I just think of Print Management (or Managed Print Services) as the extension of copier programs into the print environment...all service and supplies for a set cost per copy (or in this case print). Sometimes it includes hardware, sometimes not. The other aspect we bring to the table is the establishment of automatic ordering by the device thereby eliminating the need for pre-paid inventory and all the problems associated with it i.e too much, too little, obsolete, employee theft, etc. We also

Envelopes are not supported on the C6000/C7500. Why would you want to run envelopes on a 70ppm color device? Sell them a printer in addition, or give them one. It's much cheaper to change a fusing unit in a printer than an MFP.

I think your giving three seperate yet totally intergrated defintions of Print Management shows just how great a disconnect there can be when dealing with our customers in regards to providing a PM solution. I was recently doing a discovery with a company's CIO and while a PM solution had been addressed with the previous CIO and accepted as one, the new CIO saw it merely as a way for the current vendor to lock in recharged toner cartridges and service at a hefty price.

Our deal is a cpc for a 48 month term and we carry the hardware as well as the service and supplies...for them it is only a quarterly (paid in advance) invoice for a volume of prints...no lease, no long term responsibility

I understand. However, I don't want each user to have to configure their default to b & w or have to remember to choose b&w everytime they print. If I just restrict color, it will result in jobs not printing as opposed to just printing in b&w. The work around I've devised is to install a print driver for a b&W mfp (Savin 9025/33) with similar options for them to use for black only users/jobs.

whatever. All that being said, there is no justification that I can think of for a 300% increase. I have to believe that if you told them that they are stuck with it at that price that they will reconsider. Our goal is that the sales cost needs to be 25% of the street price of new. That way Sales reps can sell at 100% markup and the customer is getting it for 50% of the cost of new.

YES, THE 2,800 was the final cost on the equipment. I quess our beef is that when a customer needs the PM, our charges to the customer is less than the charge to sales person. Plus talking to the tech is useless, they tell us nothing and to speak to management. I can understand a mu on parts and costing for labor and realize the comapany should make money for the prep of the unit. However, I have estimated the parts at about $1800 plus labor, lets give it four hours of labor at 80, which equals

Therefore more sales of lower-priced products hurt gross margins, which fell to 39.3 percent in the 2008 first half. Xerox, which has targeted margins at 40-41 percent, now sees them in the range of 39-40 percent for the full year.

We just brought in a MFX-4550 for evaluation. I printed off all the comments on this page and gave them to my service manager, and he thanks you for all the good insight. We have a tip to share back, and Ryan and Art will be glad to hear this. That annoying "confirm page size" screen that you get every time you open a paper drawer? You can turn it off. Go into the Machine Set-up/Admin Set-up screens, and poke around and you'll find it. We'll let you know how the rest of the evaluation

quote: If I understand right the Sammys are relabeled as Muratec, do you guys see a benefit for being a Muratec dealer vs. Samsung dealer Muratec sent us evaluation equipment, and it came in a Samsung box. They were pretty upfront about relabeling Samsung. Art, you wrote that you've been getting service calls on small printers once you registered as a Samsung service center. Can you share any more about that?

Re: Features you would like to see on future products

The PS3 option for most of the newer models includes PDF Direct Print. You can set up a scan to folder (FTP) using the IP address of the printer you want to output on. This gives you "Scan2Print" capability. And of course, you can choose another folder on the network to scan to in the same operation...

Any suggestions other than what Ricoh is telling us?

MP4000/5000-Rx fax problems

DRichard (Guest) ·
Somebody else must be seeing this...Our MP4000/5000 machines cannot recieve faxes properly when they are generated through IP servers. The line opens but the comm link takes forever and we recieve each page three times. We have set Fax SP1-104-003 bit2=1 per Ricoh Tech Support. Symptoms remained but only the last page came through. Monitor report shows error code 06-21 after each attempt. All incomming faxes from traditional sources work fine. I am being told Ricoh is aware of the problem

Re: usage management

Mr. Copy (Guest) ·
I sold Konica Minolta for 3 years and worked with Konica/Minolta products for 7. One of the major differences between Konica Minolta and Ricoh is administration and ease of use. It is true that Konica Minolta has this feature. The problem with it is that you can not make the quotas time sensitive. It can start to get confusing to the end user when they have to go back in and allow another 100 copies. Ricoh does not have this feature because the designers probably thought that it would

My prospect has told me that the Konica Minolta product they are looking at offers the capability to set specific copy quota's for users so that they may have unlimited b&w, but have 100 color copies per user for example. #1. Is anyone familiar with this feature on the Konica Minolta systems or other manufacturer's systems? #2. Assuming Ricoh products don't offer this, how would you handle this question? Thanks for any input!

Re: Print Management

My experience with Print Director has just been training. It is just PrintAudit product relabeled with Ricoh's name but I still prefer to get stuff from Ricoh if possible. I think by keeping everything Ricoh (when possible) helps keep everything Ricoh (when possible) if you know what I mean. If everything is from Ricoh, they are less likely to go non-Ricoh when the opportunity arises. I can also promote the idea of keeping everything Ricoh as long as I haven't done a bunch of 3rd party stuff

Re: usage management

If you ignore the cost recovery aspect of Ricoh's Print and Copy Vending Embedded Solution, it may work for you. I assume you would be able to set B&W values to 0 and set color values to 1 with a one hundred limit and get what you need. This is a new product so I haven't actually worked with it. In case my attachment didn't work, the brochure number is R2480.

You will increase the speed with the scuzzi, i think dtb and twain is slowing the process down. I have placed one of these in a title company and used the network board and scanned to folder, customer was very happy and the speed was very good. Go with the network board option and mirror what the Xerox is doing.

Re: Default Username & Password

Let me inform you of the DISASTER that this can create. The supervisor password should NEVER be accessible for the sales staff or the end-user. The reason for this is if the supervisor password EVER get accidentally changed, (Believe me, sales and customers say that) You CANNOT fix it. You must replace the MAIN board and / or replace the NVRAM which is a nightmare/ and very costly. Just beware of who knows of this specialty login. That is probably why this login has been held in such secrecy

You might think so, but we have at least twenty machines in various locations with exactly the same symptoms. We just yesterday brought one to the shop and reproduced the problem sending test faxes from our Blackberries. This isn't limited to the MP4000-5000 either, we are also getting reports from our field techs they are seeing it from MP2550 and MP2500 series also.
