DMR15S/18S/18D Product Information Guide
Executive Summary
Segment One (1-20cpm) is a key market commanding over 50% of total units sold in Western
Europe. Yet it has some of the lowest levels of digitalisation (35% in 2000). Our task in this market
is to encourage the migration to digital (thus increasing print volume), but without jeopardising our
market share of the segment one analogue market.
The DMR15S/18S/18D is our second generation of digital machines in this market. Like the first
generation Stinger series, these are A3 15cpm and 18cpm models, and are due to be with the
subsidiaries in May 2001. There is also an 18cpm duplex version which will be available in
December 2001.
These models should not just be seen as simply a replacement to the Stinger series but rather as key
strategic products that will make serious inroads turning our analogue segment one sales into digital
sales as well. Also as a digital connected product, the DMR15S/18S/18D has the potential to take
some ground from the printer market.
The Stinger and Stinger-C1 Lite series had limited successes at bringing about a digital conversion,
largely due to an uncompetitive cost-per-copy price. Our new DMR15S/18S/18D, which has a more
competitive cost-per-copy and mainframe price, will have far greater success.

Product Sales
Current trends in the Group show that over 90% of our 15cpm sales are analogue which is far
higher than market rates, the reasons for this are listed below:-
High mainframe cost both in comparison to the 18cpm digital and existing analogue machines.
Absence of fax capability. By not having this function the customer is denied one of the key
advantages of having a digital machine.
High cost per copy.
For the 18cpm, the mainframe price is more attractive and the machine has greater expandability
but the markets for 15cpm and 18cpm users are also rather different. The 15cpm user wants the
cheapest machine; by choosing the 18cpm over the 15cpm the 18cpm user shows that he is
concerned at more issues than just price alone.

Conclusion
Segment One is a key strategic area for NRG and it is critical that we have well-positioned
machines which will strengthen and grow our market share. The DMR15S/18S/18D is part of the
next generation of digital machines which later in the year will include our first 13cpm digital
products. These should be seen not only as replacements to the Stinger range, but also as products
which will be attractive to existing analogue users.

DMR15S/18S/18D Product Information Guide
Product Overview
Product Concept
The DMR15S/18S/18D range consists of three new digital machines:- a 15cpm, an 18cpm and an
18cpm duplex machine. These machines will replace production of the Stinger models.
That said, these machines should not just be seen as Stinger replacements; they are positioned as
products which will be attractive to current analogue users. The production of analogue machines
(Kingfisher II and Grand Kingfisher II) will continue after the launch of the DMR15S/18S/18D;
Ricoh have no intention of discontinuing the analogue 15 and 18cpm at this stage. Therefore
full discontinuation of the analogue products is not likely until the next generation of digital copiers
in which the connected copier is priced at a competitive level to the analogue products.
Like most other first generation low volume digital machines, the previous Stinger series had an all-
in-one cartridge which made its cost-per-copy uncompetitive compared to analogue machines. The
new DMR15S/18S/18D has separate toner, developer and drum which at present estimates makes it
a third of the CPC of the Stinger and almost level with the Kingfisher series. At present the only
other known segment one digital machine with this is the Minolta Di181.
The warm- up time for the DMR15S/18S/18D is 25 seconds compared to 40 seconds for the Stinger
series.

model
The machine is based around the concept of easy-to-sell and easy-to-install. The fax and printer
options take 5 minutes each to install.
Size
The DMR15S/18S/18D is the smallest copier Ricoh have launched, making it suitable to be placed
on the desktop.
When the side door is opened, the gears at the fusing roller get released allowing for the paper to be
easily removed.

High Productivity
Fax Functionality
The DMR15S/18S/18D has a superior fax capability which will allow it to be positioned as a central
machine for mid-to-large size workgroups. It has a modem speed of 33.6Kbp and a transmission
speed of 3 seconds
Printer Functionality
Collation
Collation feature is available with both the PCL and PS drivers. Please note that Rotate Collate will
not be supported for printing with the original printer controller, but will be compatible with the
new duplex compatible printer controller. Additional memory of 32MB has to be added to the
printer controller to enable this functionality.
Slip Sheet
Feature allows slip sheet to be inserted after every page
Auto Continue
With this feature printing continues automatically after 10 seconds even if the following errors
occur
print overrun
memory overflow
memory full errors occur
Please note that, on the page where the error has occurred, the page may not be printed out
correctly.
If Auto Continue is not on, when these above errors occur, the controller will stop printing and
displays an error message on the operation panel.
Page Protect
This can be used to avoid errors caused by print overrun.
Tray Lock
Can be used to lock any tray including the Bypass tray. Only one tray can be locked at one time.
Font Storage
Font storage is available in RAM memory. Because these are only stored in RAM, they are stored
temporarily so once the power is turned off the stored font will disappear.

The new DMR15S/18S/18D fits into the Infosource segment one which covers copiers from speeds
of 1 to 20cpm. This segment represents over 50% of the total units sold so is of key importance.
The overall market is predicted to shrink by 3% this year (fig. 1-3, p.13) and remain flat over the
next few years (fig 4), this largely due to the massive growth in the printer market.
At 35% digitalisation in 2000 (fig 1-3, p.13 show 29%), the take-up of digitalisation is small but it
should be noted that this represents a 30% increase on 1999 figures. In 2001, the proportion of
digital machines shipped is expected to reach 60%

Major Competitors
The main machines which the DMR15S/18S/18D is targeted against are as follows:
Figs 1-3 (p.13) show some interesting trends. Sharp and Xerox have strong shares in digital but
have very minor shares in the analogue products. Canon and Toshiba have big analogue strengths
but have failed to match this with similar shares in the digital market. NRGs share of the digital
market is a healthy 13% but this is likely to come under attack from Canon and Minolta as they
have greater success with their ImageClass and Di151/181 products respectively.
Minolta present considerable threat with the well received Minolta Di151 and Di181 machines. The
12
DMR15S/18S/18D Product Information Guide
Di181 is a particularly attractive machine as it is the only digital segment one copier on the market
currently with separate supplies. While NRG have grown 0.5% in 2000 in segment one, Minolta
have increased their share by 0.6% to a position where they are threatening to overtake NRG.
According to Better Buys for Business, Minolta have Some of the most aggressively priced
machines in the channel.
Sharps AR series of digital machines provides a considerable threat to our position. Better Buys for
Business describe Sharp as One of the most active vendors in making transition from analogue to
digital. In fact, because of this activity, Sharp has actually lost share in the analogue market.
Canons first generation of digital machine, the ImageClass, are also highly regarded, but by not
having a parallel interface either as an option or as standard, they provide good ground for us to sell
our machines.
Xeroxs new digital machines, the 212 and 214, although well priced, do not have scan-once-print-
many (note neither does the 15cpm the DMR15S/18S/18D until memory is added). The lack of this
feature has little effect on the success of the product which has helped Xerox obtain a 22% digital
market share. Indeed the feedback from the segment one forum meeting was that Scan-Once-Print-
Many was not a key feature which was going to swing analogue users to digital. It was thought that
connectivity would be a far stronger argument for an analogue user to switch to digital.
In terms of analogue discontinuation policy of our competitors, the main information which we
have is that their strategy is the same as ours, ie that discontinuation will be dependent purely on
demand.
13
DMR15S/18S/18D Product Information Guide
Duplex Functionality
Duplex functionality is comparatively rare in this segment but is growing. By offering a duplex
option in this segment we can offer considerable competitive advantages over our competition.
Where duplex is offered it tends to be at the 20cpm level where machines are really competing for
segment two share so are a lot more expensive. It should be remembered that the current fit-rate for
duplex on the DMR22/27 is almost 80% showing that there is considerable demand for this
function.

Although the DMR15S/18S/18D does feature improvements on the Stinger series, its crucial

The 15cpm is 20% below the old DMR15/18 price and 20% higher than analogue. The 18cpm is
only 17% below the old DMR15/18 and 20% above analogue. The reason for the 15cpm being
more competitive against present models is because the standard 16MB memory is omitted to help
bring down the cost. Without the memory, the 15cpm does not have scan-once-print- many.
The duplex machine is positioned at slightly less than the old DMR15/18 and considerably less than
the DMR22A/27A.
Toner
Developer
Drum
One of the main problems with the old DMR15/18 was the high cost per copy due to the fact that it
was used an all- in-one cartridge.
The new DMR15S/18S/18D comes with separate toner and drum which puts the CPC almost level
with the CMR151. At the time of launch, the DMR15S/18S/18D will be one of few Segment One
machines with separate consumables; at present only the Minolta Di181 has this. Even with the
addition of labour, CPC for the DMR15S/18S/18D will be almost identical to the current
CMR151 CPC.

Target Markets
Targeted Prospects
The different people (all with their own specific role and decision criteria) involved in the decision
making process are:
Buyer: low operating costs, in line with current contractual arrangements and 'best value for
money';
IT manager: connectivity issues, like manageability, upgradeability, reliability and Total Cost of
Ownership;
Operator/User : ease of use, productivity, finishing and quality and
Financial manager: total cost of ownership and future-proof investment
Channels
The chart below shows the NRG channel split year-to-date for Europe. It shows that we are heavily
dependent on the direct channel for our Segment One sales particularly with the digital products.
According to Infosource, the indirect channel in Europe in H1 2000 represents 61% of sales for the
whole copier market. This indicates tha t NRG are behind market trends for segment one for the
indirect channel, not only for digital products but also for the Grand Kingfisher II too. Although this
is partly due to the sales structure of NRG, it does indicate that there should a major focus on the
indirect channel in order to grow the segment one business.

DMR35A/45A Product Information Guide
Executive Summary
When originally launched in 1998, the DMR35/S/45 series was a well-positioned product, but since then a
number of competitor products have been introduced which have created a very competitive market in this
segment.
The new DMR35A/45A (35 and 45cpm) contain many newly upgraded features such as a large touch-
screen LCD, 600 DPI printing, document server and network scanner. However the machine afe not
simply upgrades of the DMR35/S/45, but wholly new machines incorporating a completely new
architecture. This architecture (GW Architecture) will bring the cost of a fully configured MFP down, thus
increasing our connectivity rates. This will allow us to gain a considerable competitive advantage over our
competition.
Marketing Objectives
Re-establish our position in this segment by offering a machine which contains many of the features
which have become the standard since the original launch of the DMR35/S/45 series.
Increase the strength of our mono-MFP range with all copiers now printing at 600dpi
To increase unit placements and market share.
To encourage greater connectivity and digitalisation.
Target Markets
The DMR35A is targeted at the walk-up environment in the small to middle office, where the machine will
be shared with between 3 to 10 users
The DMR45A is targeted at a workgroup in the small to middle office, where the machine will be shared
between 20 and 30 users
As a fully configured machine, both machines can also be targeted as a core document solution MFP in the
large office.

DMR35A/45A Product Information Guide
Product Overview
Product Concept
The DMR35A/45A are two new machines with copy/print speeds of 35 and 45 pages per minute. They
have been designed to replace the DMR35/S/45 series, and include a number of new features which the
DMR35/S/45 series did not have and which have become standards for machines in this sector since the
launch of the DMR35/S/45 series.
The DMR35A/45A have a large touch screen LCD which is the same size as the Mojito. Since the
introduction of the DMR35/S/45 series, a touch screen LCD has become a standard for copiers in this
segment. The fact that our replacement machine has this puts us on a level with our competition.

DMR35A/45A Product Information Guide
Image Quality
Whereas the DMR35/S/45 series had a copy quality of 400dpi, the new DMR35A/45A copy at 600dpi.
The addition of the new DMR35A/45A means that all our mono MFPs from 15 to 105cpm offer 600 dpi
image quality.
Network Scanning
With network scanning, the DMR35A/45A become highly productive black and white scanners with
superior image quality of 600dpi with 256 greyscales. The main benefit of this compared to the previous
SCSI scanners is that there is no longer the need for a PC to be located close by. Users can also scan and
send the image to any user on the network, without first having to retrieve the scanned document from a
PC. Please note that the scanner comes as part of a printer/scanner kit and cannot be purchased
separately. Like the printer option, the printer/scanner kit has Desktop Binder, SmartNet Monitor and PC-
Fax, but it also has ScanRouter so that users can effortlessly scan and distribute documents to any other
user on the network.
The scanner option has a limit of 100 users - this can be expanded to 500 users with the addition of the
User Enhance Kit (or NV RAM) option.
The fax option on the DMR35A/45A has such a powerful specification that it can effectively be positioned
as a central fax of a division or workgroup in middle to large office. It has 3 key features.
High Speed
1) Modem speed 33.6Kbps
2) Transmission speed: 3 secs. (2 seconds with JBIG)
3) Scanning speed of 43 secs., compared to 99 secs. for the DMR35 and 75 secs. for the DMR45
Multi-Port
With the DMR35A/45A fax option one can have up to 3 lines available simultaneously, once additional G3

PC-Fax Software
Unlike the conventional PC-Fax option (TR-29), DMR35A/45A PC-Fax (Software) will be provided as a
software bundle with Printer Kit or Printer / Scanner Kit. This is to prevent the user using the PC-Fax as a
printer without purchasing the Printer or Printer / Scanner Kit.
This PC-Fax allows you to transmit fax messages from your PC, which will reduce the number of steps you
take when you send your fax. It will not receive the fax data as electronic data into your PC. For this
function, you will need to purchase a full version of ScanRouter software.
Document Server
The previous DMR35/S/45 series did not possess a document server feature. The document server on the
new DMR35A/45A is now more advanced than even the Mojito series. The document server on the
DMR55A/70A could only store copy and printer data, with printing as the only way of output.
The new document server for the DMR35A/45A can now store not only copy and printer data, but PC-
fax and scanner data as well. This data can then be stored on a hard disk twice the size of the Mojito For
output, one can still print the data but one can also re-fax and re-distribute. The principals advantage of the
document server is that you can merge print and copy jobs to be finished as one document.

Document Explorer - Desktop Binder
Desktop Binder software allows one to use the Document Server function from a networked PC.
With this it is now possible to view, search, print, re-fax and delete the document stored on the Document
Server function direct from the PC.
The combination of a heat roller with ultra thin shell, two internal heaters and a low temperature fusing
toner, give the new DMR35A/45A models a fast warm-up speed. This is much quicker not only than our
own DMR35/S/45 series but much of our competition.
There is considerable evidence to suggest that many customers do not use this feature due to the long
warm-up times on the market at the moment. With the new DMR35A/45A, we expect to see customers
making far greater use of this feature and with more and more environmental standards being introduced
such as ISO 14001 this will be seen as a key selling point of our machine. In recognition of these shorter
warm-up times, the DMR35A/45A, has received the first Copier of the Future award from the Internal
Energy Agency (IEA) for a mid-range network capable digital copier.

Stamp Functions
1. Page Numbering
Absent from the previous DMR35/S/45 series, and present on most of our competitors machines. This
function prints page numbers onto copies.
2. Date Stamp
Again this feature was absent from previous DMR35/S/45 series and can be found on most of our
competitors machines in this sector. This function prints the date on copies
3. Preset Stamp
This function prints preset messages on copies. The messages for preset stamp are available in English,
German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Finish, Portuguese, Czech,
Hungarian, Polish and Japanese, and are all pre-installed on the hard drive.
4. Background Numbering
Function prints numbers on the background of copies.
5. User Stamp
Prints custom messages on copies.
Please note stamp functions 3-5 are only available if either the standard memory is expanded by 32MB, or
if a printer or printer/scanner options are added.
Please note that the 32MB should be offered for copier and copier/fax users who need these functions. If
printer or printer scanner option are added, then 64MB should be offered. The reason for this is that there
is only one Dimm slot, so the 32MB Dimm has to be discarded and replaced by the 64MB.
GW Architecture
The DMR35A/45A is our first GW architecture machine. GW architecture means that you no longer need
separate controller boards for each function; instead all the controller boards are combined in the main
copier controller. To add the printer and fax functionality all is needed is a kit rather than a controller.

1) The kit is a lot cheaper than a controller which means that the configured price for a copier with
printer option is much reduced.
2) Installation is a lot easier and quicker. This should help break down customer preconceptions that
installing printers, faxes etc is a complicated and expensive process. Instead we are offering them a
quick and cost effective upgrade.
3) Faster R&D. With previous MFPs, the printer controller was launched a few months after the
mainframe. This is because the copier engine had to be finalised, before a third party began to work on
the printer controller. With GW architecture, they are now developed in conjunction and for the first
time, we will launching the printer option at the same time as the mainframe.

The DMR35/S/45 series was our second generation of digital MFPs in the 31-44cpm category, and since
its introduction, the market has undergone a lot of changes. Many new machines have been introduced
since 1998, which deliver far better performance, functionality and price performance than the
DMR35/S/45 series. This can always be expected during the lifecycle of a product, but this particularly
affected the DMR35/S/45 because it had a longer lifecycle than originally expected.
The DMR35/S/45 series weak position is reflected in our 5% share of the 31-44cpm market, against a
6% share in 1999. Our position in the 45-69cpm market place is far stronger because we are now on our
second generation of 55-70cpm machines, and indeed we are expected to sell 10% more units than in
1999. In terms of overall market growth the 31-44cpm segment is expected to grow by 2% and the 45-69
segment is expected to decrease by 11%; over 75% of machines are expected to be digital.
Digital machines are expected to account for around 70% of units sold in 2001.

DMR35A/45A Product Information Guide
Price comparison mainframes
At the time of writing, both the DMR35A/45A machines are expected to be approximately 5% higher in
price than their DMR35/S/45 counterparts. For that extra price, the customer will be getting a machine
with a far greater functionality, with better print quality, network scanning and a document server.
That is only the copier version of the DMR35A/45A however, as the printer version will be lower than the
DMR35/S/45 with printer controller (3% has been assumed). With the market for 31-69 copiers predicted
to have attachment rates of around 70%, this is going to be extremely attractive and any negative effect
from having a higher copier only price is likely to be limited.
The diagram below shows how this would affect the DMR35A; the DMR45A will have a similar pricing
structure.
No definite figures are available but these assumed to be the same as for the DMR35/S/45 series.

Major technical enhancements
Using GW Architecture
Large touch screen LCD
High image quality, 600dpi
Large capacity HDD (standard)
Extremely short warm-up time
Expandability with Fax, Printer, and Network Scanner
Installation
With the utilization of GW Architecture, it is relatively easy to add on multi-functional options
such as the Printer and Scanner.
It is now possible to upgrade the software for the controller, engine, NIB, printer and scanner
from one NIC card interface.
Note: This does not include the FCU software.
Maintenance visits
The touch-panel LCD with enlarged display is easier to read and provides for much greater
usability in both Service and User Modes.
With the use of a newly developed technology, the warm-up and recovery times have been
reduced as follows:
Easier removal of mechanical units (e.g. transfer unit, fusing unit, development unit) and
replacement of PM parts will result in shorter maintenance time.
A longer mainframe PM interval (150K copies) will result in less service visits.
The latest firmware will be available through an internet web server.
Counter check and fax parameter adjustments are possible using the remote diagnostics
system (RDS), when the fax option is installed.

other driver screens.
Note the manual configuration is always allowed, regardless of the communication channel. This is because
bi-directional communication may fail at any time. After the driver disables the manual configuration, the
printer may be turned off or the communication channel changed, making inquiry impossible. The driver
can not detect communication failure until the user presses Update Now button again.

IEEE Interface
IEEE1394 is the New Standard Serial interface for Multimedia products and PC peripherals including
printing devices. Major features of IEEE1394 are as follows:
Outline
IEEE1394 is one of the industry standards, which was authorized as IEEE1394-1995 by IEEE (Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers) in 1995. This interface is expected to be used for sending large-
capacity data such as multimedia data at high speed. Digital Video Camera is one of the popular products
having this interface. Recently, the interface is equipped with many PCs as standard, and also many
IEEE1394 expansion cards for PCs are available in the market.
Features of IEEE1394
IEEE1394 provides High Speed data transmission at 100Mbps, 200Mbps and 400Mbps. It offers much
faster speed than USB, Universal Serial Bus, which has 1.5Mbps and 12Mbps mode.

Executive Summary
NRG have experienced strong growth within the Analogue Wide Format product range and
operations have been demanding a digital product. The opportunity now exists to launch a
new Digital Wide Format Copier which will enable us to target increased page volume in
Wide Format Markets, as well as introducing the benefits of Digital technology to our Wide
Format offering.
Group Marketing recommends the launch of this product to those Operations already selling
Wide Format, in addition certain digitally oriented operations are considering launch. This
document presents the case for the A070
Background
Analogue Wide Format Copiers are currently sold by the Group in most markets. Germany,
Benelux, Spain, Italy, Ireland and Austria treat it as a low-priority product range, selling the
machine directly or through dealers (50:50). UK and Rex France sell units when demanded
by their clients. For NRG-I, Wide Format is a strategically important product, especially in
Russia and the Middle East.
Analogue sales have risen over 3 years to reach 589 units in 2000 (actual). This is about 40
% of Ricohs European business. Together, Ricoh & NRG have a 20% Market Share in
Europe, although this share varies widely from the mean in countries such as Spain
(MS=50%) and Austria (MS=4%).
The current models have proven to be cheap and reliable machines and are positioned at the
bottom end of the market. They are particularly popular for their Price, Image Quality and
Office- and User-friendliness. This is more and more important as inexperienced, non-
specialists become the typical user.
Competition in the digital market will come from Oc (64%), Xerox Engineering Systems
(16%), Mita (12%) and KIP (8%). Both Xerox and Mita provide an opportunity due to their
current financial weakness. Most units are sold by specialist engineering sales people and not
by general office salesmen.
It is now intended to improve the NRG product offering with a move into the mid section of
the digital market. This will provide us with a competitive product in a market where the
higher page volumes offer the opportunity to generate good supplies revenue.
Offer existing customers a total solution to include their engineering copying needs
To extend a strong revenue stream of supplies in a market where pirates are absent and
margins remain high.(RUK have experienced GP of 49.2%)
To obtain the same market share position in digital as has already been achieved in
Analogue, becoming a strong no.2 in the market behind Oc

Market Situation
General Background
1. A decline in the effectiveness of the specialist sales fo rces of Xerox and Mita due to their
respective financial difficulties.
2. A move from analogue to digital technology
As we launch this new model into this market we have to position NRG strongly as a digital
solutions provider for Wide Format. Our current channel has been demanding a digital
product, and as such we expect to have a ready market for this product from launch. NRG-Is
main markets have also expressed interest in the product and initial growth prospects are
strong.
The European market shows a different trend from that of the US market. The Infosource
1999 Spring edition says that the total demand of the WF copier is going down in 1999. This
trend was seen in 1998 (from 1997),too, so this is the continuous trend in the last 3 years.

(Data source: Inforsource)
From 1998 to 1999, the total WF market is decreasing by 4%. (In the last 3 years, from 1997
to 1999, the total market decreased by 14.2%.) The decrease mainly comes from the analogue
segment.
5
DMRA07 Product Information Guide
The analogue market went down by 14.7% from 1997 to 1999. Many players did not launch
new analogue models during these years. Therefore, the market is not stimulated, and the
customers would not be interested to replace their models. However, it would be a good
chance to relaese new models into the analogue market. .
During the same period, the digital segment increased drastically by 13%. We expect steady
growth in the digital segment. Thats why we need new and powerful digital models.

copiers because of the environmental requirement, clear image, ease of paper handling and
so on. At the same time, some customers are moving to the digital technology directly.
II ) Analogue technology wide format copiers (PPC/Stand alone)
The installation of analogue copiers would be around 14,000 unit a year worldwide. Many
users are expected to move to the digital wide format copiers because of CAD popularity
(PC connection).
III) Plotters (Other/connectivity)
The inkjet plotters dominate the main part of the plotter market. Some users need to
duplicate the originals and use the wide format copiers.
There may be old electrostatic plotters in the market. These can be replaced by the digital
wide format because they are very old fashined and expensive to run.
IV) Digital wide format copiers
Because of growth in the use of CAD/CAE, the importatance of connectivity has increased
in the wide format market. The market is moving towards digital, and digital has already
exceeded analogue demand as the statistics show.

Kip Ricoh Xerox Oce Mita
As one of only 5 ma jor manufacturers, Ricoh intends to continue to increase market share at
the expense of the major MIF holder Oc and weaker companies such as XES and Mita.
Ricohs strong analogue range partly explains its market share in this area; its absence in the
digital market provides an opportunity to attack this area and attain a strong number 2
position. Ricohs only branded digital wide format machine in Europe is manufactured by
Mita. (Both Xerox and Mita market shares are suspect, but the indication from Infosource is
that they are in the right area)
Suppliers
Oc
Oc, with its European manufacturing base, and the largest MIF of Diazo machines, is the
key player in the European digital wide format market. Oc has a market share of about 64 %
in the digital market, partly as a result of having the largest MIF. Oc is in the process of
updating their product range to include extensive connectivity options with drivers for most
commonly used CAD/CAM packages. Oc offer a wide range of optional accessories such as
8
DMRA07 Product Information Guide
additional roll feeders (up to six). Their systems are modular with separate scanner and
printer, apart from this one weakness, their (arrogant) dominance of the market leads many
customers to consider an alternative supplier. NRG should not attack Oc directly.
Xerox (XES)
XES has a range of older digital models spanning 4 digital machines. Xerox systems are also
modular featuring a separate scanner and printer unit. Although it has the oldest product
range, they also have the widest product range of any of the 4 major manufacturers.
However, their high end machine is OEMd from KIP, giving us the opportunity to up sell
their customers to our machine.. XES sales are in decline and have dropped to 15 %. As a
non core activity Xerox Engineering Systems is up for sale. XES employees are active in the
employment market, seeking job security. Customers are becoming increasingly concerned
about service issues as Xeroxs financial problems deepen.
Ricoh
Ricoh, although a leader in the Japanese market, has only a limited range in the European
market, and NRG currently takes the full Ricoh range of analogue products. Currently it
takes about 20 % of the European market. In terms of digital product Ricoh has been selling
the Cetus (OEMd from Mita) without great success due in part to territory limitations from
Mita, and also because of the un-competitive price and low duty cycle.
Kip
Kip is the fourth manufacturer, with an 8 % digital market share. Kip is the European brand
for Katsuragawa Electric Co Ltd. In the US they have been sold as Shacoh, although this
company and its brand have been bought out by Kip. Shacoh also distributed Kip in Europe,
but they have been bought out by management and now call themselves Europoint. With a
strong focus on the solution, and a very wide range of product from many manufacturers, the
Kip channel has grown over the past few years, at the expense of the box- moving badges like
Regma, Ozalid and Neolt.
Mita
Mita sells mainly in Germany under its own brand and that of Utax, as well as other
Germany-only distributors like Sihl. In the rest of Europe it does not have a strong channel to
distribute product. As Germany is the largest market in Europe, this gives Mita a
disproportionately large market share. However the weakness of their Xi8020, especially its
low duty cycle provides NRG with an opportunity, particularly in Germany and Austria.

