There are those in our industry that continue to blast our because he believes our industry is dying and will self destruct. This coming from a person who is not involved in the day to day business in our industry. That person is a self proclaimed analyst.

However, when one keeps badgering the industry with cries of wolf, then sooner or later those that listen will turn a deaf ear.

I don't mind someone who can point out the faults, but in turn those pointing the finger need to offer up solutions on how change.

Models named as polluters including some Hewlett Packard models.

Re: B2C defined

Shaja · 8/10/071:58 PM

Two things going on there. B2C is about how the b&w and color clicks are handled. Basically, a b&w machine that also has color. Some color copiers can't separate out the solely b&w clicks and charge the color cpc for every click. B2C can make the distinction and charge accordingly. "Creative color" is marketing spin to cover the fact that Ricoh B2C color isn't as good as some other manufacturers, such as Konica Minolta's. Our Ricoh trainer guy also used to say "pleasing color" or "office color

Aficio 2232 Fax forwarding subject line ?

dvb (Guest) · 8/14/078:24 PM

When setting up the aficio 2232 or any Ricoh product is there a way to set a default subject line for scan to email or fax forwarding to email. Customer had a Toshiba machine and liked that the Toshiba could be programmed to include the fax number of a fax that came in on before forwarding to an email account. The message included the fax number of the incoming fax in the body of text of the email. Also for scanning to email can the subject line be defaulted to a certain message ?

CopyFax Jax · 8/14/079:47 PM

I am not sure about the forwarded fax message including the sending fax machine number. I know the default subject for the MP series color machines can be changed to whatever the end user needs. The sending fax machine should transmit the fax information along with the fax so any image printed/viewed should display the fax number anyway. Either way, the current B2C Ricohs are tough to beat in a lot of areas.

Neal · 8/10/076:02 PM

well said Shaja, bit depth is far more important to quality color than resolution. if you have 8 bit 600X600 your quality will be much better than a 2 or 4 bit with a resolution of 2400X1800. Like a Konica minolta guy told me on resolution you can only put so many dot in an inch until they start to just pile up whereas the bit depth has to do with the color variation per pixel.

I have never seen a Ricoh printer (or any other laser printer) consistently produce printed envelopes without creasing the paper. 3 "flaps" of paper going thru pressure and heat - like ironing shirt collar. Humidity seems to affect this more than anything else. GelSprinters won't wrinkle your envelopes. It doesn't appear you can select number 10 size envelopes. I think you will have to input the length and width as a custom size.

The golden age of copiers and some may argue when that was, however I had the opportunity to be in the golden age of the business. It's my belief that the Golden Age of copier started in 1980 and ran till 2010. My reasoning starts with the mass production of plain paper copiers in the early eighties, then the introduction of the digital copiers in the nineties and lastly the coming of age for digital color copiers. Technology which brought about so many changes in those 30 years has taken it's toll with advanced digital process (email, pdf, OCR, document management) that has reduced our clicks for the last 12 years. Change is good and we need to Change!

Re: How Can I Solve this Problem?

CopyFax Jax · 8/2/073:37 PM

Ok, I tested my theory and it does not automate the above scenario. The only thing that does work is to scan to folder and have a shortcut of the PS driver in the folder. This way, users could just select the PDFs they scanned, drag and drop to the PS icon, and collect the prints. Another thought, if the customer needs to scan mixed batches, I am assuming letter and legal, then why recommend an MFP that will not automatically separate the image sizes? Doesn't this lead to more time wasted

The only "hot folder" outside of EFI controller software that I am aware of is the "hot folder Print Queue when you PDF direct print." I don't believe this leads to automation of the process. If you shared a PS printer icon as a folder, you maybe able to print the scanned images if they always PDFs. I have not tried this, but I can this afternoon and see if it works. Basically, your going to scan to 2 destinations - a shared folder and a shared PS printer "icon". It sounds like it would

The 240w is not meant to take the place of an OCE (8-10 E size ppm) or higher volume printer/copier. It is a lower volume machine and it's perfect for cranking out check sets and final sets for us (smaller firm). Its bigger brother the 470w doubles the output speed to 4ppm E size.

Warranty heads now on order. One of our salesreps is looking at our demo unit. He's a bit disappointed about the finisher not doing booklets. It also takes a long time to print ledger full color stuff. Lots of time around the drum drying off. We explained to the rep that the copy quality is better than a Riso but not as good as xerographic. The product does have a niche market.....especially with a limited finisher.

