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.

DMR15S/18S/18D Product Information Guide
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.

Key Features, Advantages and Benefits

Separate Toner, Developer and Drum

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.

Reduced warm-up time

The warm- up time for the DMR15S/18S/18D is 25 seconds compared to 40 seconds for the Stinger
series.

model

Less Installation Time

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.

Easy Jam Recovery

When the side door is opened, the gears at the fusing roller get released allowing for the paper to be
easily removed.

High Productivity

One to one copy speed is the same as continuous copy speed.


DMR15S DMR18S/18D
Continuous copy speed 15 cpm 18 cpm
One to One copy speed 15 cpm 18 cpm

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:

Digital Machines Analogue Machines


Sharp AR161 Canon NP6317
Canon GP160 Toshiba 1550
Minolta Di181 Xerox 5815
Mita Vi150/155 Minolta EP1054
Sharp AR150/155 Kyocera-Mita DC1560
Xerox DC214 Konica 1216
Toshiba DP1600
Minolta Di115
Canon Image Class 2200 Series

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.

Kingfisher Stinger Kir

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.

DMR15S/18S/18D Product Information Guide

Target Markets

Identifying Target Markets

The DMR15S/18S/18D is targeted at the following markets.


Replacing existing analogue or first generation digital machines in small offices of 1 to 4 people
with copy/print demands of less than 4000 pages per month.
Mid to large offices as a workgroup fax or division printer.
Mid to large offices as personal all- in-one multi- function product.

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.

Service Plan

Service Concepts

1. Firmware (ROM) files will be distributed via the WEB Server for download to flash memory
cards.
2. To allow for easier handling of machine data, the NVRAM data can be downloaded to a flas h
memory card for temporary storing and then uploaded to the machine again if necessary.
3. Parts replacement times are reduced.
4. Easier PM parts replacement.
5. Easier removal of mechanical units (e.g. fusing unit, Laser unit, photoconductor unit.)
6. Reduced number of PM parts.
7. Relatively long base PM interval (60k copies).
8. When the fax option is installed, it is possible to perform fax parameter adjustments and counter
value checks using future remote diagnostics system (RDS).
9. It is possible to transmit the system parameter list both manually and automatically.

Printer utility for Mac

This software provides several convenient functions for printing from Macintosh clients. This utility
was originally bundled with MFPs controller options and LPs that supports Adobe PostScript3, and
is installed into Apple Macintosh Clients connected to the MFPs and LPs through EtherTalk
network. Therefore, K-C1 not having Adobe Genuine Postscript, this feature will not be fully
supported. By using this software, Macintosh customers can download PS fonts/files to printers
memory, change Printer Name/Zone etc.

Note: Mac is a trademark of Apple Computer Inc. in several countries. When this utility name is
used in leaflet, catalogue or other materials, the following description must be added.

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.

Key Product Attributes

Large LCD Panel.


Document Server with 10GB HDD
600 DPI Printing
Much improved warm-up times.
Greater productivity.
GW architecture delivering fully configured MFPs at a far lower price.

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.

Key Features, Advantages and Benefits

Large Touch Screen LCD

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.

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.

Improved Fax Capability

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
and G4 (ISDN) are installed.

Quick Dial Maximum of 1200 numbers


Conventional fax machines usually have a quick dial feature limited to a maximum of 56 since these use a
hard key for quick dials. The touch screen on the DMR35A/45A allows this maximum to be increased to
400, and even 1200 with the JBIG option.

5
DMR35A/45A Product Information Guide
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.

This software is called PC-Fax.

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.

Document Server for the DMR55A/70A


Input Storage Output

1. Copy HDD Printing


2. Printer
4.3GB

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.

DMR35A/45A Product Information Guide
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.

Shorter Warm-up Times

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.

New Toner Bottle


DMR35A/45A employs new toner bottle using environment-friendly material.

This toner bottle :


1. uses PET as its base material which is not only thin but strong enough.
2. is almost half the weight compared with the current Ricoh toner bottle,
which makes it possible to contribute still further to resource conservation.

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.

This has a number of key advantages.

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.

New Printer Language RPCS


RPDL is a new printer language developed by Ricoh. It is faster than HP's PCL XL language and has a
very easy-to-use graphical interface. The driver interface is very graphical and is based around the principle
of one click. Users no longer have to go through numerous screens to arrange their settings - they can
save their settings as icons, so that all they need do is click on the relevant icon. Further information can be
found on RPCL Sales Handbook in section 11. Please note that RPCS does not support LEF from the
bypass tray as this causes jams.

