Hello out there...

Im a new member for this forum and mainly I have bee working in Canon models, but I got a new customer who has a Ricoh Aficio machine, is the 1113, but similar to 1015.

He is asking me to do the tune up service, because th

bluetooth printing

This new customer has no real network. So our salesman get the great idea to sell them a bluetooth option for their new Aficio 2232. This is my first experience with bluetooth and I can't find much documentation on it from Ricoh. I know the customer has to have some sort of bluetooth option or software installed on their PC, but what do we need to make this work. And how do you make a bluetooth printer print?

Re: Kyocera KM2030 vs Aficio 2018

AS A RICOH/KYOCERA SALESMAN, THE KM2030 IS NOT A GOOD MACHINE. IT'S HARD TO USED BECAUSE OF NO TOUCH PANEL, SLOW DUPLEX, VERY POOR INTERNAL FINISHER. IN THE 3 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN SELLING KM I ONLY HAVE SOLD 3.I STEER MY CUSTOMERS AWAY FROM THE 2030. I CAN SELL A KM 3035 FOR NOT MUCH MORE THAN A KM 2030 AND IT'S ALOT BETTER. THE RICOH 2018/2018D IS A MUCH BETTER MACHINE. KM IS INTRODUCING A NEW 16CPM/18CPM/20CPM AND A 25 CPM THAT IS SUPPOSED TO COME OUT THIS MONTH.

Re: Smartnet monitor password

Thanks for the reply Bob. That is the info I have relayed to the customer. However, I know the reset method of which you speak and it is the long way around. This from Ricoh "One of the easiest ways to reset the NIB / NIC of your MFP or printer is to use our "NIB Setup Tool" that comes with our "SmartNetMonitor for Admin" utility. Once you launch Nib Setup Tool and select a device, you can choose the "Nib" menu and select "reboot Nib". You will then be prompted with a screen that has a checkbox

Re: 2238 Color Toner Yields

G'Day all. You will get your yield based on the figures given by Ricoh. However it is important to understand the issues with coverage. Also bear in mind that coverage to useage are not proportional. A square block of colour on a page 100x100=1000, if you double the size of the square you quadruple the coverage 200x200=4000. Also dependant upon what you're printing will make a difference. 5% of text and 5% of graphics are different due to image processing and laying of toner and charge.

Re: bluetooth printing

From what I know bluetooth is a wireless connection. The customer would need some type of Bluetooth device in the PC. If they are running XP, the user would have to install the software for Bluetooth and then let XP find the device. I do not know if there is software from Ricoh for our Bluetooth card. Making it print would be just like any other, select print, and go. Can anyone else clarify and add? Thanx

Re: New 31 PPM color

I have been putting the new 3131 through it's paces and have shown to several customers. Overall print quality is excellent - different from 6513 but obviously true 8 bit color. Should be a good fit to compete with Canon 1180 - ie. good print quality, fiery driven, low cpp and cheap. The juries still out on the durability and reliability with thick stocks, but I'm glad to finally have a higher speed "graphics" machine to offer.

Format (WF) via eCabinet. The printer driver needs to be 100% PCL compatible and the WinPrint driver needs to be printed to directly. What you might be able to do is setup a separate printer in Autocad printing that points to a paperless printer on the eCabinet. The user would have to process a separate print job when they wanted to send a job to the eCabinet. The jobs would be saved as PDFs on the eCabinet. You also should be able to take scanned Tiff files and pass them to the eCabinet

Re: C2338

Yes, the 2238 comes with bypass standard, however it is not an option for doing covers, therefore the paper weight is limited. Great info on the Canon. I don't think my prospects are seriously considering Canon because I contacted them before they were in the market and other vendors are running a "me too" game. Plus I'm offering GEM pricing in order to place some needed color units in my territory.

Egads, it's Friday night almost 10PM and I'm still working.  My day started off at 5AM.  I arrived at the office about 6:30AM. Had to quotes to prepare before I had two appointments that were an hour away.  Closed two of the appointments and then traveled back to office to prepare some material for another appointment around 2PM.  Second appointment went okay and sparked some interest in the new PRO5160.  Did a few cold calls, nothing to speak of. On my way home, I received an email from a net new stating they wanted to move forward with an order.  Not bad three days into the new month and 3 orders. Gotta keep going!

Xerox Copying New Growth Plan

$0.67 to $0.72 a share. Xerox has responded to the challenge of competitors such as Canon (NYSE: CAJ - News), Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ - News), and Ricoh, which are making the shift to color products. With color products making up about 25% of Xerox's revenues, it is plain to see that the product line has become the key driver in the company's growth strategy.