Channels
Both Oc and Xerox employ a large direct specialist sales force, these sales forces
concentrate on selling high end Digital solutions and only selected dealers are offered the
opportunity to take these products adding local or applications support. A good example of
how manufacturer support is provided is from the following recruitment advertisement from
Oc UK.
This role is required within the Wide Format Printing Systems (WFPS)
Division of Oc (UK) Limited, to build strategic partnerships within a complex
market that has complex selling cycles. This position will introduce "added
value" to the sales process by facilitating a consultancy service, which will
enable a solution sell. The key focus will be to provide high level support to
the Account Managers and Regional Managers within Oc WFPS and to
utilise new technology to exploit information management.
Areas of expertise will include:
Document Flow Analysis
Network Needs Analysis
Document Conversion Analysis
Solution Design incorporating third party products
Ideally you will have a complete understanding of the WFPS market, also you
will need to have a good understanding of business and information
distribution processes, full IT literacy is a pre-requisite for this position.
Your personal qualities will include: high communication skills at all levels,
good co-ordination / organisational skills and the ability to work under
pressure to tight deadlines whilst balancing the needs of several stakeholders.
The advertisement stresses the added value of a consultancy approach needed to succeed in
this business, as well as the business knowledge to understand both the customers document
flow and the technological process of document conversion.
The opportunity for NRG exists in the fact that we can provide, through our dealers and
direct sales forces, a total document solution that expands far beyond that which can be
offered by Oc, Xerox or KIP.
We already have customers in Government and Engineering, for example, who will be using
Wide Format Machines and we can offer these customers the opportunity to centralize their
purchasing of office solutions completely. None of the competitors in this channel can offer
that facility, since both Oc and Xerox have separate divisions for Wide Format and KIP is a
specialist.

NRG Sales History
The Opportunity
While most Operations take wide format business as a gift horse, some have been lucky to
find suitable channels to push large numbers of units. Spain and Ireland, with a limited
effort, have achieved considerable market presence. In Spain, NRG & Ricoh now have a
market share of over 50 %.
Other Operations should take these targets as achievable, given the weakness of Xerox and
Kip distribution channels.

Special Cases
There may be special cases where a company specialising in document archiving or scanning
wishes to scan a large library of documents to create an electronic archive.. A070 would be
ideal for this type of project. Also, the A070 would be ideal for making multiple copies of
maps, utility services, construction drawings etc., in a war/disaster zone.

Product Sales Points
Copy Quality
The A070 provides the first product in the digital wide format market with genuine 600dpi
scanning, giving excellent quality copies and the markets best quality scan. Copy Quality is
a major concern in the engineering market, where engineering drawings are often drawn to
scale. The major issue for all toner or ink based copiers is the fact that Diazo, for all its
faults, produces the best quality copy of any copying technology.
Shrinking of paper over time (many drawings are kept for 100 years or more)
Shrinking of copy paper especially when being fused
Changes in copies over a long run, caused by changes to the original, toner run out
Fading of ink drawings over time
Fading of diazo copies over time
Reproduction of diazo greyscales
Smudging of ink-based drawings when handled or used in the rain/damp
The need to copy with an increased margin on the leading and/or trailing edge to allow
for binding, folding, labeling etc
A070 achieves consistent, high copy quality on a wide range of copy media, by a combination
of engine design items, which cannot be easily copied by our competitors:
Unique 600dpi scanning resolution (can be digitally enhanced to 1200dpi)
A0 Wide Toner Cartridge distribution system
Mid-temperature with Pressure Fusing
Black Toner
Glass Contact Sensor
256 Gray scale scanning, 4 gray scale printing
Toner
Oc has developed a rapid fusing system, which is also used in other Oc machines, and
similar technology is used by Canon in office copiers. One characteristic of these systems is
the grey quality of the toner once deposited. This has the effect of making further copies
even greyer, with a consequent reduction in accuracy. The Ricoh toner is black, avoiding this
problem.
14
DMRA07 Product Information Guide
Toner Cartridge
Oc supply the toner in a bottle, which is placed at one end of the machine. The toner then
runs along the entire length of the drum. On long copy runs, the toner may struggle to reach
the far end of an A0 copy and so later copies may have less toner on one side than the early
copies.
A070 has an A0 long toner cartridge, which is not only cleaner to use toner always remains
sealed but also ensures that toner is always available across the length of the copy.
Fusing
The ideal fusing should combine low heat with low pressure to ensure that the copy paper
does not stretch nor shrink, together with high temperature and high pressure to make sure
that the toner is firmly welded to the paper.
Oc tries to compromise with a very hot fuser system (the Toast Rack), and no pressure at all.
The result is that any paper jams in the fuser section lead to a small fire (the fragility of the
Ocs insides makes this much more likely than with a roller type fuser in the NRG model).
All Oc digital copiers (which copy more than twice as fast) come with a fire extinguisher for
these emergencies. Even with this system, the grey toner does not bond with the paper and is
easily scratched off.
A070 has a heat and pressure system which is a better compromise than the Oc system, and
is supported by much better optics, than Oc or Xerox provide. The fusing can also be
controlled by the user, allowing selection to be made depending on the copy paper type. This
means that NRG copiers can also handle much wider paper weight and film thickness ranges
than other machines.
Contact Sensor
The contact sensor (scanner) of the Oc models is made of plastic, and as originals are
frequently pasted up, or dusty, this can be easily scratched. Once scratched, this will affect
copy quality. NRG copiers have contact sensors made of glass which will withstand much
rougher treatment than plastic.
Ease of Use
Again, this term is much used, and again in the case of A070 this is absolutely true. If the
problems with Diazo are that an experienced hand is required to get the best quality, digital
toner copiers provide a suitable alternative for normal, office staff.

DMRA07 Product Information Guide
Side Guides
The side guides help users to align the original in the centre of the copy roll. Amazingly,
this feature is not available on other manufacturers copiers making it very difficult to feed
large pieces of paper centrally. Expert users often find them a distraction. A070 has original
feeder guides as standard.
Current wide format feeders require that the paper roll is threaded onto a metal pole, and
centered by eye. This can result in mis-registration. The A070 has a revolutionary flange-
type mechanism that simplifies the changing of rolls, and allows inexperienced users to
change rolls easily and to have multiple rolls, beyond the capacity of the feeder trays.
First-time users will take more time than experienced ones to align a large original before
starting to copy. Automatic original feeding is necessary, especially for those making many
copies. However, Oc models only have a manual feed button and take the original as soon
as this button is pressed, while the user has only one hand on the original skews are the
natural result with large originals.
Previous NRG wide format models had a variable delay after setting the original, but
obviously if there were many users this would only be optimised to one user. Now, the
automatic feeding on the A070 can be changed to manual feeding, so that any user can be
confident that the original can be placed in their own time.
Productivity
Although Xerox, Oc and Kip all sell copiers in the mid range with engine speeds around 4-5
m/min, the A070 is the fastest in its class at 5.4m/min. Also tests have shown that the
technology in NRGs copiers will outperform similar engine speed machines. This is partly
due to the ease of setting the originals, partly due to the faster return of the machine to ready
after a copy and partly due to the much faster first copy time.
Office Friendliness
More and more wide format machines are installed in normal office environments, close to
staff users, customers and buyers. Copyshops are typical office working environments and
do not want the environmental hazards of diazo machines near workers for a full working
day.
A070 combines the most office and user environment-friendliness of any digital wide format
device.
Office Friendly
Unlike some competitors machines, the A070 comes with wheels, and as it consists of only
one unit for both scanning and printing, is easier to locate in the office. For cleaning,
recabling, or any other move, the A070 does not require special equipment or labourers.
The machine can be installed against a wall, as the A070 can be used purely as front
operational. The Oc needs space at the side for toner replenishment.

DMRA07 Product Information Guide
User Friendly
A070 is the simplest, easiest to use digital wide format copier. However, it is also friendly to
users in other ways.
The A070 has a simple touch screen LCD control panel, which makes it as easy to use
as a normal office copier.
When it is time to change toner, the cartridge system ensures that users never come
into contact with the toner.
In an emergency (for example, a mis- feed) the Emergency Stop button is easily found
on the Operation Panel, stopping the feeds immediately.
Any mis-feeds are easily cleared from the clamshell and rotating drum system, unlike
the Oc models, which also require clearing of the dangerously hot toast rack fuser
system or the Xerox.
Inexperienced hands can also be reluctant to open up the fragile Oc models, but A070
is simple and robust.
Setting new paper rolls is also made easier with the new flange type system. And the
paper roll used is automatic.
A roll can weigh anything up to 26 lb/12 kg; with an A070, the user simply lifts out
and drops in the new roll - with competitive models the user has to crouch down and
place the roll with outstretched arms, again requiring confidence and experience.
Environment Friendly
The drum is of the environmentally- friendly organic type; The toner comes in a cartridge,
making it much easier to dispose of cleanly than the bottle type Oc. Both models are Energy
Star rated and have a selectable Energy Saver mode. All plastic parts are marked for
recycling.

Paper Handling
Paper Capacity
The C7005p comes standard with a 250 sheets paper feed unit which will handle media from
A5 to A3 oversize (13 x 18) and from 60-105 g/m2. A standard Bypass tray will also take
50 sheets (80 g/m2) and will handle A6 to A3 oversize (13 x 18) and heavier media (60-163
g/m2) such as OHPs and card stock.
Up to two optional 500 sheets paper feed units can be added to the C7005p enabling a
maximum of 1,300 sheets input capacity and a variety of up to four types of media to be
installed in the paper trays for total flexibility. For example, A3 oversize paper, headed note
paper, white A4 copy paper and OHPs can all be stored in the C7005p printer enabling a
workgroup to print on a variety of media over the network without having to change paper
within the trays.
When the user selects OHP Mode or Thick Paper Mode in the printer driver, the fusing speed
decreases to ensure high image quality on OHPs or thicker paper. This results in a slower
print speed as shown below:

When the OHP transparency mode is selected, paper is automatically inserted between each
OHP transparency to prevent them from being stuck together.

PCR5P Product Information Guide
Calibration
Calibration by the user is required when selling to professional colour users who need to
ensure colour consistency across different print jobs.
The Visual Colour Calibration feature allows experienced users to calibrate the engine
themselves (or service personnel). This kind of calibration will allow users to overcome the
colour drift in printers that is typically due to ageing or adverse environmental conditions.
The person doing the calibration is asked to enter certain values into the front panel, after
which the calibration is completed. The process for calibrating the engine involves the
printing of two pages from the front panel.
The first page is used to determine the Min. and Max. densities the engine is printing.
This page has 9 colour strips printed with ten toner densities.
1. There are two strips for each CMYK colour and one for a grey balance at 30% density.
2. For each strip, the user determines what density best matches the surrounding colour strip.
3. This value is inputted through the front panel.
The next page is for doing grey balance calibration by matching a CMY grey to the grey
produced by the K of the engine.
The Colour Adjustment feature provides creative control to increase or decrease the
brightness of an image, or the density of each colour; red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, or
magenta by using the operation panel keys.
9
PCR5P Product Information Guide
The controller has a full complement of colour management technologies built-in. Since
effective colour management requires both client environment and controller support, EFI has
leveraged its extensive colour expertise into the following components :
The controller uses EFIs proprietary ECT compression technology to compress typical office
documents in a loss less manner. Loss less compression ensures the highest level of print
quality is achieved. A highly compact page representation enables many pages to fit within
the page buffer memory pool and facilitate continuous print. The compression level , and
therefore the image quality achieved for a system with a given memory configuration is
dependent upon the complexity of pages that are being processed. The table below identifies
classes of page complexity, associated document types and estimated compression ratios.
10
PCR5P Product Information Guide
The Hard Disk drive enables C7005p to enjoy various functions such as Check and Print,
WebSpooling, Job Logging, and Electronic Collation.
Check & Print allows you to print a single copy of a multiple copy job that can be visually
checked before printing additional copies. When the Check and Print copy has been printed,
you can specify the number of additional copies of the job to print using the Check and Print
screens on the printer's operation panel. You can also use the Fiery WebSpooler to print
remaining copies of spooled Check and Print jobs.
Electronic Collation allows the pages of each copy of a print job to be printed in sequence. If
this mode is off, multiple copies of each page of a print job are printed in sequence. The
C7005p without the hard disk has RIP Once & Send Once-Print Many capabilities without
collation.
WebSpooler (one of the WebTools) allows you to view, manipulate, reorder, reprint, and
delete jobs currently spooling, processing, or printing on the C7005p. All jobs are stored on
the hard disk.
With WebSpooler, you can view and print a log of all the jobs printed to the C7005p. You can
also export the Job Log as a tab-delimited text file and import into a database, spreadsheet or
word processing application for job accounting purposes.
Utility
The Fiery Web Tools are a collection of utilities that allow users to monitor the printer and
job status remotely through a corporate Intranet or the Internet. Web Tools, are Java-based
and can be used on any platform through any Internet browser that suports frames, such as
Netscape Communicator v 4.06 and later with Java enabled (both for Windows & Macintosh)
and Microsoft Internet Explorer v 4.x and later with Java enabled (for Windows only).

Service
Services include printing applications as well as other network services such as HTTP and
SNMP. All of the services are capable of running over any interface that their underlying
protocol can run on. There are two general categories of services; Printing services and
Management services.
Printing Services
This provides native printing services for all supported protocol stacks and various network
environments. In particular, the following printing protocols are supported:
LPD (Line Printer Daemon)
Allows printing in TCP/IP networks using an LPR client.
PServer (Print Server)
Allows printing in NetWare networks. Capable of running in bindery and NDS modes
simultaneously. Supports connections to up to eight bindery servers plus an NDS connection.
PAP (Printer Access Protocol)
Allows printing in AppleTalk networks.
SMB (Server Message Block)
Allows printing in Windows networks. This is Microsofts File Sharing Protocol, which
allows a printer to be shared in a Windows workgroup.
The following table provides a matrix view of the available print support in various network
environments.

Market Situation
While the per-page cost of an on-demand colour laser print may not be any lower, the user
could avoid the storage costs and wastage typically associated with producing long runs of
promotional literature. Materials can also be kept up-to-date, and personalised to the needs of
recipients.
More Vendors
The number of vendors in the desktop colour laser printer market has lately been increasing.
As recently as 1994, the only vendors were QMS and Xerox. Today, however, there are
about 15 vendors although some are finding it tough (Sharp recently cancelled plans to sell
a machine under its own name, for example).
Many vendors use other companies machines, e.g., Xeroxs latest model uses a Sharp engine,
and Lexmark uses Minolta and Casio ones. This does not mean that two printers sold under
different brand names, but using the same engine, are more or less the same. While they may
share certain things in common, there can be important differences (some examples of which
are highlighted in the vendor and product profiles).

Year
Distinct categories are now established both vertically (home and professional markets)
and horizontally (inkjet, electrophotographic and thermal transfer markets).
Price points are low in the inkjet market, but there are marked improvements in output
quality.
There are few manufacturers and brands in the desktop colour page printer market.

Technology Trends
The colour printer market has grown rapidly from 7.7 million units in 1996 to 10.9 million
units in 1997, a 41.6% growth. However, there has been massive erosion of end-user prices
during the year, and revenue growth is projected to remain slow.
The market for thermal transfer printers (thermal wax transfer and dye sublimation) has been
severely impacted by performance and image quality improvements in both inkjet and
electrophotographic technologies. The decline has been dramatic: 18,700 units in 1996 down
to 4,600 in 1997. Leading vendors in this field, such as Tektronix, have shifted focus to
colour page printers to a wider range of office applications.
Inkjet Printers
The inkjet market has changed dramatically over the past year. Improved colour quality,
achieved by providing additional colour inks (six colours instead of four), has given vendors
the opportunity to produce some exciting visual material. Price points are at an all-time low,
and severe price erosion looks set to continue.
The home market now accounts for 40% of all inkjet printer sales up from 34.1% in 1996.
Although inkjet technology is being used in the professional office environment, its general
slow printing speed, especially in colour, limits its market potential.
The desktop colour page printer market is still relatively young, and has been characterised by
a limited number of print engines and vendor brands. This is changing, and more vendors are
entering the market. The market is segmenting into three classes of product, depending on
controller configuration and intended marketplace. The entry point, currently at $2,500,
consists of products fitted with limited-ability controllers these printers are under threat
from inkjet products. The middle sector, at about $4,500, will be targeted at the general
workgroup office environment, providing good network support with an integrated controller.
The high end products, upward of $7,500, will be targeted at professional graphic markets,
where colour consistency and A3 (or higher) paper capability will be of great importance.

PCR5P Product Information Guide
In the past, all desktop laser printers printed at speeds of just 3-4ppm. Today, speeds rise
to 6-12ppm. The only way to get a faster speed engine on a copier-based product is to pay
nearly a six-figure sum.
No desktop model could print in colour on 11 x 17 paper. Today, however, several
have the ability to do so and some can even print full bleed on A3 oversize paper.
Desktop colour printers rarely had paper trays holding more than 250 sheets. Today,
several have 500 sheet trays as standard and some go up to 2,000 sheets.
Until recently, no desktop colour printer could perform automatic duplex. Now, however,
several are able to do so.
The result of these advancements is that fewer people are going to have to migrate upward to
a connected colour copier just to get more upscale printing, although we should still
remember that the best colour quality matched with speed is generally from a colour copier.
There is a threat to our future colour business from the likes of Hewlett-Packard with their
colour laser printers. Therefore, it is important that we are able to offer a complete colour
range both copiers and printers so that we can satisfy any customers needs, whether it is
in the low-end of the colour market or the high-end. If we get the customer at the start of
their colour usage, we can then provide the customer with future colour products as their need
and volume grows.
Copier-printer convergence
Recognising that not everyone who needs the upscale colour printer performance of a
connected colour copier also needs the copier function itself, copier manufacturers are starting
to consider introducing defeatured printer-only versions of those machines. These look like
regular copiers with the top sliced off. Minolta are the first with such a product (see vendor
profile section).
If this represents something of a convergence of the copier and printer worlds, the same
phenomenon can be observed from the other direction; several colour printers can now be
configured with optional integrated scanners that effectively turn them into multifunctional
printer-copiers. Canon provide such a model (see vendor profile section).
In the colour world, as in the black-only market, the difference between printing and copying
is becoming blurred. With digital technology, copying and printing simply involve different
ways of delivering an electronic image to a laser engine, but the underlying technology is the
same. In the future, there will be increasingly modular systems, with buyers able to configure
the input methods local scanning, cross-network scanning, network print controllers, and
modems, according to their individual preferences.

PCR5P Product Information Guide
Laser Basics
As with mono machines, colour laser printers work by having a light source etch an image on
a photosensitive drum, which then attracts toner; the toner is transferred to paper, heated, and
fused, and an image is created. The difference is that with mono lasers, the process is
completed with one pass through the machine, but with colour models, the imaging usually
takes place a total of four times one for each of the process colours out of which all
composite colours are formed.
Solid inkjet technology shouldnt be confused with thermal inkjet, the much more common
and less expensive variety. The image quality, full colour speed, and price of solid inkjet, all
place it in the laser class.
This technology relies on a solid block, or crayon, of ink thats melted in a slot and dropped
onto the paper. The ink resolidifies immediately in a process designed to maintain its clarity.
As very little ink soaks into the paper, solid inkjets deliver more brilliant colours than regular
inkjets. Speeds are fairly brisk by full colour standards.
Solid inkjets work fine with regular copier and laser printer paper, and tend to create a slightly
embossed feel. One benefit of the technology is that the output doesnt smudge if it gets wet.
A drawback, however, is that jams often occur when a user tries to run solid inkjet printed
pages through the ADF of a copier.
With the reduction of laser printer prices, solid inkjet no longer has a price benefit, so
emphasises faster speeds and brilliant colours as advantages.
At present, Tektronix and Brother are the only vendors that offer products using solid inkjet
technology.
The Colours
All colour print technologies involve mixing three or four basic colours to create millions of
colour combinations. Often a three-colour palette is abbreviated to CMY (Cyan, Magenta,
Yellow). To form a composite black, CMY printers combine the three primary colours.
However, most colour printers now have a separate, true black. This four-colour palette is
referred to as CMYK, and its preferable to the three-colour variety. CMYK models
typically generate richer-looking black text than those that combine the CMY colours to
create composite black. The colours themselves, come in the form of different substances
depending on the print technology in the case of lasers, it is toner.
Computer monitors use a different palette to mix their colours red, green, blue (RGB). To
reconcile the two colour sets, some printers include colour matching software that lets users
specify which monitor they have, enabling the printer to adjust the output to match the
monitor.
25
PCR5P Product Information Guide
In the black/white printer market, the main reference point on a specification sheet when it
comes to image quality is a printers resolution. This is measured by numbers of rows and
columns of dots per square inch (dpi) that make up an image.
Today, most colour and b/w printers produce 600dpi output, and a handful work at 1,200dpi.
It is widely felt that higher numbers mean better quality.
However, according to HP, dpi is an inadequate measure of quality in the colour market, as it
focuses all attention on the number of dots that make up an image. Of equal or greater
importance, HP argues, is the ability to layer varied amounts of all four toner colours on a
single spot and to vary the size and position of dots. HP has come up with a heavily patented
technology called ImageREt 2400 that supposedly delivers 2,400dpi-grade results from a
600dpi engine. Cynics might argue that HP is obliged to argue this as a defensive position
against the fact that it cannot match the 1,200dpi resolution offered by Tektronix, its main
rival in the colour laser market.
Basically, a higher resolution can be helpful, but it is not the final solution also, never
forget, that image quality is very much in the eye of the beholder too.
Dithering refers to having a huge concentration of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK)
dots placed next to each other in close proximity, so that the eye detects a toned colour effect.
Continuous Tone is where you layer dots of the four basic colours on top of each other. With
continuous tone, there can be less dots, but dithering requires as many as possible to create the
desired effect.
Some printers offer resolutions higher than 600dpi (Tektronix and Panasonic both have
models offering 1,200dpi).
However, some laser printers that boast resolutions higher than 600dpi, are actually based on
what were originally designed to be 600dpi engines, but they use software that causes the
laser beam to create a higher-resolution image by placing tens of thousands of additional tiny
dots. This process is sometimes known as software interpolation or modulation. A few
engines are designed from the ground up to work at resolutions higher than 600dpi (Tektronix
and Panasonic).
Note, that true 1,200dpi resolution when available can result in much slower print speeds.
The 1,200dpi models from Tektronix and Panasonic work at half their normally quoted engine
speed when 1,200dpi is selected.
26
PCR5P Product Information Guide
The research consumer guide Better Buys for Business (this organisation provided the
Vendor and Product Profile information) has adopted a standard page definition. The
assumption is that there is 5% coverage of each of the four colours in the CMYK palette.
They take into account all consumable items that need replacing every 100,000 pages or less.
Using this method, the per-page costs of the most recently introduced colour printers fall in
the 10-12cent range. Black/white costs typically fall within the 2.0-2.3cent range.
PostScript
A PostScript printer is not necessary with only word-processing and business packages such
as Microsoft Word and Excel.
All PostScript printers offer at least Adobe PostScript Level 2 compatibility, and many new
machines now have PostScript 3, which offers various detailed enhancements.
Some printers dont have the original Adobe PostScript, but instead use a PostScript-
compatible print language developed by a third party.
More memory and powerful controllers enhance a printers speed and are essential for more
ambitious types of work.
Many laser printers are now sold with at least 32MB of memory as standard, but there is
always ample scope for upgrades.
27
PCR5P Product Information Guide
Most printers use controllers that are proprietary to the individual model, however, an
increasing number are using ones developed by EFI. The presence of an EFI controller on a
desktop printer is a good indication that the machine has sufficient horsepower to deal with
some serious workloads in terms of the complexity of files and the quantity being sent in
close succession.
Paper Handling
Typically, desktop lasers come with 250 sheet paper trays, and allow a second one to be
added as an option. A few models offer larger maximum paper capacities.
Sometimes, a multipurpose tray holding 100-150 sheets supports the standard 250 sheet tray.
As well as offering the convenience of a second active paper source, this can often take
heavier paper weights than the main tray.
In the past year, a number of machines have hit the market that are able to take 11 x 17
paper. Typically, they can actually take oversize paper a little larger than that in order to give
the capability of printing 11 x 17 images with full bleed. Among other things, this is very
helpful for producing proofs of layouts that are being sent out to a commercial printer.
Another recent arrival on the paper-handling front is automatic duplex. A few machines now
offer this, usually as options. Previously, even manual duplex was not typically
recommended on desktop colour lasers.
All models can print onto transparencies, but most require special ones that cost a lot more
than the regular variety. Printing onto transparencies always works more slowly than on
regular paper.
All colour printers come with parallel interfaces as standard; this ensures that they are
compatible with all Windows PCs. In addition, PostScript models can generally work with
Mac OS using a LocalTalk interface sometimes this is standard with the PostScript versions,
but often its an optional extra.
All workgroup colour printers can be fitted with network interface cards that allow you to
connect them directly to Ethernet and Token Ring networks. These days, Ethernet is
increasingly being offered as standard, even towards the bottom of the price ladder, though
some vendors continue to treat it as an option.

The C7005p is an A3 colour laser printer targeted at the more professional colour user. This is
due to the Fiery print controller and A3 full bleed capability.
In the chart above the C7005p has been positioned against the Iris, Lilac & Cattleya Colour
Solutions. This is because, although among the Colour Solutions, the Iris & Lilac are
positioned as general office Colour Solutions, they can also be positioned at the low end of
the professional colour spectrum for users with lower volume requirements that do not justify
the Cattleya.
The C7005p can be offered to the customer as an A3 colour print-only device when the
customer does not want to pay the higher price of the Iris and Lilac Colour Solutions.
However as the cost-per-page of the C7005p is more expensive than the Iris and Lilac Colour
Solutions, those customers who are on a click-based contract are more likely to prefer the
positioning of the Iris and Lilac Colour Solutions.

