The Week in Copiers Fifteen Years Ago

Third Week of May 2006

Usually I'll start off the weekend with "The Week in Copiers 5 Years Ago" , Saturday is reserved for Ten Years ago and Sunday for 5 years ago. I'm starting with 15 years ago because I heard that Jack Carroll passed away today and back in 2006 I worked for Jack with Century.  Jack was one of the former owners of Century Office Products in New Jersey.  Jack started in the industry back in 1971 with SCM Corp and in the early eighties or late seventies partnered with Ray Betterbid and opened Century Office Products.

I posted this on Linkedin today

"It is a sad day today because I learned that my former dealer principal and mentor passed today. I will always remember Jack Carroll’s amazing laugh, his friendship and his leadership from the time I worked with him at Century Office Products. He gave me my shot after I sold my dealership in 1998. Jack was amazing that he was always more than willing to share his stories of success which helped me to get where I am today. Rest In Peace Jack @jack carroll"

Yes, the Xerox 240/250

Art Post (Guest) ·
Yes, the Xerox 240/250 can print up to a true 2400 dpi, but that is at 1-bit, where as the 3260/5560 print at 600 dpi, but up to 4-bit. What's all of this mean? To me, it is two ways of getting good output results. I would get the customer to focus on printed output samples rather than cloud the issue with a bunch of numbers and technical jargon that only a few can explain. Enclosed are the Xerox Customer Expectation document for the 240/250. A couple of things to consider. It can do up to 13

On the other hand if you do that, your nefarious plan to get all their print devices is ruined since they can tell what you're looking at. One interesting thing... When you set up @Remote, the first thing it does is find every connected device, then you pick what you want to monitor and not. There's nothing to say that information isn't being relayed to Ricoh Japan though.....

I wish Ricoh would not rest on thier "laurels" with the 240W, they need to make a major MSRP move and also need to introduce a printer only product and or an upgrade within the next six months. Soon we will have technology that is 18 months old. It's all about the toner, well Ricoh had better make a move to stay ahead of the competition and keep caturing those pages. Art Post

The color theory behind this is fairly intense. I have attached a document that hopefully will help explain DPI, bit depth and pixels. In a nut shell, the number of dots needed to make up one pixel is determined by the bit depth. Remember that a one bit engine can "create" colors using individual dots of cmyk. 4 bit can create 16 shades of color. I know, confusing. I would show the customer samples. Basically, Ricoh and Xerox are using two different ways to put the color on the page. I hope

I have a customer who just purchased a 240W and they are pretty unhappy with the CQ and have resorted to using our equipment only for check prints and their HP plotter for all final sets.

CL3000 Output Capacity

Here's the scenario....Customer has a CL3000. The specs say the output capacity is 250 sheets, or 500 duplexed sheets. The customer needs 700-1000 capacity. Their monthly volume is 8000 or about 350 per day, and one day per month is where the 700-1000 comes in. They will set the printer up to print at 12:05am, and by the time this guy gets into his office at 7:00am, the 1000 print job has stopped because of the output tray being full, so they lose about 4 hours of print time because of the low

The bizhubs are rumoured to do 140lb index...through the drawer...duplex!!! The Savin color machines only do a maximum paper weight of 90lb...through the bypass...simplex only.

I got the weight information that I quoted above straight out of their spec sheet and Product and Sales Guide; it also was discussed during our sales team's launch training. It bears out with what our service team is seeing. I do not see anything in Konica's materials for this model series about t-shirts. Must say it surprises me that anyone tries to put t-shirt transfer materials through a laser printer or copier anyway, since the transfer material is fused to the t-shirt fabric with an iron

Re: Konica Minolta and 140lb index

We're dual line Konica and Ricoh. That info is accurate for some of the bizhub line, but not every model. The 350-250-200 monochrome engine, for example, does not do that. But, the C351 and C450 color engines do. No repercussions if engine is rated for the weight and paper meets spec. Otherwise, we'd handle it like any other service issue where the problem is caused by client's actions.