Thursday had me in the field with 2 appointments and ten or so planned stop ins and cold calls. I also mentioned that I would be on the lookout for other opportunities for prospects.  Many times reps will ask, "where are the prospects?". Ah, grasshopper the prospects are all around you. All you have to do is use your eyes.  Many of you know that I sell my fair share of wide format, and with wide format prospecting all you have to do is use your eyes for prospects.  When you're out driving, sitting at a traffic light, or maybe in a hitting the head there are prospect (potential client) galore!  All commercial trucks need to be lettered with the company name. Over the years Ive written down those names and or taken pictures of the truck. Once I'm back in the office I make the call, some work out some don't. However it's a great way to get a conversation going when you mention you saw one of their trucks.  Try it, because you never know what tomorrow will bring!

This Week in the Copier Industry 15 Years Ago (Second Week of July 2004)

Fifteen years ago, hmmm, I was 47 years old and was with Century for 5 years. That time was something special since it was what I call the digital age of copiers. There were still analog copiers to be upgraded and the we attacked new business was to educate the client on how much that fax and printer cost per page was.  Faxing was still big and most fax machines had a cost of 3 cents per page or higher.  For companies that were receiving a couple of thousand pages a month the cost justification was easy. How I loved those days!

Fast forward and we can still sell ROI, fax usage is down, however color volume is up and there are more color A4 printers out there that are still ripe for replacing.  You just need to find them!

I gave each driver a user code and in system settings/user code management told the 2560 to require user codes for the print drivers. Here's the problem; there are two Macs on the network and the Mac drivers don't have any place to add a user code, therefore the Macs now can't print to the 2560 that is asking for a user code

Keep in mind this means no one can use the copier while you have your documents in the adf. As you know we can scan to the desktop, to a file folder on the network or an ftp folder. The other thing you need to know is where is this scan to be stored and why. How often will it need to be

This Week in the Copier Industry 15 Years Ago

This Week in the Copier Industry 15 Years Ago (First Week of June 2004)

·

It was 15 years ago this week when Ricoh launched the MP 240W digital wide format printer/copier/scanner. It was a fantastic time for me in sales.  I guess I was at the right spot at the right time. Similar to when Minolta launched the Minolta 450Z copy machine back in 1984.

Ricoh broke the bank with the MP 240W in 2004.  There was no other digital wide format like it that could print/scan and copy for the price.  Many Architects, Engineers and Construction companies were farming out prints and scans to repro shops, and Staples for .50 -1.00 per square foot. It didn't take that many prints to cost justify the 240W at MSRP. Selling at MSRP would net you about $8-$9K in GP and the commissions were 50% of the GP. It was not uncommon to take home $12-$16K per month. 

Yup, we had that market controlled for about two years before Xerox launched their first digital wide format.  Believe it or not we even delivered the 240Ws for on-site demonstrations. We sold everyone we demo'd!

There were some growing pains with understanding the AEC market, but Ricoh had some excellent DSM's, and product trainers that gave us the basics.  We pounded them out left and right  and all were single placements, all had high GP and we gained mega new accounts.  Gaining those new accounts also gave us opportunities to place digital copiers.

After 15 years, we still have a few in the field.  Hard to believe right?  Like I said Ricoh hit a home run with the print engine, and the compact size of the device.

Enjoy these awesome threads from 15 years ago this week!



Scan n Capture from the Copier

With its new Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform (MEAP) architecture, Canon is increasingly building standard scanning and more robust "Universal Send" functionality right into its ImageRunner copiers (with no need for hardware upgrades or add ons). To provide a more robust scanning functionality, Canon continues to partner with eCopy, the Nashua, NH-based provider of eCopy ShareScan. Until

Re: Riso HC5000

Yes, I'll be at the dealer meeting. The Lexmark affiliation is actually over a year old. Their concept was to provide a turn-key printing solution that would have print jobs automatically routed to the most cost-effective printing device depending upon preset print parameters. I had always viewed it as a desperate attempt to remain viable. However, between the Ricoh SeriPrinter and the Riso HC5000, I have an improved confidence in the future of Digital Duplicators.

The Lexmark thing is now providing stability for Riso. Their sales actually increased last year, but only due to the sales of Lexmark. Otherwise, duplicator sales declined sharply, I hear.