CAP Ventures 1999
Note: Colour page printers includes all colour laser and solid ink printers from 1-13 ppm full colour speed.
Based on estimates July 1999.
CAP Ventures have made the following comments on the Channel Map above:
Colour page printers were mainly sold in Western Europe in 1998 through distributors. 97%
of all placements went from Vendor to distributor in the first tier. 2% from vendors to dealer
and 1% from vendor direct through direct sales. The trend towards two tier via distributors
has been continuing and increasing over the last few years not least due to the price fall and
consequent margin erosion.
In the second tier, 96% were sold through dealer channels, predominantly the VAR channel
(91%) and a small number of small and multiple dealers. This reflects the similar strategy of
the major players in the colour paper market. The colour page printer still requires
assistance with installation and therefore cannot be served wholly by the plug-and-play retail
channel.
32
PCR5P Product Information Guide
NRG makes 60% of it's unit sales through the direct sales force and 40% through
dealers. Of our dealer base, some are capable of selling and supporting printers but many are
traditional copier dealers making slow progress with connectivity on Colour Copiers & MFPs.
We have virtually no sales going through the VARs who channel 91% of printers in Europe,
or any relationship with the IT dealers and VARs who account for 96% of units sold.
So there is a very poor fit between our channel structure and the current colour laser
printer market structure. Also, we cannot generate pull without significant advertising
expenditure, which is out of the question. Therefore we have to do the following to ensure
that we take a share of the colour laser printer market with the Fresa printers and our print-
capable Colour Solutions:
All direct salesforces must be capable of selling Colour printers and connected
Colour Solutions together using a consultancy-selling approach
Requires significant training and a "MindShift" project for most operations
Requires the formulation of a standardized consulting system for each operation
Sales and marketing effort must target the key decision makers in the printer buying
organisation, who are invariably different to our traditional contacts
Some sales people may be put off selling current Colour Solutions due to fear of
selling colour products. However, the Fresa printers are simple and easy-to-use,
dispelling the sales persons fear that colour products are more complicated.
There must be a focus on our major accounts to displace installed competitor colour
printers and replace them with a mix of colour printers and Colour Solutions
33
PCR5P Product Information Guide
F/C : 5ppm
B/W : 17ppm (A4 LEF)
The first print speed of Fresa is much faster than that of the current and new competitors
models thanks to its Short Paper Path design. This is particularly useful when printing one-
off proofs. (The figures for QMS 330 and Phaser 780 are based on Epsons model using the
same Fuji Xerox engine. The figures for HP CLJ8500 are based on Canons model using the
same Canon engine.)
The Fresa prints with an outstanding image quality all kinds of colour data including colour
photographs and drawings, thanks to 600 x 600 dpi resolution and 256 colour gradations. The
toner particles are as small as 5.5m. (HP CLJ8500: 6.5m). Black text is pleasant to the eyes
because it is not glossy compared with current existing competitors colour laser printers. Thin
Line mode available in the Fresa Win IPDL-C driver is not supported by C7005p. However,
selecting the Detail setting for Halftone Graphics tab in the PostScript driver will help to print
fine lines or thin diagonal lines clearly, which is very useful for CAD drawing or design
offices.
EFI Controller
The C7005p has an embedded EFI Fiery controller enabling reliable, high performance colour
printing. Genuine Adobe PostScript 3 ensures compatibility with all software applications and
accurate colour management. Reliable network connectivity comes as standard enabling
workgroup colour printing direct from the desktop. With an optional hard disk, the Check &
Print function is also available.
Fiery WebTools
Ideal for both Internet and corporate intranet applications, Fiery WebTools enable job
management from any platform via a Java-enabled Web browser. All job control options
such as job merging, editing, and previews, as well as information on the status of jobs are
accessible through Fiery WebTools. With WebSetup, administrators can even configure a
Fiery remotely.
34
PCR5P Product Information Guide
Up to two optional 500 sheets paper feed units can be added to the C7005p enabling a
maximum of 1,300 sheets input capacity and a variety of up to four types of media to be
installed in the paper trays for total flexibility. For example, A3 oversize paper, headed note
paper, white A4 copy paper and OHPs can all be stored in the C7005p printer enabling a
workgroup to print on a variety of media over the network without having to change paper
within the trays.
The C7005p achieves A3 full bleed printing on A3 oversize paper up to 13 x 18. Therefore,
the user can print proofs, floorplans, etc. Advertising agencies, graphics designers, etc will
appreciate this feature.
When the user selects OHP Mode or Thick Paper Mode in the printer driver, the fusing speed
decreases to ensure high image quality on OHPs or thicker paper. This results in a slower
print speed. When the OHP transparency mode is selected, paper is automatically inserted
between each OHP transparency to prevent them from being stuck together.

Branding Considerations
There has been one version of the C7005p developed for the whole of the European market.
This means that in addition to applying branding labels at the point of preparation of the
machine prior to despatch to the customer / dealer / distributor there are some additional
branding considerations. The packaging of the C7005p is non-branded.
The printer firmware is multi-branded. Therefore, the printer can be set up to be either NRG,
Nashuatec, Rex-Rotary, Gestetner or Ricoh branded. When you receive the printer from
NRGI it will be Ricoh branded in the firmware. Therefore, the following steps need to be
taken to implement your own brand:
1. Lift packaging cover off machine. (Printers are packed on a pallet with a cardboard cover
over the printer and pallet).
2. Plug in the printer.
3. While pressing the online key and the left arrow key at the same time, turn the printer
on at the mains switch.
4. Operating panel displays Self Start in English.

7. Turn the machine off and on at the mains switch to reset.
8. The language can also be changed at this point from English to French, Italian, German,
Spanish or Dutch.
9. Remove Ricoh branding label and apply Nashuatec, Rex-Rotary or Gestetner branding
label contained in Operating Instructions package. Apply Colour Cigars decal below

Executive Summary
The PCR6 is the first Ricoh A4 colour laser printer to be launched by the Group. It is a
Hitachi engine with a Ricoh controller, which is an upgrade to the current Pomelo printer
launched by Ricoh in Q2 1999. NRG launc hed the first Ricoh colour printers in Q3 1999 with
the PCR5P/W. We have seen a lot of growth in the Ricoh colour laser printers during 2000
and subsequently have a lot of demand from customers for an A4 colour laser printer to
complete the range. Indeed it is in the A4 colour laser printer market where we expect to see
exponential growth during the next few years. To date we have been selling the Lexmark A4
colour laser printer successfully in RR France & N Benelux.

The PCR6 will be available for launch in March 2001. It is a 6 ppm col / 24 ppm mono printer
for general office users. The current Pomelo printer was not launched by the Group as it was
considered competition would be too fierce from QMS who were launching it as one of their
price competitive Magicolor printers. However, now QMS have joined forces with Minolta
they will launch a new Minolta engine so will not be launching their own version of the
PCR6.

Conclusion
2001 will be a busy year for colour printers and the new Hybrid products. The PCR6 will
complement the current PCR6W/DW laser printers. In April 2001 we will launch the PCR38
which is the first of the new range of Hybrid products. This will be followed by the
PCR8/10 colour laser printers in September 2001. Ricoh Japan do not intend to develop any
A4 colour laser engines, despite the fact this is where the real growth is in the European low
end colour laser market.

PCR6 Product Information Guide
IPDL-C is a Windows GDI based page description language developed by Ricoh. IPDL-C
stands for Intelligent Page Description Language-Colo ur.
Data is transferred to the Printer as an image (every line or piece of text) without any
additional printing systems or memory. Ordinarily, our competitors GDI printers transfer the
data page by page, requiring more time & memory. IPDL-C focuses on performance through
Windows applications. Ricoh unique colo ur matching is supported.
As a major feature, IPDL-C has Auto Page detection function, which is an advantage in terms
of print speed and cost when printing documents that have separate colo ur and black & white
pages. When IPDL-C receives mixed colo ur and black & white pages in one document, black
& white pages are printed at the 24 ppm engine speed even if colour mode has been selected
as a default.

Market Overview
The colour page printer market continues to grow at a significant pace. In 1998, the Western
European market increased by approximately 70 %, with total shipments reaching slightly
more than 92,000 units. In 1999, the market experienced a dramatic upturn of almost 94 % to
reach in excess of 178,000 units. With such a rapidly expanding market place, many new
players are entering this market to establish themselves as colour laser printer vendors.
Major product introductions were seen in this space at the end of 1998, while 1999 saw the
top players trying to take advantage of these new product lines. As Table 1 shows, HP
reasserted itself as a market leader in this segment by growing market share from 26.3 % to
34.7%. The LaserJet 4500 that began shipping in the fourth quarter of 1998 came into its own
in 1999 HP shipped in excess of 53,000 units in its first full year of shipments. Similarly,
HP shipped more than 8,600 LaserJet 8500 printers in its first full year of shipments. Table 2
illustrates that not only has HP been able to repel competition from the combined might of
QMS / Minolta in second position and Xerox / Tektronix in third, but it has also increased the
gap between itself and the rest of the pack. This feat can be attributed to the success of the
LaserJet 4500 and 8500 products. QMS / Minolta did well, moving into second position with
its strategy of leading with price. The aggressively priced Magicolor 2 DeskLaser helped to
drive sales for the company. HP and QMS / Minolta outperformed the overall market growth,
but Xerox / Tektronix showed only a comparatively modest increase in sales and
consequently lost market share.

Other factors which helped to stimulate the growth of this market segment in 1999 were as
follows:
While the market is growing solidly, several factors inhibited greater market growth:
Acquisition cost for a colour printer is still higher than that for a comparable monochrome
printer
The cost of operating a colour printer still creates concern; cost of operating includes the
cost of consumables and the costs associated with supporting colour printers
Colour is still more complex than monochrome
Many users have no real need to print colour
Several factors will impact the future of this segment. Newer products based on tandem-
engine technology will continue to bring faster solutions to users. In addition, a new category
of low-cost colour page printers will help to increase print volume. Manufacturers will
continue to address the ease-of-use aspects of these products and more colour page printers
with multifunction capabilities will be brought to market (such as the HP Colour LaserJet
14
PCR6 Product Information Guide
8550). All of these trends will help to fuel market growth. On the other hand, cost per page
and cost of supporting these devices is expected to continue to inhibit greater growth. Also
continued education and exposure to colour will be necessary to convert the majority of users
to colour.
At present, only about 4% of the shipments of workgroup page printers in the 1 ppm to 30
ppm range are in colour. Dataquest believes that vendors will continue to promote colour as
an alternative to monochrome, which will raise this proportion to more than 27% in 2004 (see
Figure 1). As Figure 2 shows, while increased A3 colour printer availability will stimulate
new colour applications, A3 colour printers will not grow as quickly as A4 colour printers.

Shipments of colour page printers will not overtake those of monochrome page printers in the
next five years. From the perspective of the installed base, the number of colour page printers
in use is a drop in the ocean compared with the number of monochrome page printers.

Vendors should continue to educate users about the value of using colour. At the same time,
vendors need to work towards destroying the remaining barriers to the use of colour
technology. The increasing use of the Internet, coupled with the availability of more
documents in electronic form should help to drive usage in the future.

The PCR6 will be the first Ricoh A4 colour laser printer to be launched by the Group. At
the time of launc h it will sit below the A3 PCR6W/DW printers as an A4 general office
colour laser printer to complete our colour laser printer line up.
For those subsidiaries selling the Lexmark C6003, the PCR6 will sit above that model as it is
double the colour print speed.

Duplex Printing
Many users have duplex printing needs for colour applications such as fliers / mailers, etc.
Furthermore if the user is going to use the printer as a general office mono & colour device a
duplex option is required. The PCR6 supports duplex printing with the optional Duplex unit.

Executive Summary
High performance A3 Colour Printing for Office Applications
With enhanced features, such as higher print speed, duplex printing, and enhanced
image quality, we have the opportunity to expand our colour printer sales in the
General Office environment, where colour print demand is still expected to continue
growing.
Indeed, the two versions of the PCR6W and PCR6DW (simplex and duplex), will
replace the current PCR5W, offering new print capabilities to Windows end-users.
The main differences between old and new models have been summarised in the table
below:
For network environments, the PCR6W/PCR6DW can also be equipped with a Fast
Ethernet device and, thanks to the Aficio Manager tool, either operators or network
administrators can easily monitor the printer status.

PCR6W/DW Product Information Guide
One of the key strengths of the PCR5W/PCR6W/PCR6DW engine is a fast first print
speed thanks to its Short paper Path. As the first print speed in monochrome
printing is much faster than competitors models, the PCR6W/PCR6DW can also be
recommended to replace conventional B/W LP.
Ricoh Japan carried out an end user survey of colour laser printers in 1999 and one of
the key points with which end users are dissatisfied is a slow warm up time. With the
PCR6W/PCR6DW, the warm- up time has been improved from 450 secs. to 380 secs.

Duplex Printing
Many users in the general office have duplex printing needs. Duplex printing is not
available with the PCR5W model, and for this reason it cannot be recommended to
users who would like to print booklets, fliers, mailers, etc. in duplex. With the
PCR6W/PCR6DW, a duplex model has been developed to meet market needs.

Duplex unit option is not available.
Please Note: When the user needs to print on the reverse side, they need to select
bypass tray from the paper tray menu, and backside from paper type menu in
driver. Reverse side printing using the standard or optional paper trays is not
supported. This is because the fusing oil on the front side will damage the paper tray
friction pad.

Line frequency has been improved with the PCR6W/PCR6DW. The most suitable
print mode for each type of image should be selected by the user to achieve the most
suitable line frequency and hence the perfect printed output.
Photograph mode
Line frequency is improved from 106lpi to 180lpi. This improvement is effective on
photo image printing e.g. digital camera data. With the PCR6W/PCR6DW, smoother
and more detailed photo images are realised.

Utilities
IPDL-C
IPDL-C is a Windows GDI based Intelligent Page Description Language developed
by Ricoh. Data is transferred to the printer as an image (every line or text) without the
requirement for additional printing systems and memory. Ordinarily, competitors
GDI printers transfer the data page by page, which slows down the processing speed
and requires additional memory. IPDL-C focuses on improving performance through
Windows applications. Due to low performance, Windows ICC profiles are not
supported. Instead, Ricohs unique colo ur matching is supported.
As a major feature, IPDL-C has an Auto Page detection function, which improves
print speed and reduces print cost when printing documents that have separate colour
and black and white pages. When IPDL-C receives mixed colour and black and white
pages in one document, black and white pages are printed as true black and white
pages at 24 ppm engine speed even if colo ur mode (default) has been selected.
PostScript Level 2
The PCR6W/PCR6DW has PostScript level 2 emulation. This PDL is a clone
developed by Ricoh and supports to the same level as Adobe PS level 2. This clone
has been sold in Japan since 1986.

Market Overview
The colour page printer market continues to grow at a significant pace. In 1998, the
Western European market increased by approximately 70 %, with total shipments
reaching slightly more than 92,000 units. In 1999, the market experienced a dramatic
upturn of almost 94 % to reach in excess of 178,000 units. With such a rapidly
expanding market place, many new players are entering this market to establish
themselves as colour laser printer vendors.
Major product introductions were seen in this space at the end of 1998, while 1999
saw the top players trying to take advantage of these new product lines. As Table 1
shows, HP reasserted itself as a market leader in this segment by growing market
share from 26.3 % to 34.7%. The LaserJet 4500 that began shipping in the fourth
quarter of 1998 came into its own in 1999 HP shipped in excess of 53,000 units in
its first full year of shipments. Similarly, HP shipped more than 8,600 LaserJet 8500
printers in its first full year of shipments. Table 2 illustrates that not only has HP been
able to repel competition from the combined might of QMS / Minolta in second
position and Xerox / Tektronix in third, but it has also increased the gap between itself
and the rest of the pack. This feat can be attributed to the success of the LaserJet 4500
and 8500 products. QMS / Minolta did well, moving into second position with its
strategy of leading with price. The aggressively priced Magicolor 2 DeskLaser helped
to drive sales for the company. HP and QMS / Minolta outperformed the overall
market growth, but Xerox / Tektronix showed only a comparatively modest increase
in sales and consequently lost market share.

Other factors that helped to stimulate the growth of this market segment in 1999 were
as follows:
While the market is growing solidly, several factors inhibited greater market growth:
Acquisition cost for a colour printer is still higher than that for a comparable
monochrome printer
The cost of operating a colour printer still creates concern; cost of operating
includes the cost of consumable s and the costs associated with supporting colour
printers
Colour is still more complex than monochrome
Many users have no real need to print colour
Several factors will impact the future of this segment. Newer products based on
tandem-engine technology will continue to bring faster solutions to users. In addition,
21
PCR6W/DW Product Information Guide
a new category of low-cost colour page printers will help to increase print volume.
Manufacturers will continue to address the ease-of-use aspects of these products and
more colour page printers with multifunction capabilities will be brought to market
(such as the HP Colour LaserJet 8550). All of these trends will help to fuel market
growth. On the other hand, cost per page and cost of supporting these devices is
expected to continue to inhibit greater growth. Also continued education and exposure
to colour will be necessary to convert the majority of users to colour.
At present, only about 4% of the shipments of workgroup page printers in the 1 ppm
to 30 ppm range are in colour. Dataquest believes that vendors will continue to
promote colour as an alternative to monochrome, which will raise this proportion to
more than 27% in 2004 (see Figure 1). As Figure 2 shows, while increased A3 colour
printer availability will stimulate new colour applications, A3 colour printers will not
grow as quickly as A4 colour printers.

Shipments of colour page printers will not overtake those of monochrome page
printers in the next five years. From the perspective of the installed base, the number
of colour page printers in use is a drop in the ocean compared with the number of
monochrome page printers.

Vendors should continue to educate users about the value of using colour. At the same
time, vendors need to work towards destroying the remaining barriers to the use of
colour technology. The increasing use of the Internet, coupled with the availability of
more documents in electronic form should help to drive usage in the future.

The PCR6W/PCR6DW printers will directly replace the current PCR5W printer. At
higher speeds than the PCR5W and with A3 oversize print capability the
PCR6W/PCR6DW printers will sit alongside the current PCR5P printer which will
not be upgraded to a higher speed device.
Furthermore the PCR6W/PCR6DW duplex model with 24 ppm mono print speeds has
the same paper handling capability to replace workgroup mono laser printers.
The PCR6W/PCR6DW printers will also sit alongside the I-2 and L-2 Colour

Executive Summary
The PMR26/N is a family of 26 ppm A3-capable mono laser printers. There are two versions, the
PMR26N, which has an Ethernet card fitted as standard and the PMR26, for which the Ethernet card
is an option. Apart from the Ethernet card, the two versions have similar specifications.
These machines replace the 21 ppm PMR21 printer. The A4- format 16 ppm PMR16 will continue
through 2001
Marketing Objectives
To have all direct-selling subsidiaries marketing the complete range of Aficio printers bundled
together with the Aficio MFPs using a consultative selling approach which combines analysis of
customer needs, an offering that combines different function products to fulfil those needs and a
bundled supplies/service/support package.
To enter the IT dealer, VAR and Systems Integrator channels in key European markets with the
Aficio printer range.
To position the Ricoh- manufactured printers within the Aficio range as high-performance networked
workgroup solutions for applications that require single-function printing. To support the MFP
range.
To increase awareness of NRGI's "multiple original network printing" solutions and build awareness
of NRGI's ability to offer a complete hardcopy output service to the networked environment, thereby
increasing the print volume made on our products.

PMR26/N Product Information Guide
Target Markets
The PMR26/N is suitable for individual and workgroup printing requirements in the general office
environment. It can be used for single or multi- user use, either directly attached or via the network.
We expect the majority of installations to be made in a networked environment.
The PMR26/N is an ideal major-account machine, as many printer tenders are for products in the
15-32ppm range. As we have aggressive price-positioning, we should be able to compete on both
specifications and price.
As with the other Aficio printers, the real opportunity with the PMR26/N is to combine it with our
print-capable MFP range and to offer customers a full line-up of Aficio Printing Solutions. This
approach enables sales organisations to target customers according to their enterprise printing needs,
rather than just looking at their desktop printer needs.
So far this has proved hard to do. It appears that sales people are reluctant to offer a single- function
printer when they could be selling a print-capable MFP. During the second half of 2000, we are
focussing on encouraging sales companies to invest in the infrastructure, training and incentive
schemes to make this transition successfully.
Sales Channels
The PMR26/N will be sold mainly through our direct sales force and international distributors. It will
also be sold by those of our dealers who are capable of handling networked products.
The PMR26/N offers opportunities in the IT Reseller channel, including Value Added Resellers
(VARs) and Systems Integrators (SIs). However, as we do not have many of these IT dealers, we do
not expect to make a great deal of sales though the indirect channel at first. A small number of
subsidiaries are in the process of entering this channel, while most operations do not yet have a
channel marketing strategy for printers. In Europe, more than 96% of page printers above 12ppm are
sold indirectly so it is essential that we continue to build a presence in the IT channel, leading with the
printers range and then following through with the MFP products.

One year after launching the first Aficio mono printer, the biggest issue we face is still that of
incentivising/enabling the direct sales force to market network printers and overcome the brand
loyalty and "channel loyalty" that printer buyers have to HP and the IT dealer channel. To overcome
this requires extensive and ongoing sales training, development of local cons ultative selling systems
to enable a multi-technology sale, investment in local support infrastructure and integrated marketing
communications plans to communicate our unique product and support offering.
Secondly, subsidiaries must plan their activities with the IT dealer channel and find ways to sell into
this channel while avoiding conflict with the direct sales force and those printer-capable office
equipment dealers who will sell these products.
In short, all sales operations must have a comprehens ive Strategic Marketing Plan for the printer
business. It is clear at this stage that not all sales companies have developed such a plan.
Conclusions
The PMR26/N is a great product in terms of basic specifications and price/performance, and it is an
attractive machine for demanding individual users and small workgroups.
The copier and printer markets are converging very quickly. Across Europe, copy volume continues
to reduce at a rate of 3-4% per year, while print volume increases at 10-15%. Using the assumption
that the electronically- generated and distributed document will ultimately replace the hard-copy
document, it is essential that we capture a significant share of the printed document volume over the
next 2-3 years to be prepared for the next paradigm shift to electronic document management.
The Aficio printer range combined with the print-capable MFP range, enables us to position our
brands as offering a complete print solution for all common business environments from single users
right through to centralised printing applications. This is an essential message to communicate to the
market in our transition from being a copier vendor to being an IT and document communications
solutions provider.

Ethernet 10/100BaseT network interface (optional on the PMR26). Both machines have two
expansion interfaces which can be used for the Hard Disk, Ethernet NIB (in the case of the PMR26)
and the IEEE1394 interface.
Drivers Overview
The PMR26/N supports PCL5e, PCL6, PostScript 3 and a new Ricoh PDL. Details of the drivers for
PCL6, PostScript 3 and the new Ricoh PDL are as follows:
8
PMR26/N Product Information Guide
PCL 6 emulation
PCL 6 is the latest version of the PCL family. The firmware of the PMR26/N printer controller
supports both PCL 5e and PCL XL commands. PCL XL commands are designed to match Window's
GDI (graphical device interface) commands closely. This gives users several performance and
print-quality benefits which are especially noticeable for complex graphics:
Adobe PostScript 3
A PPD (PostScript Printer Description) file is provided for the PMR26/N. This file defines the
specific features of the printer (such as paper handling options, paper size range, and so on) and the
user interface built into the driver.
Major Advantages
Faster throughput speed than HPs PCL XL
Compatible with future Ricoh Document Solution software solutions such as Job Binding
and Batch Printing in DeskTopBinder
Comprehensible GUI
- Preset GUI provided in addition to conventional type GUI with many tabs
- Preset type (new)
Some typical icons are provided as defaults, and also customers can create and register
additional icons to their own specifications, such as combinations of 2 in 1 with duplex
mode. So customers can print any kind of job by clicking a single icon.
- Tab type (conventional)
More convenient for customers who are accustomed to manipula ting a PCL driver.

PMR26/N Product Information Guide
With our bias towards direct sales channels and our inc reasing use of cross-selling sales concepts, the
Aficio printer range will most often be sold as part of a total package that includes MFPs and copiers.
The PMR26/N is at the low-mid end of the range between the PMR16 (16ppm) and PMR32 (32ppm).
It is suitable for demanding individual users and small workgroup applications requiring fast network
printing.
Small Work
(5-29)
Group
(3-10)
(1-4)
Network Environment
As it is equipped with a multiple protocol NIB (option with the PMR26), the PMR26/N can be used in
the following network:
- TCP/IP
- IPX/SPX
- NetBEUI
- AppleTalk
14
PMR26/N Product Information Guide
Sales Channels
The chart below is based on data from Cap Ventures. It shows the channel structure for all page
printers over 12 ppm sold in Europe. Each box shows the percentage of units sold through that
channel member during 1997 (the situation has not change significantly since these figures were
published):
4 21 71 4
4 90 6
0 4 30 23 47 4 1 1
Users
Cap Ventures made several comments on these figures as follows:
"Compared to 1996, in 1997 we saw a move away from direct sales and towards multiple dealers
as well as the retail channel. Note that the retail channel at 4% is on par with direct sales. Direct
sales are most likely to have lost out because of the high costs involved with keeping such a force, as
well as the competition from multiple dealers and VARs both offering Added Value to the sale,
particularly in providing network solutions. Multiple dealers have gained significantly in
percentage of shipments sold via the dealer channel firstly because they have strong buying power
which can compete with the retail channel as well as the distributor and secondly because they offer a
wider range of vendor products. Smaller dealers are more dependent on the vendor, and if they cannot
supply a full range of products, the smaller dealer's offering is incomplete.
"Why the retail channel and specifically the PC/Electrical stores channel should gain in importance is
a sign of the times - consumers and small businesses understand more about printers today and
so are more willing to forfeit the service and consultancy a dealer offers , in addition to the
obvious price advantage.
"Lastly, as a general rule, page printers are getting faster. If 6ppm was the entry level of the home user
in 1996, then it was 8ppm in 1997. This means the segment of the market (>12 ppm) is not necessarily
100% SME (small and medium size enterprises) and corporate users."
In this market, it is the vendors who hold the power. HP has such a large market share that it dictates
the actions of the channel. Furthermore, the printer market is driven by pull marketing, with
advertising and sales promotion practices by companies like HP generating demand which is then
"pulled" through the channel.
15
PMR26/N Product Information Guide
NRG makes 60% of its unit sales through the direct sales force and 40% through dealers. Of
our dealer base, some are capable of selling and supporting printers but many are traditional copier
dealers making slow progress with connectivity on MFPs. We have a very small amount of sales
going through the IT distributors who channel 71% of printers in Europe, and few relationships with
the dealers and VARs who account for 90% of units sold.
So there is a very poor fit between our channel structure and the current printer market
structure. Also, we cannot generate pull without significant advertising expenditure, which is out of
the question. Therefore we have to do the following to ensure that we take a share of the printer
market with the printer products and our print-capable MFPs:
- All direct salesforces must be capable of selling printers and MFPs together using a
consultancy-selling approach
- Requires significant training and a "MindShift" project for most operations.
- Requires the formulation of a standardized consulting system for each operation.
- Sales and marketing effort must target the key decision makers in the printer buying
organisation, who are invariably different to our traditional contacts.
- There must be a focus on our major accounts to displace installed competitor printers and
replace them with a mix of printers and MFPs.
16
PMR26/N Product Information Guide
The PMR26/N engine runs at 26ppm (A4/LT LEF) and achieves a first print speed of 6.5 sec./A4 or
LT.
Once installed, a user can do everything from the front panel adding the paper by opening the
standard and optional trays, checking the LCD and pushing the buttons when messages appear on the
LCD panel, recovering from paper jams and replacing Toner Cartridge s.
Network Ready
Printers in this market segment are likely to be used as shared printers in a small workgroup (3 to 10
people). One of the top requirements for printers in this segment is that they are network ready,
therefore there are two versions of the PMR26/N, one with a standard NIB, and the other with an
optional NIB.
Additionally, the PMR26/N officially support the following Unix Operating Systems:
Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8
HP UX 8.x, 9.x, 10.x and 11.0
Red Hat Linux 6.2
Many Options
With a variety of paper handling options, the PMR26/N series enables users to complete their print
jobs efficiently.
- 4-bin Mail Box
- 1-bin Shift Tray
- Paper Feed Units
- Duplex Unit
Standard PostScript 3
In addition to PCL6 emulation, the PMR26/N comes with genuine Adobe PostScript 3 as standard.
Users can expect better quality and faster performance than PostScript Level 2. For complex
documents, PostScript Level 3 processes each component as a separate object to optimize imaging
throughput. This means that Russian-P2 can support the Mac environment as well. Also, PDF files
can be printed faster than on PCL-only or PostScript Level 2 printers.
17
PMR26/N Product Information Guide
B) PCL6
PCL6 is a combination of PCL5e and XL commands. PCL XL provides improved printing for
complex graphics. It closely matches the Windows GDI, which is used by main applications and
gives the user a more faithful reproduction of the original.
Security
The PMR26/N has a Locked Print function, so confidential prints can be secured with a user
password. Using this function, documents will be not be printed out automatically, and the user must
input their valid ID number at the printer after sending print job.
Note: The optional HDD must be installed for this.
Network Utilities
Aficio Manager (including PortNavi), consisting of an Administration and Client version and
Multidirect Print will be provided on the Driver CD-Rom.
18
PMR26/N Product Information Guide
- To position the Ricoh- manufactured printers within the Aficio range as high-performance
networked workgroup solutions for applications that require single- function printing. To support the
MFP range.
- To increase awareness of NRGI's "multiple original network printing" solutions and build
awareness of NRGI's ability to offer a complete hardcopy output service to the networked
environment, thereby increasing the print volume made on our products.
Communications Brief
The following section has been taken from the document used to brief our marcoms agency to
produce the original brochures, Ads and DM pieces for the Aficio Printers. It has been included in this
document so you can see the direction of the brief:
"User / Customer - Typical characteristics of the user/buyer, decision maker. Who will use or buy
this product? (Size and type of organisation they work for) Why and How will they buy?
The IT/MIS Manager is our primary target. Printers have traditionally been specified and
bought by the IT manager and increasingly the IT manager is responsible for mixed
MFP/printer purchases as well. As more of our products become print- focussed and
network-capable, then the importance of the IT manager within the DMU (Decision Making
Unit) will increase. However, where consultancy selling systems are used (e.g. Paperflow) the
DMU is often influenced primarily by a financial individual or general manager higher up in
the purchasing organisation.
These products, together with the multi- functional Aficio products, will be targeted at
corporate buyers from SME (Small and Medium Sized Enterprises) up and
governmental/administrative bodies. The focus should be on presenting the whole solution of
combined copy/print/fax/scan MFPs together with single- function printers so that the customer
clearly understands that our product range can meet the diverse needs of all the users in the
organisation. In addition to this, the package under which the multi-product sale is made is
measured in terms of cost of ownership and ease of management improvements that the
customer can achieve compared to purchasing from multiple vendors.
In addition to using our current direct sales force and that part of our dealer base that is capable
of selling networked products, we will also be recruiting IT dealers, VARs and Systems
Integrators as resellers of our printers and connected MFPs. The presentation therefore needs to
be clearly "IT" rather than "copier company" in its style."
There will be a new 4pp brochure for the PMR26/N which covers both versions of the machine. The
19
PMR26/N Product Information Guide
style and layout will be similar to that used for the PMR32 and PMR45. This design has been used for
all of the colour and mono Aficio printers and is distinct from our other brochures in that it is more
IT-oriented.
The centre pages of this brochure will contain a picture of the machine, fully configured, with small
bulleted sections to explain the features and benefits. The overall design is easy to read quickly and
delivers the message more concisely than large sections of descriptive text.
The back pages of the brochure will contain the specifications, an exploded line drawing of the
machine and its options and two screen-shots of the drivers.
These pieces were published in Q4 2000 and are on the theme of Aficio Network Printing
Solutions. They are not product specific. They are aimed at IT/MIS managers and have a strong
cost and control message. There are three treatments to chose from and the three themes are used on
both advert and DM pieces. All six pieces are designed for the any of the brands to be dropped in.
The messages are IT oriented and cover networking, total cost of ownership, support and other areas
that are critical in IT purchasing decisions. One section of the electronic brochure lists all the mono
and colour products in the Aficio range so that, as we launch more products, the electronic brochure
will be continuously updated.
This audio programme was published in July 1999 and is called "Selling Aficio Network Printing
Solutions". The content of this audio programme was aimed entirely at sales people who are
struggling with the new dynamics of the market and the need to sell to IT professionals.
The cassette explains how network printing fits into our product offering and how the Aficio MFPs
and Aficio printers complement one another. In addition to listing some key differentiators of our
products, services and support packages, it also covers some of the main issues IT managers may
raise with a sales person.

