Re: Is selling at cost the future for print hardware?
Without a value statement that goes beyond copiers and even mps at this point --- people will be selling at cost, because they are transient, non-professional, and either don't have or have confidence in their skill set. The Trick is to work with companies that aren't in the market to buy copiers---I guarantee that their are other challenges that they are facing and trying to overcome...When you do this you can sell at retail, because there is no competition and you earned that commission.

Re: OKI Data and Toshiba Tec Agree to Joint Development of Multifunction Printers
Rumors have swirled for years on Toshiba's exit of the MFP industry. Inspite..... of their recent and aggressive dealer acquisitions. Neither entity is strong enough to stand on its on. Especially due to the consolidation the industry has already seen. Ricoh/Ikon, Canon/OCE, Konica/Minolta, etc. I agree that both have been low price leaders in the US market as well, and the marriage is a good one. This is the start of Toshiba's exit, and eventual sale to Oki Data. Oki Data just didnt have...

Re: Scan to email using LDAP

Re: Sales Software
We use Telemagic in our office and it seems to do the trick..They have developed a module specificly for our industry and there are a number of management tools that allow you to set up letters, custom letters, email etc that is automated for customer and lead follow up. You can also share a calendar with the rest of your office. My only beef with this is that there is no way to import / export your calendar into or out of outlook with Telemagic. Graham

Re: Gas Price Check
The Theory in general is that the large U.S. Companies sacrifice their profits (which can be determined by looking at the price of a barrel of crude vs. the price of a gallon of gas) around elections when they are wanting the existing party to stay in power. The price of crude may also fall some, but the amount that the price of gas at the pump drops is significantly higher than can be attributed to the slight decline in crude. As far as it being "near the election" I'd say it is very near...

Re: Email from Canon P4P'er "Ricoh Direct Pricing"
It is sad that Ricoh has laid open the market and is allowing the direct reps to compete in current RFG business. The direct operation for Konica Minolta has been put on notice that if they walk into a current KM customer, then they are to turn around and walk out the door. That's from tRick Taylor himself. That doesn't mean if you're a duel line dealer and have non Konica Minolta equipment in there, then it's fair game, but KM is trying to protect its dealer side.

Re: Customers Recapturing costs
Equitrac is good, I have a customer using a few of them with a DSc338. Recently had to find something for a 445 and I think the built in codes (500) will do the trick, printing, faxing and copying.

Re: Banner Printing on Muratec Color MFP - MFX C2590
The trick with banner printing is to create your document in Word, Publisher, Illustrator or whatever software you use with the document format set to the size you would like to print the finished banner and then save your file as a PDF. You then print the PDF file NOT the native format file. Make sure the bypass tray on your machine is set to Driver Command or whatever Muratec calls it. In the print driver just select your bypass tray and odds are it will just work with no further...

Re: Processor Cores
You are correct that 4 cores aren't 2x as fast as two cores. As Art said, "Faster is better" and 4 cores are definitely faster. One trick here is that the cores process different threads at the same time, but don't think about it as scanning and printing and faxing. Each separate function probably has a dozen tasks associated with it and those can now be processed faster with multiple cores. Is it faster? Yes. Is this a huge deal? No. Would the customer notice any difference in the end?

Re: Printing on Vellum 4550ci
PJS Maybe try to just sell them a color laser printer? I know that ink based systems will do the trick, but not sure if Kyo has any of those. I recently sold a Ricoh 11x17 laser printer to an account for the same process. However, I had to make sure the printer I sold them printed at 1200 dpi. You may also want to change the vellum. Make sure you are using vellum for a laser printer and not ink based. I would check with Azon and tell em the P4P Hotel sent you.

when you look at it, there are so many various ways of getting the job done. the trick is to use the appropriate one when needed. there is nothing like experience; it alone allows you the luxury of digging into your "bag of ideas" and use the one for the situation. when a rep first starts out he or she needs to make up for his or her inexperience than activity. sooner or later you begin to replace quantity with quality. managing activity alone will drive people out of this business. a rep...

Re: When is the release date for HP Edgeline
We clocked the 11x17 color at ~5 PPM. A neat trick to do with the machine is to print out a document and then use a highlighter to mark an area. If you rub the highlighter back and forth (don't have to press hard) the area you highlight will smear. Then leave it on your desk for 24 hours and try it again, it still smears (bad enough that text becomes a black unreadable blob).

Re: Printing from bypass tray on Ricoh MPC4500
Ah, I believe it can, you've just got to have the right media selected. Once thick stocks have been selected the system will not allow you to duplex from the by-pass tray, they key os top trick the machine and tell the by-pss it is feeding regular or somewhat regular stock and then cross your fingers and hope all goes well with print reproduction and no jammin.

Re: Printing from bypass tray on Ricoh MPC4500

I think the Ball Park/Game was the trick, the customers who attended felt obligated to "go through the motions'. Which I knew some where and there were a few who were really into the demo.

Re: SUB CODING
If the sub code is a for example the 4 digit number that you have to input when you get a 2nd dialtone, then this will do the trick: dial the faxnumber and then press the pause key twice (maybe even more) and then input the subcode. This will create a pause between the faxnumber and the subcode. This works with almost all brands.

Re: Canon C250/350if not copying yellow highlighter
I've seen this also with some Ricoh devices, had a customer that wanted to scan highlighted wide format specs. Before I presented the system, I bought three different sets of highlighters to see what worked best. I would have them change that highlighted to a different brand or a different color and see if that does the trick
