Have a Savin AC205 set up USB. Using scan to application scanning to MY DOCUMENTS - works fine except scans as a TIFF, is there any way to have it scan as a Mulitpage TIFF or scan as PDF?

How does the cost to service the Savin SDC555 with parts, supplies & toner compare with the cost to service the Savin C2824 series? Thanks

Seems like the Katana or the MP135 is set to launch in Japan on Feb 23, 2006!I got specs from the Japan web site, I'm sure specs will change for the US. Alos please keep in mind that I had to do a google translation for the information that is...

Good News, I won against this system about a month ago! Bad News, I won with the OKI 1624MF! The Xerox XC2424 is just another reason Ricoh needs to develop a color MFP system with no 11 x 17 capability! You could switch gears and offer ther CL2000N with the IS200e. However, I think the customer will be unhappy with the FCOT. On the other hand he or she may not. "upto" usually means that when you print at the highest resolution the print speed will be reduced. I would tend to think this is true

hello all, whilst thanking you all for the information supplied so far, I would like to add yet another question to this problematic customer. Whislt awaitng for a solution for my previous the client has started using the AF2045 and 3030 on the network. One of his requests was the use of some sort of confidential printing and for those who have come across it, Ricoh has just introduced new software call "Enhanced Locked Print" Since he started using this software, he has been calliong 2 to

skills. He does not see the need NOW to advance his skills with computers or software. We recently had a document-imaging seminar with Ricoh, out of the seven reps from our company only three attended. One left by noon and another left by 2PM. Three (one was sick, I question the other two) called in sick that day and one said he had an important appointment. None of them has every sold or proposed a document imaging solution, or software that added value to the customer. What can dealers do to

Well..... Ricoh does state that there is a certain envelope that they have tested. It is in the paper specs for the 4000DN. If I have it I will post it here. I too sold a 2 4000DN's and niether does envelopes without wrinkling. With one customer I gave him the specs for the envelopes and he has never called me since. Is that a good thing or bad thing? Back to Hundreds and Thousands of envelopes.... do they need full color or black? If i is black then I would be talking to them about a

I'm really not up to snuff with the Savin numbers, would this be the old 8ppm color MFP compared to the new 10ppm color MFP? Art Post

I just tried to access the message board and the ricohconnects site through the Aficio League and both are still not working. Oh well, Neal is right, they should give me a call!!

Ricoh Connects is up, however message board still has errors, same thing on your end?? Art Post

Savin SDC555 = Aficio 5560 Savin C2824 = Aficio 3228c

Not sure if this is as specific as you need re the breakdown of costs, but it's a good start: InfoTrends/CAP Ventures did a study in September on document costs. Attached is a pdf of the press release announcing the study that appeared in the Print on Demand newsletter. Also, the FREE report "Assessing & Benchmarking Document Costs: Developing a Future Document Strategy" is available for download through their web site: https://store.infotrendsresear...rchResults.asp?Cat=1

Thats too bad the Aficio name is going, since we always have Ricoh Direct competition where we are we always refer to our machines as Aficio's not Ricoh's