Tray Lock
If a customer uses different kinds of paper, trays can be locked to prevent printing on wrong paper
such as letterhead or coloured paper. When Auto Tray Select is selected, the locked trays will not be
used.
Auto Continue
If Auto Continue is enabled, in case the printer runs out of paper of the specified paper size and type,
the printer ignores the error and proceeds with printing in the following ways:

Output Tray
Model K-P basically has only one standard output tray. The 1-bin Shift Sort Tray and the 4-bin Mailbox are
optional. The following shows the load and sensor specifications.

Sequential Stack
The sequential stack mode is applicable when:
1. Auto Tray Switch is specified for the standard output tray via printer system setting when the 4-bin
Mailbox or the 1-bin Shift Tray is installed.
2. An output tray is specified via system default setting from the driver.
Operation
When the standard output tray becomes full, output is in bin 1 (output bin is shifted in sequence through
bin 4).
When the last available output tray becomes full, printing is terminated after an alert message.
When the current specified output tray becomes full during output and the next available output tray
(searched in numerical order) has paper, printing is terminated after the alert message is shown. Output is

continued by automatically switching to the next available tray, even if all output paper is removed from
the specified tray.
When paper is removed from the next available tray, it is automatically enabled to be used for output.
When the next sequential stack job is received, the tray of the smallest number, excluding the paper full
tray, is set for the output bin.
When the additional output is required after all the output trays become full, the print job is paused until all
paper is removed. In case of the output tray without the paper remaining detect function, however, the
printer restarts output using standard output tray after all paper has been removed and repeats from step 1.
Finishing Capability
Any of the following trays can be selected as an output tray from the driver, and the following finishing
functions are available in that case:
Standard Tray : Collation

Executive Summary
Product Overview
There are only 2 replacement models for the new range. The CCR060A replaces the
CCR060 and the CCR062A replaces the CCR062/68 models. The CCR062A has an
optional editing board which will facilitate logistics.

CCR060A/62A Product Information Guide
Product Positioning
Model Numbers
As we are positioning the new CCR060A and CCR062A as multi- functional black
and white / colour MFPs we will take the mono print and copy speed as the basis for
the model numbering but still following the Colour Solution concept using CS.
Conclusion
The CCR060A and the CCR062A are the beginning of the shift from a colour digital
product range to a black and white / colour digital product range. This shift will be
continued with the Model J printer based hybrid product. As we have already invested
a lot in developing the Colour Solutions concept and greatly increased our unit sales
and connectivity ratio using this theme we shall continue using the Colour Solutions
concept to launch the CCR060A and the CCR062A. However, the CCR060A and the
CCR062A will be the agent to change the focus to the black and white benefits of a
Colour Solution.

CCR060A/62A Product Information Guide
Market Situation
We have previously talked about convergence of the copier and printer market. This
market trend led to the launch of Colour Solutions whereby we have combined the
functions of printing and copying (and scanning) into one device.
The convergence of the copier and printer colour market has followed closely behind
the convergence of the copier and printer mono market which drove the massive
growth of connected digital BW MFPs.
Many vendors in both the traditional copier and printer market are positioning their
general office colour devices as BW devices with colour capability. As copier vendors
begin to develop their own print controllers (e.g Xerox with the Document Centre
Color 50) they are positioning their colour machines predominantly as BW digital
devices. Furthermore, by positioning colour devices with a low black cost per page,
the customer is persuaded of the benefits of having dual capability in one device.
It is in the general office that we shall see a massive growth in colour capable devices
as customers replace their analogue or digital devices with black and white / colour
capable digital MFPs with a BW digital cost-per-page.

As the BW print and copy speeds of the CCR060A and CCR062A are 25 ppm and 31
ppm respectively the CCR060A and CCR062A will compete directly with the
DMR22/27 and beneath the DMR35/45 series. At present we have no replacement
BW MFPs for the Russian-C series. The CCR060A and the CCR062A represent the
start of the shift from a separate colour and BW digital product range to combined
black and white and colour capable products.

Please see Print Controllers product information for details of printer functions.
FAX Option
With the optional FAX unit, Model CCR062A can be upgraded to a high performance
FAX as well giving the machine true multi- functionality. Since no competing colour
model has a fax option, this will be a strong selling point. CCR062A is the only
colour copier in the market that can replace BW MFP with fax capability.
Furthermore, this fax option allows both black and single colour output. Please note
that this fax option is not a full colour fax solution.
Super G3
Model CCR062A FAX is equipped with 33.6K bps. modem. Transmission of A4
paper takes just 3 seconds when sending to a super G3 FAX.
ISDN G4 (Option)
The ISDN option ensures fast and clear digital transmission. Three-second
transmission is possible in 200 x 200dpi mode.
JBIG
The 400dpi option, type 450 helps to send a clear image faster with JBIG
compression. It allows you to send documents with photos or small text faster
especially in detail mode (200x200dpi) or super fine mode (400 x 400dpi).
AI Protocol
Even when sending to a 14.4Kbps fax, you can still achieve 6-seconds transmission
speed regardless of the manufacturer. Moreover, if the other machine is a RICOH
manufactured fax, the AI protocol can further save time and money.
Parallel Memory Transmission
A conventional fax machine does not start initiating contact with the receiving
terminal until all of the documents are scanned and stored in the memory. The FAX
option for model CCR062A initiates contact with the receiving terminal while the
documents are being scanned. If the receiving terminal is busy, the fax unit
automatically switches from parallel memory transmission to regular memory
transmission.

High Productivity
Copy Speed
First copy speed of model CCR060A/CCR062A remains 8.0 sec, while the copy
resolution is raised to 600dpi. 1st copy speed is especially important for this type of
model, with which the customer will make small numbers of copies per original.

CCR060A/62A Product Information Guide
Print Speed
CCR060/62/68 lowered the engine speed during printing to realise 600dpi printing.
Model CCR060A/CCR062A offers 600dpi both in copying and printing, so the
productivity in printing has been significantly improved.

CCR060A/62A Product Information Guide
Useful Features
This is a useful tool for general office users who use the machine for both BW and FC
copying. As the new image rotation feature saves paper tray use (no need to set
A4/LT SEF paper), the user can set same size and same direction paper in multiple
trays. However, expensive colour copy paper can be put in one tray and ordinary copy
paper for BW copies / prints / fax can be put in a second tray
User Problem
We need high qua lity output in colour copying.
We dont like to use high cost colour copy paper for daily BW copying.
Solution
You can pre-assign any or all of the paper trays for Full Color Copy Mode,
and set colour copy paper in the assigned tray. The machine automatically
selects the assigned tray where colour copy paper is located whenever Full
Colour Copy Mode is selected.

*In Auto Colour Selection mode, the paper is fed from normal paper. This is
because paper is fed from paper tray before machine determines colour mode.
You can assign the paper tray for fax as well. For example, you can print fax
messages on yellow paper by setting it in the priority tray, so that you can identify fax
at a glance.

non-operation. CCR060/62/68 has this function, but some customers complain about
long recovery time. In Model CCR060A/CCR062A, user can select power
consumption and recovery period from 3 selections.
"Benefit"
Stable reproduction quality by making copies from same scan image
User can bring original back before copy job finish

(Source: CAP Ventures 2000)
Canon remains the dominant force in the colour workgroup environment taking 34%
market share in 1999. This is however, a decline over 1998 where Canon captured
38%. Each year Xerox gets closer and closer, in 1999 up to 23% followed by Ricoh
with 13%.
To conclude, in the colour copier market, the workgroup segment continues to show
strong growth expected to be further fuelled by newly introduced models offering new
speeds. Canon still leads, but it is questionable for how long.

The CCR132 enters energy saver mode automatically to decrease power consumption
after a certain period of non-operation. The CCR100/106 has this function, but some
customers complained about a long recovery time. With the CCR132, the user can
select the power consumption and recovery period from 3 different selections.
27
CCR132 Product Information Guide
Most customers select Text Mode for BW copying. However the CCR100/106 could
not pre-assign copy mode (e.g. text, photo or etc.) for BW copies. In the CCR132, you
can pre-assign Text Mode for BW Copies.
This feature enables customers to pre-select suitable types of paper. Many customers
change type of papers according to the output requirement. When output is Colo ur,
you would choose high quality paper for colo ur. When output is BW, you dont want
to choose high quality and high cost paper. In CCR132, you can pre-assign any or all
paper trays (includ ing the LCT) except Bypass tray in Full Colo ur Copy mode.
When you select ACS / Auto Colour Selection mode, this feature is not available,
because the paper is already fed from a certain paper tray before the CCR132 selects colour
mode automatically in ACS mode.

E-710 Product Information Guide
Executive Summary
The E-710 Fiery Print Controller is the new embedded controller for the colour copier
model CCR132. It is the replacement of the current E-700 and it is not compatible
with the CCR100/106 series.
The E-700 has been upgraded to be compatible with the CCR132 copier and the
model name has been changed to E-710.
The upgrade is related to the software release - and not to the hardware - so that most
of the specifications and features of the E-710 are the same as the current E-700.
It is also possible to convert the existing E-700 to the E-710, with a convert kit,
available as an option.

Printing Features
Postscript 3
Electronic Collation / Reverse Order Printing can be selected in the PPD for each job,
or can be set up as default in the server.
600dpi / 13 ppm
In both copier and printer mode, the CCR132 is 600dpi at 13ppm/cpm (FC)
51ppm/cpm (BW).
In addition, print resolution can be enhanced to 4800 x 600 dpi with Smoothing. This
can be achieved by setting Smoothing to ON in the PPD option.
Continuous Print
Because E-710 stores the entire document in RAM before it is sent to the copier, the
engine does not pause or cycle down to wait for the E-710 to finish processing the
data. This technology saves time and allows E-710 to drive the CCR132 at its highest
speed.
Rip-While-Print
This technology increases throughput by allowing E-710 to begin processing new
documents while the current document is printing. Rip-While-Print is not supported
with reverse order printing and electronic collation, which require processing of the
entire job before printing.
Colour Management
Calibration Methods
CMYK Simulation
5
E-710 Product Information Guide
RGB Separation
Simulates RGB data based on CMYK Simulation profile. In ColourWise 2.0 RGB
Separation allows RGB data to be converted first to an intermediate CMYK colo ur
space representing another printing device, then passes through the Simulation path
along with CMYK data. This feature is an important advance for Pre-Press/Graphics
environments where there is a strong desire to utilise RGB workflows. Enabled
only when CMYK Simulation is enabled.
Look-up tables on the E-710 are used to provide the most accurate simulation of
Named Colours for each output device. Initially, Pantone tables will be provided,
but the mechanism supports the existence of multiple tables for variously Named
Colour Systems.

The E-710 supports Printer Manager (e.g. Aficio Manager 3.5) for printing solution
utility. This enables E-710 to broadcast reports to agent software on the network
regarding the Fiery configuration and status. E-710 provides support for a variety of
MIBs over the UDP protocol and conforms to version 1 of SNMP.
Macintosh is not supported. For the basic feature of Printer Manager please refer to
the NPLI for Aficio Manager (Peripheral Manager V3.5).
Following are the limitations of using Printer Manager over E-710.

E-710 Product Information Guide
Sort/ Staple
If a user requests more than 20 sets of copies in Sort Mode, the bin max of 20-bin
sorter will be exceeded. The user is requested to resend any additional copies required
after removing the paper from the output bins.
If a print job exceeds the maximum bins capacity, which is approximately 20 pages
per bin for plain paper, the job will resume printing after the output bins are cleared.

E-710 Product Information Guide
E-710 offers two binding modes in duplex printing, Top Binding and Side Binding.
E-710 offers two binding modes in duplex printing, Top Binding and Side Binding.
In the PPD option, please select appropriate combination of paper size (LEF, SEF),
landscape/portrait, Rotation on/off, stapler mode, and Top Binding and Side Binding.
E-710 supports printing on a very wide format. The 11x17/ A3 full bleed print is
possible with 12x18 paper. Moreover, the 11x17 / A3 full bleed print with crop
mark is possible on 13x19 paper.
Blank paper can automatically be inserted between OHP transparencies when they are
printed out.
You can choose Transparency + Slip sheet as Media Type in the PPD option.
When the user sends a job with tray set to Auto Select and the tray runs out of paper
during printing, it automatically switches to another tray including LCT (but not by-
pass tray) with the same paper size/direction.

The CCR132 supports Thick/Extra Thick paper from 2nd and 3rd trays.
You can choose the media types in the PPD to print from 2nd and 3rd trays, as well as
bypass tray.
(When printing Thick/Extra Thick paper/Transparency from bypass tray, make sure
that the actual media type set in the bypass tray matches the media type selected in E-
710s properties dialog box to avoid paper jam etc.)
Fiery Utilities
There are some utilities that E-710 will not support, although E-800A supports them.
See Features NOT supported with E-710 below for such utilities.
Fiery Downloader
Fiery Scan
Supported applications
The Fiery Scan plug- in is supported for use with Adobe Photoshop ver4.0 or later.
Other Twain-compatible application for both Macintosh and Windows may work with
the Fiery Scan plug- in, but they will not be evaluated nor supported.
Scanning feature
Maximum scan resolution is 600 dpi with software compression. The Fiery Scan
reads the document from the copier-glass at 600 dpi but uses software compression
inside the Fiery depending on the combination of selected resolution, scanning size,
scan mode, and data type. Therefore, the maximum resolution is A3/Tabloid 600 dpi,
but it is software enhanced 600 dpi. User can adjust brightness to lighten or darken the
images. Threshold is supported only if Black and White is selected, to specify certain
level as threshold.
11
E-710 Product Information Guide
ARDF support
Scanning from ARDF is supported with limitations. E-710 will initially attempt to
scan a docume nt from the ARDF. If no document is present in the ARDF, E-710 will
scan from the Copier-glass.
After the user prescans and scans a page, whether from the ARDF or platen, the Fiery
Scan plug- in module closes to return the page to the application. To scan each
subsequent page, whether the next page of the ARDF job or a new job in the platen,
the user needs to reopen the Fiery Scan plug- in module to prescan and scan the page.
Fiery Link
The Fiery Link is a utility designed to give the user up-to-date status on printer jobs
and connected Fierys from their workstations. It tracks the status of each print job sent
by the user and alerts the user to any error reported by E-710. The Fiery Link includes
the following tools that can be used to monitor either a users print job or a connected
E-710.
Fiery Unidriver
Fiery Unidriver is a unified printing interface for use with Adobe PSDriver for
Windows 95/98. The collapsible bars in the Fiery Printing tab serve as a control
centre for all frequently used printing functions. By locating infrequently used
features in other tabs, Fiery Printing reduces the total number of tabs that are needed
in the driver and provides visual feedback to the users.
With E-710, colour setting is available from Unidriver. It can be selected by clicking
Expert Setting button in ColourWise.
12
E-710 Product Information Guide

E-710 Product Information Guide
Note 1: The software version of Command WorkStation for E-710 is different from
Command WorkStation for E-700. EFI states that the Command WorkStation should
be upward compatible, and therefore it should be possible to use this latest version for
both E-700 and E-710. However, due to the fact that EFI does not test the newer
version to the earlier EFI products, it is recommended to use the correct version for
each product.
Note 2: Thumbnail and DocBuilder function will not be supported nor functional,

SMR30dc Product Information Guide
Executive Summary
Overview
The SMR430dc is a new Colour Scanner, which can scan at up to 30ppm B/W and 10ppm Colour. It
is a direct replacement for the SC01 (24ppm B/W), which ceased production in December 2000 due
to EMC regulation changes.
The SMR430dc also comes with the option of a Network Interface Board to allow it to be connected
directly into a network. This is a significant change for NRG as previously launched Scanners have
all been B/W and not directly connectable to a network.
The other important feature about the SMR430dc is that it can form part of an integrated solution.
There are currently 3 main solutions available:
Marketing Objectives
To enter successfully the general office market that is currently dominated by Fujitsu
To replace the existing SC01 with a higher specification model
To provide a complete network solution to end users
To provide an opportunity for further sales of NRG products (both Hardware and Software) eg
Scan Router Professional v2 or Network Printers
To target successfully a growing niche in the market for a colour, networkable scanner
B/W Speed
B/W Speed 30ppm, Colour 10ppm
B/W Speed gives an average scanning volume of 4,000 pages per month or a maximum of
10,000 pages per month
Duplex Functionality
Duplex capability through the ARDF
Networkable
Allows electronic data to be shared on a network simply and efficiently
Scan to email from the mainframe over the network, allowing world-wide distribution of

Target Markets
With a B/W speed of 30ppm and a SRP of around $3500, the SMR430dc is placed in the Workgroup
segment of the scanner market. This segment includes any scanner with a speed of 20-36ppm and at a
cost of $2-6k. Key trends within this segment include:
During 1999, 15,258 workgroup scanners were shipped in Europe. Over the forecast period 1999
to 2004 the European market is expected to maintain a CAGR (Compound Average Annual
Growth Rate) of 26%
Colour machines are forecast to increase by 33% between 99-2004, with colour capability
overtaking B/W in 2001
During 1999, the largest markets, in terms of the percentage of total devices shipped, were
Germany (29.3%), the UK (26.2%), France (10.5%) and Italy (9.6%)
Across the entire scanner market, networked machines are forecast to rise at CAGR of 67%
Within the workgroup segment there are 2 different types of user who will use the machine in very
different ways:
1. SCSI Users These will be users looking for a B/W Scanner. They will generally use the machine
for archiving and document management. B/W speed is the most important aspect, with colour and
3
SMR30dc Product Information Guide
networking only secondary factors. These users will therefore be interested as much in the software
e.g. Docuware or Eyes and Hands Form Recognition as they are in the mainframe.
2. Network / Colour Users These will be users from the general office. These people will require
the Scanner for its network/colour functionality and will use it to distribute digital information around
the office. While the B/W speed may be important to them, it is the colour network functionality that
is key.
Sales Channels
The SMR30dc will be sold through both direct and indirect channels.
Sales Quantities
Although sales over the last 6 months have been slow, it is important to remember that many
operations (eg Benelux, UK, NRGI) have only recently launched scanners within their markets. The
other important factor is that many scanner sales come incrementally from software sales eg.
Docuware. Many operations are currently in the process of launching this software. Eyes and Hands
Forms Recognition will be launched in the next few months.

SMR30dc Product Information Guide
Product Overview
Product Concept
The SMR430dc is a new Colour Scanner, which can scan at up to 30ppm B/W and 10ppm Colour.
The product also has the option of a Network Interface Board to allow it to be connected directly into
a network. This is a significant change for NRG as previously launched Scanners have all been B/W
and were not directly connectable to a network.
The idea for this product is to have effectively 2 different versions. One version will be positioned as
a SCSI B/W Scanner with Colour Capability (replacing the SC01), while the other will be a Network
Scanner for shared workgroups.
5
SMR30dc Product Information Guide
Quality
The SMR430dc offers high image quality with real 600dpi optical resolution and a colour depth of
36-bit input. The maximum output resolution is 2400dpi.
With the optional NIB, the SMR430dc offers an input solution for shared workgroup devices running
under a network environment. Once the image has been captured, the Cherry (Scan Router V2)
software then allows the distribution of stored scanned images across the network to the workstation
or a shared server. The system also includes compression technology to avoid network performance
problems.

Duplex Scanning
A built- in 50-page ARDF (Auto Reverse Duplex Feeder) delivers inexpensive duplex scanning.
Paper is fed and turned mechanically through the ARDF therefore only one CCD is required for
duplex scanning (a second, expensive CCD, is not required).
Ease-of-Use
The SC430dc has been designed with the general office worker in mind and is therefore very easy to
use. Features include:
Friendly easy to understand TWAIN and ISIS Driver (both TWAIN and ISIS operate under Win
95, 98, ME, NT4.0 and 2000)
Simple design of operation panel (One button push to Scan to e- mail)
Easy manual scanning with a start key function. This allows manual scanning at the push of a
button
Auto Size Detection through both ARDF and in Book mode
The optional Network I/F board, allows the SC430dc to connect to a network. This means that the
7
SMR30dc Product Information Guide
The IEEE1394 I/F board offers high-speed data transfer for users who require a higher speed data
transfer than SCSI (this interface only complies with Win 2000 and Win Millennium Edition).
In addition to these options, there is an internal slot to allow for a third party vendors video card.
Configuration
The image processing unit is shared with the SC450 and SC450d. Functionality is therefore exactly
the same as with these older models.

3. Optional Memory
8
SMR30dc Product Information Guide
There are 3 optional memory upgrades available for the SC430dc: 32MB, 64MB and 128MB
Features of memory
1. When the SC430dc is connected under a network environment and used as a distribution scanner,
scanning can be performed without any initial slow down. In a standard case, up to 3 pages can be
scanned without slowing, however, from the 4th page, scanning speed is lowered.
(The data volume of A3/200dpi/full colo ur is approximate 22MB and it is compressed with JPEG up
to 2.2MB)
If 128MB memory is mounted, up to 60 pages of documents can be scanned without slow down.
2. When large size of data that is over the capacity of SAF (8MB), scanning operation can be
performed without incremental time (When Network TWAIN driver is used or the SMR430dc is
used as Distrib ution scanner).
(The data volume of A3/400dpi/full colo ur is approximate 88MB and it is compressed with JPEG up
to 8.8MB)
In standard case, an incremental image is produced. However, if 128MB memory is added, A3/
600dpi/ full colour data can be scanned without incremental time.
1. After an image has been scanned by the SC430dc, the image data is stored in the frame memory
of controller board through the APIP I/F.
SC430dc -> Frame memory (16MB) -> SAF (8MB) -> Shared memory with NIC (8MB)
2. The stored image data that is stored in frame memory is compressed and stored in SAF. SAF can
store multiple numbers of images.
SC430dc -> Frame memory (16MB) -> SAF (8MB) -> Shared memory with NIC (8MB)
3. The stored image in SAF is transfe rred to Shared memory with NIC and then sent to the PC
through FTP.
SC430dc -> Frame memory (16MB) -> SAF (8MB) -> Shared memory with NIC (8MB)
The optional memories (DIMM) are used to increase the memory capacity of SAF (8MB).

The SC430dc should be targeted at 2 different types of user. Within these user groups there is then
specific vertical markets to allow further targeting:
1. SCSI Users These will be users looking for a B/W Scanner. They will generally use the machine
for archiving and document management. B/W speed is the most important aspect, with colour
and networking capability only secondary factors. Vertical markets here would be similar to the
SC01 eg Market Research Firms, Distribution Centres, Mail Rooms and Recruitment Consultants
2. Network / Colour Users These will be users from the general office. These people will require
the Scanner for its network/colour functionality and will use it to distribute digital information
around the office. Besides the general office users, possible vertical markets for this proposition
would be Advertising Agencies, Architects and Design Companies
Distribution Channels
The SC430dc will be sold through both the direct and indirect channel.

A040/41 Product Information Guide
Executive Summary
Our current low-end Wide Format (A0) copiers, CMRA08A & B, will be discontinued after May
2001 production and replaced by two new versions A040 and A041.
Background
Wide Format Copiers are sold by the Group in most markets. Germany, Benelux, Spain, Italy, Ireland
and Austria treat it as a low-priority product range, selling the machine directly or through dealers
(50:50). UK and Rex France sell units when demanded by their clients. For NRG-I, Wide Format is
a strategically important product, especially in Russia and the Middle East.
Sales have risen over 3 years to reach almost 600 units in 2000 (actual expected). This is about 40 %
of Ricohs European business. Together, Ricoh & NRG have a 20% Market Share in Europe,
although this share varies widely from the mean in countries such as Spain (MS=50%) and Austria
(MS=4%). Competition comes from Oc (50%), Xerox Engineering Systems (10%) and KIP (10%).
Most units are sold by specialist engineering sales people.
The current models have proven to be cheap and reliable machines and are positioned at the bottom
end of the market. They are particularly popular for their Price, Image Quality and Office- and
User- friendliness. This is more and more important as inexperienced, non-specialists become the
typical user.
It is now intended to upgrade the models with a step up into the mid-range of wide format, a 2-roll
option, where CMRA07 is an expensive but best-selling model. We will therefore have the cheapest
copier, the cheapest multi-copier, the cheapest 2-roll copier and the best mid-range copier.
To continue to increase NRGs market share, targeting those countries where NRG/REBV
total is below 10%, by offering more competitive models
To maintain the total number of units sold in a declining market, by increasing the range
of customers willing to buy our range with the introduction of a low-cost 2-roll option.

