This Week in the Copier/Office Equipment Industry 10 Years Ago Third Week of January 2006

Worked on my end at work and home. How does one sign up for this and are Jewish Temples allowed? Thanks -=Boston Mike=- Theo's back and you are all in BIG Trouble!

The customer needs to be registered and I don't know how much they (NCPG) are going to care. For them, the more members, the better.

I had a lots of problems with the GBC unit when it first came out. LOTS of problems. But after we got it all ironed out it has been running great. The GBC rep at vision admitted there we some problems but he said the latest version has eliminated the problems. He was willing to give us one to test for 30 days to prove it. We have an SR90 on the same system it has been great. We have a number of SR90s out in the field without any major issues. If your customer is going to run a lot of...

I may be opening a can of worms here but I got a call from Polek&Polek. I can't remember which one they have but whichever one they have, they were willing to send me one for 30 days no risk/no cost. I don't know if that offer is open to anyone or just people who do business with them.

On most of the products you can program something into Program 10 and then go in and have the machine auto start in program 10 mode. I'd check into that.

look up info on sharing files with pcs. osX path \\ipaddress\username\public\scans in authentication user name may need computername/username make sure that you set permisions on folders (cmd I on folder to bring up permissions) sharing pane of system preferences put a check on windows file sharing the window will also show info at bottem relating to path to use

I've done this, it works as Glnk8ster indicated. Setup the OSX machine to do windows sharing, point the copier to the OSX machine. TADA!

Although I live here in the strange world that is inhabited by both Bears fans and Packers fans (southeast Wisconsin), if I didn't vote for the Steelers my fiance would kill me!

Maybe you need to rethink your decision to marry her...I mean, this is important stuff.

somehow a phrase with the word "whipped" comes to mind.

pdf from XES brochure - made by fuji of japan. you can also go to digital es.com for an interesting veiwpoint.... The aatched XES 6294 brochure.pdf has been moved to www.documentmall.com accountname: art_post username: p4pusers passcode: goodpals select the p4p user cabinet, then the wideformat folder, then Xerox Folder.

Since the only version of this brochure is European, here are a few specs so we can crush this system also. Xerox specs (mindful this is the euro specs), however I have converted the mm to inches. Width 55", Depth 22", Height 43" Weight 535LBS (this thing is a beast, trying getting this thing up a flight of stairs!) Recommended Installation: Width 99" and Depth 76" (I have double checked and this seems what they are calling for). Long Plots: need to max memory to 1.25GB Embedded Controller:...

Hey, boys, take it easy, I'm a woman! Do I get points for being the understanding type????! LOL Go Cubs!

female and a sports fan? will you marry me?

I've had the opportunity to use FM Audit. While it is nice to have the info collected it doesn't take the place of a true site survey. It does and has missed printers. But that could be because it is an appliance that you really need to have a good handle on to use.

Art..does your client have Print Mail working now and how was the install? Is it all is said?

I have seen the same thing and called tech support but no one has an answer. I’ve leave e-mails with Ratio, and then I get a call from Ricoh telling me not to talk to them. With over 60 units in the field, it would make me to get an answer to this minor problem.

We are finally installing next week! We have been waiting for three weeks for the saddlestitch finsiher. We are going to deliver with out, and Ricoh says we should have one by the third week of Feb! I'll keep you posted on the customers thoughts of Print Mail. Art Post

We have been using Print Audit "Print Key" and it works great. Plug it in, provide the IP Range for what devices you want scanned (most IT support people know this off the top of their heads) and then let the "Key" search. With in just a minute or two the results are downloaded to the key and you return to the office. At the office you can get some nice reporting informatation on the environment and then position your offering. FYI - we aren't using it as much as I would like, but where we...

Re-installing the software seems to work for a permanent fix. Sometimes it's just a matter of checking the Reader on in the Properties tab...An IT guy at a company where this occured told me a "de-bugging" program they run on weekends throughout their network may cause the readers to turn off.

Art, you are right on! soft costs are a huge factor that many companies do not look at. the question then becomes, how do you get to the point where you are finding those soft costs? frankly, purchasing agents don't care, department heads...maybe. who is it that will focus on "big picture" items? who are the innovators in a company? the out of the box thiners? And can make your finding out about everything possible? High end assessments,like Printwise/Pagetelligence, are invaluable to...

Neal, thanx for the vote! However, I cut and pasted this paragraph from web article I saw a few days ago. I thought it would be a good to keep it and share it with others!~ Art Post

In reading the article one thing came to mind. What is different? By that I mean that I am convinced that what so many sales reps and their dealerships are doing little more than that already. It amazes me when I am involved with my reps in deals today where the other companies and their reps have done little homework and simply ask two questions...how much you spending and when you want it? So many today are simply "Walmarting" their product. Going in with the lowest price and hoping for...

Thanks for the smile. It's genetic: my mother is a ferocious Bears fan! (So I leave town when the Steelers and Bears play....)

Okay. I found that when adequate time was allowed for Plot Base to close before reopening the readers opened 100% of the time. However, when insufficient time was allowed I received an error saying that Plot Base was already running and the CFG & SSL readers failed to open 100% of the time. So, it's necessary to allow ample time for Plot Base to shut down before opening again. Also, if the reader is closed when shut down it will not open when reopened. I talked with Mike from Ratio (the...

GREAT INFORMATION, jswinberlin...thanks for the follow up !

There's no way it will work...different electrical connections being one of many reasons.

Does anyone have the paper roll option for the 470W that they would like to sell? Thanx Art Post

J I also spoke to Ratio and got the smae response. I think some customers or shuting down the PC before closing Plotbase.

quote: I talked with Mike from Ratio (the software developer) today and he said to also check in the C:Spool directory for the cfg and ssl readers. There should be only two files in them; in.use and default.ssl If there are others such as prn or other unsupported files this may jam things up. This is why reinstalling the software may correct the problem. FYI reinstalling the software won't delete unsupported files in this path. I was fighting this issue, Uninstalled and reinstalled the...

I looked. I really thought we had one but no go...sorry.

Art....link doesn't work

Update, I meet with BERTL today and have secured IT chat for all of our members at no cost. I realize some of you already receive this for free. However, that means you must navigate to another site. I hope to have the up and running within a week or so! Art Post

Our technicians are Novell Certified. I'll forward your question to them and see what transpires. In fact, I will be installing a 3025 SPF as soon as it arrives from Ricoh, and it will be on a Novell network. We placed the order Monday; so, it will probably be here one day next week. When is your meeting?

Has any got them?Are you using them?How are they working for you?Who is the top maker of these?Any other things I should know?

WEST CALDWELL, N.J., Jan. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh Corporation, a leadingprovider of digital office equipment, announced today that nQueue, a Phoenix-based information accountability solutions provider for law firms, has joined Ricoh's Alliance...

I've been puzzling over this one a almost a month now -- a client has a Aficio Color 4006, along with the Fiery module for allowing the system to be used as printer. The machine has been (what appears to be) powering off totally - the fans die, the...

If you have a printer in your territory with this system, most of them are not happy with the halftone reproduction. Just ask them and they will tell you.Of course if you are selling against this unit, focus on the halftone quality!Godd SellingArt Post

Savin gives us a discount, something like 2-3% in lieu of warranty claims. Thanks for the input tho.

Are there any Ricoh dealers out there that are getting a discount in lieu of warranty claims?

On the server you need to install the inf file for other operating systems. The D2 board is the interface PCI on the server that the Ricoh connects to. From the workstation browse for the “tools” folder on the server and you should see the winprint driver. SNMP only needs to be turned on at the server.
