both companies' strengths in R&D, manufacturing and sales, thereby achieving efficient management and competitive CRT business operations on a global scale. The New Company will be the third largest TV-use CRT operation in the world. Although the CRT market is somewhat mature, annual growth of between two and three percent (based on units) is forecasted, due to brightness, color and cost performance advantages that the CRT format maintains over plasma display panels and liquid crystal displays.

, according to Jarosław Wensker, product manager for Sharp’s copiers and printers. “In 1999 the market was better than it is now,” he said. “It was the best year of development of the market in Poland. After, the market slowed down, it began to get smaller and smaller. We started at a bad time.” He pointed out, for instance, that since then sales of photocopiers have dropped at least 6%. So to counterbalance Sharp’s ill-fated beginnings, he said it is pushing its sales forces at its dealers and

Ricoh has info on the cl3000 on website just no link to it yet. Go to cl5000 page and change to cl3000 and walla. Makes me wonder what other info might be already posted with no direct link to it.

Jayson, I am also considering becoming CDIA certified. I'm working for a Savin dealer and I'm told that all Savin management is required to have a CDIA certification. I just recently finished taking the Ricoh U. Image Management Certification Program in an effort to prepare myself for the CDIA test. However, after finishing the Ricoh certification, I'm afraid that it may be too brand specific to do me any good on the CDIA test which I am told is completely un-brand specific. I would, however

Different toner cartridge than the CL5000? Ricoh is going to make you stock a ton of stuff for the new machines. You will have to stock MFP toner, and CL5000 toner. That really sucks!

Topic: Scan Router Pro/ OCR and 1075 (6 of 7), Read 9 times Conf: ScanRouter Discussion From: Ron Albeck (ron.albeck@ricoh-usa.com) Date: Tuesday, February 11, 2003 01:59 AM When using the 1075 you can scan the 300 pages if you add them as they are being fed into the copier. However you can not OCR a PDF document it must be saved as a TIFF file for most every OCR application. ScanRouter does not OCR a document at all. DeskTopBinder will OCR a document but it will only save it as a Text File

Art, Do you mean the 3648 and the FW470 are the same product? I asked that question of a Ricoh product rep recently and I was assured that the FW470 was 100% Ricoh. She said that the previous digital model was a Mita product, but that the current is not.

I am somewhat of a journeyman in this industry and have worked for 8 different companies over 23 years due to moves and acquisitions. I have seen it all and added points on leases is common among larger dealers.

My point is, I learned long

For whatever its worth, here is the Savin brochure.

From: david147 Does anyone have info on this machine? I have an account that is doing about 10,000 lin. ft. per month I'm trying to see if Ricoh has something comparable. david147

OK Graham or Lee, here's another one for you. I recently installed an AP3800CDT1 with the User Account Enhance Kit. We loaded the latest version of Smart Net Monitor for Admin from the Ricoh website. When we selected the device in SNM the user access control tab was missing. And we couldn't set it up to lockout specific users from color. Question#1: Does the fact that we only have a MAC workstation connected to it right now have something to do with the tab not being there? while the tab also

Does anyone know why the 1224 is not energy complient? I am not a tree hugger I just want to know how this might affect some of my government accounts and potencial sales to certain federal agencies.