Also frustrated that the new print drivers are set to default to duplex printing so I have to go to each workstation and change it back to simplex. Just adds extra steps. When I get some time I will probably use the print driver editor to create drivers for all workstations with the rite settings.

Printing Excel Spreadsheet to a 240W

Also, according to the customer, if they specify 36x60 on the OCE, the spreadsheet will fill the entire page. On the 240W, I can get the

Re: SMB and Windows Vista

mikefio22 (Guest) · 4/2/072:44 PM

In case anyone ran into this, I have the answer. Savin tech help line had me install a firmware upgrade (for the NIB) on the C2525. Once I did that, SMB worked fine. There are some extra steps in setting up the folder due to the enhanced security settings of Vista. If anyone needs help, let me know, I made a cheat sheet for it that I can pass along.

To clarify.. The Scanning is not the regular Ricoh scanning set up.. you have to use the EFI Scanning. So set up and use are different then we are use to..

Savin C2525/C3030 and envelope printing

Bill Knight · 3/29/078:39 PM

Using #10 envelopes in portrait orientation. Feeds fine when copying but jams at the entrance to the bridge unit. This is when using the MS Word envelope wizard. If using MS Publisher set for this size as a template it works fine. Had the customer create a second print driver just for this size envelope from the bypass tray. Not sure if this will work since I have not had a chance to try it and they have not called me back about it. TIA

rotate print on clp240d or C811DN

Deanw · 3/26/0711:57 AM

On the Savin CLP240DN aka Ricoh Aficio SP C811DN has anyone been able to get it to rotate sort print? It seems that with 8.5x11 in both directions it should be able to do this with std hard drive but we haven't been able to make it rotate sort - any comments?

The C3530n MFP from OKI Printing Solutions

is one of the smallest and fastest MFPs in its class. It’s an ideal solution for individuals and small workgroups who require a fast, reliable and affordable MFP that delivers high-quality color, ease of use and full multifunctionality. Key features of the C3530n MFP include: print speeds of up to 16 ppm in color, 20 ppm in black & white;1 a convenient USB front port for scan-to-memory stick; 10/100 Base-TX network and USB 2.0 high-speed connectivity; analog fax—walk-up or via host PC

Re: rotate print on clp240d or C811DN

Deanw · 3/27/078:45 AM

Thanks. We found a lot of our prospects that want color - 95% of it is printed so we have been selling them color printers instead of color copiers. We have sold a lot of CLP27dn this way and saved customers a lot of money. The main thing I miss with the CLP27dn vs the C2525 is the rotate sort so we are hoping we can get that on the CLP240D but so far I haven't been able to get my CLP240D to do it.

Adding on some usability points: I absolutely hate Konica's itty-bitty touch screen for inputting addresses, file names, etc. The "keys" are tiny, and there is a limit to file name sizes. Another point I harp on again and again: the Ricoh RPCS driver. Can't be said enough how great that driver is. Makes doing booklets, "magazines," etc. a snap.

I'm not interested in becoming a Samsung dealer - nothing is worse than selling a product and then seeing it Sams Club the next weekend, except maybe your customer calling you and saying they saw the product you just sold them at Sam's club for several hundred dollars less.

Inclusive / free toner strategy?

Wieldo (Guest) · 3/27/075:29 PM

To stay competitive in the market we are forced to include toner and consumables into the continuous service contracts. We use the normal rate per click method on a standard SLA. Toner contribution would be calculated on +- 80 % yield etc. If you have a large customer base and have been selling inclusive deals for a few years , your monthly free toner bill could easily become a large and difficult to handle expense/burden . I would like to hear from Service Managers and Engineering GM’s out

Think of the possibilities and the page counts that can be captured where accounts are producing 10K per month. You can meet their needs with an 11x17 printer (if needed) and then have the MFP for the rest of the document volume! Heck, what does a C4500 sell for with finishing and paper trays? $21K

I ran into this yesterday. Currently, Ricoh does not support Windows Vista with its Plotbase software. I spoke with tech services and they said it is being worked on (a new version of Plotbase is being developed) but they were very careful to give me absolutely no time frame in which I could expect any solutions. This made me look like an idiot in front of my new client. I would have never thought that Ricoh couldn't have seen this coming and been a little more prepared. Live and learn. Good

Art It is now the end of March. You probably already have a solution. But. if not, ask your prospect if they can print the documents in "batch" rather than one at a time. If so, I can show you a simple, inexpensive solution that can do what they want and more. Randy Kochis 610 436 6002 www.captureplusdms.com