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.

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.

Target Markets

Identifying Target Markets

The DMR35A/45A is aimed at the following markets.


The small workgroup in a small/medium sized office (35cpm) and a workgroup in a medium sized
office (45cpm). Both of these groups would be looking to replace an analogue or a first generation
digital copier.
Customers who are already used to the principle of multifunctionality and who are looking for a
machine with a lower cost of options.
Replacement of a conventional fax machine in a large office.
The increased hard-drive capacity allows us to offer the DMR35A/45A as a core document
solution MFP in the large office.

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 (CRD environment only): ease of use, productivity, finishing and quality and
Financial manager: total cost of ownership and future-proof investment.

DMR35A/45A Product Information Guide

Service Plan
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

ADVANTAGES FOR SERVICE ACTIVITIES

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:

Warm-up Time: Recovery


Time:
DMR35A 85 sec 15 sec (Basic Model) 83sec 10 sec
(as compared to the DMR35) 85 sec 18 sec (Printer/Scanner Model)
DMR45A 100 sec 20 sec 98 sec 15 sec
(as compared to the DMR45)

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.

Accessories Tab

The Accessories screen is used to configure optional devices installed on the printer. The installed options
can be configured regardless of the bi-directional communication capability.

The installed accessories are checked in the list, and displayed in the graphics on the left. Available
accessories change by model. Installation of an accessory enables certain capabilities and selections in the
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:

High Speed data transmission 400/200/100Mbps


Easy connection Hot PnP
Easy handling Thin cable (around 5.5mm in diameter)

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.

Connecting Cable & Connector


IEEE1394 cable is simple and flexible like USB cable.
There are 2 types of IEEE1394 cables in the market. One is 6 wires with 6-pin connector, and the other
is 4 wires with 4-pin connector.
The Picture 1 below shows the cable structure of 6 wires cable and its diameter is 5.5mm. The 4 wires
cable does not have 2 Electric wires and is used for digital video and digital camera etc. (diameter is 4mm).

Network Style Topology

Two ways are available for network style of IEEE1394: Daisy Chain and Node Branch. The Daisy
Chain style allows users to connect a maximum of 16 nodes (machines which have 1394 port), and the
maximum cable length is 4.5m (between each device). Node branch style allows users to connect a
maximum of 63 nodes (physically possible node address). (See Picture 3)
Also, Hot-plug-in is available. With it, users can connect & pull out the cable while the machine is working.

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.

Marketing Objectives of new Products

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

The Wide Format market in Europe continues to be affected by 2 trends:

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.

European market overview

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.

Total 12,635 11,300 10,837 -4%
Digital % 35% 38% 45%
(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.

the digital and the analogue technology.
2. Ricoh as a manufacturer performs very well in the analogue category (No.2
position)
3. Ricoh is in others in the digital technology because they have not launched a
Ricoh manufactured product.

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.

DMRA07 Product Information Guide
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.

Consultant Wide Format Printing Systems


Strategic Major Accounts Group

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.

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.

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.

Problems with Diazo:

Can only use translucent originals


Environmentally unfriendly, requiring special chemicals
Needs reasonably experienced user to get good results
Diazo copies need to be frequently re-copied
Diazo paper, though cheap, has a limited shelf life
No paste ups, duplex originals, or writing on the back possible
Many diazo copies include greyscales, because the diazo technology allows this

Key Copy Quality problems that users face include:

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.

A070 is one of the easiest copiers in the world to use:

Touch Screen LCD Control Panel the same as an normal office copier
Original side guides
Flange roll paper setting
Manual or Automatic original feed
Most productive
Speedy warm up time (2 minutes)

15
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.

Flange-type Roll Paper Setting

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.

Manual or Automatic Original Feeding

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.

16
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.

Overview

Mission

Accelerate AD conversion
The needs of wide format users are now moving to electronic formats such as CAD.
The target of Printer controller Type RW- 470 is to accelerate Analogue to Digital
conversion of Wide Format products and offer Wide Format users high quality printing,
scanning and archiving solutions.

