Re: 2035e & Bates Stamping
I know I saw Bate Stamping in the specs of a scanning solution software but I've looked at so many, I can't remember which one. Try looking at Doculex and others unless you are looking for something alot cheaper. If you do an internet search you get some hits also. We did successfully (only one time) sell suedo Bate Stamping using a combination of user stamp and page numbering. You have to spend some time getting the location of the stamps so that they print next to each other but the...

This Week in the Copier Industry 15 Years Ago, The Second Week in September 2003
Haha! Something pretty funny in with one of the links below. "Moving closer to the paperless office". This was fifteen years ago. Do you remember the Ricoh C1224? Was a color MFP that had a speed of 12 pages per minute in color and 24 pages per minute in black. Needless to say that Ricoh never informed sales that the copier would go into auto calibrate during a print or copy run for up to minutes! Relive that experience with the threads below Enjoy the threads from 15 years ago this week.

Re: Bates Stamping
You need to go to the P4P sight and do a word search. There have been several discussions regarding Bate Stamping. In a nutshell, the 2090 and the 2105 are the only units with Bate Stamping from Ricoh or anyone else. However, we have successfully sold "Bate Stamping" on lessor units using a compination of User Stamp and Page Numbering. The best way to accomplish this is to get a sample from them and then replicate it it for them on the 2045. Don't try to do it for the first time in their...

Re: Bates Stamping
One of the potential "issues" with our solution is that the originals are not also stamped when the copies are. Some firms don't mind that, some do. The process is to have the User Stamp place the non-variable part of the Bate Stamp. That is why you need to get a sample of what they do and then replicate it. The non-variable may be "Jones vs the State of Virginia" or it may be "0000000" if they insist on having the "0's" preceed the page number the way they are used to seeing it. (There is...

Re: Bates Stamping
FYI on the 2090/2105 Bate Stamping Solution. You cannot currently have both the Bate Stamping and Scanning available at the same time. They end up being mutually exclusive. Ricoh is trying to create a workaround or resolution.

Re: Bates Stamping
The 2090 and 2105 now have "scan to file/scan to email" capability just like the 2035/2045 unless you install the Bate Stamping option in which case you lose the ability to scan.

Re: Urgent Reply Needed on Bates Stamping with 1075!
Talked to Jeff Weinstein and he said the Bates Stamping for the 2090/2105 was released last week. I haven't seen any release letter yet, but it should be coming. As far as Bate Stamping for the 1060/1075, he said don't hold your breath.

Re: Urgent Reply Needed on Bates Stamping with 1075!
Did he have any answer regarding the claim that Bate Stamping for the 1075 exists?
Reply
Re: Urgent Reply Needed on Bates Stamping with 1075!
He said it "ain't" Bate Stamping from Copier mode. Probably what the Seller is going to do is have them scan in the docs, and include a software program with the machine that will allow Bate Stamping when they print. Jeff said it took over 20 months of R&D to get the 2090 to Bate Stamp. For the 1060/1075 to do it, they would almost have to go back to the drawing board and write a program for those machines from scratch. So...don't hold your breath.
