separation and tint image printing allow for enhanced control of the printed image. Economy ? At 4,000 prints per master, the JP4500 masters achieve twice the run life of typical digital duplicators. For print runs from 50 to 4,000 copies, reports Ricoh, the JP4500 costs less per print than copiers or laser printers. Easy Spot Color Printing ? The Priport JP4500 systemfeatures a lightweight slide out cylinder, which can be easily changed to produce impressions with color. The duplicator also features

I have a customer who has the 1013F and the 4104 MFP. His biggest complaint with the HP is that it is printer first and copier or fax second. He claims it takes him several steps just to make one copy and that drives him crazy.

Put in a 2022 and let the faxes go paperless. Then it doesn't matter about the volume. They got to have a printer, copier etc. Sell the sizzle of paperless faxes and throw in the copier, printer, and scanner... I sold a booklet maker to a customer and threw in the 1060 to make it work. Sometimes you have to sell backwards. Sell the feature and attach a machine to make the features work.

Brian: I understand their immediate need is for the faxes, however another immediate need should be to save money and increase productivity! Has you done a fax analysis and showed then what they are spending on printing and sending faxes? If so share them with me and there may be a few things that we can do. You have to show them the justification and the expalin the ROI to them. if they do not know what they are spending, then the mindset is just to replace the existing faxes with more faxes

We did get it working a while back. You probably need to turn authentication ON. That was our problem. Attached is our set-up.

Maybe, there is a better hardware config here. Why not propose the 2022SP? Propose it just as a scanning solution, then you can scan directly to the folder with out the need of Scan Router. No, passwords are then needed at the copier because the file has benn sent to the PC that is pass code protected. Then you are within the HIPPA comnpliance. 2022SP is $7,195 retail. To me thats les that $140 a month for a scanner solutiona nd I believe the 2022SP scans at 36ipm. Is that right. If you also

Yes, Yes, and...Yes. I think it is a problem with the postscript driver and the print controller. We installed a 2090 a monthago with a SR90 booklet maker, and we couldn't get it to fully work the customer's until we put the Fiery controller on it. I know they have different issues than the 551, but Ricoh said that the SR90 would never work fully in their environment (unix)even with the Fiery. (it's an insurance company that prints their own booklets). However, we had a guy from Hitachi

Image quality on the 8050 is close to the Canon 5100, when last I saw it at Graph Expo. The question I always raise is Konica's lack of experience building their own color units. Attached is a recently released list of approved paper stocks for the 8050.

I placed an equitrac solution in the beginning of 2003. It went very rough and we ended up pulling the fax tracking piece tied to a 5000L. I chalked most of the issues up to a Windows 95 environment and the fact that the law firm was not very technically savvy. Maybe there was more to it? This is the only poor experience that I have heard. And, I believe they serve 80% of the largest law firms in the country. They can't be problematic. And the Equitrac component dramatically boosted GP

FYI, the actual url is: http://www.olympus.co.jp/en/ne.../nr031014orphise.cfm The proof will be in the pudding, as we say. Aside from those specs which are very much perceptional, the rest is pretty impressive: 105 ppm, duplexing @ 37 ppm, full color one pass, variable data, electronic sorting, cluster printing, multiple paper sources for postcard to 11 x 17. Not having a scanner is one limitation, but solved with the optional scanner application. Art, what else springs to mind that we can

If you have an image file that you want to use as an overlay, the first thing you have to do is print it using the RPCS driver and print to an overlay file...under job type...then you can call it from the RPCS driver and add it to the document in question. It's great for logo's, even generic letter head.

I have the same situation going on. We seem to be connecting to the LDAP server, but like Jay, no user data. And I'm getting no help from Ricoh TSC. I especially don't like the condescending attitude I get from them. (Sorry...just had to say that.)

I don't think you can set it to default to require a password....Why not just use scan to email?? That doesn't require any software install like scan router does? Seems like doing it the way they want to do would be somewhat cumbersome, and besides that, off the top of my head, I believe that you would have to sell them DTB pro to properly retrieve the documents and convert them out of the copier file format to PDF files.
