Re: Ricoh & Epson = "perfect together" NOT!
The Epson argument has been going on for years. I brought one product in as a complement product and direct print production sales fought for Epson devices as part of the portfolio. I wouldn't allow it. However, with Vellek in charge of all product marketing, a lot changed. Overall profitability on Epson to Ricoh is about 7-9%. Plus there is no way to lock a customer into a toner inclusive deal when they could by it anywhere on the web. Losing proposition for Ricoh, winning for Epson. I ran...

Re: Ricoh Dealership in Minnesota will buy.......
Yes, but the auto dealers had great political clout in the 20's/30's when the industry was new. The manufacturers were distracted with growth and labor problems and failed to defend the consumers or themselves. The dealers were the "home team" in each market and were able to lock up the state legislatures, and (permanently?) keep the extra layer of markup in the business, preventing it from logically rationalizing to a direct model. MFP market is not even an rounding error by comparison, the...

Re: Erie businessman gets fed prison for copier fraud
There is a special place in hell for people who rip off churches. Have a church in my home town that was ripped off for about $20K by a copier company that had already gone out of business. The vendor wrote the church a 63 month lease with the service packed into the lease payment 3 months after the sherif had put a lock and chain on their doors. To make matters worse when the pastor of the church signed the lease he accidently signed in the wrong spot. When we got our hands on the actual...

Re: Ricoh CPC Methodology
We do this all the time. 3500 B/w @ .011= $38.50 and 1500 Color @ $.066=$99 w/a Total count of $137.50... By doing this you lock the customer in with you for a lease when the lease comes up for the next term the competitor has to buyout the maintenance portion as well. As you all know....

Re: Savin 4035 with fax option
Memory Lock is a feature that allows incoming faxes to be stored, and not printed until an ID Code is entered to retrieve the fzx. On page 38 of the Advanced Features Fax Reference Book explains how to activate this option. If you need the owners manual, we are a Savin dealer, and I can email the pdf file.

Garland: Try chosing a customer who is not in the market right now, and or create a need for your product or feature. There are many features that are different from manufacturer to manufacturer. Try to hone in on a "lock out" feature, a feature which Minolta does not offer and Ricoh does. Then hammer you position. Most of the time we can never win on price, but on sales skills, such as what the customer needs and what they do not think they need. Uncover through interviews the hidden pain...

Re: Fiery E-8000 Controller
Can you provide more detail on the scanning situation? Does the controller lock up once you select the Scan tab? Or is it when you go into scan to email/LDAP? As someone pointed out, there are about six patches for the E8000 that should be installed. As a separate note, there will be a new version of system software available that incorporates all of the patches and MS updates. Please contact your Ricoh ASM for a copy of it. It should help stabilize the E8000 operation.

Re: Can I Copy Mixed Sized Documents on a Copier?
I disagree. Most law firms and many insurance companies still have a commonly re-ocurring need for mixed size originals. I am currently working with one European shipping company based in NA that wants to do do mixed size originals with a mix of A3 and A4 documents. I say it cannot be done as the paper is all of different widths. I am hoping that my unscrupoulous competitive vendors will admit to the same..... not likely!!! They want the sale today! Please advise.

Re: Can I Copy Mixed Sized Documents on a Copier?
A3 (11 x 17) and A4 (8 1/2 x 11) can be run at the same time with auto paper select making what you put in what you get out using mixed-originals and the mixed originals setting. The sizes you mention are European, but I'm sure they will work. As long as it's a standard document size it should work.
Comment
Re: Can I Copy Mixed Sized Documents on a Copier?
Sorry, I meant to say a mix of A4 and Legal size documents. I agree most copiers should be able to do mixed size originals with a combo of A3/A4 and Letter-R/Legal. The problem I am having and I do not think it can be done is one of a mix of A4 and legal mixing North American and European sized paper in the same document. This is because the two paper sizes are of different widths.

Re: The Transition of the Copier Industry "Part III"
Great article as usual Art. I agree, technology like this is a great option for any industry. I think that the reason it has been so slow to take off is that people like the "hard copy". Whether it's because they feel it's more secure, or just out of habit, having the signed document in hand is a tough thing to let go of. I see the same with becoming a cashless society, people love paper!

Re: The Transition of the Copier Industry "Part III"
Hey Jeff No, we did not use the eQuill/eWriter. I thought we should have put this to good use for our sales team. The usage of the eQuill in the field would have enable many conversations about how we use it, how we set the system up, and what was our back end process. It was an opportunity to break out of that commodity role. Thanx for the reply and questions!