A040/41 Product Information Guide
Product Overview
A040
The A040 is functionally the same as the current CMRA08A which it replaces directly, with the
additional feature of the 2 roll- feeder option. It has the following options available:
Two Roll Feeder
One Roll Feeder
Table (for no roll feeder)
Roll Cutting Rail
Side Guides
The roll feeders incorporate the table, unlike the predecessor models which required the table to be
bought separately.
New features include the increased engine speed from 3 to 3.6 m/min; the flange-type paper setting,
making it even easier to change paper; and the faster warm- up & first copy time.
A041
The A041 is similar to the A040, but has the following differences:
Face down original setting
Full Auto Synchro-cut
Multiple copy 1- 10 A0
The table and the roll cutting rail are not available options. A041 must be configured with a
roll- feeder which has a built in table.
New features include the increased engine speed from 3 to 3.6 m/min; the flange-type paper setting,
making it even easier to change paper; and the faster warm- up & first copy time.

As we launch these two new models into this market we therefore have to adopt a prudent approach.
It is true that the above trends are for Europe, and the US and rest of the world markets do not show
the first trend at all. However, any action by NRG will be affected in Europe by these trends.
NRG-Is main markets have shown volatility but also the prospect of growth.

Oc
Oc, with its European manufacturing base, is the key player in the European wide format market.
Oc has a market share of about 50 % in the analogue market, partly as a result of having the largest
MIF of Diazo machines. Oc has not updated its product range for many years, but has maintained its
competitiveness through price and options; effectively, Ricoh have been catching up, and now are
preparing to challenge the highest-spec Oc model 7056 with its 2 Roll Feeder option.
Xerox
Xerox has a range of updated models based on the older and environmentally less friendly Selenium
drum technology, which also suffers from poorer copy quality than the more modern organic photo
conductor units. Altho ugh it has the oldest product range, they also have the widest product range of
any of the 4 major manufacturers. Xerox sales are in decline and has dropped from about equal
second with 20 % MS to perhaps as little as 10 %.
Ricoh
Ricoh, although a leader in the Japanese market, has only a limited range in the European market, and
NRG currently takes the full Ricoh range of analogue products. Currently it takes about 20 % of the
European market.
Kip
Kip is the fourth manufacturer, with a 10 % market share. Kip is the European brand for Katsuragawa
Electric Co Ltd. In the US they have been sold as Shacoh, although this company and its brand have
been bought out by Kip. Shacoh also distributed Kip in Europe, but they have been bought out by
management and now call the mselves Europoint. With a strong focus on the solution, and a very
wide range of product from many manufacturers, the Kip channel has grown over the past few years,
at the expense of the box-moving badgers like Regma, Ozalid and Neolt.
Mita
Mita sells mainly in Germany under its own brand and that of Utax, as well as other Germany-only
distributors like Sihl. In the rest of Europe it does not have a strong channel to distribute product. As
Germany is the largest market in Europe, this gives Mita a disproportionately large market share.

Kip Ricoh Xerox Oce Mita
As one of only 5 major manufacturers, Ricoh intends to continue to grow market share at the expense
of the major MIF holder Oc and weaker companies such as XES. Ricohs strong analogue range
partly explains its market share in this area; its absence in the digital market encourages focus on the
analogue products, and explains its 0% digital share, though this will soon change with the launch of
the DMRA07 digital AO model. (Both Xerox and Mita market shares are suspect, but the indication
from Infosource is that they are in the right area)

A040/41 Product Information Guide
Channels
Although both Oc and Xerox employ a large direct specialist sales force, both they and their
competitors mainly sell analogue copiers through a large specialist dealer network, which adds local
or applications support. A good example of how manufacturer support is provided is from the
following recruitment advertisement from Oc UK.
This role is required within the Wide Format Printing Systems (WFPS) Division of
Oc (UK) Limited, to build strategic partnerships within a complex market that has
complex selling cycles. This position will introduce "added value" to the sales process
by facilitating a consultancy service, which will enable a solution sell. The key focus
will be to provide high level support to the Account Managers and Regional Managers
within Oc WFPS and to utilise new technology to exploit information management.
Areas of expertise will include:
Document Flow Analysis
Network Needs Analysis
Document Conversion Analysis
Solution Design incorporating third party products
Ideally you will have a complete understanding of the WFPS market, also you will
need to have a good understanding of business and information distribution processes,
full IT literacy is a pre-requisite for this position.
Your personal qualities will include: high communication skills at all levels, good
co-ordination / organisational skills and the ability to work under pressure to tight
deadlines whilst balancing the needs of several stakeholders.
The advertisement stresses the added value of a consultancy approach needed to succeed in this
business, as well as the business knowledge to understand both the customers document flow and the
technological process of document conversion.

The Opportunity
While most Operations take wide format business as an add-on, some have been lucky to find suitable
channels to push large numbers of units. Spain and Ireland, with a limited effort, have achieved
considerable market presence. In Spain, NRG & Ricoh now have a market share of over 50 %.
Other Operations should take these targets as achievable, given the weakness of Xerox and Kip
distribution channels and the weakness of the Oc analogue product range.

CMRA08A
The addition to our range of a 2 Roll Feeder option, will enable us to increase our sales at the expense
of Oc and Kip, because up to now we have had to offer the expensive CMRA07 whenever there has
been a 2 roll requirement. Now, we can offer a choice of the higher volume CMRA07, or the cheaper
A041. Oc and Kip can only offer one or the other. Even Xerox should suffer, as the 3040 should be
more expensive.

A040/41 Product Information Guide
Target Customer
Document Volumes
The volume of paper/film can be anything from 100 copies per month to about 1000 copies per month
for regular users signing a 3-5 year contract. Special projects may require a high volume over a
relatively short period, for example, up to 10,000 copies made over 3 months. Higher volumes than
this would typically require more than one machine or a faster/higher volume model such as
CMRA07.
Document Types
(Although modern large documents are typically (re)produced on robust paper, older types of
documents can be flimsy, fragile, damaged and often changed by paste-ups which make copying
harder.)
Industry Types
In the creation of large documents, for the design areas of many industries, such as:
Engineering automotive, aerospace, oil & gas, plant (process & production factory),
Construction civil engineers, architects, contractors, labourers
Housing architects, designers, decorators, landscape gardeners, housing associations
Utilities supply electricity, water, gas, oil
Government land registries, utility management, town planning
Copy & Print shops supplying services to the above
Libraries company, private & public storing these records, typically for over 100 years

Special Cases
There may be special cases where a company specialising in document archiving or scanning wishes
to make a good quality copy of a large library of drawings. CMRA040 would be ideal for this type of
project. Or, in a war/disaster zone, the need to make multiple copies of maps, utility services,
construction drawings etc, may be present. The CMRA041 would also be ideal for a project such as
this.
13
A040/41 Product Information Guide
Copy Quality
Although often used, here the A040/A041 are really the best toner copiers on the market. Copy
Quality is a major concern in the engineering market, where engineering drawings are often drawn to
scale. The major issue for all toner or ink based copiers is the fact that Diazo, for all its faults,
produces the best quality copy of any copying technology.
Shrinking of paper over time (many drawings are kept for 100 years or more)
Shrinking of copy paper especially when being fused
Changes in copies over a long run, caused by changes to the original, toner run out
Fading of ink drawings over time
Fading of diazo copies over time
Reproduction of diazo greyscales
Smudging of ink-based drawings when handled or used in the rain/damp
The need to copy with an increased margin on the leading and/or trailing edge to allow for
binding, folding, labeling etc
A040 & A041 achieve consistent, high copy quality on the widest copy media range on the market, by
a combination of engine design items, which cannot be easily copied by our competitors:
Organic PhotoConductor
A0 Wide Toner Cartridge distribution system
Mid-temperature with Pressure Fusing
Black Toner
Glass Contact Sensor
OPC Drum
A major competitor, Xerox, still uses Selenium drum technology for its wide format analogue
copiers, a reflection of the age of the engine as well as its environmental unfriendliness. The key
quality result of using such old technology is the loss of detail, especially for fine lines and halftones,
which are almost impossible to reproduce. A040/A041 uses the most advanced drum on the market,
organic photoconductor. Image Density control of 14 steps gives this system the widest user control
on the market. Partial copy function can be used to ensure that the best selection is made before
making a copy of the whole original.
14
A040/41 Product Information Guide
Toner
Oc has developed a rapid fusing system, which is also used in other Oc machines, and similar
technology is used by Canon in office copiers. One characteristic of these systems is the grey
quality of the toner once deposited. This has the effect of making further copies even greyer, with a
consequent reduction in accuracy.
Toner Cartridge
Oc supply the toner in a bottle, which is placed at one end of the machine. The toner then runs along
the entire length of the drum. On long copy runs, the toner may struggle to reach the far end of an A0
copy and so later copies may have less toner on one side than the early copies.
A040 and A041 have A0 long toner cartridges, which are not only cleaner to use toner always
remains sealed but also ensure that toner is always available across the length of the copy.
Fusing
The ideal fusing should combine low heat with low pressure to ensure that the copy paper does not
stretch nor shrink, together with high temperature and high pressure to make sure that the toner is
firmly welded to the paper.
Oc tries to compromise with a very hot fuser system (the Toast Rack), and no pressure at all. The
result is that any paper jams in the fuser section lead to a small fire (the fragility of the Ocs insides
makes this much more likely than with a roller type fuser in the NRG models). All Oc digital copiers
(which copy more than twice as fast) come with a fire extinguisher for these emergencies. Even with
this system, the grey toner does not bond with the paper and is easily scratched off.
Xerox combines high pressure with low temperature, but does not make up for the basic engine
problems mentioned above.
A040 and A041 have a heat and pressure system which is a better compromise than the Oc system,
and is supported by much better optics, drum and toner than Xerox provide. The fusing can also be
controlled by the user, allowing selection to be made depending on the copy paper type. This means
that NRG copiers can also handle much wider paper weight and film thickness ranges than other
machines.
Contact Sensor
The contact sensor (scanner) of the Oc models is made of plastic, and as originals are frequently
pasted up, or dusty, this can be easily scratched. Once scratched, this will affect copy quality. NRG
copiers have contact sensors made of glass which will withstand much rougher treatment than plastic.
15
A040/41 Product Information Guide
Ease of Use
Again, this term is much used, and again in the case of A040 and A041 this is absolutely true. If the
problems with Diazo are that an experienced hand is required to get the best quality, toner copiers
should provide a suitable alternative for normal, office staff.
Face Up Feeding
For Wide Format users, there is often a requirement to copy part of a drawing; it is much easier to
select the required part if the original is actually visible. The user of A040 can feed the original in as
far as the starting point, and then start the copy, and complete the copy as soon as it has reached the
desired end point. Users of all other copiers can select the start point with only a little more trouble,
but once started the desired end will be almost impossible to control as it passes on the underside.
Side Guides
The optional side guides help users to align the original in the centre of the copy roll. Amazingly,
this option is not available on other manufacturers copiers making it very difficult to feed large
pieces of paper centrally. Expert users typically find them a distraction. A040 has optiona l side
guides for original feeding and copy paper feeding. A041, with its requirement for a roll feeder, does
not require copy paper feeder guides, but has as standard original feeder guides. Side guides can be
bought for A041 as an option for the manual bypass feeding of copy paper.
Current wide format feeders require that the paper roll is threaded onto a metal pole, and centered by
eye. This can result in mis-registration. The A040 and A041 have a revolutionary flange-type
mechanism that simplifies the changing of rolls, and allows inexperienced users to change rolls easily
and to have multiple rolls, even with only 1 feeder.
First-time users will take more time than experienced ones to align a large original before starting to
copy. Automatic original feeding is necessary, especially for those making many copies. However,
Oc models only have a manual feed button and take the original as soon as this button is pressed,
while the user has only one hand on the original skews are the natural result with large originals.
Previous NRG wide format models had a variable delay after setting the original, but obviously if
there were many users this would only be optimised to one user. Now, the automatic feeding on the
A041 can be changed to manual feeding, so that any user can be confident that the original can be
placed in their own time.
16
A040/41 Product Information Guide
Productivity
Although Xerox, Oc and Kip all sell copiers with engine speeds around 3-4 m/min, tests have shown
that NRGs copiers will outperform similar engine speed machines. This is partly due to the ease of
setting the originals, and partly due to the faster return of the machine to ready after a copy and partly
due to the much faster first copy time.
Even before the 20 % increase in speed with the A040 and A041, both predecessor models could
easily beat the market benchmark 7056 in real productivity tests.
The A041 is functionally similar to the A040 but there are a number of differences. The A041 allows
up to 9 copies to be made from an original (this number can be increased by service intervention, but
is normally left at this level because of the danger if large originals are left to feed on their own.
The differences with side guides has already been mentioned above, making the A041 more suitable
for regular users.
The biggest difference is in the feeding the A040 is face up, and therefore the best for first-time
users, or those who regularly do partial copying.
17
A040/41 Product Information Guide
Office Friendliness
More and more wide format machines are installed in normal office environments, close to staff,
users, customers and buyers. Copyshops are typically office working environments and do not want
the environmental hazards of diazo machines near workers who are co- located for a full working day.
Office Friendly
User Friendly
A040 and A041 are the smallest, quietest copiers on the market. However, they are also friendly to
users in other ways.
When it is time to change toner, the cartridge system ensures that users never come into contact
with the toner.
In an emergency (for example, a mis- feed) the Emergency Stop button is easily found on the
Operation Panel, stopping the feeds immediately.
Any mis-feeds are easily cleared from the clamshell and rotating drum system, unlike the Oc
models, which also require clearing of the dangerously hot toast rack fuser system or the
Xerox.
Inexperienced hands can also be reluctant to open up the fragile Oc models, but A040 and
A041 are simple and robust.
Setting new paper rolls, or changing from one roll to another is also made easier with the new
flange type system.
A roll can weigh anything up to 26 lb/12 kg; with a A040/41, the user simply lifts out and
drops in the new roll - with competitive models the user has to crouch down and place the roll
Environment Friendly
The drum is of the environmentally- friendly organic type; Xerox still uses selenium drums. The toner
comes in a cartridge, making it much easier to dispose of cleanly than the bottle type Oc. Both
models are Energy Star rated and have a selectable Energy Saver mode. All plastic parts are marked
for recycling.

ScanRouter V2 Professional Product Information Guide
Previous Model Comparison Detail
1. Change to the Administration Utility
In ScanRouter V2 Professional, both administration and maintenance of the system can be carried
out in one Administration Utility Window. The left side of the Window displays a Delivery Info
Table, which contains information such as:
Destination
Sender
Undelivered Data In-Tray
Various log- in tree views
On the right side of the Window, the same information can also be seen (see screen shots for
details).
Since you can handle every movement in a single Window, it is much easier to operate than the
ScanRouter Professional Administration Utility.
In a normal installation, the administration utility will be installed automatically with the rest of
ScanRouter V2 Professional. It is possible, however, to install the administration utility to another
PC and to manage the delivery server remotely (For details see Settings in Administration Utility
later in this section of the PIG).
14
ScanRouter V2 Professional Product Information Guide
15
ScanRouter V2 Professional Product Information Guide
2. Two Types of Address Book
ScanRouter Professional had only one address book, which included information on both the
destination and the sender. In ScanRouter V2 Professional, there are two types of address book (a
destination book and a sender book) both displayed in the Administration Utility.
16
ScanRouter V2 Professional Product Information Guide
Multiple Selection of Delivery Types
ScanRouter V2 Professional, allows you to select multiple delivery types at Delivery type settings
Adjusts the top and the bottom of the distributed document automatically. This handling will be
effective to all delivery methods.
This handling extracts words from the scanned document and reflects them in the document name
of the distributed document. When this is not selected at [Additional Handling], the document name
will be the name, which the device has attached. Extract words for file name will be effective to
In-tray save , Send by SMTP mail and Send by MAPI mail.
Note: Extract words for file name cannot be adapted to all documents as it depends on the type
of document.
Delivery Types
Scanned images and incoming faxes are sent to the delivery server through the network. The image
data is then delivered as one or more of the following types:
1. In-tray save
2. Mail delivery (Scan to e-mail)
3. Mail notification
4. Save as Windows file (Scan to file)
You can set more than one delivery type to a single destination or set one delivery type multiple
times (on the same destination or multiple destinations). However, the In-tray can only have one
delivery type set at a time.
17

Delivery Process
When the user name is listed in the destination list, an In-tray save is
carried out automatically. The image format is not changeable from the
scanned image.

Incoming Fax Image Delivery
Fax Reception
The way of sending a fax received data image to the Delivery Server is different depending on the
type of machine.
There are 2 methods of specifying the delivery destinations for documents received by fax - using a
fax delivery ID or a TSI code.
In this method a sender specifies a desired destination when sending a fax. To deliver a fax using
this method, a fax delivery ID needs to be assigned and registered within each user and group
destination on the delivery system (in advance). The ID is then to be specified by the sender when a
fax is sent.
This is a method of delivering documents received by fax using the TSI of a facsimile at the sending
point. The TSI must be registered and the desired destinations must be assigned in advance.
Documents faxed with TSI will always be delivered to the assigned destinations for the TSI. Once
the delivery server receives a faxed document, a fax TSI will be registered to the TSI table in the
delivery system.

Product Concept
ScanRouter V2 Lite is the successor to ScanRouter Lite. As with the previous version it is based on
the concept of scan, convert, and deliver - paper-to-electronic document conversion &
distribution The software is not available for purchase and is bundled with a number of NIC
options (eg SC430dc) for NRG machines.
The purpose of this PIG is to outline the features of this software. For a more detailed overview of
the software please refer to the PIG for ScanRouter V2 Professional.
This PIG has not been split into sections, as much of the information is not suitable for the usual
format.
Product Name
Within ScanRouter V2 Lite there are a number of utilities that have specific functions. These are as
follows:

SmartNetMonitor Product Information Guide
Executive Summary
The problem with Aficio Manager was that it could only obtain information from the Printer
function of the MFP, while many users wanted to obtain information on the entire MFP (Copier,
Fax, Printer and Scanner) and not only from the Printer portion.
SmartNetMonitor will therefore provide the following benefits to users of NRG products:
Marketing Objectives
SmartNetMonitor can retrieve total counts of all MFP functions; Copy, Fax, Printer and
Scanner (Aficio Manager can only retrieve the total counts of the Printer function)
2. Encourage Users to use NRG products
Easy Operation
Easy Monitoring
2
SmartNetMonitor Product Information Guide
Product Overview
The major differences between the new version and the Admin and Client modules of
SmartNetMonitor when compared with Aficio Manager are as follows:
Admin Module
This module is to designed to allow Network Administrators to manage all NRG MFPs, LPs,
Faxes and Scanners with both a Ricoh NIC and other Vendors NIC located in the network (LAN
segment).
Client Module
This module is a combination of three current modules; Aficio Manager for Client, PortNavi
and MultiDirectPrint (MDP3).
The module is designed to let users monitor all NRG products that contain either a Ricoh NIC
or another vendors NIC that is located in the network (LAN segment). The module is also
designed to allow the quick installation of all 3 modules at once rather than installing them on
an individual basis.
The module also enable s the user to send print jobs directly to Printer (or MFP), separate jobs
(Parallel Printing) and send jobs to another Printer (or MFP) reduc ing downtime (Recovery
Printing).
3
SmartNetMonitor Product Information Guide
In addition to being able to monitor the total MFP (Copier, LP, Fax, Colour, Scanner),
SmartNetMonitor offers the following key benefits compared to the previous version of Aficio
Manager:
The ability to monitor the status of Toner and the Document Server* (Common to both
SmartNetMonitor for Admin and Client )
Note: Functions marked with an asterisk (*) are only available with GW-supported machines.

SmartNetMonitor Product Information Guide
Market Overview
The biggest advantage against our competitors is the capability of SmartNetMonitor to monitor
the entire system. Many competitor software solutions do not have this functionality:
HP WebJet Admin
Xerox - CenterWare
Lexmark - MarkVision
Canon - Net Spot
While the solutions above are capable of monitoring Printers, they cannot monitor devices such
as MFPs and Scanners.
SmartNetMonitor is also a comparatively light system for an administrator to install onto the
server:

SmartNetMonitor Product Information Guide
The NST is designed to make the configuration of Network Interface Card (NIC) easier. The
principal functions of this utility are summarised below:
The NST is installed automatically when SmartNetMonitor for Admin is installed. It can be
booted in 2 different ways:
Multiple copies of NST can be executed at the same time. The number of devices is not
restricted and depends on PCs resources (for a list of supported NIBs please see Appendix 1).

SmartNetMonitor Product Information Guide
Brings up the Configuration: General page of the devices built- in web server
(WebStatusMonitor).
This enables users to activate or deactivate access to the Operational Panel of the device
remotely, so that users cannot use the device freely.
This function is designed to allow administrators to give access only to those who are permitted
to use a device in a particular workgroup (eg for Colo ur Copiers which administrators may not
wish to be used by everybody because of the copy / print cost). This function is only available
on GW-products.
The selected device must be configured for TCP/IP communication. Devices found in a
IPX/SPX local network can also be configured.
Note: Password of NIC / NIB is required before entering this page. Default password is
password. Passwords can be changed through built-in web server (WebStatusMonitor). No
user name is required.
22
SmartNetMonitor Product Information Guide
Brings up the Configuration: Paper Type page of the devices built- in web server
(WebStatusMonitor).
Enables users to change the types of paper on each tray of the selected device remotely. The
user therefore no longer has to set Paper Settings from the Operation Panel of the device. This
function is only available on GW-products.
Manages the user codes and access restriction settings of the selected device.
In the previous versions of Aficio Manager, the Admin module displayed Job Statistics
information, which was retrieved from each machine. This was limited to the Printer function
only. Since SmartNetMonitor for Admin is designed to retrieve information from every
function of a GW-product, a new independent tool has been produced. This tool is used for the
storage and management of these Job Statistics as well as to manage the access restriction
settings of the selected device remotely. The tool is called User Code Maintenance Tool.
Monitors accumulated counts of Copier, FAX (FAX sent) and Printer on one screen (Job
Statistics).
23
SmartNetMonitor Product Information Guide
Programme or control each users access rights to each function of the machine such as
copy, fax, print, scan and document server.
Hardware requirements
To use all the functions of the User Code Maintenance Tool, the device must be a
GW-product. See Appendix 1 for details.
PC requirements
The client PC (as well as Server) must have Microsoft TCP/IP protocol installed and configured.
The target machine must also have TCP/IP protocol correctly configured. Only one client host
can have access to a target device for the User Code Maintenance Tool at a time(Although,
multiple client PCs can access the same device at the same time).
Notes:
Default password is password
As this password is also the password of NIC / NIB, passwords can be changed through the
built-in web server (WebStatusMonitor).

28
SmartNetMonitor Product Information Guide
Conclusion
The Page count difference is caused by the different ways in which printer drivers send print
jobs to devices. Normally all printer drivers count per page but, whenever there are settings
which combine several pages into one (2 in 1 function), drivers count them as one page.
Therefore, the results indicate that RPCS Drivers count pages more accurately than current PCL
and PS Drivers. This is because RPCS Drivers do not count blank pages, while the current PCL
and PS Drivers do count blank pages.
There is also a clear difference between the Printer Counter and Engine (Total) Counter. While
the Printer Counter count s the pages driven from the Printer Driver, the Engine (Total) Counter
counts the actual pages that are printed out from the device.

Please note that this product will not support most EFI products. SmartNetMonitor (as with
Aficio Manager 3.5) only supports EFI products from and after E-800A (PS-B).
SmartNetMonitor is able to retrieve status information from competitive products such as HP,
Lexmark, etc. based on their standard MIB portion (No access to their private portion).
Note: Ricoh cannot guarantee the status information of SmartNetMonitor retrieved from
competitive products (RICOH-OEM products are excluded, they are treated in the same way as
RICOH products.)
As SmartNetMonitor (as well as the previous Aficio Manager 3.5) is resident software, it is
necessary to explain whether SmartNetMonitor affects the local resources of the Client (as well
as the Admins) PC.
Testing conditions
Testing results
The Network Load of SmartNetMonitor only increased 1% during the test (Default setting of
monitoring was set at every 10sec. for each target device(s))
55

PCSM Product Information Guide
Introduction
Printing costs are much higher than many companies realise. Web printing, the proliferation of
colour printing and unrestricted access to network printers are all factors that are causing a rapid
growth of printing costs. Hardcopy cost management software is designed to help managers and
administrators control printing and copying costs by regulating and reducing hardcopy
volumes, especially on high-cost printers. By implementing such a system, an organisation can
easily save 15 to 20% of hardcopy costs.
Printer Cost & Security Manager (PCSM) is an advanced network print tracking solution that
enables users to monitor, measure and manage all network printing and copying activity.
simplifies the management of printers and both digital and analogue copiers;
offers flexible methods to charge printing costs incurred by users and
offers a powerful solution for hardcopy Total Cost of Ownership management by tracking
usage patterns, collecting copier data, and helping to identify the costs associated with
printer and copier management.
PCSM 2.5 is an important product in the Network Printing Control & Management Solutions
range we offer. It fits seamlessly in NRGs strategy to offer our customers a total solution for all
their document needs. It allows them to measure, manage, allocate and charge output costs
related to our (networked) output devices. Additionally, PCSM can be used as a consultancy
tool to help customers design their optimal output strategy, maximising the utilisation of their
network printing resources.
Objectives
The objectives for launching Printer Cost & Security Manager 2.5 are:
To increase the number of (connected) NRG network printing devices installed in the
market;
To complement NRGs offering in the network printing range with a solution for output
cost management by facilitating control over network printing costs and loads, facilitating
control over copying costs and loads and offering a Total Cost of Ownership model for
network printing and copying;
To complement NRGs offering in vertical markets with a solution that fulfils a requirement
in those segment, where needed using specific additional functionality like Client Billing,
Secure Printing and/or Credit Printing and
Promote a consultative selling approach to increase connected Aficio product sales by
providing sales people with a powerful and professional consultancy selling tool.

PCSM Product Information Guide
Product Overview
Introduction
Because networks often consist of a diverse collection of legacy hardware and software, it is
difficult to find an effective way of tracking and recovering print resource costs.
Printer Cost & Security Manager (PCSM) 2.5 helps customers audit and manage the cost of
networked resources by tracking printer usage on an individual or group basis. Also it provides
the infrastructure on which customers can build a secure environment for managing sensitive
documents.
Any automated accounting system must be able to identify consumers, measure resource use,
calculate costs and record transactions at the time of sale. A good accounting system will also
provide customers with an audit trail that classifies and summarises data in a way that meets the
information needs of their decision makers. PCSM 2.5 performs these tasks, and more.
Printer Cost & Security Manager can accommodate a number of accounting models, including
strategies for quota and charge-back cost-recovery. Its administrator and end-user features are
designed for flexibility and ease-of-use.
Because PCSM fully integrates with the Windows printing subsystem, it provides a secure
environment for network printing. It monitors all use of networked resources, prevents
unauthorised users from accessing them and restricts use to administrator-defined limits.
Printer Cost & Security Manager 2.5 is a network printing management product that manages
hardcopy Total Cost of Ownership in multi- vendor and multi-platform printing environments.
The attributes it manages are hardcopy costs of network printing, desktop printing, walk-up
copying and stand-alone copying.
PCSM is a server-based modular application running on a Windows NT/2000 server, while also
supporting other network environments, like NetWare and Unix. As an application, PCSM is
very robust and scalable, ranging from a small installation consisting of a single print-server
and few network printers to large installations with tens of multi-platform print servers,
hundreds of network printers and thousands of users.
The core components of PCSM (the Accounting Server service and the SoftwareMetrics print
3
PCSM Product Information Guide
monitor) are installed on the Windows NT/Windows 2000 server. The accounts database must
be located on the accounting server.
The Accounting Server is a service that verifies users, calculates printing charges and
assigns those charges to an appropriate user or group account. Accounting Server calculates
charges using page count and job attribute information received form the print monitor,
along with printer cost defined by the administrator. It then updates account balances and
writes the transaction information to the accounts database.
There is one database for each Accounting Server service. The database stores all printer,
user, departme nt, billing code, transaction and balance information. The database can be
either a JET, SQL Server or Oracle database, although only the JET-database comes as a
standard with the package. The Accounts Manager application is used to modify account
and transaction information in the database. This subset of the larger database is referred to
as the accounts database.
The Software Metric Print Monitor manages communications with the physical printing
devices on the network. It prevents unauthorised users from accessing the printers without
paying for their use. In addition, the print monitor counts the number of pages in each print
job, and assesses job attributes, such as colour, page, size, so that this detailed information
can be sent back to the Accounting Server service. At the accounting server, accurate
printing charges are calculated from this data and charges are assigned to the proper
account.