Personally, I'm getting my butt kicked in with color scanning and lower MSRP's for competetive models. Now here's what Ricoh should have done, kept the W2400 and lowered the list to $6995. Price will still be an issue even with the W3600 now at the W2400 price, don't they get it??? A W2400 could then list with RF, print and scan for about

Re: Notes on new OCE Plotwave

Here's my question to Ricoh, when the heck are you going to revamp the W2400, give us color scanning, usb printing, and lower the MSRP so we can be competetive again!!! We are losing installed units to the competition and your market share is now eroding. Heck, this system will have street pricing at $16k or less with color scan!!!!!! Here's an idea, take the w2400 and slow the speed to 2ppm "D" size. Bring the MSRP down to $6995 for the base machine, and this allow up to replace low end inkjet

Okay Folks lets keep in mind that the marketplace is tough and the revenues have to come from where they be had. I hancdle the P4P marketplace and believe me $.0044 for 11x17 is competitive, maybe a little high. Don't know where that quote came from but as I've said before there ARE regional differences in costs to do business. Was this a franchise Print Shop? If so there are contracts to live up to.

Re: Hot Spot Printers

SO, the way the Hotspot printers work (as I understand it) is, you plug them in and give them internet access and there is a label on the front with the printers email address. You email your document to the printer and it prints. You can optionally require that the submitter pay a fee via credit card (provider takes a cut of that)before it prints. So, the service fees for this would cover the email address, not an IP as the printer is sitting on your network, presumably behind firewalls, etc.

Re: Band With Auto-Negotiaion

It sounds like you are refering to having a 10mb or 100mb network. All of the ricoh network devices I'm familiar with use Auto-detect to determine the speed of the network but then they set that value and do not detect again. So when the printer is turned on it looks at the network and detects 10mb speed, and sets the card to 10mb. If the network chances to 100mb the printer does not detect this until it is turned off and on again.

Best bet is to put it on as a trial, based on a pre

Well, I think GWA refers to the controller almost exclusively. Ground Work Architecture as I understand it refers to the fact that the components such as memory, hard drive, networking, etc. in the controller, are shared by the system and accessed as needed. This is why the old systems needed 2 network connections for printing and scanning and now we only need one (because they didn't have this).

Page Numbering

·
We have been told for a year now Ricoh will be updating the Page Numbering max digits to 5 instead of the current 3. For example: Page numbers are currently limited to 999; we have a number of law/court clients that need the ability to number to 99,999. It would also be nice to be able to include two letters in front of the number, again, for all the law clients out there utilizing 'bates' stamping. Anyone have the 'inside scoop' from Ricoh on this one?

Re: color volume for 1232

When we had a Ricoh-led launch of these products, we were told 5K and 8K with no more than 1/3 color. I asked them the significance of 1/3 volume and whether the "1/3 rule" applied if they were only doing 2,000 a month. If their total volume was 2K, is there any reason those copies cannot be 100% color. Their response was back to the pat answer of the "1/3 rule". I asked if it was somehow necessary that "X" number of B&W go through the machine and they said "not that we know of" so I came back

It will run up to 253 gsm through the bypass. They have also incorporated the Universal Send option that they have on most of their B/W imagerunners. We just got one on our show room last week.

When scans replace printouts and copies, it often translates into lower lease charges for dealers and diminished (high-margin) consumables revenue. In addition, selling and integrating scanning tends to complicate and lengthen the sales cycle, something many dealers want to avoid. "The [MFP] vendors are serious about

This Week in the Copier Industry 15 Years Ago

This Week in the Copier Industry 15 Years Ago (First Week of March 2004)

Seems we're coming to the end of the first quarter already. After dumping everything into the end of 2018. I've had a rough go of it for the past 7 weeks. Last week proved to be better with two orders and one of them was $45K.

We're also going see have then end of the fiscal years for most if not all of the copier manufacturers.  This time of years scares me because nothing is safe, you need to ask the tough questions up front and try your best to wrap up business either the day you met with the client or a few days after. Keep in mind that you need to set the next meeting with your prospect or client at the end of the first meeting. This can or will stop the ghosting or playing phone tag.

Re: CMF 7000 Volume Poll

I personally would not even try. I would try to place two, or, one CMF and one printer only. Or say, lets try one and see how it goes and put in another if it makes sense. I know that may not fly well, but it's worth a try. Plus, you know most of the time you can add another 15% on top of what they think they are going to do, now you are over 23,000.

The presses might very well be attached to online sorter towers that have up to 300 bins per tower. I have seen up to 3 towers attached together. We used to have the same (although only 200 bins) for the duplicators, called CopySorters (for Gestetner brand). They didn't work very well, do to the fact that they would deliver the prints face down into the bins, causing all kinds of smudging issues, because the ink didn't have time to dry.

I don't know where you got the idea that presses had more down time. I personally don't think I would suggest that in a conversation with a printer. I also wouldn't suggest that your quality is better because it's not. A press also can run any color anytime without a $1,000 cylinder requirement for each color. They also have less registration issues than we do. Keep in mind that a press could be $30,000 or $300,000 or $1,000,000 plus so it kind of depends on what type of press you are being