Replace wide-format inkjet plotters


Printer Controller Type RW-470 will enable Dolphin to replace wide- format plotters. One of
the most popular wide format printing device is ink jet plotters.
But most of the inkjet plotters take minutes to print out 1 page of A1/D size document.
In contrast the A070 will offer high productivity of 7ppm(A1/E) output with 600dpi crisp
image quality and also save cost by using toner instead of expensive ink cartridges.

Positioning of Dolphin

Please refer to the Mainframe PIG for A070 positioning.

RW-470 is developed by Ratio, a German company, which has much experience in wide
format plotter development. They also provide a wide range of scanning and software
solutions.

The colour printer market grew by 42% in 1998


End user prices are massively eroded
Distinct categories are now established both vertically (home and professional markets)
and horizontally (inkjet, electrophotographic and thermal transfer markets).
The thermal transfer market is being squeezed out
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.

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.

OHP Mode / Thick Paper Mode

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:

PCR5P Product Information Guide

Media Type Full Colour Print Speed Mono Print Speed


A4 paper 5 ppm 17 ppm
A3 paper 2.5ppm 11 ppm
OHP (A4) 1.1ppm 1.6 ppm
Thick media (A4) 2.3ppm 3.8 ppm

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.

Visual Colour Calibration (VisualCal Calibration)

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.

1. The user sees a number of colour patches surrounded by a grey background.


2. The grey background is printed with pure black ink only.
3. The patches are printed with CMY inks.
4. One of these patches shows the user the current grey balance calibration of the engine.
5. If the current CMY grey of the engine does not match the background, the user picks a
different colour patch that better matches the surrounding grey.
6. The row and column numbers of the patch are inputted through the front panel.

Visual Colour Adjustment

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.

PCR5P Product Information Guide

Colour Management System

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 :

Standard Colour Management Components

Component Description Location / Platforms


PostScript colour CRDs optimized for photos, In controller ROM /
rendering graphics, presentation objects; Flash
Dictionaries paper / transparency media types
Press simulation control Lookup tables to simulate Controller SRAM
Density characteristics of
Offset printing processes
Device profiles ColorSync 2/ICM profiles Macintosh / Windows
Compatible with Macintosh and 95
Windows colour management
systems
Compression Method

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.

Page Description Typical Compression

PCR5P Product Information Guide

Hard Disk Drive (optional)

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.

Other features of WebTools (WebStatus, WebLink, WebDownloader, WebSetup) are


available even without the hard disk.

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).

Requirements are as follows:


TCP/IP-enabled network with valid IP address for the printer
TCP/IP-enabled client workstation with valid IP address
Internet browser that supports Java and frames (such as Netscape Communicator v4.06 or
Microsoft Internet Explorer v4.x) installed on client workstation.

The Fiery Web Tools include:


Fiery Web Status
Fiery Web Spooler (Available only with the Hard Disk Drive)
Fiery Web Link
Fiery Web Down loader (Not supported for Macintosh)
Fiery Web Setup (Not supported for Macintosh)

11
PCR5P Product Information Guide

Fiery Web Status


This utility allows the user to monitor the Fierys basic spooling (if available), RIPping and
printing status while using a minimum of monitor space. This utility polls the printer every 20
seconds and displays the current RIPping and Printing information.

Fiery Web Spooler


This utility displays greater detail than the Status. It allows the user to manipulate jobs
(duplicating / copying / deleting held or printed jobs) on the Fiery and allows the user access
to the Fiery Job Log (status, document name, user name, file size, media type, number of
colour pages, number of B & W pages, total number of pages, number of originals, PDL).
This utility can only be used when the printer has a hard disk drive.

Fiery Web Link


Selecting the Web Link button will link the user to a remote WWW site in a new Browser
window, provided the Internet Browser is connected to the Internet.

Fiery Web Down loader (Not supported for Macintosh)


This utility allows the user to send a PostScript or PCL file from a personal computer to the
printer without first opening the file in another application. Downloading PostScript Type 1
fonts and Adobe Type 1 fonts is also available.

Fiery Web Setup (Not supported for Macintosh)


This utility allows a user to view and modify remotely the printer configuration in a graphical
environment.

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.

Market Situation

On-Demand Colour Printing


The most obvious use for colour printers may be to spruce up black/white documents,
however, these machines can also offer an alternative to commercial printing. Instead of
having colour brochures printing on an offset machine, a user could start producing them on a
just-in-time basis on their own laser machine.

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).

End user prices are massively eroded.

Distinct categories are now established both vertically (home and professional markets)
and horizontally (inkjet, electrophotographic and thermal transfer markets).

