I'm reading the brochure and the brochure states "Cloud-enabled" and states, " a touch of the button on the user interface lets you access, scan to, or print directly from certain cloud applications". Do you need a license for that similar to Ricoh ICE, and it's an annual subscription? What cloud applications can you scan to or print from? ty

Production Printing sales were up 6.6 percentto ¥191.9 billion sales. Ricoh says this sales increase was achievedthrough the increase in sales of color cut-sheet production printers introduced during the previous fiscal year

prospecting with LinkedIn. I thought, these guys are lucky, so lucky! When I first started in copier sales (with no sales experience except for selling stereo's from a van), I was given a desk, a pen, a pad, a calendar and a yellow page book. That was it!!But, I did have the station wagon!! Today, it's not just about picking up the phone (even though most of us are measured how many call we make) to get an appointment. You need to combine all of those great communication tools, such as LinkedIn, Email

Sharp seen posting 230 billion yen net loss OSAKA-- Electronics maker Sharp appears to have suffered a consolidated net loss of 230 billion yen ($1.9 billion) for the fiscal year ended March, its first such loss in two years. The loss contrasts with the company's 11.5 billion yen profit in the previous fiscal year. An operating loss of 40 billion yen is expected, compared with a 108.5 billion yen operating profit in the prior fiscal year. Sharp was hurt by sluggish sales of digital products

The “paperless office” has long been held up as a goal for businesses large and small, but few have come even close. The average office worker, in fact, still generates roughly two pounds of paper waste every day, according to the U.S. EPA. Aiming to help cut a few more of the ties that bind businesses to paper, Xerox on Tuesday unveiled a raft of new automation services and mobile apps for enterprise users. Xerox’s Workflow Automation Solution for Supply Chain Optimization tool, for example

GIntel has the concept a bit wrong. The e306LP is not designed to be a replacement to an existing print device. It is meant to be a secondary device. Eco conscious users will copy/print to this device for inter office and temporary correspondence. Documents where printed material or specifications are subject to frequent change can now be reused. More expensive colored paper can be reused. The paper normally discarded in exams, tests, surveys and hand-outs can now be reused. Documents where the

MONTREAL - Domtar wants to boost production of office copier paper if it wins an anti-dumping case against imports from five countries, including China, that the company alleges have violated international trade agreements. "We're confident we could supply the volume required," Domtar CEO John Williams said Thursday in a conference call.

Okay, thanks! I have the phone call, Email, In-person aspects covered. I use LinkedIn to find the right person—I don’t use it for communicating with them yet.

Explorer! Web printing exceeds Excel printing by 400%! Education: Students don’t print very much, but what they do print is mostly from the Internet. SHOCKER #3: Almost Zero Duplex! Ever have a customer say “we don’t need duplex rules, we set the defaults on the printers?” The facts tell a different story: Education Finance: Both were nearly “zero” on the duplex counts. Looks like they could use some education on how to save money on paper! Medical: Hospitals duplex rates are only .14%. I guess when

I have to say, I love this technology, but I feel like its real world value is VERY limited. People don't use paper like this and the cost savings of re-using whatever paper is reusable is offset by efficiency losses by having to walk back and erase everything. When was the last time you or your clients printed a bunch of pages, did not write, fold, staple most of them? And how often are youwilling to walk back to a machine to run these completely pristine pages back through an erasing device

recycled on premise. I have read the programs Terms Conditions and you can tell the lawyers were up all night writing this one excluding Toshiba from any possible liability. Toshiba retains the right to use a School's acceptance of a free copier as a right to use that same School for publicity purposes. Other than that, there are very few conditions as to who can get this free product or what happens to the copier after it arrives. The copier comes with one free toner. Thereafter the School

We just placed our first one. You say it's pricey but that is because you are also calling it a White Board. I wouldn't consider this a good candidate in the typical White Board environments because there seems to be deficiencies compared to other White Boards even though there are many things it can do that White Boards can't. The way I see it, typical White Boards will have a tough time competing with us in most commercial settings where we will have difficulty in most educational...