Shaja: So you're saying that the color machines run this weight without problems? How/Why is it capable of so much more than the Ricoh machines? If you ran this weight on a Ricoh (and it didn't jam which would be highly unlikely) you'd be replacing rollers and fusing sections like they were going out of style. This isn't the case on the Konicas? Sorry if this is a little redundant, but I have to find some kind of a defense to this objection that is bound to arise.

It's Oh, I see. @remote isn't for everyone. Ricoh reccomends it being placed in accounts with 10 or more machines. While it primarily tracks network copiers, it can actually track up to 5 devices that are not connected to the network, but it connects to them through serial cables, so not great if the customer has long distances between machine. And while it does usually send in this information over the internet, it can use a phone line to "call in" the information as well.

Why is this topic in the AS/400 forum? Now that I'm certified on @remote I can answer more questions. Ricoh reccomends it be placed in accounts with 10 or more machines.

I understand that the "program" works that way. However, I have a fortune 500 that orders a quarter million a year that really wants @Remote and I really want a list of every print device they own.

That was just wrong. But who is to say the next guy wouldnt do the same thing. I have heard similar things from our salesmen about our boss. And from other techs in other companys. Like changing the commission after the sale, or changing the compensation after the deal. I am sure not everyone is like that but with about 5-6 employers under my belt, I can safely say it is not uncommon.

Re: Gas Price Check

A thought hit me while looking over the articles here. Since the major gas companies are making billions in quarterly profits, any chance the copier companies servicing their copiers could base their CPC's on what their local gas charges are? How would they react to paying $2.75 per copy, excluding toner? Just a wishful thought!

I totally agree, making changes after-the-fact is just WRONG!!! I guess every salesperson struggles with situations like this with at least one of their employers. All we can do is voice our opinion and try to change the situation. If we can't, like you said, we have two choices -- put up with it or go somewhere else. Either way, if we let it affect our attitude, it can dull our edge, and we can miss a sale -- losing even more money due to the same situation.

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.

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.

But I do have one question for you, when you said, "I prefer using the Ricohs for their ease of use when color is not critical." Just out of curiosity, why did you word it that way? Why did you say you prefer the Ricoh only when color is not critical?

I think we need it to compete in that arena with Canon. I recently upgraded a customer from a 2045 to a 2060 and what I did was included a 1515F in the deal. The price point was still close to the Canon, I created enough added value to justify the cost. In this case there was space available where in some cases space is an issue.

I'm getting more and more requests for faxing in this series. In fact, we are placing a bid Monday where the customer specifically requested 50 CPM or higher with fax option. I know that we are the ONLY one bidding that does not offer this option. Due to office space confinements, this customer will not consider other options.

That's all I really know about it -- except that his Toshiba won't print the barcodes -- they can't even get it to stay on the network.

Unrelated to this sort of..... If your customer sends a print job and asks for multiple sets, but only gets one. Happens because auto continue is set to Immediate and the paper size is incorrect. 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

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

Seeking color scanner that also has user and account code capability.

Steven Breault (Guest) ·
One of our resellers does not sell scanners and has a customer for our vFILER Indexing System. The customer currently has a Savin that doesn’t provide color scanning, but does have user and account code capability. This is important for them. They have asked for a quote on an additional scanner that will also print in color, but it will need the account codes too. Does anyone have a recommendation? Thank you.

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)

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.

The Week in Copiers Fifteen Years Ago

The Second Week of February 2006

I had a little time after work today to review a Minnella's Pocket Guide to Copiers (low and middle volume) from 1990. I wanted to see how many companies were in the business that offered dealerships. Notice I did call them manufacturers and the reason for that is many of these companies bought the copiers from the manufacturer but then re-labeled them as a different brand.

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.