The thermal transfer market is being squeezed out.

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.

Thermal Transfer Printers

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.

Colour Page Printers

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.

Colour Laser Printers moving up to Connected Colour


Copier Market
Traditionally, digital colour copiers have offered faster speeds than desktop colour printers
and more sophisticated paper handling. However, now some of the latest single-function
laser printers are giving them a run for their money:

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.

Laser Printers: Colour Basics

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 Laser Class Alternative

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

How Important is Resolution?

The best way to judge print quality is simply to look at it.

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 and Continuous Tone

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.

True High Resolution

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.

PCR5P Product Information Guide

Laser Printers: Operating Costs


In the colour market, numerous variables can enter into a cost-per-page analysis. For
example, the cost of a printed page depends not only on the size of the image area, but on the
colour mix and the type of image being printed. A number of vendors use their idea of a
standard page, on which they base their page-cost figures. The problem is that all standards
are different. Therefore, when comparing costs, do not just rely on the figures provided in the
promotional material from the vendors.

Better Buys for Business

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.

Laser Printers: More About Features

PostScript

PostScript is whats known as a page description language it is software that resides


within the printer that governs the way in which the machine handles instructions from the
computer.

A customer using serious desktop publishing programs (Adobe PageMaker, QuarkXPress,


etc.) and graphics programs (Adobe Illustrator), definitely needs 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.

Memory and Processors

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.

Interfaces and Network Connectivity

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.

The drivers of the colour page market in 1998 were:


1. Continued and increased network saturation. As users on the network gain access to
additional output devices they typically utilise them more. The opportunity of printing in
colour drives the need.
2. Perceived need to print in colour to conform and be up to date. Particularly important in
internal corporate applications such as finance, marketing and sales.
3. Hardware/ Capital investment cost falling. Down 25% in 1998 versus 1997 automatically
means more buyers.
4. Information sources. As input to documents comes more and more from electronic
sources, i.e. digital camera, scanner, web, the need to print in colour increases.

Whats driving the channel map?


1. The Players the top four players in 1998 captured 74% of the market (Tektronix, HP,
QMS, Lexmark). All are traditional printer players with a history and experience in two
tier through distributors and two tier to VARs.
2. Hardware price down = margins are squeezed and two tier is most cost effective method
for vendors.

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:

Direct Salesforce Actions

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

Indirect Channel Actions

For our current office equipment dealers


Develop those colour dealers who are capable of moving to networked products and
progress them from Colour Solutions towards printers
For competitor's OA dealers who already sell Colour Solutions and printers
Focus to switch them to our product range by offering a more complete and
competitive lineup.
Sell the opportunity to achieve greater hardware margins and more secure supplies
revenue from our printer products compared to their current printer suppliers
The IT dealer channel including VARs
Recruit dealers from the IT channel through our unique offering:
Increased hardware margins
Secure after-sales supplies and service revenue
Access to a full product range of Colour Solutions and printers

Key Selling Points


High Speed Printing

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.)

High Image Quality


600dpi x 600dpi

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.

PCR5P Product Information Guide

Versatile Paper Handling

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.

A3 Full bleed printing on A3 oversize paper

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.

High Image Quality on heavier media

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.

Compact Footprint

C7005p has a surprisingly small footprint for an A3 printer when compared against the
competition.

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.

Firmware and Labels

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.

PCR5P Product Information Guide

5. On the Version Info display, press the Menu key to select the Change OEM
Default display.
6. Press the Enter / # key and select the desired brand: NRG, Nashuatec, Rex-Rotary or
Gestetner from the sub menu.
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
Aficio brand.
10. Re-package printer.
11. Please note: It is estimated by CSS, that the method outlined above will take
approximately 20-25 minutes per machine, if this can be done in batch handling.

PCR6 Product Information Guide

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

Page Description Language


IPDL-C

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.

PostScript Level 2

PostScript Level 2 is a clone developed by Ricoh that supports the same applications as true
Adobe PostScript Level 2
PostScript Interpreter Standard in base, PS2
Roman Fonts 39

Ricoh has developed its own fonts, so these fonts are not compatible with that of

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:

The continued decrease in the cost of acquisition


New models with faster print speeds and improved paper- handling capabilities
A3 colour stimulated new applications
Average selling prices decreased as a result of lower-cost models and increased
competition
An increasing number of documents became available in electronic form
Continued widespread use of colour at home
Colour as a competitive advantage

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.

