This Week in Copiers Twenty Years Ago

Second Week of November 2004

Real Copier Sales

We struggle with this every day. I think that it's comforting to know that there is more business out there to call on than we have time in the day, otherwise we would be looking for something else to do. Prioritizing and being realistic about what you can do and where you are really spending your time takes discipline and the only way to succeed is to work smarter and harder. If we don't, the competition will.........read more

Have a Savin 4018d on demo. Has print/scan/fax - have checks in second drawer - problem - when 1st drawer runs out of paper on a print job or fax job - it auto switches and pulls a check. Don't have this problem on copy because we turned auto tray switch off - any suggestions on how to resolve this would help us win the deal. Thanks in advance!

1045 Printing Problem

this problem). Yes, definitely weird. We the tried using the PCL driver and it worked. Since getting a new WinXP PC, another agent is having a similar issue now. No response when trying with the RPCS driver, and when the PCL driver is used, it works, but very slowly. A 3-page document spits out each page about a minute apart. In the printer properties, I changed it to start printing only after the last page is spooled, as well as for it to print directly without spooling at all. Neither of those

Sales Tip

Art Post (Guest) ·
Sales Tip (repost from sales edge) All my manager seems to care about is how many sales calls I have made today! Any tips on how I can get him to realize some of the sales cycles take a lot of behind the scenes work? bI am sure we would all agree that quality and quantity aren’t the same thing. One well planned sales call with a qualified prospect may be worth 10 or more cold calls. On the other hand, most sales managers would tell you that salespeople generally don’t spend enough time in

Go to “user tools” and select the second cassette for “special” paper. When you print the checks from the print driver you must select “tray 2” and “special Paper”. Under no circumstance will anything copy, fax or print from this cassette, unless you select “special”.

LET'S Talk about the new HP "Market Buster" MFP!

our customers to develop a breakthrough approach for copiers. This is a fundamentally different approach, one that will change the game. We believe that the 4345mfp will get us 10 per cent of market share in the copier space." Incredible statement, could it be true? A few things I have found [LIST] Cartridge cost based on 5% (not 6%, that we copier people use) is $205.95, which represents a cost of .011441 per copy. Our toner yields are based on 6%, so we can add another 16% to their cost or

Page Retransmission

tyler101868 (Guest) ·
I have a customer who wants to be able to have his fax print all of his incomming messages and then forward the message to another fax. The FAX3310L lists "page retransmission" as a feature. Is this what I am looking for? Or could this be done just using fax forwarding? Thanks in advance for the input. Tyler

Re: model space or paper space from AutoCAD.

I just called one of my higher volume 470 customers and asked him the same question. He did confirm that "all plotters" will print from both model and paper space. To him, it seemed like a silly question coming from someone that should know AutoCAD. Maybe the intern needs to go back to school. Close the deal and spend the $$$

Re: VT 6000 feeding envelopes

Art Post (Guest) ·
Gregg: There is no attachment from Ricoh or any other third party vendor. All you can do is change the feed tires (they should be replaced every 200K), you can also instruct the customer to fan the envelopes, run them at a lower speed (60 cpm). If paper is feeding ok, do not try to adjust the feed timimg. Envelopes were always a problem, however repalcing feed tires, running the system slower and only insterting 40-60 envelopes at a time may increase the reliability. Art

Re: Savin 4018d auto paper tray switch

Brad Sipes (Guest) ·
Go into the print driver and change the tray options from Auto Tray Select to Tray 1. This will force the device to pull from tray 1 only and won't switch to tray 2 (since it's not auto selecting. I had a similar situation and we actually loaded one print driver for normal tray 1 printing and then loaded a second driver (for the person who printed the checks) so it was defaulted to tray 2. We changed the driver name to say 2018D check printer or something like that... Hope this helps!
