Ricoh 1022 Faxing - Memory issue

·
I have a customer who has a Ricoh 1022 with Fax Option and when they fax 10-15 pages, the memory gets close to 0%. I have added a HDD and additional memory and nothing helps. Does anyone know if this is normal for faxing on this machine. I tried a much older Mita standalone fax that has far less memory and it had no problem faxing a 50 page document with high page coverage %.

I see where you said you installed a HDD and extra memory.I assume that was for the printer/scanner side. But, the AF1022 has an option for fax memory upgrade. Did you install the 400dpi/Page Memory Ricoh Order# 000826MIU. This will give you the ability to store more pages for a fax transmission. slim463

A client sent an image to Plotbase from AutoCad via the HDI Driver and via WinPrint. It would print correctly on an HP Printer. We could view the entire image "correctly and completely" in the Plotbase viewer. However, regardless of where we printed the image on a sheet OR how large the image was on the sheet OR where the image was placed on the sheet OR whether the margin sizes were changed in AutoCad OR whether we rotate the image, the tail edge of the image was being cut off.

The number of pages in SAF memory is really a "your mileage may vary" 2 meg (standard) should be about 120 pages of 8 1/2 x 11" 5% fill documents. If the pages are legal size or if they have alot of print or especially is they have pictures, then the memory can be used up alot faster.

Re: CPC file extention

That's a good point, and makes me realize I misread the question. I read "is the .CPC extension supported" but you asked "can these files be printed". The answer will be, of course they can be printed... As long as your customer has a Windows-Based program that can open the file. You can then just use the windows print driver to sent the print. You will not be able to submit them with Plotclient, or have Plotbase understand them natively, but once they pass thru the driver, it should work fine

Thanks, gentlemen, for the fast replies. I've heard of MicroPress, but I'm sure this client would resist anything that involves a server or a lot of expense. This is a problem we inherited as the installing dealer for a ship-in. The parent company (in another state) chose the Ricohs for the local division (our new client) over the local division's objections to taking away their Xeroxs.

Awesome color, handles high volume. Not very user friendly IMO. These are going to be the replacement for the 3100c or Aficio 3131. Modular componets. PM can be done in under 40mins if tech rebuilds in shop. Ricoh has very low target volumes for the 2500/3000. Toshiba says their's will go into much higher volume location. Lets hope the new 35/45 color will handle higher volumes. JG

I saw a couple on line for the printers and they said generally that the blacks were gray and the colors light. Further that Ricoh planned it that way becasue of the duplexing capability. However, the technology is characterized as "fast drying" to eliminated smears. I have an HP Deskjet that duplexes, the colors are bold and deep, It doesn smear when duplexing

We did get the deal. Merlin, you are right. It goes back to this just being a tactic used to lock out the competition. When we asked questions about how often they do this, etc... it wasn't really an issue at all. We just minimized it. I understand that our machines are capable of clicking once for 11 x 17, but that's not really what we want. Also, we can point out that in order for you to receive the proper preventative maintenance we need to know exactly what the quantity of prints are

I deal with QuarkXpress every week, there's nothing inherent to the program that would make it print slowly. Generally QuarkXpress is used with complex graphics, do you know the size of the file you are sending? It could just be that the file is very large with complex graphics. If it isn't large, have you tried sending normal files to the printer from the same workstations? are they faster?

Some more thought. If you are in a print for pay you will have a tough sell. But if you in others accounts, there is not many I go into that will use 11x17 in color, let alone be able to do 2-up and CUT. This is just a way to confused the customer.

We don't sell those particular two models, but we use Memory Experts for almost all our memory. We've had excellent results with Memory Experts' product and service, and I recommend them.

We had some customers try these units out and had primarily favorable responses. It’s going to be a real niche product so you will have to be careful where you place them. I think small accounts and small work groups that currently have inkjet printers would be a good prospect. Also segment 1 b/w systems where there is a limited need for color would be good. The speed and quality of these systems are going to be the limiting factor. It’s reasonably good quality but not near a laser. They do run

This is interesting but from the Gestetner Sales Information Guide, page 21 "When printing mixed documents, only the black toner/PCU are used unitl a color page is encountered; then all four toners and developers are used for the remainder of the document, irrespective of whether they are in color or black & white". This would imply that all copies are "clicked" four times but the remainder of the paragraph says "However, subsequent black & white pages will be counted only as monochrome (1

Re: Color Cost Per Copy

Big Dog (Guest) ·
Yes, it does. How does the printer know when to count four clicks as one. It has no way of knowing what the page looks like???? Is this somehow referring to the differences on page clicks verses development clecks. THIS REALLY PUTS INTO QUESTION HOW AFFORDABLE THE UNITS ARE TO OPERATE AND SEEMS TO GO AGAINST RICOH'S MATRA OF LOWER TCO.

