashuatec two completely different companies? I imagine you mean Ricoh's Nashuatec ... which I know nothing about anyway. Good Selling! Darren

Does anyone have an offical SERI Printer launch date from Ricoh yet? Art

My Brother, my twin, my love. My brother Tony started in the business as a copier technician for Metrpolitan Calculator Systems in Mountainside, New Jersey in 1983. He was trained as a technician and repaired the old NP 120's, 210's and a few others. After two years at MCS he came to work with me at Copy Machine Specialists in Morganville, New Jersey. We sold Minolta copiers at that time, Tony came on as a sales person. He and I worked there until the the company went belly up in 1985, three

Do you suppose I could run Savin through Ricoh Leasing? I miss RMAP, Savin, as far as I can tell, doesn't have a program like that.

Did y'all read Tara's post in reply to Jayson's? Man is she full of it. Good job Jay of putting her in her place. I went to the address you gave and there it is. If the same person does do both websites, then obviously that person gets a check from Savin not Ricoh. Just my .02 worth.

Graham I have been having a lot of discussions with Ricoh on this very subject for many months now. As you know all the information is in the systems, and essentially the method of retrival and sending is also there, but without PCSM there is no current method of achieving this I understand. The good news is that Ricoh do seem to have recognised that this could have a tremendous impact on everybodies meter clicks as it could also picj up all pages going through on copy,scan,fax & print. They do

See now, you Ricoh brand Ricoh guys got the launch packages. So maybe Savin brand Ricoh puts out the electronic information quicker, but I haven't received any hard copy launch info yet other than the price list from our DSM. You guys are SPOILED!

There is a Firmware upgrade for all of the Scan to Email systems that has SMTP AND POP authentication in the update. All you have to do is upgrade the print/scan firmware and there it is. Graham

Thankyou guys for saving me some time. Yes there is firmware to update the SMTP Auth. I was going to post a Screen shot to say Graham some of his precious time and I found my techs had not update the two in my office that are going out shortly. um, ah, I think there is a firmware update.

FYI, SeriPrint is compatible with JP5000/5500/8000/8500/TC2 only. When tied into the SeriPrint system, the unit is no longer able to print with the standard emulsified ink offering, as the SeriPrint unit has top mounted rollers at its' exit section, which would cause surface trailing as the emulsified ink would not have enough time to dry. Mind you, who would want to print with "dry-time consuming" inks when you can print with something that dries instantaneously, when "flashed" with UV? Great

SOB!!!!!!!!!! Why is Ricoh always last!

Additional info for you... In Citrix, printing is OK. Usually Citrix is running in an environment where Windows is running in the back ground. Printing is no problem. Scanning is out. Unless you set up a separate PC with Scan Router and to that PC you scan what you want. If Citrix can see the folders on that PC, it can access the images. Fax will only work in Windows.

Yes you can! We did this about 9 months ago for a church. Just touched base with our service manager and besides removing the lower drawer, there is a paper tray control board in the lower tray that is still required after you remove it, and he said there is room to reposition it somewhere else in the system. Good selling! -Greg

I have upgraded 7 GE leases in the last 6 months and sent the machines back because the upgrade and buyout were too high, so the customer opted to send back the equipment. Also had GE call and try to charge the customer an additional $250 on a Toshiba system we sent back for the customer because one tray would not feed paper 3 weeks after their return warehouse received the machine. It wasn't annotated on the delivery receipt from the carrier. But when we offered to send a replacement part

Do any of the Ricoh Products support SMTP Authentication? Answer /Currently, ScanRouter V2 Professional (version 2.0), the FAX 5510NF, the Aficio 2090/2105 (with the latest firmware),and the 60/75 CPM machines (with the latest firmware) support SMTP authentication. We expect all Networked FAX products released after the FAX 5510NF to also support SMTP Authentication. Please refer to the documentation for ScanRouter and / or the FAX 5510NF on how to enable / use SMTP Authentication.

I'am in the progress of replacing a very under used Docutech with a 2090. The problem I'am having is they scan in poor orginals into the desktop and clean them up before printing them out. To me this is a software application. Any ideas what software they can purchase to do the same thing or can they scan in using tiff, pdf an do the same thing.

I would like to know how Nashua operates in South Africa, do you all sell direct, are there any dealers, and how are sales in general? Thanx Art

Hey everybody, I have several clients who purchased 4410NF and 2035PSF units. They want to receive axes digitally and view them from the HDE's rather than print when received. Has anybody had experienced "viewing faxes with the web browser" on the 2035PSF?? Has anybody done the "forward to e-mail" on the 4410NF? Your imput would be helpful!!

I think know this one. It is the 3rd or 4th generation of a Digital High end WF, sold in Japan only. I do not know latest print speed but should be over 12.6 meter, as this was print speed of predecessor. Main target is products like the TDS800 and Max 200.

True, but I was thinking the 48mo. No Interest that Ricoh Lesing also offers. I think it is pretty much a given that almost everyone's 36mo. is at least Interest Free, but not their 48mo. I would like to know if he is talking 36mo. or 48mo. also. Will someone reply to his post on the AF and ask that?

Fleet has some special Savin Rates. They let you use them for any RFG machine.

Thhis is interesting,... with the rest of the working world thinking sales people have an easy high paying job and they just play golf or do whatever on Fridays, I think that your clients appreciate your presence on this day; as they are stuck in their daily grind. I usually myself and my colleaugues write alot of business friday afternoons. just my thoughts, what do i know?

Art The 1910 / 400N / 600N are not actually available here yet ( next two months) but at the launch by Ricoh UK last weekend they said the AP1910 was a badged Lexmark machine, but they SWORE the 400 & 600 were their own manufacture despite being challenged on it by a few people David

OK, here is the Stupid Question: Are they scanning the docs in on their Docutech? I don't believe they can. Then, it is a software issue. All you are doing is changing the delivery system by which the documents get from paper form to electronic form. What they do with those documents after they scan them into their system has nothing to do with what machine scanned them in, or what machine they will be printed on. The Docutech doesn't miraculously clean the image up before printing (does

We don't have ours yet!! Maybe Ricoh will get the hint and have everyone launched at the same time

I've done the 2035's. If they want to view them on the web browser, you have to set the machine up to store instead of print the faxes. This setup in under the Fax function in the User Tools. Then all you have to do is type in the IP address in your browser and it will find the machine. Select the fax, and then you can view the stored faxes.

Maybe Vegas when Ricoh has Agenda, or since we are Global, maybe Aruba and everyone could attend!
