Bates Stamping w/Ricoh Copiers

Art Post (Guest) · 4/24/067:01 PM

I've had a few people ask me about this the last few days. I have recomended a few Bates Stamping solution w/Ricoh copiers. Here's my solution: We all know that we can not do a "bates-stamp" with copying on most of the Ricoh units, however all of our machines can now scan. I instruct the customer to scan the document to a folder on the network and then open the Bates-Stamp software and then select the icon for electronic documents, select the type of stamp that you need, after that you just

Nevertheless, Xerox shares have barely budged over the last two years due to stagnant revenue growth, Barron's noted. At the same time, net income and gross margins have been crimped by rising labor costs, aggressive pricing on some black-and-white office printers and a decline in equipment sales. Still, the shares are trading at just 12.4 times

Ricoh MFPs use 2 bit depth technology with 4 shades per color, vs. Konica's 8 bit depth with 256 shades per color. The Konica color engine (which came from the Minolta side, noted for their color technology) handles color better because it is built to. (What I see when I look at print samples of the same photo: the Konica color looks crisper and more "full bodied"; the Ricoh color looks blotchier and pixelated.)

This is a stupid elementary question, I know but here goes: I found a prospect with an old wide format copier using cut sheets. The could not see a benefit to having a roll feeder. For some reason, I was at a loss for benefits aside from saving on paper which they said they cut their sheets to size. Can someone help me with the benefits of why someone would move to a roll feeder? All I have are: 1. Better for multiple copies. 2. Rotate Sorting 3. Longer size capability. Thanks for any help.

That sounds serious! Check in printer prefereces on one of the tabs there is a print to ____%. I havent used acrobat for a while. It is such a resourse hog and it just too big. And V7 is the worst! It is something like 27Megs. Often when you shut it down it doesnt release the reaourses properly. There is a program out called FOXIT. It is a PDF reader and is only 2M in size. I use that instead and havent seen a problem with it so far.

Why did you say you prefer the Ricoh only when color is not critical?

By default the Ricoh will only produce one set if the paper size is incorrect; even if you manually tell it what paper size to use. Auto continue stops the machine to ask what to do, but has a time out so if one job is incorrect all the jobs don't build up behind it. Therefore is it's set incorrectly

Checked out the new Xerox at a customer's site and this is what I found: Meter reading displays separate meter read for each roll. Need to slide doc feed forward and actually lift off the machine to clear jam in doc feed area. Originals are right justified to scan or copy versus centering like the 240W. To make copy, you need to use touch screen panel to select "Synchro". If you don't select, you will get a copy that is a standard size with lots of blank paper around the image. Scan to mailbox

Re: 1060 print challenge

JasonR · 3/13/068:58 AM

Setting the "LPR" option in "Standard TCP/IP" port is *not* the same as adding a real LPR port. As the Dude mentioned, LPR is alot less problematic, Microsoft has periodicly broken Standard TCP/IP over the years. LPR byte counting is not required for our printers. All byte counting does is tell the printer what size the print file is before it sends the file so that it knows when the end has arrived. Without it, the printer will automatically sense the "end of file". Some printers do require it

Re: 480 Scanning Problem (odd size drawings)

I haven't had much exposure to the 480, but have you tried putting the scan all the way to the right when you feed it in? On the custom sizes, if training is an issue, you could print up a one page training sheet and explain step by step how to enter in the correct information, maybe? I am just trying any idea I can think of.

Re: 480 Scanning Problem (odd size drawings)

Wallin Team · 3/9/064:23 PM

I have not tested any scanning on the 480W as of yet, but I always train customers to set the scan size versus using scanner mode. My experience has been that if your scan is slight skewed or off center, the scanner might recognize a bigger size. When printing, the printer will APS a larger paper size or not allow printing at all. If you have a scanned original that is just over 36", not only will the job redline, but you cannot force it to print to a specific roll. Basically, you are left

I have never seen or heard of the tcp/ip port re-configuring itself, however i have heard of weird things happening if more than 9 or 10 people try to print using 9100 at the same time. With that being said the quickest remedy may be to set printing up using LPR, as it has always seemed to me anyway to be the more stable, especially when printing to a "dumbed" down version of the UNIX OS, which is what is on that print controller.

Can anyone guess how many there were in 1990? Do you give up? There were 25 companies! With many obscure names such as Silver Reed, Sanyo, Towa, Selex and Swintec. Interesting that four of those five names also manufactured typewriters.

The Week in Copiers Fifteen Years Ago

I thought I would mix it up a bit and post some historical points of interest for the first week of February.

Rock singers Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper died in a plane crash. (1959)
The board game Monopoly first went on sale.(1935)
Astronaut Alan Shepard hits three golf balls on the moon. (1971)
The Beatles come to the U.S. for the fist time. (1964)

"Alan Shepard is the only person to hit a golf ball on the Moon. During the Apollo 14 mission he fitted an 8 iron head to the handle of a lunar sample collection device and launched three golf balls. They are still there!"

I'm sure Alan Shepard has this pre-planned and pre-approved to bring along the golf balls and the 8 iron head. Developing a plan and putting the plan in action proves time and time again that we can accomplish anything we want.

FTP won't affect this part of the install. Domain and workgroup might affect it. The way I usually test my user rights is to open the spool folder on the server from a client and make a new folder. If I can do that across the network, I should have all the rights I'll need to accomplish anything.

The customer would need to provide us with adequate, stable power. Any maintenance problems tied to these electrical anomolies would not be covered under their normal maintenance.

You can wear up to 8mm from the TX unit before they may cause a problem. Also as part of your fault finding see if you can find exactly when it happenes. Duplex only, LCT,...

Beware that not all DSL filters are the same, some are crap. Buy a decent filter and you should have no problems. Not heard of dots on the image before though, normally communications failures. You may want to check that ECM is switched on. You should get no dots on received faxes, or sent, if ECM is on.

Re: Color matching 3228/35/45

Well, remember that this profile only affects colors that are out of gamut. Perhaps your file only contains color data that is in the printer's Gamut? then you wouldn't see any change in files printed as long as all the colors are within the gamut. My driver doesn't have a User Settings under CMYK simulation, are you talking about the PC or Mac? (I'm looking at the PC PS driver). On the PC you cannot change the CMYK simulation (beyond the normal 4 choices), I'll have to look at the Mac driver

Well, as far as how the competition counts, I can tell you that the Océ machines count square feet *EXACTLY*. So if you print a 30x42, you get exactly 8.75 on the meter.

He developed the whole configurator on his own and actually put it up in working form before "pitching it" to Ricoh as something they could buy from him. Ricoh claimed that he was an employee and therefore they owned it. From sketchy third and fourth hand reports, I think Jay and Ricoh reached an agreement under which they paid for the site.

It does not make sense to me that Xerox would want to acquire Kodak. Xerox has no interest in consumer imaging and the last thing it needs is two sets of pensions to deal with.