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

PCR6W/DW Product Information Guide

Fast first print speed

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.

(Please note: The competitive figures for QMS330, Phaser780, Xerox-4LP,


EpsonLP8000C 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. )

Fast continuous print speed

F/C: 6ppm, B/W: 24 ppm


The PCR6W/PCR6DW continuous print speed (F/C: 6ppm, B/W:24ppm) is faster
than the PCR5W and several other competitors models.

Improved warm-up time

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.

PCR6W/DW Product Information Guide

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.

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.

Improved Image Quality

600dpi x 600dpi
(1800dpi x 600dpi equivalent)
2 bit/pixel data processing

1800dpi x 600dpi equivalent image quality is realised thanks to the following


technologies:

Improved line frequency

PCR5W PCR6W/PCR6DW
Photograph 106 lpi 180 lpi
Graphics 106 lpi 106 lpi
Text 211 lpi 268 lpi

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.

7
PCR6W/DW Product Information Guide

Graphics
Line frequency remains the same as the PCR5W to avoid unevenness in solid images.

Text
Line frequency is improved from 211lpi to 268lpi to realise sharper text images.

Different dither patterns


With the PCR6W/PCR6DW, a different dither pattern has been employed to realise a
smoother print image.

Colour targets
Targets more natural colouring closer to PC image display.

Moderate glossy image


Glossy ratio is reduced compared to the PCR5W. Black text printing is pleasant to
the eyes.

Page Description Language

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:

The continued decrease in the cost of acquisition


New models with faster print speeds and improved paper- handling capabilities
A3 colour stimulated new applications
Average selling prices decreased as a result of lower-cost models and increased
competition
An increasing number of documents became available in electronic form
Continued widespread use of colour at home
Colour as a competitive advantage

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
Solutions as print only devices for the General Office.

PMR26/N Product Information Guide

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.

Marketing Communication Objectives

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.

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.

Challenges for our network printer business

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.

Controller Overview

The PMR26/N has a new controller design with a 200MHz RM5231 processor. It has 32MB RAM as
standard and one optional RAM slot capable of taking a 64MB SDRAM DIMM to give a maximum
memory capacity of 96MB. The controller can be fitted with an optional 6GB hard disk which
enables collation, sample printing, font downloading and locked printing.

PCL5, PCL6, Adobe PostScript 3 and a new Ricoh PDL printer language called RCPS (Refined Print
Command Stream) are supported and drivers are provided to print from Windows 3.1x (PCL only),
Windows 95/98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Mac OS 7.5 or later (PostScript only).

There is a single parallel port which is bi-directional and IEEE1284 compliant and a standard
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.

Full specifications of the controller are in Appendix B.

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:

1. Improved graphical performance


2. Refined document integrity through font synthesis

Resource: Software 2000


Supported OS: Windows 95/98
Windows NT4.0
Windows 2000
Languages: 14 Languages supported

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.

Supported OS: Windows 95/98,

Target Customers and Channels


Target Customers

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.

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):

% Unit Shipments 1997

4 21 71 4

4 90 6

Mail Sales VAR Small Multiple PC/Elec General Off the


Order Force Dealer Dealers Stores Stores Page

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:

Direct Salesforce Actions

- 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.

Indirect Channel Actions

- For our current office equipment dealers


- Develop those dealers who are capable of moving to networked products and advance
them from MFPs towards printers

- For competitor's OA dealers who already sell MFPs and printers


- Focus to switch them to our product range by offering a more complete and competitive
lineup
- Sell the opportunity to achieve greater hardware margins and more secure supplies
revenue from our printer products compared to their current printer suppliers.

- The IT dealer channel including VARs


- Recruit dealers from the IT channel through our unique offering:
- Increased hardware margins
- Secure after-sales supplies and service revenue
- Access to a full product range of MFPs.

PMR26/N Product Information Guide

Product Sales Points


High Speed

Fast Printing Speed

The PMR26/N engine runs at 26ppm (A4/LT LEF) and achieves a first print speed of 6.5 sec./A4 or
LT.

Short Operating Time (Front-Access Operation)

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

High Image Quality

Provides consistent quality output with crisp images and text.

A) 1200 x 1200 dpi


Resolution is a true 1200dpi, giving excellent quality output of all types of documents.

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.

C) Adobe PostScript 3 (Standard)


Simply better quality and more accurate WYSIWYG than other print languages.