PCSM Product Information Guide
The SoftwareMetrics Print Monitor performs the measuring function. It communicates with
the attached printers to determine the size and attributes of each print job, then passes this
information back to the Accounting Server. Because the SoftwareMetrics print monitor is
fully integrated with the Windows printing environment, the result is high-accuracy page
counts and high printing throughput on the network.
The Accounting Server works with the print monitor to track the use of the defined network
printers. When a print request is received, the print monitor checks with the Accounting
Server to ensure that the user who sent the request has a valid printing account. Accounting
Server, in turn, checks the accounts database for the administrator-defined list of users with
valid printing accounts. Once the job has completed printing, Accounting Server records
use in the accounts database.
All PCSM Accounting Server components work together to help customers managing their
print costs. PCSM can be set up to conform to a number of accounting models. By setting
up printing accounts for users and groups and assigning to printers, customers can recover
resources based on printer use.
Besides the server components, PCSM provides applications for managing network printing.
Two of these applications, System Manager and Accounts Manager, can be installed on any
server or workstation on your network. Cashier is designed for use on a workstation with
restricted access.
The System Manager is a tool for configuring and managing the PCSM Accounting Server
components and SoftwareMetrics Print Monitor.
System Manager has an interface similar to Windows Explorer, with expandable and
collapsible menus.
While it is used mainly to configure system components (like printer registrations, printer
port configurations, selecting page count methods and licensing), System Manager also
allows customers to:
o Assign costs to individual printers;
o Create and assign printer charging schedules;
o Select special no-charge and no-limit status for groups;
o Customise user notification messages and pop-ups and
o View event messages from the accounting server and the print monitor.
The Accounts Manager is a tool that allows customers to manage users, department, and
billing code accounts in the accounts database, including the set up of accounting rules and
charging schedules for advanced job attribute charging. It also includes a scheduling
function that allows customers to set up recurring events in the accounts database, such as
account transactions, database archives and automatic reports.
PCSM 2.5 contains a comprehensive reporting facility, the Reports Manager, that allows
customers to produce reports on accounts, account activity and printer use on a yearly,
quarterly, monthly, bi- weekly, weekly, daily or custom basis. Reports can be saved in
HTML- format to make them accessible through a web-browser. Customers can use these
reports to recover costs, to identify patterns of use by individuals or departments, or to
identify the load on a particular printing device. By generating a set of appropriate reports,
customers can demonstrate areas of organisational strength or system wide problems.
The tool displays a preview of the report allowing easy selection of the correct report, with
the column headers being customisable. When the administrator chooses to execute a
certain report, the Report Manager queries the database for the most current information.
5
PCSM Product Information Guide
The Reports Customisation Tool allows administrators to change the look of the reports.
Report titles, window titles, headers, standard report page text, footers and column headings
can be customised to specific needs. A bitmap picture (such as the customers logo) can also
be included as a standard.
Aficio Counter Manager has been developed to provide the total output volume (copy, print
and fax) for the NRG Aficio-devices, per defined period, based on the actual counter
information. Also, Aficio Counter Manager feeds serial number information back to the
system, making it a valuable tool for organisations and/or departments that are managing
large installed bases of machines, even when they are in separate locations (as long as these
are connected through a Wide Area Network).
Based on the data gathered by Aficio Counter Manager, 15 reports, not available in the
standard SoftwareMetrics PAS- version can be generated.
The Cashier is a small application that is designed for use by staff members who have a role
in managing account balances. Cashier allows customers to add and subtract funds from
user accounts.
Finally, there are workstation applications within PCSM, which can be installed on the network
workstations as necessary.

The Add-ons
Besides the core components, mentioned above, there are add-on software modules that
integrate with them. Each add-on is licensed separately. There are two categories of add-ons:
Print Servers: As a standard, Printer Cost & Securit y Manager 2.5 supports one Windows
NT4, Windows 2000, Novell NetWare or Unix print server. In case a customer wants to
install additional print servers on his network, the Print Server add-on is required.
By default, an Accounting Server is also a print server. However, an administrator might
choose to distribute the activity associated with network printing depending on the number
of users, physical layout of the network and physical location of the print devices. Setting
up remote print servers helps to distribute network traffic, limit bottlenecks and increase
response times. PCSM printers may also be available through an Intranet or Internet
connection.
Services:
o Client Billing Services: The Client Billing service is a client-server software add-on that
provides print-time billing code selection functionality. Client Billing makes project
resource management easy by prompting users to assign billing codes when they print
their document. Client Billing can be used when printing from a Windows NT,
Windows 2000 or Novell Netware environment, but not with Unix print servers;
o MacIntosh Services: This service provides comprehensive printing management
services for mixed Windows-MacIntosh environments. It eliminates the need for third
party software to ensure authenticated printing from MacIntosh workstations to the
Windows server. Additionally, MacIntosh Services allow customers to assign printing
costs to user accounts or billing codes at print time;
o Secure Document Release Services: This module adds document control capabilities on
a print server where the SoftwareMetrics Print Monitor is installed. When SDR is
installed, documents sent to the print server are held in a proprietary queue until they are
released using one of two remote mechanisms: hardware (NTS device) or software
(Release Station, see below) and
o NTS services: These services manage Network Transaction Station (NTS) devices on a
customers network. NTS devices are vending units that control access to either copiers,
printers or both copiers and printers. NTS Services interface with the Accounting Server
service so that vending activity at NTS devices can be tracked in the database.
When NTS Services are installed without the Secure Document Release add-on, NTS
devices can control access to copiers only. When installed with the add-on, a single
NTS-device can control access to both copiers and printers.
Another feature provided by the NTS Services is My Print, in the market also known
as follow- me printing. A customers user has the ability to pull a print job queued for
output on one device to another device and collect it there. To do so, the customer needs
to have the NTS services running and needs to identify Printer Pull and Release Groups
in the Systems Manager. When creating these printer pull groups, it is necessary to
ensure that the destination printer is compatible with all of the printers in the pull group.
Workstation components:
o Release Station: this add-on allows customers to set up a network workstation as a point
of controlled document release. Using Release Station, network users can release to the
printer documents that are held on an SDR-enabled print server.
In the former version of PCSM, 2.1, there was an additional set of add-on software modules that
were related to the print server (Netware Print Server and Unix Print Server). These add-ons
have now been integrated in the core components and come as a standard with PCSM 2.5.

Benefits
Printer Cost & Security Manager 2.5 provides many customer benefits. It is known as an
excellent leading-edge hardcopy cost management system that is designed to suit the needs of
customers in diverse computing environments. The following are the benefits PCSM offers:
Transparency: the system is not intrusive, time-consuming nor does it require any extra
training for the end-user. It offers the benefit of being server-based, thereby greatly
reducing the workload of the network administrator and being completely invisible to
end-users. Also, PCSM does not demand expensive client-side software or extra
configuration requirements.
Ease and flexibility: PCSM 2.5 provides the tools both to manage the accumulated
hardcopy data and to produce comprehensive reports. It collects and integrates data about
printing and copying, it includes a wide variety of reporting options to fit different
information requirements and it summarises detailed information into a manageable form.
When charging or allocating costs, Printer Cost & Security Manager offers a flexible
amount of accounts, billing codes or departments to be used, while it also supports a wide
variety of cost recovery strategies.
Connectivity: a companys printing environment may include several different Operating
Systems and various hardware devices of different makes and models, including plotters.
Printer Cost & Security Manager 2.5 is flexible enough to track users at all workstations
using all printing and copiers.
Scalability: PCSM works with any number of print servers and in multiple locations, while
maintaining a centralised management facility for easy administration. PCSM is
upgradeable in order to grow with the customers company.

Product Functions
Printer Cost & Security Manager 2.5 provides the following primary functions
Printer Cost & Security Manager can be used by many organisations to manage network
printing costs, user quota, printer access, and/or to optimise the usage of hardcopy resources. Its
comprehensive charging system enables administrators to set prices for, and accurately charge
for all printing activities on the network. This allows organisations to control or recover their
printing costs, whether from users, departments or from their own clients or customers.
Where cost management is not the overriding concern for the organisation, Printer Cost &
Security Manager is typically used to manage the overall network printing environment. Using
a combination of the cost reporting and printer usage reporting, network administrators can
begin to understand the printing patterns, printer usage and consumable use within their
organisation. Once this information is understood, it is then possible for the organisation to
either optimise its printing activities, or to switch to the cost containment option.
PCSM can generate monthly reports for billing customers on a cost-per-page basis. The reports
can be automatically e-mailed at the end of the month to an accounting department to be
imported by billing and invoicing software packages. The Client Billing add-on is required to
make this function available.
The Client Billing add-on uses billing codes to charge back print jobs. Client Billing prompt
users at their workstation for a billing code each time they attempt to print a document. Billing
codes can be applied to a project, a customer number or an internal tracking account.
Client Billing also allows a user to distinguish between billable and non-billable printing for the
billing code the user has entered. The PCSM Accounting Server tracks usage by billing code for
effective cost recovery through integrated reporting and billing code account statements.
Using the Reports Manager, administrators can produce comprehensive reports, accurately
illustrating printing activity for billing code. Scheduled reports can be automatically e-mailed
in CSV-format for accounting personnel for easy import into existing accounting applications.
Other add-ons and modules, like the NTS device (for tracking walk-up copying), MacIntosh
Services (to enable identical functionality on MacIntosh workstations) and Desktop Printing (to
use billing codes for desktop printing on Windows-based workstations) integrate seamlessly
with Client Billing
Secure printing is a very important application in environments where the confidentiality of the
documents has to be maintained. PCSM can allow for documents only to be released if the
appropriate code is entered via the Network Transaction Station, connected to the print server.
A workstation-based document release station can be used as an alternative solution. The
Secure Print add-on is required to make this function available.
10
PCSM Product Information Guide
PCSM can be used to collect data on network printing usage prior to selling hardware or
software to the end user. The software can be installed on a 45-day free trial license, which
incorporates about 45 standard reports covering almost any aspect of network printing. Printing
costs and usage pattern reports can subsequently be used to analyse the customers printing
environment to offer the best printing solutions to them. The customer would usually find one
of the other functions a sufficient motivator to purchase the software as well.

PCSM Product Information Guide
Market Situation
In this chapter, a brief description of the changes that have occurred in the networked, hardcopy
output market will be presented.
Driving Forces
The traditional copier and printer market has changed dramatically over the last couple of years.
The major driving forces behind these changes have been:
Market Overview
Printing costs are much higher than many companies realise. Web printing, the proliferation of
colour printing, and unrestricted access to network printers are all factors that are causing a
rapid growth of printing costs. Printing cost management software is designed to help managers
and administrators control printing costs by regulating and reducing printing volumes,
especially on high-cost colour printers. By implementing such a system, an organisation can
easily save 15 to 20% of printing costs.
The paperless office is a myth: by the year 2002, the yearly usage is expected to jump to one
and a half times that! (Lyra Research)!
14
PCSM Product Information Guide
With more pages being printed, the variable costs of printing are rapidly rising. The printing
cost equation is made up of the fixed hardware costs and the variable costs of printing each page.
Over the past few years, the bulk of total printing costs has shifted dramatically towards
variable costs. Printing hardware costs are no longer the major part of the printing investment.
The continuous fall in hardware prices gave the illusion of declining printing costs. But in
reality companies spend a lot of money on the variable costs of printing.
Up-front hardware costs no longer make up the bulk of printing costs, as consumable costs are
quickly exceeding the purchase price of network printers. With consumable costs quickly
becoming a greater proportion of total printing costs, companies need to find a way to contain
and control them.
With the increase in hardcopies being printed, one might expect the amount of copying to go
down. This is true, although on an absolute basis, the copy volume in the market only declines
very slowly, remaining an important part of the total hardcopy/output costs. Companies will
look to manage and control this volume as well.
Hardcopy cost management software can help customers to manage their output costs by
15
PCSM Product Information Guide
limiting or charging for printer and copier use. They can use several methods to recover or
contain costs:
Cost Containment:
Each employee or department is only allowed to print or copy a specified number of pages,
after which no pages will be accepted until the quota is reset. A company may decide to
reset quotas automatically every month, week or even every day. This method is useful
when a company wants to prevent employees from printing indiscriminately.
The hardcopy cost management a company chooses is dependent on their overall objectives and
policies. A software application needs to be able to support all these scenarios, while NRG
could act as a consultant to decide together with the customer which allocation method will
meet their requirements the best.
16
PCSM Product Information Guide
Competitive landscape
Hardcopy cost containment has received a lot of interest from the major players in the 'Office
Automation market. Being relatively close to the core business, many vendors have
developed or sourced solutions that allow them to offer a solution to their customers.
However, it should be remembered that Printer Accounting Server and Printer Cost & Security
Manager are not the same product. Although they share the same core, Printer Cost & Security
Manager features some aspects that are unique to NRG/Ricoh:
Aficio Counter Manager is included, offering serial number and counter-based volume
feedback (copy, print and fax) of Aficio-devices through a Wide Area Network, allowing
for central resource management;
Desktop Printing is standard;
Deployment Tool is included and
Additional Analysis Tool is included.
Competitive products
Currently, there are several competitive products available in the market. Some of these
products are part of a network printing management suite, while others are specifically
designed to offer volume monitoring, cost allocation and charging and security:
Specifically designed products:
JAS: a highly modular solution that offers functionality very similar to PCSM 2.5. It
looks very similar to PCSM 2.5, but the integration with Windows is less advanced.
Currently, it is being offered by Minolta as part of their Partner Programme;
Safecom: this well-designed solution from I-Data has a lot of functionality in
common with PCSM 2.5. Its is designed in the form of a hardware-box, looking very
attractive. It is included in the portfolio of Lanier, Minolta, Konica and Toshiba;
Vendor-specific solutions:
PageRouter: a Canon-solution by SoftwareMetrics, that offers a less-specified
PAS-version in an appliance concept, a small server with 10 connections that can be
fitted into a rack, ready to go;
NetSpotAccountant: as an add-on to the NetSpot network printing management suite
from Canon, this solution offers basic volume tracking and allocation;
MarkTrack: this add-on module to Lexmarks MarkVision Professional offers
extended cost allocation, but is limited to Lexmark products;
JetAdmin: this HP network printing management application has a reasonably
well-specified volume monitoring and allocation function as a standard.

Market sub-segments :
21
PCSM Product Information Guide
Includes corporations and general businesses, and government institutions of all types
Immature with many global companies - may not yet have acknowledged a need to control
costs
In many cases, the organisations know only that they consume large quantities of paper, but
have no further understanding
Factors: Operating Efficiencies, ISO, Security
Need to sell to IT managers, Business Mgrs, Purchasing
Almost all companies have some NT servers + UNIX and NetWare
Primary use: Managing and understanding network printing costs
Large format printers are expensive to buy and run. Need PCSM to manage both the device
and consumables
Need a way to control end user, entering project codes every time plot files are printed.
These can than be allocated back to the appropriate project or department for billing
Project future printing costs and budget for them, across their entire network infrastructure
This group needs to know print patterns at customer sites. This is used to bill back the
printing ticks correctly and also allows them know their clients print needs better then the
clients themselves. This is a great advantage when they come back to re-sell to the account
Files are often transferred back to the Reprographics Office for printing. Plot files (pages,
toner) need to be counted and billed back to hundreds of different accounts and across many
diverse printing devices. Some Printing Manufacturers have methods to track printing on
their own devices. They need a solution to work at the NT server level, with the ir varied
applications and print devices
22
PCSM Product Information Guide
Marketing Firms
Work with many of the graphics packages and different colour printers.
Many production runs for customers need to be captured and billed back to the respective
clients
Clients usually get miscellaneous billing statements for the printing done for them.
Billing statements are usually manually created by the IT group going through print logs
and associating these print jobs and costs, with client accounts
This process is both time consuming and prone to errors, which costs the accounts money
and ultimately customer satisfaction
Sales channels
PCSM 2.5 can be classified as a typical solution product, which requires close interaction with
customers, consultancy approach and good knowledge of printing environments. It is
recommended that PCSM is offered to a customer as one of the following:
Component of the complete solution: PCSM is regarded as a tool to sell more Aficio
products by allowing the sales consultants to prove that centralised networked Aficio
machines are the most cost effective solution for the customer. The complete solution
delivered consists of Aficio machines, PCSM software solution and consultancy, support
and other professional services.
In many cases the customer is not interested in the type of output devices he is buying. He
needs a complete solution, which allows him to deliver all printing to his organisation
efficiently and effectively. PCSM will monitor all printing and copying activities and
associate relevant printing and copying costs.
Consultancy tool - pre sales investigation: The trial- version can be used as a consultancy
tool to help NRG to sell more Aficio products. The PCSM-trial version installed on a
customer network will deliver extensive information about a customers printing
behaviour. The reports can be analysed by the NRG consultant and a cost saving scenario
including Aficio machines could be recommended.
Facilities management tool: for organisations providing facilities management services
PCSM will be the tool used internally to minimise printing cost, optimise the system and
maintain high profitability. In combination with Aficio Counter Manager, PCSM 2.5 offers
a powerful tool to manage large installed bases of Aficio devices, even remote ones, from
one central location.
These applications show that for NRG the direct channel is most suitable to sell PCSM.
However, it is possible to sell PCSM through the indirect channel, either using a similar
business model as described above (for advanced indirect partners) or as an off- the-shelf
product. Potential dealers/distributors will have to have high level of expertise in customer
printing environments particularly including Windows NT, TCP-IP and overall software
solution sales capability.

PrintObserver 2.0 Product Information Guide
Introduction
18 Months ago, NRG launched AficioManager, a suite of network printing
management applications that allow both users and administrators to monitor and
control the networked output devices.
AficioManager was and is an integral part of NRGs network printing strategy,
completing the offering.
However, one of the shortfalls of AficioManager has proven to be its design. This was
mainly directed at the workgroup environment, therefore, AficioManager could not
provide a satisfactory alternative for big networks. PrintObserver will.
This new network printing management application has been designed by EDSC to
give users and administrators in large, enterprise-wide networks, full visibility of their
printers and their printing. By employing advanced technologies, it is much more
efficient than AficioManager in the way it transports this information over the
network, making it an ideal solution for the larger networks.
PrintObserver has been announced for a while, but NRG is now in a position to
launch the solution. It will further our position as a supplier of printing solutions in
the corporate environment and will turn out to be an important tool for retaining large
major accounts.
Marketing Objectives
Complete NRGs offering in the network printing market with a network printing
management solution dedicated to the large enterprise-wide networks.

PrintObserver 2.0 Product Information Guide
Product
Concept
The Primary Publisher is installed and maintained by the network administrator. The
primary Publisher should be installed on a Windows NT4.0/2000 print-server. It polls
information from all network printers connected to this server. Subscribers or
secondary Publishers can subscribe to this information and are then automatically
notified about changes in the printer status. If a number of subscribers are located in
the LAN through a gateway or low bandwidth connection, one of these subscribers
can be assigned as a secondary publisher: instead of distributing the information from
the primary Publisher to every Subscriber, it is only distributed to this secondary
Publisher. The secondary Publisher then distributes the information to the Subscribers
in the LAN.
A Secondary Publisher can also be used to distribute the work burden of the Publisher
on more than one PC. The Subscribers will automatically be evenly distributed on all
available Publishers in a LAN.
Notes:
There can be multiple Publishers for one single device.
One Publisher can publish info rmation of multiple devices.
Publisher polls information from a device and pushes this together with the job
status of all queued print jobs to the Subscribers.
Publisher requires Microsoft Windows NT or Windows 2000 print server to run.
This server should hold the print queues of all the printers which need to be
monitored.

PrintObserver 2.0 Product Information Guide
Preceding jobs are also monitored, so the jobs position in the spooler is also
displayed.

PrintObserver 2.0 Product Information Guide
Note:
Publisher(s) are automatically selected by the subscriber out of a list of available
Publishers for the device concerned. It will try to select a Publisher according to
the following criteria:
The Publisher with the optimal availability.
The Publisher with the minimal virtual distance to the information-source
The Publisher with the minimal workload
There can be multiple Publisher(s) functioning as an information source for one
device.
Publisher can publish information of multiple device(s).
PrintObserver Config is the tool provided to configure the Publishers and Subscribers.
Using this tool, users can enable or disable the monitoring of some of the network
printers they are using or alter the list of Publishers that the Subscriber of Secondary
Publisher should use as an information source. Finally some changes can be made to
the notification method PrintObserver uses to signal events.
6
PrintObserver 2.0 Product Information Guide
Finally, with the Administrators Adaptation Kit, the network administrator can enable
or disable a set of features of the PrintObserver installation files. These settings can be
saved in an .ini-or .reg- file, which can be used during subsequent installations.

PrintObserver 2.0 Product Information Guide
If a Publisher is installed on the print server, it can obtain from the so-called Spooler
Agent all information on queued and printing jobs. Additionally, PrintObserver uses a
Print-Job-Analyser to extract information from the spooled documents to predict the
progress of each document in the queue and on the printer. PrintObserver uses the
print server's spool information and printer's internal status to decide the progress of
each printing document in the print server queue or its printing progress in the printer.

Ease of Installation
Besides this, PrintObserver has been designed and tested to support SMS installations.
SMS is the Microsoft Systems-Manager-Service, which enables administrators of
large enterprise networks to install or upgrade PrintObserver on each client PC with
the push of one button.

PrintObserver can automatically sense the IP address or host-name of a printer when one of the
following is fulfilled:
PrintObserver is running on a Microsoft NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 operating system and the printer
driver is using an LPR port to print directly to the printer.
PrintObserver is running on an Microsoft NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 operating system and the printer
driver is installed from a print server using Add Printer and the print server is using an LPR port to
print directly to the printer.

PrintObserver has been designed to be compatible with the industry standards for
printer management SNMP. SNMP is supported by most modern network printers,
regardless of the brand.
PrintObserver supports:
Systems MIB (RFC1697);
Host Resources MIB (RFC 1514);
Printer MIB (RFC 1759) and partly the new version 2.0 implemented.
The first HP model that has implemented these MIBs is the LaserJet 5Si. Most of
NRGs latest Aficio products support this as well. Since the implementation of the
14
PrintObserver 2.0 Product Information Guide
standard is the responsibility of each vendor, level of information for each product is
slightly different.
The reason for this is that standard printer-status- monitoring tools usually require the
users to print directly to the printer, thereby loosing the benefit of print server
features. PrintObserver allows the users to use a print-server. Users are able to have
control over all their print jobs, while benefiting from the print-server architecture.

PrintObserver works perfectly in the PAS environment: each user that has
implemented PAS in their printing workflow will benefit from PrintObserver.
The reason for this close integration is that PAS uses the same Microsoft Windows
NT4.0/2000 print-server architecture as PrintObserver. Moreover, PrintObserver
supports PAS's special Aficio Network Printer Monitor as well as Windows standard
Print Monitor to monitor printing jobs.

Logistics
There will be four items for PrintObserver.
PrintObserver v2.0
This is the actual application. This item can be used for demonstration, promotion
and trial purpose. If a customer wants to implement PrintObserver, he also needs
to have one of the licenses mentioned below.
1 Sever license
This is a license card that gives a customer a license to use PrintObserver on one
print server in their network. The customer needs at least one PrintObserver
package plus this license card.
5 server license-pack
This is a license card that gives customer a license to use PrintObserver on up to
five print servers. The customer needs at least one PrintObserver package plus this
license card.
Enterprise license
This is a license card that gives customer a license to use PrintObserver on
unlimited number of print servers. The customer needs at least one PrintObserver
package plus this license card.
When a customer orders PrintObserver V2.0, he will receive an envelope with a CD-
ROM in a box. This allows him to install PrintObserver as a test-version. When he
wants to start using PrintObserver officially, he will have to order one of the license
packages. These come in an envelope, which holds a license card and a floppy disk
that enables the registration.
The user can only install a PrintObserver as many times as the server-license he
has agreed to buy.

eCabinet 2.1 Product Information Guide
Introduction
In order to survive, business develops systems to manage the flow of information
throughout their organisation. From metal filing cabinets to todays multi- million Euro
computer-based document management systems, businesses strive to make the tasks
associated with creating, storing and managing their documents simpler, available to
everyone in their organisations and more cost-effective.
Early document management systems were developed to address the high value,
mission critical applications area, where customers were most willing to pay to solve
problems. More recently, personal document management solutions were built to
address the inadequacies of the OS-level file find function. Though useful, the
limitations of these products have so far restricted their market acceptance in the
business environment.
The middle ground, where documents are mid-volume, mid-value and a mix of
structured and ad- hoc, has the broadest potential market for document management
solutions and, to date, has been underserved. This area is called Workgroup Document
Management.
At the same time, in these offices, information exists in a variety of different formats,
which broadly segment into paper and electronic. While technology has rapidly
increased the number of electronic documents used within organisations, analysts
confirm that 80% of all information users interact with, still exists on paper. The ability
to manage both seamlessly defines the usefulness of document management systems.
At each step in the traditional document management process, substantial costs are
incurred. In recent years, shifts in office technology have made document management
solutions progressively simpler, cheaper and more efficient. But, while major progress
has been made in many areas, specific gaps remain. Most importantly, capture
technology is not yet cheap enough, easy enough or subject to accepted standards.
Products that successfully address this issue stand to benefit from a large market
opportunity in Workgroup Document Management.
Thats where RSVs Network Office Appliance (NOA) comes into the play: it directly
addresses the Workgroup Document Management opportunity. In contrast to high-end
mission-critical document management solutions, the NOA will require minimal user
maintenance and administration, it will feature easy-to-use client functionality for
simple and quick information access and will scale to the needs of the workgroup. The
resulting dramatic reduction in the total cost of ownership offers NRG the chance to
take an early lead in this market.

Product Overview
Concept
eCabinet is the first of the so-called Network Office Appliances. A Network Office
Appliance (NOA) can be characterised by three things:
Within the NOAs, eCabinet is more specifically an Information Appliance, since it will
be used by organisations to manage the information within their organisation more
effectively.
Most importantly, eCabinet addresses the capture and retrieval problem by leveraging
existing digital multi- functional peripheral technologies. In contrast to dedicated
scanners and high labour overhead required in traditional document management
systems, eCabinet uses enhanced MFPs, as well as network-attached scanners, faxes,
printers, copiers and client PCs to allow for simple, low-cost, unconscious and
intuitive document capture.

