Re: Samsung Copier Million Page Test "A Tree Massacre"
Art, I think Samsung needed to do this test to shut the mouths of the critics. Now anyone who wonders or asks if the Samsungs are reliable will get a link to this test. My Service guys tell me that the Samsungs have been working well! And the new MX series with the Android (OS) Tablet has been very cool. That wish list item that you asked Ricoh for has already been delivered by Samsung! I have just worked with a 3rd party tech company to get the first non-Samsung Android App ported to the...

Re: Samsung Copier Million Page Test "A Tree Massacre"
Seems my Blog about the million page test was not that well received with Samsung. They complained to ENX Magazine who then pulled the blog off their site. Whatever happened to FREE Press? They were not happy that I pointed out that they used "x" amount of tree's for a 1980's type test! Since Samsung spends money with ENX, ENX pulled the blogs and is not posting any of my latest stuff. You know what, as far as I'm concerned we here this finance stuff about Sharp, Toshiba and none of the...

Re: Ricoh Launches New Aficio MFPs With App2Me Solution
I've had customers say that it is "cool" and that they will install that on every PC instead of regular print drivers (what a nightmare that would be), but when it comes down to it, they just do what they are accustomed to. It would be much more useful if it would work w/ mobile Android/iPhone/Blackberry such as smartphones and tablets. Since it only works on Windows-based PC's, its usefulness is extremely limited.

Re: Cloud Poll
Evernote has a pitiful share of mind of business professionals, no pro IT manager is likely to advise transition of share of mind to this "upstart" provider. Microsoft and Google are forever the "big dog" players, so concentrate on them and their associate players like UDOCx. The big players are,however, weak in the mobile space, so place attention to Cortado and its partners.

Re: Cloud Poll
2011 is a transition year. It is no longer about Microsoft vs the World. It is about iPad and Android OS vs Microsoft. Remenber it was only two years ago that Laptops outsold desktops.

Re: Andriod OS for MFP's
Art this is something the independent dealers need to push for. not just Android but a common OS across all manufacturers. Running an Android OS on an MFP would lower manufacturing and development costs for all manufacturers. it would also fall in line to Konica Minolta is working on an Android OS for MFP's See the bottom of Page 11 on this InfoTrends report. http://www.konicaminolta.pt/fi...Future_Proof_vA4.pdf

Re: MP 301 Mobile Printing Solution
I've sold it with the updated firmware, where you can print from an apple device within the users network. We have not tried with Android yet. There may also be the email2print feature which allows the MFP to have it's own email address and thus you would forward an email with an attachment to the MP301. Anyone else have more on this?

Re: MP 301 Mobile Printing Solution
For either Android or iOS, you can also use the Smart Device Print App as long as they are on the same wireless network as the device they want to print to. What I like about the app is the ability to apply finishing, use Locked/Stored/Hold Print & allow the client to use User Codes. I don't know if you can do that with AirPrint on iOS devices.

Re: MP 301 Mobile Printing Solution
It's in both the Apple App Store Apple App Store & Google Play Google Play . For iOS, it will print all types of Office files as well as images. On Android, it only prints images, web pages opened in the application or text saved to the clipboard.

Re: Air Print for Metis
There is a Ricoh ap available for apple and android. with the ricoh ap you can use ID codes, select B&W or cololur. It is quite simple to use and my customers seem to really like it.

Re: Air Print for Metis
The Smart Device Print&Scan app works pretty well for both iOS & Android and does give you some advanced functionality in terms of finishing, Locked Print and more. Some formatting does get screwed up, but I'm not sure if that's the fault of the app or not. I do hope AirPrint is approved for this series by Apple soon. Some customers are used to using that at home on their $100 printer and are somewhat annoyed that it won't work on their expensive business-class system.
Reply
Re: Air Print for Metis
One cool thing you can do with the Smart Device Print app(Android) is share things to the printer. Basically you open a picture or PDF or whatever print ready item and click on the share button the 3 connected dots in the shape of a v and then scroll down past facebook, e-mail etc to Smart Device Print and it connects and prints. Good way to do a mobile print app is take a picture of the customer by the machine and print it out. With practice you can do this very fast and its a nice stunt.

Re: New Ricoh MP2553 3053 3553
We got ours for the demo room last week. It is MUCH more responsive than the standard display. If you know how to use Android displays, this is a piece of cake. The "Quick" functions add more key touches for basic jobs, but I can see how some users would prefer it. It definitely adds a WOW factor if you set it up right.

Re: How do you charge for scanning
Paying for scans is lame. Customers are stupid if they are paying it. The problem with the old copier (output only) price model with the MFPs. The razor thin margins for hardware and then making it up on aftermarket doesn't work with machine that have other functions, like scanning. Are you going to charge for outgoing faxes too? What about the newest machines with Android OSs? Charge for pulling up a web page? You charge for scanning by marking up the MFP with more margin. I can understand...

Re: Ricoh's Simplified Touch Screen @ Convergence
Agreed that this looks very much like an Android. I'm surprised how fast the panel swipe is. Ricoh has definitely improved the ease of use. Do you think MFP's will soon come installed with Windows or Mac operating systems to become another workgroup computer in the office with print/scan capabilities? Seeing this Ricoh makes me think that is coming in a few years.

there are three generations so to speak for the GUI Android OS. It seems this will be the platform of GUI OS for all manufacturers. Look for many apps to be developed that will drive a monthly fee for copiers.

Re: How do you print from your phone
It would be a lot easier if Ricoh would introduce a Print Enabler for Android. Pretty much every other manufacturer has a Print Enabler, & it makes printing basically the same as printing from PC minus finishing features. I really like the Smart Device Print App because of the ability to do Locked Print, Finishing, User Codes and the like.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I've been busy working on other things so I'm just now able to get back to this. I think I'm going to explore the Google Cloud Print option as txeagle mentioned (thanks). I have set up the app once before and like the way it works. My plan is to get it working in our office with the same model and print from my Android phone from their site (If they will give me login information) and if it works hopefully I can roll that out.