Re: Color Cost Per Copy

Big Dog (Guest) ·
I'd like to get this question answered both for print and copy. When talking about printing, you refer to meta data. Please explain meta data. I assume this is information sent with the print job to the printer. So if I send a BW or color page to the printer and have color selected in the driver, meta data is sent to the printer and all prints whether BW or color are printed as color. Therfore BW pages are printed using "proceesed black". If BW is selected in the driver.all pages print as BW

Very interesting opportunity you have. Please keep us posted. I'm sure DOT can do the job, but unless they are needing it for variable data or a forms solution it may be overkill. If R&R is running an AS400 platform Ricoh has other less costly and some free solutions for printing other than DOT. Good Luck and again please keep us posted.

Scanning Problem

Has anyone seen this before? I have a 240 located in an account which is currently involved in a scanning project to archive legacy documents. The volume for this project on a daily basis is very high and they run the scantools (scan to multipage file) 5-6 hours per day. Now, the problem is that they began to see blank streaks on the center left of the scanned pages which became worse and pretty much bewildered my guys until we had Ricoh come in and it was determined that the surface of the

Re: Color Cost Per Copy

The color clicks are click based on the meta data of the file not whether or not the page has color on it. You can have pages with no color printing and clicking as color if the job was sent as color and the document has the color meta data in it. At least this is how I understand it to be. Maybe JasonR has some input. He is very knowlegable on this stuff.

We’ve used FM Audit at several locations to capture monthly print volume. I used it under ITs’ supervision of course. It’s a very useful tool. It won’t capture printers connected directly to PCs but, most of them are very low volume anyway. As for cost analysis, you can export to excel and plug in the cost per page for each model printer. Giving you the monthly or yearly cost. A very good tool for sales and cost justification.

Go back to main copy screen request the number of sets, turn off shift sort, request separation sheet per set. Place orginal in doc feeder and select start.

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"

Local number might be a nice perk, but sounds like this customer is sending more than receiving. I'm glad we're able to provide a solution but wow, what kind of person calls their copier rep and says: "Ok, I wanna send a fax over a phoneline but don't have a phoneline, do you have a machine that'll do that?"

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.

I lost a deal to the 250 because of the paper weight and t-shirt transfer claim. they told the client that the 250 would run 140lb....bad thing for customer is he purchased not leased and now he is stuck with the machine...and guess what the rep no longer works for Konica Minolta!

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.

Ricoh has new engines coming to replace the 32 series that will solve that issue. According to Ricoh you can run thick stock out of the drawers with no issues.

I'm new to this device, so this device will only work if the MFP is connected to the network. Right now we have about 20% of our equipment that is connected to a network. It's the other 80% that we have to call or have faxed in.

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. The really strange thing here is that the @remote device captures the data (including customer name, Model of machine, Serial Number and all useage data), sends it to Ricoh Japan, and then allows the dealer to access it.

Thanks for the replies. It has been interesting. I have a friend who is attending a 3day school this week and he wasnt too impressed. Like me he has a technical job and technical certs (A+, N+) . He is attending becasue Ricoh requires it. He said that while he is learning a lot of new terms and information he isnt sure he will ever use it.

Re: @ Remote is Here!!

Not sure what you mean. Each device is setup seperately. The data is sent to Ricoh, then forward to the dealer (you). The customer doesn't see this data, it would contain details for every customer. Dealers can run reports and export data to provide to the customer.

Re: @ Remote is Here!!

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. But they want to be able to get the info themselves and I would like to at least have the option of considering that possibility. The benefit to us would be huge. Obviously I can't give them direct access if it gives them access to all of our other accounts as well.

You can set a Key Operator s Email address and then set User Parameter 20, bit 7 to 1. That would send an email if there was an error. Maybe the easiest way is to set up SNM and the sender can view the status of their fax that way.

What system do you guys use to obtain meter readings for your service contracts? We are still using the phone method, and some customers fax them in each month.

I don't think I was as clear as I should have been in my previous post. They would transport the mfp with them and use it for printing locally. The main problem comes when they want to send a fax. I'm thinking of selling them an AC205 and showing them that they can scan via usb or Scan to PC software and then sending the fax via a third party solution like smart fax. The AC205 would be ideal because it is lightweight, inexpensive and has the scan to usb capability. The main hurdle is the third

I think if you map the port of the MFP through the firewall. The end-user (on their laptop in the field) Could print via IPP. (Internet Printing Protocol) I know the Ricoh MFP's have this capability. To be honest I never have done this. But, in theory it can be done. That is where I would look. -slim463

He states he wants to give to me since I am the most knowledgable in our office about duplicators. It is a church account and there is competition, I get the deal and make $300 in commissions, plus the $200 spiff from Ricoh. Not bad....I was happy with the outcome.

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.
