Re: Canon and Konica Minolta Reps
Jason, Wow, that KM C6500 is ancient. It's all about the media. Does the customer run (or need to run) coated or heavier stocks? The C75XX series may suffice. However, it tops out at 256gsm and crawls when coated stocks are throughput. The C750 offers you superior quality, registration and efficiency (at a higher cost). Also, the C750 offers a more powerful front-end option, additional finishing options etc...

Re: Ricoh Copy Output Tray for MP 9002
Another route you can take with these discontinued options is to order the parts through service. For instance the product code for this one is B756 so if you were to go to rfg-esource and search for the product code there is a parts book for the copy tray option and you (service) can order the parts. I have needed to do this with things like fax options.

Re: Ricoh Copy Output Tray for MP 9002
When you say you tried to order it do you mean the edp code for the option or the part number? Like the part number for the tray is AF043112.

Re: Print Copy Tool versus Plotworks
John, The PrintCopy Tool compares pretty favorably to Plotworks. I attached two documents to this post. The Product Support Guide lists differences between the two products. The PowerPoint has screen shots of all the settings in PrintCopy Tool. I hope this helps.

Re: Charge for IT support
We had never charged for it after the sale until about 6 months ago due to people calling all the time for driver installs, scanning issues related to their internet etc. We used to offer an optional network/it yearly agreement and people would decline and then start calling for help. We decided to send out, initially an opt-out to ever customer who had current devices, and after every sale send one out. We did it as an opt out due to the fact that customers would decline the option and...

Re: Copier Parts & Accessories China Tariff Starts in 9 Working Days
"Whatever money the Trump Administration gave away to its citizens in its tax cuts of 2017 it is now going to claw back with higher taxes disguised as tariffs." Pretty much the only way to impact trade is to attack industries previously uneffected by imbalances. For instance, if the Canadians are charging a 270% tarrif on USA Dairy products, you can't resolve the problem using USA dairy. The only option is to offset using a previously non-effected industry, say Canadian Lumber. Obviously,...

Re: MPS and Linux HELP!
So some clarification first. PaperCut absolutely does support Mac. In fact, it is the only cost recovery/print control solution that I know of that actually installs in an all Mac environment. (Server and Client) It also is the only solution I know of that installs in a Linux environment. So both of your issues are solved with PaperCut. I included the install guides for Mac and Linux to get you started.

Re: Need help with Pay for Print Solution
Maybe I'm wrong about this but with the combined boards isn't there a chance John is a non-Ricoh-type person? I think Hotspot printers are a great option, other than the USB thing.

Re: RING BINDING
RING binding is not a coil but it is plastic binder. If you look at the GBC option with the different dies you may get some idea. Ricoh's ring punch is only one type and it's installs the rings at the same time. It suppose to not slow up the machine. The binders are proprietary to Ricoh.

Re: Ricoh Introduces the Aficio MP 2851 and MP 3351 Digital Imaging Systems

Yes, the same will hold true for the 40/50 series, not sure how soon to launch though. Attached is the SIG that details all 4 units.

Re: The Next One
Considering Samsung's penchant for allowing other manufacturer's to relabel there product (Xerox & Muratec already relabel their A4) I'm curious as to whether Ricoh's A4 will be made by Samsung or Ricoh, particularly since Ricoh already relabels some Samsung printers. The other relabel option could be Lexmark because of the relationship they have w/ the Ricoh InfoPrint division. I love the new Lexmark A4 products offered to their BSD partners, by the way.

Re: HDD Wiping/Reformatting
But if you can't restore the OS on that hard drive, you would be returning an inoperable machine to the leasing company. I agree, finding/replacing the HD isn't the issue, it's the proprietary software reload that is. Anyway, the conversation should go like this: "Your old vendor didn't include that?

Re: Unfair practice of providing startup supplies on state and federal contracts
Good point. But I do not think that Ricoh or any manufacturer wants to lose out up front. They want that money just like anyone else.

Re: Why is single clicking an 11×17 on a “copier” legal?
The new machine from any of several competitors will be in place by the time you get back with that permission. Words mean things. Don't attempt to call something "deceit" when it is simply setting a manufacturer provided configuration option. It's a market situation, if the prevailing market (local market or vertical market) dictates single click 11x17, you participate or exit that market.
