          If all goes well, I have attached a document that I found here earlier showing what Canon is saying about Ricoh's Document Server. However, this looks like old info because they say the Document server is only available on the 1022 with the addition of a

          dealer.  It doesn't matter that this guy already has Xerox and Oce.  John, you are right on the money all Ricoh cares about is moving boxes.  One thing they had better consider is the image after the sell.  I had the opportunity to sell a machine to someone

          We've had 3 880's go bad.  We tried to fix them, Ricoh came in and got involved, and they say they don't know what is wrong, no fix available.  They ended uup shipping us 3 new finishers as replacements.  They were not ordered at the same time, over a

          company into the red in a very short period of time. As for the Memory Card Explorer for XP 1.00 issue: I can't help you there. It loaded up just fine on my Dell Laptops. I did hear from Ricoh that this software doesn't work right with some computers

          , "Z" is only needed to reinsert the s/n in an memory cleared machine. I read all the "readme"s first before I upgrade any firmware. As to Ricohs Explorer program, in some cases, expecially on laptops, you need to modily the memory area so the program can

          Paducah is about the size of 100,000 but unfortunately we also have a Gestetner dealer, a Lanier Dealer, and we are both Ricoh & Savin.  As for the SM being literate, I know he has been servicing copiers for the last 20 years, but he is better at analog

Ricoh say's officially the z-fold option and 3 hole punch can not be used together but unofficially they say that it can. They say the problem is that there may be some variance on the 3 hole punch when z-folding. I need this function for an application

          I think its a good idea, just to keep everyone sharp. I am sure the leasing companies do not want to see thier rate sheets posted. Lets keep it to a format like this with no attachments. How bout everyone else?

          The Ricoh 1170L has the same feature set as the Samsung 560. We have been selling the Samsung 560 for a while. It's an okay fax but two problems are - toner yield - samsung says 3k but it doesn't get anywhere near that (ricoh says 4500 - I wonder about

Ricoh just issued a bulletin (B620-003) detailing this problem. Symtoms include Black stripes when imagi is rotated; Fax option not detected and/or SC820. An IC on the FCU is to blame. Replace the FCU.

          Word is that Ricoh is putting their label on Brother products and selling them for twice the price of what Brother is.  The new faxes look similar to the Brother 4100 series on the SOHO market.  I'm used to seeing the Function Key or User Tools for setup

          the cause.  Maybe dual access or memory although the Samsungs have 2MB and the Ricoh's I believe a little more.  We're going to try one of the Ricoh's and put it side by side with the Samsung.  Another problem with the Samsungs is multi-page feeding.
