Is Buzzword Bingo Exposing You As An Empty Suit?
Buzz-riddled descriptive words may sound impressive but despite sounding important, there's usually little meaning nor substance behind the words. Way too many in sales are using the same standard sets of sales jargon to describe situations as a replacement for just speaking plain old normal language. They rely on buzzwords to communicate concepts rather than explaining what they mean. Let's get real for a moment... do you think this makes you sound or look smart? I bet it only adds more...

Re: How Well Do You Know Your Print Drivers?
Here's another tidbit for you. Did you also know Ricoh has a driver editor for PCL drivers to set things like access via user codes. You can actually have a popup that asks the PC user for a user code before the print job is sent on to the printer. Sort of a poor man's Equitrac.
Comment
Re: How Well Do You Know Your Print Drivers?
Rick, have you had success with the PCL Editor? I have tried it in the past and it seeemed unstable. I wanted to customize a driver for the pop-up and default to black & white. It worked. However, when I tried to install on mutiple clients it didn't work and it seemed to be user profile specific so if someone else logged onto the computer with their AD credentials it wasn't customized for them.

Similar to when Minolta launched the Minolta 450Z copy machine back in 1984. Ricoh broke the bank with the MP 240W in 2004. There was no other digital wide format like it that could print/scan and copy for the price. Many Architects, Engineers and Construction companies were farming out prints and...

When Will Dion Write the Check to Carl?
It has been about 20 months since I told the crowd I was speaking to at the RemaxWorld Summit in Zhuhai China that HP would buy Xerox. Soon after, another speaker would educate the audience on how that was never going to happen. I believe anyone who says “that will never happen” is void of the ability to imagine. I also spoke of the bigger threat for the remanufacturers. I stated it would not be the non-patent infringing new builds. It will be the OEMs as they fight to capture the...

The Toner Wars
In a 2017 speech at the RT Media Summit in Zhuhai China, I warned the group of cartridge remanufacturers and those who manufacture non-infringing new compatibles. There is a more significant threat to both their business models than the threats from each other. That threat would be from the OEM’s as they would naturally attempt to get back their annuity business in a declining market. I suggested the OEM’s would compete like never before. The market is consolidating and most definitely there...