Product Overview: The eCabinet Solution
Most importantly, a key design strategy for eCabinet is to facilitate easy document
capture and retrieval by leveraging existing digital Multi-Function Product (MFP)
technologies. In contrast to the dedicated scanners and high labour overhead required in
traditional document management systems, eCabinet harnesses the power of enhanced
MFPs, as well as network-attached scanners, faxes, printers, copiers, and client PCs to
allow for simple, low-cost document information management.

Localization
Install eCabinet on your network, and then select the language to use for the
interface. The document database indexing, the browser-based user interface, the
LCD display, and the date and time will all correspond to both the language and
conventions of the country selected.
Note: If French is selected the date format used is the French date format and not the
Quebecois date format.
- PC Capture Language
PC Capture UI is now localized in Dutch, German, English US, English UK,
French, and Italian.

eCabinet 2.1 Product Information Guide
Backup and archiving
Backup and archiving of documents captured on the eCabinet takes place in one of the
following ways, or a combination of several of the following ways:
- Document Backup
eCabinet 2.x provides document security by automatically backing up all your
documents to a preferred secure storage media, including built- in, removable
DVD*, on-site NFS, encrypted Internet-based HTTP, and SEC compliant WORM
media.
*Original eCabinet model only, not eCabinet 2100
Email Notification
eCabinet and eCabinet 2100 automatically alert via email about any problems it has
capturing or processing documents. By entering an email address (or the address of an
administrator), emails will be automatically sent for certain eCabinet or eCabinet 2100
status notifications including: DVD Full, DVD Insertion Required for Restore, and
Backup Target. eCabinet and eCabinet 2100 will continue to email daily until the
problem has been resolved and the task can be performed.

Centralized Data Sharing across Workgroups And Remote Offices - Data
Replication
Data Replication allows both remote and local eCabinet 2.x users to exchange files
easily by automatically forwarding encrypted information from one eCabinet to a
network of other eCabinets. Multiple eCabinets can even be configured to replicate
their data to just one eCabinet, creating a central repository that authorized users can use
to access all workgroup documents. With a high level of fault tolerance, eCabinet 2.x
provides the ideal solution for the management and sharing of documents in an efficient
yet secure manner.

eCabinet 2.1 Product Information Guide
Because Data Replication can be used to create document identical eCabinets, it also
provides an easily accessed failsafe backup. Even in the event of a catastrophic
worksite occurrence, document management can continue uninterrupted by simply
selecting a redundant eCabinet.
eCabinet with Data Replication easily provides multiple workgroups and remote offices
with both document distribution and data aggregation, coupled with a high level of
fault tolerance.
The performance of the eCabinet cannot be measured by a single number. There are
many factors to be considered in order to determine the expected performance in a
particular scenario. The main factors that affect the performance of the eCabinet are:
The following is a list of performance numbers that can be used as a guideline for
expected levels of performance. This is meant as a calculation example and does not
give the maximum number of document that can be stored on the eCabinet.
9
eCabinet 2.1 Product Information Guide
Scheduled Optimisation
As eCabinet captures and files throughout the workday, information is added to the
database to be indexed and deciphered so documents are retrieved via full-text search.
eCabinet focuses on this database during its once-a-day optimization, organizing them
to keep the database efficient. This optimized directory helps eCabinet to find the
documents needed quickly.
During the optimization process, the document processing stops (documents captured
during this brief period are queued for later capture.) Also the optimization can be
scheduled to affect the fewest users.
User-Adjustable Indexing Rate lets users tailor eCabinets processing rate to match the
rate of documents captured to it on a daily basis.
Even if eCabinet is required to capture over 200 documents a day, per person, the
Indexing Rate can be set to Extremely High. On higher settings, documents take more
time to become available for retrieval, as eCabinet focuses on storing and processing
documents.
Rule-Based Capture Control allows the user to create unique rules for each of the
networked peripherals connected to eCabinet. With Rule-Based Capture Control, it is
possible to assign captured documents automatically to an owner or group, a destination
folder, add keyword notes for simplified retrieval, and make sure that documents go
where they need to go.
By creating a rule for a fax machine, for example, all faxes from a certain phone number
are not only automatically assigned to a specific owner, they can also be transferred into
an eCabinet folder and eCabinet can alert the owner to its arrival via email. By simply
specifying a condition and the resulting actions, eCabinet helps taking control and
managing document overload.
10
eCabinet 2.1 Product Information Guide
User Interface
- User-Defined Folders
eCabinet 2.x has a hierarchical folder structure that allows folder nesting,
creating more inclusive folders with smaller sub-groups. Document folder
security is assured because the folder administrator controls who has the
read/write privileges, and retrieval is faster and easier when custom fields have
been designated for filing.
A Search option lets a user quickly construct a search with the most frequently
used types of criteria.
A More Search Options page offers the full range of document information as
possible search criteria, such as title, time period, etc.
An Expert Search option allows for Boolean searches with nested expressions.
The results of a search appear in one of four possible types of view: List, Calendar,
Stream, and Thumbnail, each designed to provide a certain type of access to the set of
found documents; the first 2 give information on the document the last 2 on the date of
capture.
With a simple command, a user can retrieve a copy of a found document to a PC,
either in native or text-only format for most types of documents.
Document distribution, as long as the recipients have document privileges, is as
simple as dragging and dropping links to the file from eCabinet to your desktop;
they can be embedded in email or stored to your local fileserver.
11
eCabinet 2.1 Product Information Guide
retrieval score, document title, owner name, and thumbnails, too. So, to get as much
information as possible about search returns, just select the List View.
12
eCabinet 2.1 Product Information Guide
Another useful way to use keywords is to create folders on eCabinet that contain
Custom Fields. Custom fields are folder specific keywords that are automatically
associated with every item that is filed into that folder. They can be pre-selected
and will appear in a menu whenever an item is moved into that folder. A folder
containing CVs, for example, could contain pre-selected fields such as Key skills,
Desired salary, or Years of experience, enabling resums based on these custom
field criteria to be found later.
Indexed document content. At the time of capture, the system constructs a full text
index and word frequency count of the document contents, first performing an OCR
(Optical Character Recognition) scan of the document if necessary. Non-OCRd text
(FTPd such as PC capture files) will be indexed by a different method. eCabinet
currently supports 17 language dictionaries for the improved OCR function. The
supported languages for capture and retrieval are : English (US), English (UK),
Dutch, Irish/Gaelic, Portuguese (Brazilian), Swedish, French, German, Italian,
Norwegian, Spanish, Danish, Finnish, French (Canadian), German (Swiss),
Portuguese, and Spanish (Mexican).
CAUTION: It is recommended that no more than 2 dictionaries be invoked at any
one time in an operational environment because of potential performance impacts.
Caere Corp. developed the software used for the OCR.
Fax, scanned and printer documents are ocrd and stored as tiff files. Email is
stored as .txt (attachments are stored in native format), and PC documents are
captured and stored in native format.
Note: Documents scanned, copied, or print captured at 600 dpi, are rendered at 300 dpi
at the time of capture on the eCabinet.

Client Application Downloads
PC Capture, Outlook, and Internet Explorer plug- ins are available for download from
either the Web, at www.rsv.ricoh.com, or directly from eCabinets hard drive from the
Home page or the Help page.
Integration with other software
- Web Browser
eCabinets Web browser interface is platform independent, has built- in Internet
Explorer toolbar features, opens PC files automatically in their preferred editor, and
14
eCabinet 2.1 Product Information Guide
enables the distribution of documents by sharing the links, all from a familiar and
intuitive interface.
Using Internet Explorer, it is possible to search eCabinet right from the browsers
toolbar. Recent document search histories are saved in a drop-down menu. (the
toolbar is only available in English)
- Outlook Integration
eCabinet is integrated with Microsoft Outlook, simplifying email management tasks.
Using the built-in Outlook toolbar, drag and drop emails directly into an eCabinet
folder, assign special Custom Fields or case number ID-based retrieval, create
summary and keyword notes, while eCabinet automatically indexes the text and
creates a summary. (integration probably only works with English Outlook)
- PC Capture
Windows-based localized PC Capture software lets the user capture documents
from a PC immediately or according to a regular capture schedule. Immediate
capture can be performed via a one-click method that allows the user to right-click
a PC document to send it to eCabinet or an eCabinet folder for indexing. When
capturing a document, it is possible to assign special custom fields for customer or
case number ID-based retrieval, create a summary and keyword annotations, while
eCabinet automatically indexes the text and creates a summary. It is also possible to
capture immediately using the drag and drop method that has default keyword and
folder filing options, and is performed by simply clicking on a document and
dropping it onto the PC Capture icon on your desktop.
Create a capture schedule for a folder on your PC, to create a regular schedule for
automatic document capture. Only new documents or new versions of older
documents that have been added to the folder will be sent to eCabinet. It is also
possible to create custom fields, keyword notes, and summaries to be added to every
document at capture.
15
eCabinet 2.1 Product Information Guide
Document security
eCabinet has strong built- in security measures which prevent unauthorized access to
both the eCabinet UI (user interface) and the stored files, while still remaining flexible
enough to allow users various ways in which to access to their documents.
These various levels of access ensure that the security of sensitive files is not
compromised, and yet documents can still be shared with ease.
Note: If the capture control rules are not set, a document could have an
unknown user. Also by default, a new printer has unknown as the owner of
the documents sent to that printer on eCabinet.
The eCabinet system integrates directly into an existing local area network (e.g.
Ethernet 10/100BaseT). Field service (e.g. NRG or channel), personnel (or optionally
the end user), performs the installation, which is comparable in effort to the installation
of a network-connected printer.
The eCabinet requires no software installation and provides a keypad interface for
direct network configuration.
An easy-to-use wizard is provided for installation of the PC Capture software.
The installation should also include setting up the peripherals to send documents to
eCabinet, such as automatic email forward, or capture of all faxes.
16
eCabinet 2.1 Product Information Guide
Administration
The settings screen allows the administrator to perform numerous tasks including: set
time and date; change administrator passwords; create other administrators; create users
and groups; create folders; edit users; add new users; set capture control; set replication;
set up printers; configure network settings; change language dictionaries; manage
backups; set backup location; set up backup settings; recover data; recover eCabinet
settings (set at installation time) and set privileges.
Competition
The term Document Management has become a catch all term that attempts to
describe any thing and everything that can be done to a document once it is in an
electronic format. In general terms, there are six basic func tions that are traditionally
associated with Document Management Systems (DMS):
Capture, OCR and indexing, search and retrieval of typical office documents
Special document management (forms, bar codes, drawings, etc.)
Collaboration, library services (check in/out), versioning and annotation
Work flow and document distribution/routing
Archival and alternative back up solutions
Integration with legacy systems and other applications ( databases, Lotus Notes, MS
Exchange, SAP, etc)
All applications have some form of capturing or importing documents. This is the most
basic document management function. However, few of the popular DMS applications
provide a complete capture solution.
When compared to other DM systems the eCabinet will almost always have competitive
advantages associated with capturing documents. Many competitors lack the ability to
capture or schedule the capture of documents automatically. This is an important point,
since the most vocal critics of DMS claim that requiring people to change their standard
work habits is the one largest factor that limits the usefulness of DMS. Unless all
documents are effortlessly captured, i.e. without manual intervention, it is next to
impossible to maintain an accurate and complete document database. Furthermore, most
competitive systems are ill equipped to capture paper documents. The standard solution
is to require the end user to scan all hard copy documents and then route them to the
appropriate storage destination.
Since most all DMS are custom installations, designed to meet each users specific
needs, the complexity and functionality can vary widely from one installation to
another. Similarly, prices vary wildly. An entry-level DM application, which only
supports capture, of electronic documents, basic search and retrieval can be licensed for
17
eCabinet 2.1 Product Information Guide
Euro 500 per seat. A custom enterprise level system with all the above mentioned
functions can cost well over Euro 1,000,000. The eCabinet was not intended to be a
fully functional Document Management system. It was designed to simplify the
document capture and indexing process while at the same time, making the task of
document storage and retrieval simple and effortless. In reality, it does provide the same
functionality of several DM solutions. And generally, the eCabinet is priced lower than
systems of equal functionality. It is true that many of the so-called enterprise level
systems provide much more sophisticated tools. However, the purchase price, as well as
the cost of ownership, is often ten times higher than the eCabinet solution.
Finally, it has to be recognised that competitors are developing similar products. Xerox,
for one, is expected to launch a product in the next 6 to 9 months as well, while similar
activities can be expected from Canon. Therefore, it is important to keep first- mover
advantage.

XEROX DOCUS HARE
There are 3 versions offered of DocuShare: Basic, Office and Enterprise. All three
versions have capture capability that is limited to electronic files that are accessible via
a web browser. To add capture capability from MFPs, printers and scanners, the Xerox
FlowPort software is required.
The Basic version, priced at $1,395 for a 25 seat license and basic server software, is
browser based and is not integrated with MS Windows/Office. Further, it has limited
security and is not customisable. The Office version adds MS Office integration,
expanded security and customisation. The price for a 500 seat license and the Office
server software is $14,995. The Enterprise level package is $44,995 for the server
software and unlimited seats and offers easy integration with enterprise level
applications such a Oracle databases.
Note: Server hardware and FlowPort software not included in these prices.
Competitive Advantages:
Competitive Disadvantages:
Price: While the Basic version is very inexpensive, its functionality is quite limited.
To achieve functionality comparable to an eCabinet, the price is approximately
$27,000. Granted, the high price tag does have the collaboration and sharing
features that are not available on the eCabinet.

CYLEX, INC
CyLex Inc. is selling i- DOX, a document management solution service (ASP model)
that looks suspiciously like a subset of the Documentum product (Ttis would make
sense considering that Documentum is a major investor in CyLex.). With the i-DOX
service, you can store text, graphics, scanned images, even sound and digital movies, in
a dedicated Document vault. The service includes full text search (Verity compatible
file types only) and Meta data searching, however, the user must manually create the
Meta data for each and every document. Other features include library services for
collaboration (documents check in/out), version control, and annotation.
A release and upload script is used to capture documents, convert them into XML
format and export them to the i-DOX vault. The capture sources include PCs, file
servers and Kofax scanners, however, documents must be manually captured. Imported
documents are OCRd and indexed for future retrieval. CyLex utilises the latest
encryption and verification techniques to ensure the security of your documents. EMC
provides the storage infrastructure and the retrieval technology.
CyLex has just signed a technology and marketing agreement with ePage Solutions
(Electronic Page Solutions, Inc.), a leading software developer in the Electronic
Statement Presentment (ESP) industry. ePage Solutions provides print data stream
transformation products that transform mainframe data to .pdf files. They will also
create an XML release script that will enable .pdf content to be uploaded to the i- DOX
back-end solution. The resulting solution will enable end-users of legacy systems to use
CyLexs ASP-enabled document management solution for electronic statement
presentment.
Competitive Advantages:
Collaboration and version control
Annotation
Remote storage location
Access via internet from any location
Supports relatively high volumes of documents
No capital equipment investment: low cost for low volumes of document
transactions
Competitive Disadvantages:
No automatic capture procedure
No capture procedure for copied documents
Meta data must be manually created
No document level permissions

PC DOCS
The PC DOCS suite of products were developed and sold by PC DOCS Group
International, a Canadian company that was acquired by Hummingbird in 1999.
Hummingbird, also a Canadian company, has a several other enterprise software
solutions that provide access to all business-critical information and resources,
aggregated and categorised through a single user interface. Hummingbird offers these
global enterprise solutions through the desktop and the Web using Hummingbird
Enterprise Portal Suite, the cornerstone of the firm's e-Business solutions. Solutions
include host access /network connectivity, data transformation and integration, data
mining, knowledge management, structured data base management tools, and analytical
solutions for telecoms, financial institutions and health care industries.
DOCS Open A client-server product enabling users to store, locate and manage
information across a wide range of platforms and networks.
DOCS Imaging Tightly integrated Windows-based client to full DOCSFusion
document management functionality.
DOCS Routing Which enables the routing of documents for review, comment
addition, and status checking.
Other options include modules for linking, managing and publishing collections of
documents, access for users who are not connected to the network, integration with
Lotus Notes databases and ME Exchange public folders, and an application for mid-
sized law offices.
On the surface, the PCDOCS suite would appear to be a strong competitor to eCabinet.
They certainly cover a wide range of document management aspects. Of particular
concern, from a competitive perspective, is their ability to do workflow (e.g. versioning
and routing). The key differentiator between the eCabinet approach and PCDOCS is in
the capture area. While eCabinet has the ability to capture documents automatically
from a number of network-attached peripherals (scanners, Faxes, copiers and printers),
PCDOCS, like many other competitors must rely on the availability of electronic
documents, or must input documents via manual scanning operations.
In the area of pricing, eCabinet has some advantages. Based on a typical scenario (e.g. a
50 user work group), PCDOCS would cost in the neighbourhood of $22,450.

eCabinet 2.1 Product Information Guide
Positioning
eCabinet 2.1 is NRGs first network office appliance. It provides superior document
consolidation, comprehensive digital indexing, and straightforward retrieval for both
paper and electronic documents. These documents may be captured from various
sources on the network, such as printers, fax machines, copiers, PCs and scanners.
Target Customers
Workgroups of 10 to 50 employees
Information intensive companies or departments
Small businesses and corporate departments
Target Decision Making Unit (DMU)
Rackmount Desktop
Financial Director Financial Director
Office Manager IT Manager
Purchase Manager Office Manager
IT Manager Purchase Manager
The target DMU for eCabinet 2.1 is the same as for version 1.1. All Marcoms and PR
material will therefore be updated to reflect the additional features of the new product
rather than to reposition it.
Target Markets
Target Channels
eCabinet will be sold mainly through the direct sales channel. In the mid-term eCabinet
might create an opportunity to develop Value-Added-Reseller and Systems Integrator
Channels.
Sales Approach
eCabinet is an application for which a single selling strategy is hard to define: every
application in every vertical market will require a different approach, which is
application-driven. Experience in other markets has shown that in order to sell the
eCabinet successfully it is required to focus quickly on certain, well-defined
applications. The in-built flexibility of the eCabinet might lead one to sell it in a very
broad area of applications, but this will lead to customers expectations being wrong
and too high.
34
eCabinet 2.1 Product Information Guide
Niches in which eCabinet can be sold:
Vertical markets:
Financial institutions - contract management;
Logistics companies shipping documents;
Legal companies - contracts;
Government organisations personnel files;
Insurance companies - policies;
Construction firms drawings and designs;
Application areas:
Marketing departments advertising designs;
Human Resource departments - personnel files;
Logistics departments shipping documents;
Invoicing invoice archiving
These areas will have to be exploited with specific applications for each area.
Revenue Generation
Broadly, there are four different ways of selling the product to a customer:
Sell it as a box:
Advantage: easy to administer
Disadvantage: one-off deal with limited follow-up and customer lock-in;
Rent/lease it as a box:
Advantage: customer lock- in;
Disadvantage: not usage-driven
Just rent the usage, while keeping the eCabinet off-site (Application Service Provider
concept):
Advantage: best possible returns and usage of resources;
Disadvantage: very hard to implement, while concept is relatively new
However, for Operating Companies, the eCabinet will also be an important source for
extra revenue streams:
Delivery & Installation: connecting the device to the network and installation of the
PC-capture software on each client-PC;
Training: users and administrators on the use of the solution;
Support: support packages like the ones common in the IT- industry can be provided
with eCabinet;
Consultancy: based on the specific application for a specific company, eCabinet can
be configured differently (keywords, search patterns, etc.). In the future:
configurations per vertical market can be defined, thereby creating a pre-
configured tool or
with the SDK that comes with the software, integration with other systems
within a customers organisation can be realised.

Applications
However, given the flexibility of the applications for eCabinet, it becomes very hard to
sell it: customers will need more and better defined applications that relate to their
environment/business model. eCabinet will require a vertical marketing approach in
order to be sold. The following is a table of top target organisations/industries and likely
usage:

System Administration
An eCabinet administrator will have the capabilities to modify system settings, monitor
the document capture and back up process and check other system behaviours. In
addition, the eCabinet administrator will be able to search for and access all captured
documents.
Settings : Manage and edit users and group accounts, manage folders, set network
connections and configuration, and set capture control
Back up Administration: Manage backup, recover data & settings and index
management
System Status : Information about the status of media storage, document processing,
connected devices and view error messages
There are two other types of administrators set by the eCabinet administrator:
Folder Administrators: can create edit and/or delete group and user-owned folders.
Document Administrators : a so called Super User that has full rights to search for
and retrieve all captured documents, regardless of the access rights that have been
assigned by the document owners.
Additional Information
eCabinet works seamlessly with Kofax Ascent to provide sophisticated batch scan
processing capabilities. Ascent Capture enables the user to verify scanned
documents, validate extracted data, index them for later retrieval, design keyword
notes and custom fields at time of capture for easy document retrieval, and route
them directly into folders on eCabinet. Ascent Capture automatically identifies
forms and performs highly accurate recognition of handwriting (ICR), machine print
(Accents OCR automatically overrides eCabinets own OCR functions), check
marks (OMR), and bar codes to extract even the toughest data from scanned images
with no problem. With the addition of Ascent Capture Internet Server, remote
offices can easily scan documents for processing at a central location, saving time
and shipping costs and eliminating the possibility of lo st documents.
Ricoh Ltd. has informed RSV that effective July 1, 2001 according to the new EC
regulation ICB-1 power supply will not be compliant with new regulations.

Applications that have a MIME type
Applications that have a MIME type can be opened within Web browsers. Either the
browser will display the file, or the native application will be launched and display the
file. These are known as helper applications. Most of the commonly used
applications (word processors, spreadsheets, graphics programs) have MIME types and
are easily opened within a browser. Application version makes no difference; only
MIME type. To check to see if an application has a MIME type:
- Internet Explorer
From the Desktop, open any folder and select the View menu and Folder Options
menu item. Select the File Types tab. Scroll to find the file type you are looking for
from the registered file types list. There are three categories: Extension, Content
Type (MIME), and Opens with. Check to see if there is a listing in the MIME field.
If so, then it should open in the browser.
- Netscape Navigator
Select the Edit menu and Preferences menu item.
Under the Navigator heading, select Applications subheader.
Scroll to find the file type you are looking for from the description list.
There are three categories: Extension, MIME Type, and Handled By. Check to see
if there is a listing in the MIME field. If so, then it sho uld open in the browser.
Applications that do not have a MIME type cannot be opened within Web browsers.
Browsers will give you the option of saving the file to disk, or possibly selecting the
appropriate application to open it, if it exists on the hard drive.
- Internet Explorer
When attempting to retrieve these files on the eCabinet, the File Download dialogue
will appear. You then have a choice whether to Open or Save the file.
If you select the Open radio button, the Open With dialogue will appear, asking you
to select the appropriate application to open the file.
If you select the Save radio button, the Save As dialogue will appear, allowing you
to save the file to disk.

eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
Introduction
In order to survive, business develops systems to manage the flow of information throughout
their organisation. From metal filing cabinets to todays multi- million Euro computer-based
document management systems, businesses strive to make the tasks associated with creating,
storing and managing their documents simpler, available to everyone in their organisations
and more cost-effective.
Early document management systems were developed to address the high value, mission
critical applications area, where customers were most willing to pay to solve problems. More
recently, personal document management solutions were built to address the inadequacies of
the OS-level file find function. Though useful, the limitations of these products have so far
restricted their market acceptance in the business environment.
The middle ground, where documents are mid- volume, mid-value and a mix of structured and
ad-hoc, has the broadest potential market for document management solutions and, to date,
has been underserved. This area is called Workgroup Document Management.
At the same time, in these offices, information exists in a variety of different formats, which
broadly segment into paper and electronic. While technology has rapidly increased the
number of electronic documents used within organisations, analysts confirm that 80% of all
information users interact with, still exists on paper. The ability to manage both seamlessly
defines the usefulness of document management systems.
At each step in the traditional document management process, substantial costs are incurred.
In recent years, shifts in office technology have made document management solutions
progressively simpler, cheaper and more efficient. But, while major progress has been made
in many areas, specific gaps remain. Most importantly, capture technology is not yet cheap
enough, easy enough or subject to accepted standards. Products that successfully address this
issue stand to benefit from a large market opportunity in Workgroup Document Management.
Thats where RSVs Network Office Appliance (NOA) comes into the play: it directly
addresses the Workgroup Document Management opportunity. In contrast to high-end
mission-critical document management solutions, the NOA will require minimal user
maintenance and administration, it will feature easy-to-use client functionality for simple and
quick information access and will scale to the needs of the workgroup. The resulting dramatic
reduction in the total cost of ownership offers NRG the chance to take an early lead in this
market.
The NOA-concept has materialised in an innovative product called eCabinet. The existing
version is widely recognised as a totally new approach that might change the office
environment dramatically. With a unique and modern design, eCabinet 1.1 and eCabinet 2.1
bring document capability to every office. However, market research and focus group
discussions have shown concern with the concept of eCabinet 1.1/2.1, especially with IT-
managers of larger companies.
If used effectively, eCabinet will hold large amounts of information, which although not
necessarily mission-critical, will still be very valuable for the company. This is why IT-
managers of larger companies have a requirement to manage eCabinet in a similar way to
2
eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
other data- and information manage ment services: mounted in a rack and integrated into a
secure, strictly managed environment (eg a server room).
eCabinet 2100 has been developed to target this market, offering larger companies not only an
easy-to- install, manage, use and scale solution for their organisations information sharing
needs, but also one that is fully integrated with their IT-environment.
Marketing Objectives
Establish NRGs position within the Document Management market by introducing an
easy to use, network-based, document storage and retrieval solution for server based
environments
Enhance the value of NRG office equipment with intelligent, networked storage and
retrieval management solutions that empower companies to make efficient and effective
use of their information.
Establish NRGs position as a company that can offer a Total Document Solution to the
IT environment.
Increase the value, turnover and profits per customer by capturing a larger share of the
document cycle.

eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
Product Overview
Concept
eCabinet is the first of the so-called Network Office Appliances. A Network Office Appliance
(NOA) can be characterised by three things :
Within the NOAs, eCabinet is more specifically an Information Appliance, since it will be
used by organisations to manage the information within their organisation more effectively.
The eCabinet is an intelligently designed software and hardware package that specifically
addresses the needs of both small businesses and the enterprise workgroup customer. In
contrast to existing, high-end, mission-critical document management solutions, eCabinet
requires minimal user maintenance and administration, features easy-to-use client
functionality for simple, quick information access and scales to the needs of the workgroup.
Most importantly, eCabinet addresses the capture and retrieval problem by leveraging
existing digital multi- functional peripheral technologies. In contrast to dedicated scanners and
high labour overhead required in traditional document management systems, eCabinet uses
enhanced MFPs, as well as network-attached scanners, faxes, printers, copiers and client
PCs to allow for simple, low-cost, unconscious and intuitive document capture.

eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
As a second- generation eCabinet, the eCabinet 2100 represents a perfect marriage between
form and function. The sleek architecture of the eCabinet 2100 measures just 1.75 in height
(1U), perfectly fitting your 19 data centre rack. Like its predecessor, the eCabinet 2100
allows you to capture, file, and retrieve effortlessly any file type from your networked office
peripherals. However, with an increased storage capacity of approximately 50 million
document pages, enhanced processing speeds, and scalability, youll find that the eCabinet
2100 will become both the centrepiece and cornerstone of your IT rack.
This model complements existing backup and storage implementations at your location.
Instead of including a DVD-RAM, this model comes standard with a CD-ROM drive for
system software installation and other software updates only. Using our new HTTP backup
functionality or an NFS server on your LAN, you can integrate the new eCabinet 2100 model
seamlessly into your existing IT infrastructure.
Most importantly, a key design strategy for eCabinet is to facilitate easy document capture
and retrieval by leveraging existing digital Multi-Function Product (MFP) technologies. In
contrast to the dedicated scanners and high labour overhead required in traditional document
management systems, eCabinet harnesses the power of enhanced MFPs, as well as network-
attached scanners, faxes, printers, copiers, and client PCs to allow for simple, low-cost
document information management.

eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
eCabinet Major Components
eCabineta dedicated thin server that stores captured documents from MFPs, from client
PCs, or from other sources (i.e. network-attached scanners, FAXes, printers, and copiers).
The eCabinet includes a keypad interface for easy network configuration and a DVD
read/write drive for off- line storage for the eCabinet or a CDROM for the eCabinet 2100.
The PC Capture softwarea program installed on a Windows-based PC that enables the
user to capture selected electronic documents, files, and archived Web pages to the
eCabinet.
A standard PC-based Web browser (i.e. Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet
Explorer)used to search the eCabinet for captured documents. Once found, the user can
retrieve a copy of the docume nt to his/her PC. Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 is also provided
in addition to the Web browser software (IE 5.5 and Netscape 4.61.)
Note: When retrieving more than one document at the same time, a .zip file is created so a
de-compression software such as WinZip is required.
Note: Users can also capture outgoing or incoming e- mail messages by sending them
directly to a user on the eCabinet.
Install eCabinet on your network, and then select the language to use for the interface. The
document database indexing, the browser-based user interface, the LCD display, and the
date and time will all correspond to both the language and conventions of the country
selected.
Note: If French is selected the date format used is the French date format and not the
Quebecois date format.

