This software lets administrators design and deliver sophisticated workflow- and repository-connected scanning applications right on the device

Re: Why Color?

beachcopy (Guest) ·
Hey Ricoh guys. I recently became a member of the site and have learned a lot! I need some help though. I am competing with Xerox on a color deal. The prospect is doing around 10K per month color, 20K per month b/w and would like to staple duplex. Xerox is doing CPC program, which is really one of my main stumbling blocks. What would you guru's suggest as solution? Thanks, Chris

Re: Why Color?

Need more info in my opinion. Are you competing against the C40 or the 3535? Are the color applications graphic arts or business quality? How is the color being done currently? How important is speed? Do they need to print on thick or coated stock? Will it be a copier only or copy/print solution? Do they want color scanning? Is there much potential for mixed color and B&W originals within a single file? We have so many very different solutions now so the fact finding is much more critical. The

Re: Kyo's Drums Need User Intervention!

Just so you guys know, the user intervention is not new. It is actually part of the toner replacement process. There is actually instructions on the box of toner for this. These machines have a pm cycle of 400K and 500K. A little intervention is required. The whole process takes about 30 seconds. We have been selling these products for three years now, and they eat Ricoh's lunch service wise. Just my two cents. BTW, We are a twenty year Ricoh dealer.

Re: 1060 and Twain driver

Ted, The client's software is supposed to work with the network connection, but I am pretty sure that this has nothing to do with their software. I am getting the same error message when using the TWAIN driver in my office when scanning from Illustrator, Publisher and even simple Microsoft Imaging. I am pretty confident that this is a problem with the TWAIN driver and not any specific software issue. Thanks for the quick response. I am setting up the third 1060 for testing purposes in my demo

worked, so I am not yet sure that my client with the original problem won't have to run NetBEUI also (Ricoh Tech Services said they would, but my IT guys are not excited about using NetBEUI), but I'll find out tomorrow. I also wanted to let you know that my Service Mgr. found the same thing you guys did concerning XP and the firewalls, but the client is running 2000 Pro and there were no firewalls to bypass. But at least I'll know what to look for next time when it won't work on an XP workstation

Re: 2232/38 ACS problem continued.

Melissa (Guest) ·
I ran into the same problem. But it makes senses why it doesn't work. You have to turn the user codes on for B & W as well. If you run ACS the user does not have access to the b & W or at least the code is not turned on. I don't know how Ricoh would fix this besides giving the option for ACS to be part of the user code set up!

1060 and Twain driver

it with every scanning software I can think of. I have tried it on two different 1060's. I have tried it on Windows 2000 and XP laptops with crossover cables. We have called Ricoh Tech Services and were told that the TWAIN driver needed NetBEUI running on the network, but this hasn't worked for me either. Now Tech Services is telling us that we need to post a "Tech Alert" because they have never heard of this problem (I'm afraid this is their way of putting me on the back burner). I find it
