well as its highly reliable architecture, which keeps maintenance calls to a minimum. Additionally, power consumption is also reduced through a series of cost-saving technologies, including auto shut-off mode that switches power off during pauses, energy-saver mode that cuts power 85 percent during printing lulls, and economy mode. Understanding the amount of time allocated to systems management, Ricoh has made several utilities – Web Image Monitor, SmartDeviceMonitor and DeskTop Binder

Not as limited as you think. We carry the high end Konica Minolta. We have been sucessful with placing the units especially when competing against the RICOH BOx. The 1050 is as strong as it gets but remember can be scaled down as well to a straight production system with stanrard finishg which can be very competetive with the RICOH box. The options for finishing are countles but the in-line folding truly is not great for production. It also slows the system down tremendously. However so does

processes and efficiencies, with completion by 1 April 2007. Sales Force and Services Automation projects have established a standard process for Ricoh EMEA Group, which is intended to be implemented into all of the European country operations over the next 3 years. Mr. Shiro ‘Simon’ Sasaki, Chairman of Ricoh EMEA Group and CEO of Ricoh Europe B.V. explains, “Our vision is to be the Winners in the 21st Century and we know what we need to do to make sure we achieve it.

I heard through the Grape vine that Ricoh is going to Private Label Print Audit 5 and make it available to all dealers and channel sales. Well, there goes another edge I had on the competition, quess I'll have to sell it as the "real version" and support is direct from Print Audit.

Aficio League is a web resource for Ricoh sales people in the US. It is passcoded...... There is a TCO application that is on the Aficio League, the only one I have found out side of the Aficio League in on the kyocera site. However it does not give TCO of inkjets or geljets. Here is the link for the Kyocera sute with the TCO http://usa.kyoceramita.com/KMAGlobalpub/jsp/Kyocera/home.jsp

have to agree that the user panel on the SAVIN is more user friendly, especially now with the stupid screen on the new units, but watch out for the new TOSHIBA line they will give us a run for your money. Also I dion't know what other markets are like; but where I am at they have flooded the market with vendors worse than RICOH - another reason prices are low. I think we are up to 7 competitors that rep the TOSHIBA line. Hope this is helpful!

, fell 100 yen, or 1 percent, to 9,470. Ricoh Co., Japan's third-biggest color laser printer maker, dropped 75 yen, or 3 percent, to 2,415. Ricoh made 48 percent of its total sales overseas.

I also had a big problem with this. When the 470w was out, I kept losing to used Xerox's and OCE digital systems. So the 240w came out and I thought I had it made. Wrong. My competition was selling their product AND 240w systems...often at a lesser costs than mine. Being honest, I got pissed. However, I just accepted that new rules were now in play. Instead of blaming everyone else for this "unfair practice", I just developed a new strategy. It didn't work for every sale, but if you have some

Dave won the DocumentMall Contest from Ricoh! Not sure what he won, but I am sure he is very happy! Kudos!! Here is his Case Study! Ricoh Case Study Winner Financial Market A financial planning firm staffing two financial planners and two assistants in Kalamazoo, MI had already purchased a 3035SPi with standard DocumentMall. The Ricoh dealership trained the firm on DocumentMall and the customer soon discovered that managing, storing and sharing documents via DocumentMall was more cost-effective

In our market, only us and Danka have Toshiba, and Danka is two reps for the whole state so we rarely see them. For RFG, there are 4 other dealers besides ourselves...so our flood is more RFG than Toshiba.

Thak you! Right now I have a link on the main page for the KYO site, I am learning how to put the Konica link in, however everytime I do it, the page gets pushed. Can anyone help me with the HTML needed?

Canon's been offering eCopy like this for over a year now, the only catch is that you have to run a seperate server/pc on the network that manages the eCopy OP embedded software. Not a bad option of there are going to be more than 4 eCopy's sold. If its under that, the pricing tends to be more expensive for the embedded version. Also, if the client doesn't have an in house SMTP server, you will need to setup one independent of the eCopy server. Just some extra thoughts, I sold Canon for 5 years

positioned to benefit from the advantages of MFPs. A typical MFP replaces three or sometimes four conventional devices: printers, faxes, scanners and photo-copiers. This provides compelling benefits for smaller business and home-workers. The most obvious of these is the direct saving on initial purchase price; the cost of an MFP is usually much lower than the cost of purchasing all four of those devices separately. Entry-level monochrome MFPs now start from under £100, with colour devices starting at