Backup and archiving of documents captured on the eCabinet takes place in one of the
following ways, or a combination of several of the following ways:
- Document Backup
eCabinet 2.x provides document security by automatically backing up all your documents
to a preferred secure storage media, including built- in, removable DVD*, on-site NFS,
encrypted Internet-based HTTP, and SEC compliant WORM media.
*Original eCabinet model only, not eCabinet 2100
Email Notification
eCabinet and eCabinet 2100 automatically alert via email about any problems it has capturing
or processing documents. By entering in an email address (or the address of an
administrator), emails will be automatically sent for certain eCabinet or eCabinet 2100 status
notifications including: DVD Full, DVD Insertion Required for Restore, and Backup Target.
eCabinet and eCabinet 2100 will continue to email daily until the problem has been resolved
and the task can be performed.

Centralized Data Sharing across Workgroups And Remote Offices - Data Replication
Data Replication allows both remote and local eCabinet 2.x users to exchange files easily by
automatically forwarding encrypted information from one eCabinet to a network of other
eCabinets. Multiple eCabinets can even be configured to replicate their data to just one
eCabinet, creating a central repository that authorized users can use to access all workgroup
documents. With a high level of fault tolerance, eCabinet 2.x provides the ideal solution for
the management and sharing of documents in an efficient yet secure manner.

eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
Because Data Replication can be used to create document identical eCabinets, it also provides
an easily accessed failsafe backup. Even in the event of a catastrophic worksite occurrence,
document management can continue uninterrupted by simply selecting a redundant eCabinet.
eCabinet with Data Replication easily provides multiple workgroups and remote offices with
both document distribution and data aggregation, coupled with a high level of fault tolerance.
The performance of the eCabinet cannot be measured by a single number. There are many
factors to be considered in order to determine the expected performance in a particular
scenario. The main factors that affect the performance of the eCabinet are:
The number of documents in the database
The number of simultaneous queries
The tasks that are being performed by the users, database access versus document
capture
The type of document that is being captured, whether or not it will be OCRd
The length of time that is deemed to be acceptable before captured documents are
available for use
The following is a list of performance numbers that can be used as a guideline for expected
levels of performance. This is meant as a calculation example and does not give the maximum
number of document that can be stored on the eCabinet.
Scheduled Optimisation
As eCabinet captures and files throughout the workday, information is added to the database
to be indexed and deciphered so documents are retrieved via full- text search. eCabinet focuses
9
eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
on this database during its once-a-day optimization, organizing them to keep the database
efficient. This optimized directory helps eCabinet to find the documents needed quickly.
During the optimization process, the document processing stops (documents captured during
this brief period are queued for later capture.) Also the optimization can be scheduled to affect
the fewest users.
User-Adjustable Indexing Rate lets users tailor eCabinets processing rate to match the rate of
documents captured to it on a daily basis.
Even if eCabinet is required to capture over 200 documents a day, per person, the Indexing
Rate can be set to Extremely High. On higher settings, documents take more time to become
available for retrieval, as eCabinet focuses on storing and processing documents.
Rule-Based Capture Control allows the user to create unique rules for each of the networked
peripherals connected to eCabinet. With Rule-Based Capture Control, it is possible to
assign captured documents automatically to an owner or group, a destination folder, add
keyword notes for simplified retrieval, and make sure that documents go where they need to
go.
By creating a rule for a fax machine, for example, all faxes from a certain phone number are
not only automatically assigned to a specific owner, they can also be transferred into an
eCabinet folder and eCabinet can alert the owner to its arrival via email. By simply
specifying a condition and the resulting actions, eCabinet helps taking control and managing
document overload.
User Interface
- User-Defined Folders
eCabinet 2.x has a hierarchical folder structure that allows folders nesting together,
creating more inclusive folders with smaller sub- groups. Document folder security is
assured because the folder administrator controls who has the read/write privileges,
and retrieval is faster and easier when custom fields have been designated for filing.
10
eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
A Search option lets a user quickly construct a search with the most frequently used
types of criteria.
A More Search Options page offers the full range of document information as possible
search criteria, such as title, time period, etc.
An Expert Search option allows for Boolean searches with nested expressions.
The results of a search appear in one of four possible types of view: List, Calendar, Stream,
and Thumbnail, each designed to provide a certain type of access to the set of found
documents; the first 2 give information on the document the last 2 on the date of capture.
With a simple command, a user can retrieve a copy of a found document to a PC, either in
native or text-only format for most types of documents.
Document distribution, as long as the recipients have document privileges, is as simple as
dragging and dropping links to the file from eCabinet to your desktop; they can be
embedded in email or stored to your local fileserver.
11
eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
eCabinets full-text searchable index uses the convenience of Web browsers to search for
automatically indexed and extracted document keyword notes, titles, summaries, owners,
source, dates of capture, and other related information. Document retrieval can be
personalized by entering in a summary and keyword notes for the index to store.
Another useful way to use keywords is to create folders on eCabinet that contain Custom
Fields. Custom fields are folder specific keywords that are automatically associated with
every item that is filed into that folder. They can be pre-selected and will appear in a
menu whenever an item is moved into that folder. A folder containing CVs, for example,
could contain pre-selected fields such as Key skills, Desired salary, or Years of
experience, enabling resums based on these custom field criteria to be found later.
PC Capture also allows pre-selection of keywords for documents. Any document sent to
eCabinet by PC Capture will contain keywords entered from the Default Document Info
menu as part of their metadata.
12
eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
CAUTION: It is recommended that no more than 2 dictionaries be invoked at any one time
in an operational environment because of potential performance impacts. Caere Corp.
developed the software used for the OCR.
Document meta information: document title, date of capture, date of creation, capture
source, notes, summary, and document owner. Title, notes, summary and owner are
editable fields.
Folder information. The eCabinet supports the creation of foldersspecial collections of
documents with user-defined custom and preferred fields. If a document has been added
to a folder, the information about it will include its folder membership and whatever
information the user has entered in the folder fields.
Fax, scanned and printer documents are ocrd and stored as tiff files. Email is stored as
.txt (attachments are stored in native format), and PC documents are captured and stored
in native format.
Note: Documents scanned, copied, or print captured at 600 dpi, are rendered at 300 dpi at the
time of capture on the eCabinet.
PC Capture, Outlook, and Internet Explorer plug- ins are available for download from either
the Web, at www.rsv.ricoh.com, or directly from eCabinets hard drive from the Home page
or the Help page.
Integration with other software
13
eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
14
eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
- Software Developers Kit (launch will happen separately)
eCabinet Software Developers Kit (SDK) is available for creating a customized front-
end to meet the unique needs of a company. Enabling the development of software
hooks, the SDK lets VARs, VADs, and end-users develop value-added software for
personalized document, metadata, and user or group control. (this is under review in
order to establish a good support system for this)
- Web Browser
eCabinets Web browser interface is platform independent, has built- in Internet Explorer
toolbar features, opens PC files automatically in their preferred editor, and enables the
distribution of documents by sharing the links, all from a familiar and intuitive interface.
Using Internet Explorer, it is possible to search eCabinet right from the browsers
toolbar. Recent document search histories are saved in a drop-down menu. (the toolbar is
only available in English)
- Outlook Integration
eCabinet is integrated with Microsoft Outlook, simplifying email management tasks.
Using the built-in Outlook toolbar, drag and drop emails directly into an eCabinet
folder, assign special Custom Fields or case number ID-based retrieval, create summary
and keyword notes, while eCabinet automatically indexes the text and creates a summary.
(integration probably only works with English Outlook)
- PC Capture
Windows-based localized PC Capture software lets the user capture documents from a PC
immediately or according to a regular capture schedule. Immediate capture can be
performed via a one-click method that allows the user to right-click a PC document to
send it to eCabinet or an eCabinet folder for indexing. When capturing a document, it is
possible to assign special custom fields for customer or case number ID-based retrieval,
create a summary and keyword annotations, while eCabinet automatically indexes the text
and creates a summary. It is also possible to capture immediately using the drag and drop
method that has default keyword and folder filing options, and is performed by simply
clicking on a document and dropping it onto the PC Capture icon on your desktop.
Create a capture schedule for a folder on your PC, to create a regular schedule for
automatic document capture. Only new documents or new versions of older documents
that have been added to the folder will be sent to eCabinet. It is also possible to create
custom fields, keyword notes, and summaries to be added to every document at capture.
15
eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
Document security
eCabinet has strong built- in security measures which prevent unauthorized access to both the
eCabinet UI (user interface) and the stored files, while still remaining flexible enough to
allow users various ways in which to access to their documents.
These various levels of access ensure that the security of sensitive files is not compromised,
and yet documents can still be shared with ease.
Account/passwordevery user must have an account and password to access the
eCabinet and search for documents.
Ownershipcaptured documents can have an individual or a group owner. (A group is a
defined set of individual users.) A user can only search for and find documents he/she
owns, documents that are owned by a group he/she belongs to, or documents that are
public. (Conversely, an owner can classify a captured document as public and then
anyone can find it, but only the owner of a public document can modify the document.
Also document administrators can see/modify all documents on the eCabinet, by default
users belonging to the eCabinet NetAdmin group have document administration rights.)
Note: If the capture control rules are not set, a document could have an unknown user. Also
by default, a new printer has unknown as the owner of the documents sent to that printer on
eCabinet.
The eCabinet system integrates directly into an existing local area network (e.g. Ethernet
10/100BaseT). Field service (e.g. NRG or channel), personnel (or optionally the end user),
performs the installation, which is comparable in effort to the installation of a network-
connected printer.
The eCabinet requires no software installation and provides a keypad interface for direct
network configuration.
An easy-to-use wizard is provided for installation of the PC Capture software.
The installation should also include setting up the peripherals to send documents to
eCabinet, such as automatic email forward, or capture of all faxes.
Administration
The settings screen allows the administrator to perform numerous tasks including: set time
and date; change administrator passwords; create other administrators; create users and
groups; create folders; edit users; add new users; set capture control; set replication; set up
printers; configure network settings; change language dictionaries; manage backups; set
backup location; set up backup settings; recover data; recover eCabinet settings (set at
installation time) and set privileges.

eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
Competition
The term Document Management has become a catch all term that attempts to describe any
thing and everything that can be done to a document once it is in an electronic format. In
general terms, there are six basic functions that are traditionally associated with Document
Management Systems (DMS):
Capture, OCR and indexing, search and retrieval of typical office documents
Special document management (forms, bar codes, drawings, etc.)
Collaboration, library services (check in/out), versioning and annotation
Work flow and document distribution/routing
Archival and alternative back up solutions
Integration with legacy systems and other applications ( databases, Lotus Notes, MS
Exchange, SAP, etc)
All applications have some form of capturing or importing documents. This is the most basic
document management function. However, few of the popular DMS applications provide a
complete capture solution.
When compared to other DM systems the eCabinet will almost always have competitive
advantages associated with capturing documents. Many competitors lack the ability to capture
or schedule the capture of documents automatically. This is an important point, since the most
vocal critics of DMS claim that requiring people to change their standard work habits is the
one largest factor that limits the usefulness of DMS. Unless all documents are effortlessly
captured, i.e. without manual intervention, it is next to impossible to maintain an accurate and
complete document database. Furthermore, most competitive systems are ill equipped to
capture paper documents. The standard solution is to require the end user to scan all hard
copy documents and then route them to the appropriate storage destination.
Since most all DMS are custom installations, designed to meet each users specific needs, the
complexity and functionality can vary widely from one installation to another. Similarly,
prices vary wildly. An entry- level DM application, which only supports capture, of electronic
documents, basic search and retrieval can be licensed for Euro 500 per seat. A custom
enterprise level system with all the above mentioned functions can cost well over Euro
1,000,000. The eCabinet was not intended to be a fully functional Document Management
system. It was designed to simplify the document capture and indexing process while at the
same time, making the task of document storage and retrieval simple and effortless. In reality,
it does provide the same functionality of several DM solutions. And generally, the eCabinet is
priced lower than systems of equal functionality. It is true that many of the so-called
enterprise level systems provide much more sophisticated tools. However, the purchase
price, as well as the cost of ownership, is often ten times higher than the eCabinet solution.
Another strong competitive advantage lies in the eCabinets appliance implementation. The
eCabinet solution can be integrated into an existing network environment in a matter of hours.
Most other solutions require extensive programming (often resulting in extensive consulting
fees), complicated and drawn out installations, and in some cases, network configuration
modifications. The eCabinet is simply attached to the network. Furthermore, the maintenance
of an appliance type solution is minimal as compared to custom document management
installations.
There are four DMS that compete somewhat directly with the eCabinet: Xerox DocuShare,
Hummingbirds PC DOCS, CyLex I-DOX and DocuWare. A brief summary of each has
been included. It should also be noted that there are many more that fall into the enterprise
17
eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
level category and are therefore not really considered direct competitors. Brief summaries of
Documentum 4i eBusiness Edition, OTG XtenderSolutions and FileNet can also be found in
this chapter.
Finally, it has to be recognised that competitors are developing similar products. Xerox, for
one, is expected to launch a product in the next 6 to 9 months as well, while similar activities
can be expected from Canon. Therefore, it is important to keep first-mover advantage.
XEROX DOCUSHARE
There are 3 versions offered of DocuShare: Basic, Office and Enterprise. All three versions
have capture capability that is limited to electronic files that are accessible via a web browser.
To add capture capability from MFPs, printers and scanners, the Xerox FlowPort software is
required.
The Basic version, priced at $1,395 for a 25 seat license and basic server software, is browser
based and is not integrated with MS Windows/Office. Further, it has limited security and is
not customisable. The Office version adds MS Office integration, expanded security and
customisation. The price for a 500 seat license and the Office server software is $14,995. The
Enterprise level package is $44,995 for the server software and unlimited seats and offers
easy integration with enterprise level applications such a Oracle databases.
Note: Server hardware and FlowPort software not included in these prices.
The optional FlowPort Document distribution and transformation software offers enhanced
email/messaging, workflow and document management capabilities. It reduces bottlenecks
associated with paper intensive operations by merging paper documents using network
office equipment such a Xerox Document Centre (copier/scanner/printer MFP) and Internet
fax machines. It captures and integrates paper documents into a digital workflow for future
access, retrieval and distribution. This software is required for capturing paper documents
into the DocuShare Knowledge Sharing software. It adds $7,000 per server to the price of
DocuShare. Note: FlowPort must run on a separate server.
Competitive Advantages:
Collaboration and version control
Automatic notification, via email, when content is updated or added
Ability to store documents in multiple repositories (Lotus Notes, MS Exchange, iManage,
etc.)
Simultaneous search of multiple servers
Can save complex or frequently used queries
Competitive Disadvantages:
Price: While the Basic version is very inexpensive, its functionality is quite limited. To
achieve functionality comparable to an eCabinet, the price is approximately $27,000.
Granted, the high price tag does have the collaboration and sharing features that are not
available on the eCabinet.

CYLEX, INC
CyLex Inc. is selling i- DOX, a document management solution service (ASP model) that
looks suspiciously like a subset of the Documentum product (Ttis would make sense
considering that Documentum is a major investor in CyLex.). With the i- DOX service, you
can store text, graphics, scanned images, even sound and digital movies, in a dedicated
Document vault. The service includes full text search (Verity compatible file types only)
and Meta data searching, however, the user must manually create the Meta data for each and
every document. Other features include library services for collaboration (documents check
in/out), version control, and annotation.
A release and upload script is used to capture documents, convert them into XML format
and export them to the i-DOX vault. The capture sources include PCs, file servers and Kofax
scanners, however, documents must be manually captured. Imported documents are OCRd
and indexed for future retrieval. CyLex utilises the latest encryption and verification
techniques to ensure the security of your documents. EMC provides the storage infrastructure
and the retrieval technology.
CyLex has just signed a technology and marketing agreement with ePage Solutions
(Electronic Page Solutions, Inc.), a leading software developer in the Electronic Statement
Presentment (ESP) industry. ePage Solutions provides print data stream transformation
products that transform mainframe data to .pdf files. They will also create an XML release
script that will enable .pdf content to be uploaded to the i-DOX back-end solution. The
resulting solution will enable end- users of legacy systems to use CyLexs ASP-enabled
document management solution for electronic statement presentment.
Competitive Advantages:
Collaboration and version control
Annotation
Remote storage location
Access via internet from any location
Supports relatively high volumes of documents
No capital equipment investment: low cost for low volumes of document transactions
Competitive Disadvantages:
No automatic capture procedure
No capture procedure for copied documents
Meta data must be manually created
No document level permissions

PC DOCS
The PC DOCS suite of products were developed and sold by PC DOCS Group International, a
Canadian company that was acquired by Hummingbird in 1999. Hummingbird, also a
Canadian company, has a several other enterprise software solutions that provide access to
all business-critical information and resources, aggregated and categorised through a single
user interface. Hummingbird offers these global enterprise solutions through the desktop and
the Web using Hummingbird Enterprise Portal Suite, the cornerstone of the firm's e-Business
solutions. Solutions include host access /network connectivity, data transformation and
integration, data mining, knowledge management, structured data base management tools, and
analytical solutions for telecoms, financial institutions and health care industries.
Their mainstream document management product is PCDOCS. The basic enterprise suite
offers document management, imaging and routing capabilities. The three main components
of the DOCS Enterprise Suite are:
DOCS Open A client-server product enabling users to store, locate and manage
information across a wide range of platforms and networks.
DOCS Imaging Tightly integrated Windows-based client to full DOCSFusion document
management functionality.
DOCS Routing Which enables the routing of documents for review, comment addition,
and status checking.
Other options include modules for linking, managing and publishing collections of
documents, access for users who are not connected to the network, integration with Lotus
Notes databases and ME Exchange public folders, and an application for mid-sized law
offices.
On the surface, the PCDOCS suite would appear to be a strong competitor to eCabinet. They
certainly cover a wide range of document management aspects. Of particular concern, from a
competitive perspective, is their ability to do workflow (e.g. versioning and routing). The key
differentiator between the eCabinet approach and PCDOCS is in the capture area. While
eCabinet has the ability to capture documents automatically from a number of network-
attached peripherals (scanners, Faxes, copiers and printers), PCDOCS, like many other
competitors must rely on the availability of electronic documents, or must input documents
via manual scanning operations.
In the area of pricing, eCabinet has some advantages. Based on a typical scenario (e.g. a 50
user work group), PCDOCS would cost in the neighbourhood of $22,450.
In September of 2000 Hummingbird announced the introduction of a new client served based
DM system, along with an aggressive program to migrate existing PCDOCS customers to its
new three-tiered document management products. The product effectively provides the same
functionality as the entire PC DOCS suite, however, it is delivered more as a complete
solution, as opposed to a core product with many add on options.
22
eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
There are three components of new product:
The three-tier suite is strongly integrated with Hummingbird Enterprise Portal Suite. Further,
it can be easily combined with Hummingbirds existing Knowledge Management tools. The
Fulcrum KnowledgeServer suite allows users to access disparate information repositories in a
single query. Supported repositories include Lotus Notes, MS Exchange and popular
databases. Hummingbird also offers a Storage Management Solution (SMS). The
ImageBASIC SMS (Windows NT-based) supports magneto-optical jukeboxes with RAID
cache, or RAID-only systems and can be integrated into vertical applications with as few as
six lines of code.
It would appear that Hummingbird is narrowing their strategic focus to Information Portals;
they continue to customise their technologies and products to meet the needs of very large
eBusiness enterprises. If their main focus is aimed at supporting large enterprise Information
Portals, one might question how much attention will be given to supporting future versions of
client-server document management solutions.

Positioning
eCabinet 2100 is NRGs first rack- mountable network office appliance. It provides superior
document consolidation, comprehensive digital indexing, and straightforward retrieval for
both paper and electronic documents. These documents may be captured from various sources
on the network, such as printers, fax machines, copiers, PCs and scanners.
Target Customers
Workgroups of 10 to 50 employees
Information intensive companies or departments
Small businesses and corporate departments
Server based environments within small to medium sized companies
Rackmount Desktop
Financial Director Financial Director
Office Manager IT Manager
Purchase Manager Office Manager
IT Manager Purchase Manager
The target DMU for the rackmounted version of eCabinet is different to the standard,
DeskTop version. All Marcoms and PR material will therefore focus on targeting the
Financial Director & IT Manager, rather than Financial Director & Office Manager.
Obviously this change in DMU will also require sales people to target a slightly different
market.
33
eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
Target Markets
Target Channels
eCabinet will be sold mainly through the direct sales channel. In the mid-term eCabinet might
create an opportunity to develop Value-Added-Reseller and Systems Integrator Channels.
Sales Approach
eCabinet is an application for which a single selling strategy is hard to define: every
application in every vertical market will require a different approach, which is application-
driven. Experience in other markets has shown that in order to sell the eCabinet successfully it
is required to focus quickly on certain, well-defined applications. The in-built flexibility of
the eCabinet might lead one to sell it in a very broad area of applications, but this will lead to
the customers expectations being wrong and too high.
Vertical markets:
Financial institutions - contract management;
Logistics companies shipping documents;
Legal companies - contracts;
Government organisations personnel files;
Insurance companies - policies;
Construction firms drawings and designs;
Application areas:
Marketing departments advertising designs;
Human Resource departments - personnel files;
Logistics departments shipping documents;
Invoicing invoice archiving
These areas will have to be exploited with specific applications for each area. In MIDAS
successful stories of other markets will be shared.

Disadvantage: one-off deal with limited follow-up and customer lock-in;
Rent/lease it as a box:
Advantage: customer lock- in;
Disadvantage: not usage-driven
Just rent the usage, while keeping the eCabinet off-site (Application Service Provider
concept):
Advantage: best possible returns and usage of resources;
Disadvantage: very hard to implement, while concept is relatively new
However, for Operating Companies, the eCabinet will also be an important source for extra
revenue streams:
Delivery & Installation: connecting the device to the network and installation of the PC-
capture software on each client-PC;
Training: users and administrators on the use of the solution;
Support: support packages like the ones common in the IT- industry can be provided with
eCabinet;
Consultancy: based on the specific application for a specific company, eCabinet can be
configured differently (keywords, search patterns, etc.). In the future:
o configurations per vertical market can be defined, thereby creating a pre-
configured tool or
o with the SDK that comes with the software, integration with other systems within
a customers organisation can be realised.

Applications
eCabinet serves the needs of departmental workgroups in corporations and smaller companies
and is optimised to support up to 50 employees. These customers are poorly served by
today's document management systems that are either too simplistic or far too complex and
expensive to set up and use for day-to-day document handling needs. With eCabinet,
customers will finally have an office information management solution that lets them easily
access and exchange paper and electronic documents without disrupting their existing
workgroup or business environments.
However, given the flexibility of the applications for eCabinet, it becomes very hard to sell it:
customers will need more and better defined applications that relate to their
environment/business model. eCabinet will require a vertical marketing approach in order
to be sold. The following is a table of top target organisations/industries and likely usage:
Financial Audit Reports, Financial Statements, *Store duplicate and triplicate copies of documents. *Frees clerical staff to focus on more valuable tasks
Proposals/Agreements, Invoices/Receipts, Tax and reduces need for additional staff

configure the eCabinet address and reset the system
There are two other types of administrators set by the eCabinet administrator:
Folder Administrators: can create edit and/or delete group and user-owned folders.
Document Administrators : a so called Super User that has full rights to search for and
retrieve all captured documents, regardless of the access rights that have been assigned by the
document owners.

Additional Information
Batch Scanning with Kofax Ascent
eCabinet works seamlessly with Kofax Ascent to provide sophisticated batch scan
processing capabilities. Ascent Capture enables the user to verify scanned documents,
validate extracted data, index them for later retrieval, design keyword notes and custom
fields at time of capture for easy document retrieval, and route them directly into folders
on eCabinet. Ascent Capture automatically identifies forms and performs highly accurate
recognition of handwriting (ICR), machine print (Accents OCR automatically overrides
eCabinets own OCR functions), check marks (OMR), and bar codes to extract even the
toughest data from scanned images with no problem. With the addition of Ascent Capture
Internet Server, remote offices can easily scan documents for processing at a central
location, saving time and shipping costs and eliminating the possibility of lost documents.
This software is available in Europe and may be launched as a +Partner in the future.

CPMR308/b Product Information Guide
The CPMR308/b is the direct replacement for the current CPMR306/b series machines, which is
positioned at the low-end of our CopyPrinter Product Range. We will be launching both A4
(selected markets only) and B4 versions. First production is July 2000, with final production of
CPMR306/bs in June 2000. All models are built in Korea.
The CPMR308/b is based upon the same engine and chassis as the current CPMR306 that we are
selling, with the following significant improvements:
Although the engine is the same as the old CPMR306/b, supplies are being modified to prevent
skating. NRG CPMR308/b Black Ink and Masters will only fit NRG CPMR308/bs.
A full PIG has not been created for this model as the basic product has not changed, and target
markets etc remain the same.

CPMR308/b Product Information Guide
Positioning Objective
Ricoh introduced the CPMR306/b into overseas markets in the second half of 1998. Through
competitive specifications and a good price/performance ratio, the CPMR306/b has contributed to
increasing our business in the low-end segment, throughout the world.
Aiming at further expansion of our business and specification advantages over competitors, the
CPMR308/b has been developed as the successor to our current, best selling model, the
CPMR306/b. Some basic features, such as maximum printing speed and paper feeding capability
are enhanced, and some new features, such as image rotation and energy saving mode have been
added.
These items are designed to support Product Managers of the operating companies to launch the
CPMR308/b to their sales people and the market and to be used as selling tools by the sales people
of the operating companies.