From the industry side it is well known the margins are going down, not only on machines but I am noticing a decline in margins on the service side as well. With the industry move towards more color and capturing printer fleet output of an office... money has to be made elsewhere and more value added services provided by a dealership and even their leasing partner. Leasing companies do the same thing.. walmarting rates.. the lowest rate, but all the other hidden charges and fees and high

In the past, I had heard that sometimes we have trouble printing PDF's that were created by Autocad. Not sure why. I have never encountered the situation but perhaps printing with Plotclient WIN would change the outcome? If there's a chance the files are corrupt, perhaps the person who created them could do it again and see if the results are different.

The Week in Copiers Fifteen Years Ago

First Week of February 2006

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.

Enjoy These Awesome Threads from 15 Years Ago This Week!

Here is the response from my tech: The copier interactivity with Novell will be only in a printing environment if you want Novell to act as the print server for the copier. There is a NDPS gateway (a Novell print server software) for Ricoh devices that can be downloaded from Ricoh’s web-site. Other that that, it only will act as a file storage medium.

I haven't used demo originals in years.

That did it for me. It also freed up space in the briefcase for other essential forms, like sales orders.

Neither a card reader or Equitrac is the right answer. Equitrac is a print accounting software.

Just FYI, without SNMP, you can still install the driver, it will just give you annoying error messages saying it can't detect the printer state (because it uses SNMP to communicate that info). 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.

Re: Power Outages

Same here and I'd say our population of Ricoh wide format is in the 40s. How I would handle it: We have a "leave-in-place" electrical monitor. We would attach this device to the power outlet and let it take continuous reading for 2-3 days. If electrical anomolies are detected, that is the customer's problem not ours. 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.

Re: Oracle references?

that is kind of the problem. A non-me-customer, but Ikon Ricoh customer that I sold in a previous life switched to Oracle recently and have had nothing but problems trying to print from Oracle to the Ricohs (two 1045's) to the point that they have decided that Oracle can't print easily to a Ricoh. Because local IKON is not a strong Ricoh (Canon for 25 years, Ricoh for 2) and the customer is not being supported well, I need somebody that can speak from experience that it's not the Ricohs.

DWF & DXF Printing

Kip marketing info says that DWF printing is standard these are Autocad type files but cannot be opened in Autocad?). Is this true and can they do batch DWF printing? I copied both a DWF & DXF file into the CFG folder of the 240W and neither one would print. My assumption is that we cannot print these files unless the DXF is opened and printed through Autocad and that the DWF files need to be opened in some sort of viewer and then printed using our windows driver?

Admittedly, I have only tried this at one customer's site, and they have some... issues (like not really understanding AutoCAD), but at that site, simply downloading the DWGs without previewing them results in unusable prints. If I open the same document in AutoCAD and simply hit "print" without setting the papersize/scale/pen settings/etc. then I get the same results as the file I downloaded.

The comparison would be using our HDI driver to create sets and sending to Plotbase versus letting Autocad do it right from the program (not using a viewer but actually batch printing right out of Autocad). Previous versions of Autocad would allow batch printing but not multiple sets of the batch - not so anymore.

You're right, XP should recognize the USB device without a problem. Does the computer have a 2.0 port? Even tho the printer is a 2.0 I would go into SP5844 and change the rate to full speed (12 Mbps). High speed (480 Mbps) can sometimes cause this. And the autochange will always go to 480 when available. As long as its just printing, you'll not notice the difference.Except it will work!

Jason...it is like playing Russian Roulette. I think it's one of those dirty little secrets all mfgs won't really admit, because in the end, you can print directly dwgs from AutoCAD. But in the real world, settings will get lost,changed, or mis-interpreted,especially on a complex dwg file with lots of stuff imbedded in it. Having an AutoCAD license on the server will fix thi$$$$, but I find that converting (plot to file) a dwg in AutoCAD to a plt is the way to go without added expense.

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.
