Re: Print Control/Mgmt
Hi Everyone, Thanks for your posts. Every year or two we see new, low cost competitors that come out of the woodwork for a little while. We are selling against these guys the same as you fight your low cost competitors. There are a few obvious detriments that seem to have stood the test of time. The revenue model can not possibly be profitable for 80% of your customers. Ridiculously low is exactly that, ridiculous and unsustainable. $500 worth of technical support will be used up mighty...

Guys, Just an FYI. I am a Ricoh only dealer. Been on the hotel for awhile. We have looked at the Hotspot printers but it doesn't solve the walkup and print from a USB issue. John

Re: Matt Espe named CEO of Ricoh Americas Corp
Not only that if you look back on posts from the P4P Hotel, Ikon was buying back stock 6-8 months prior to the sale, insider trading at it's best!

Re: Message Received: Special members update
Obviously, I am not in your office but I feel I can guess what the purpose of those signs are and I have a hard time believing that they are suggesting that open dialog with peers on subjects designed (for the most part) to improve our production and effectiveness is the type of dialog they seek to condemn. Nude photos or threats against the President maybe but P4P hotel? Surely they have bigger things to worry about.

Re: Need help with p4p forums
I agree. This seems to be the only source to find out the "real story" on machines, not just what our manufacturer reps and competitive brochures tell us. On P4P Hotel we can talk to people who actually have used/sold the products we're wondering about.

Re: Proximity Card Reader
There are several ways that you can do this. Are you planning to use the HOTEL door cards? You will have to verify what type of card they are using. These might not be prox cards. Please provide more info to better help you. The best way to know for sure is get a card and test it. Not all cards work. 1) Dept ID's, those will have to be set up on the fly for clients. 2) AAProx with Tracker. AAProx is the card reader and Tracker is the software that allows charge back. 3) You can use...

Re: Proximity Card Reader
Thanks for the update. Who said they were compatible with MIFARE cards? Magnetic strip cards is what I figured the hotel was using. Those work by a different mechanism. As Vince mentioned you can look at UniFlow but that might be a pricey option. You can also add a credit card/bill/coin-op solution for the business center. This is an easy way for walk up traffic. That way it keeps the front office people out of the equation to cash out guest. When you mention cloud printing what type are you...

Re: Ricoh Vision 2012

There is an amazing amount of knowledge and experience available on the P4P Hotel and you should never be afraid to ask a question.

Re: Punch Unit Question
The only information I have I got from P4P Hotel. Under the "Announcements" Topic, Ted has posted a Ricoh's Rollout Schedule for January-April 2003. In that it says the 1085 is being replaced with the 1090 and under "New Hardware Options" it says it will have GBC Online Punch, and choice of 6 replaceable customer diesets which I am guessing are the punch units.

Re: Toshiba Launches Social Business Network Designed to Connect Sales, Service and Corpo
I would not be surprised if your p4p hotel helped influence this new Toshiba EXCHANGE 'social' website. I believe that the p4p mission should be to provide the same platform within the Office Equipment Industry, yet be a forum for all people regardless of manufacturer (Toshiba, Ricoh, Canon, Konica Minolta, SHARP) affiliation.

Re: Toshiba Launches Social Business Network Designed to Connect Sales, Service and Corpo
Old Glory does indeed make a valid point, in that Ricoh Dealers will need the p4p hotel (RFG Message Board) to share ideas on how to survive as a Ricoh Dealer with their new focus on IKON and future support of IKON. It is going to be a battle out there during the next year and a forum to report on RFG / IKON practices, competitive situations, shake-ups, and new product offerings will be critical.
