Re: CBS NEWS REPORT ON COPIER SECURITY
On all current Toshiba copiers with HDD, 128 Bit AES Encryption is offered standard but it has to be turned on by a Service Code. The cost is that it somewhat slows down the copier's performance. In my experience, 128 Bit is rarely turned on when I inform the customer of the trade off. Maybe I should just turn it on in the future and not tell the customer. The optional DataOverwrite kit is very rarely purchased by small Commerical customers but often by Gov't & Schools.

Re: CBS NEWS REPORT ON COPIER SECURITY
Simply handing over a copier's HDD removes the OS within the copier making it unuseable. Plus there is some labour to remove the HDD and reload the firmware onto it. At least $200 - $300.00 total vs turning on 128 Bit AES Encryption at the start - Free. Going forward, we format the HDD on all of our own brand copiers we remove. For competitors brands, where we do not know the Service Codes, we can only inform the customer of the risks.

Re: Toner Save Software to Get MPS CPCs Down
heard of it...Xerox, partners...but I have not actually seen it... NewfieldIT out of London developed a software...I am still looking at it. But, why anyone wouldn't simply install it as part of their overall MpS is beyond me, if it works. Oh, and no need to inform the client - it should reduce the provider's cost...not the client's.

Re: HDD Wiping/Reformatting
Jason, You are absolutely right, it isn't the responsibility of the new dealer to wipe the Hard Drives of the old Dealers MFDs. And if it is a line that your dealership does not carry you couldn't restore it to working order after you did wipe the Hard Drives. Which would cause them more problems and cost if they return it ti their leasing company in non working order. But if you want to add value you do have the discussion with the new client and inform and advise them of their options. I...

Re: Over Holding On MFP Lease Costs Unnecessary Dollars
I think front line service techs would like nothing more than to get the "old junk" out of the field. It is probably the number crunchers that aren't willing to shut these people off because of the lost revenue. Last summer all the sales reps were given a list of old equipment still on contract and told to inform the customer that their agreements would soon be cancelled which we did. Then the company decided to look at the bottom line and recanted. Now us salereps all look like smucks just...

Re: Panasonic Dumps Dealers, Keeps all but a handful!!!!
What is the difference between Authorized Dealer and Authorized Reseller? Will you have to go through Nuworld for parts or will you still be able to get parts direct from Panasonic?

Re: Competitive Info needed Lexmark XM1145
The XM1145 is a shade over $0.02 per click in a m/a contract. If the customer is doing over 2,500 clicks per month the machine has no chance in a competitive deal unless the consumer buys non-OEM toner and just does a parts and labor only service contract w/out consumables for about $200/yr. Customer is rarely educated enough to know to do this and a salesperson moving such a small box rarely cares enough to inform the customer on how to make the XM1150 a cost-effective option.

Re: Network Charges?

This is in addition to our normal maintenance contract, which we make sure the customer knows is for the...

Re: Escalating Maintenance Agreements

This Week in the Copier Industry 15 Years Ago (Second Week of February 2005)
Just a little more on the show that I'd like to share from this week. While standing at the end of our booth I was watching the reps from other companies in our section. So many peeps passed their booth and they did not say a word! No greeting, no communication, they waited for someone to speak to them first.
