Increasing color profits?

, developer, oil, drum units, etc. you find in the customer’s supply room belong to you, the dealer. Even if you are not the re-selling dealer, those supplies are yours. The customer’s CPC rate only pays for copier/prints that are used. Toward the end of any lease or service agreement, monitor the amount of supplies that are sent to the customer. Train your staff to politely instruct your customers there is a limit to the amount of supplies that can be shipped. Theoretically, under a cost per copy

two new copier/printers from Ricoh--the Aficio 1224C and Aficio 1232C--designed specifically to address the growing demand for affordable office color documents. In addition to an attractive purchase price and low-cost black-and-white output, the Aficio 1224C/1232C offer full-color copying, printing and scanning services on a pay-as-you-use basis. In fact, all pages are billed according to their status, even in mixed color and black-and-white documents, so users pay for color only if they use

Imbedded PageCounter 100?

·
First of all, for those who may not know, PageCounter 100 is a device similar to a Danyl or Abaddon copy accounting device except this will send copy data and integrate it with print data collected by Ricoh's (Equitrac's) PCSM - Printer Cost and Security Manager. The net result is that the end user does not have to go around and get copy counts and then manually combine them with print counts collected by PCSM. I just found out that there is an imbedded version that is going to be launched in

Re: 1045 and Scan to Email

·
If you need the speed of the 1045 for the copy side than you're stuck with Global or SR Pro, if you can slow things up a bit, and maybe sell the idea of a little color to make up for the speed differential than try selling the new 1232 with a print/scan option. This will scan to e-mail just like the 1060. We got a 1224 and 1232 in the showroom this week and they seem pretty solid.

Absolutely! My comments were not directed at this great site but at Ricoh Corp. I was trying to determine if any of the other Ricoh dealers get information from their DSM/MASM/etc. We, at the end of last year (2002) put over 100 Ricohs into an account. We haven't seen anyone from Ricoh (sales side) at our dealership in well over a year. And we were awarded the AA B/W Dealer of the Year for Ricoh in 2001! To top it off I think it is really strange to not have communcae from the 'upper crust

1045 and Scan to Email

Other than Global Scan, there is no way to scan to email with this product. Am I correct? Also to the Ikon people and other dealers with Canon. The IR500 can scan to email but is it expensive like the 1045 with Global or it more like the 1060 with the printer/scanner option. Need Info ASAP Thanks all

Re: Print Controller for 551

I think it will work! The firmware files for both controllers are the same (0.58). I have found one strange bug in the 1055 driver (definitley the driver, not the controller) and used a 700 driver to work around it with no side effects. I have submitted the bug to Ricoh to see what they say about it. Once I hear from them, I'll post some info on it here. I'll try to catch a 551 or 700 going through refurb and install one of these on it to see. Thanks! Lee

Re: 1027/1022/1035/1045 Stamping

Melissa (Guest) ·
With that though, still does service need to do something. For example, we have a 1045P on the demo floor, and it shows all of the stamps, but the preset (and user) are grayed out. Why is that? I thought that the P versions had the memory maxed out at 96MB!!!?

Re: 1027/1022/1035/1045 Stamping

·
First of all, the 1045P comes with 64MB of memory if I'm not mistaken. Secondly, I suspect the reason why user stamp is greyed out is because there hasn't been one saved there yet. Go to user tools-copier settings-Stamp-User Stamp-Program/Delete and save a user stamp. Then see if it is still greyed out.