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.

PMR26/N Product Information Guide

Marketing Support Materials


Marketing Communication Objectives

These objectives refer to the Aficio printer range as a whole:

- 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."

Launch Pack containing 4pp brochures

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.

Press advert and Direct Mail concepts on CDROM

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.

Aficio Printing Solutions Electronic brochure


This Electronic Brochure is called "Aficio Printing Solutions". It is not specific to the printer range,
but covers the benefits of satisfying a customers overall printing requirements with a selection of
products from the Aficio range.

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.

Sales Motivation Audio Cassette

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.

Packaging and Branding

Mainframe Packaging
The mainframe carton is unbranded. As there is only one model name for all three brands, there is just
one model name and one set of brand label placement marks on the carton. The carton is of a new
design that can be opened and resealed easily. This is so the branding operation can be done
without damaging the carton, as is the case with the original PMR14/20.

Three branding labels are included in the box with the machine. These can be placed on the top left
corner of the front panel of the printer.

Options Packaging
All options have neutral packaging with no branding.

Supplies Packaging
The toner cartridges are unique. There are three branded versions.

Operating Instructions Language Kits


These have the Aficio logo and the model name on the front cover, but no brand is mentioned. Unlike
most of our other language kits, these have just one front page and no tear-off sections.

New Developments
Use of the new GW (ground-work) architecture
Dual component AIO cartridge
New development system
IEEE1394 option
Fast warm-up time

GW Architecture:
The PMR26/N is the first printer of Ricoh to use the new GW (ground-work) architecture. It uses
resources common with future machines such as the Adonis-C2, Model J and Russian-C2.

Maintenance:
The PMR26/N uses a dual component AIO cartridge. Together with the Maintenance Kit, it enables
users to maintain the machine themselves.
Dealers can choose maintenance either by customer or service.
The PM interval is 90K prints.

IEEE 1394 Interface:


This machine is the first Ricoh printer to adopt the IEEE1394 standards, providing more ways for
connectivity.

Firmware Release:
Firmware files will be delivered using a web server. New firmware can be downloaded using a flash
memory card.

Main Unit and Optional Paper Feed Units


Standard paper sizes are supported by setting paper size on the operatio n panel or selecting a dial.
When using RPCS, the paper size and the feed direction that match the tray settings have to be used in
the printer driver.

Bypass Tray
Both Standard size and Custom size paper are supported. When specifying and setting
custom size, size will be either mm or inch in accordance with drivers setting under PCL XL, 5e PS
and RPCS.

Paper Type
The following types of paper can be set up for each paper tray from the operation panel.

Standard Tray/Bank: Plain, Recycled, Specia l, Color, Letterhead, Preprinted,


Prepunched, Bond, Card Stock
Bypass Tray: Plain, Recycled, Special, Color, Letterhead, Preprinted,
Prepunched, Bond, Card Stock, Labels, Thick, Transparency

Paper Tray Select


When Auto Tray Select is selected in the driver, the tray in which the paper of the specified size/type
is loaded, is selected.

The printer starts searching from the Default Tray. In case of no appropriate tray, the tray is looked for
with the following order:

Default Tray -> 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> Multi bypass ->


Multi Bypass Tray

1 B4 Default Tray
2 A4 Short Edge

3 A4 Long Edge

When A4 size is specified in the above conditions, Tray2 is selected.

Limitless Paper Feed


In case of out-of-paper, the printer will try to search for the tray with specified paper size and type and
the printer will select the tray with the proper paper size and type based on the setting of the default

tray.
If there is no valid tray available, the printer starts searching fo r a tray in accordance in the following
order:

Default input tray -> 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> Multi bypass ->

Limitless Paper Feed is not available if a tray is selected in the driver.

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:

1. Auto Tray Select


If the specified tray is not available and Auto Continue is OFF, printing is paused until user sets
the specified tray.
If the specified tray is not available and Auto Continue is ON, printing is proceeded with
accordance with Auto Tray Select order.
If specified paper is still not found, an alert message appears warning that specified paper size and
paper type is not detected, and then the printing is terminated.
The printer feeds the paper from the default tray, when all tray are locked.
2. Tray Select
If the specified tray does not meet the condition, and Auto Continue is OFF, printing pauses until
user sets the paper.
Even if the specified tray does not meet the condition, and Auto Continue is ON, the printer tries
to feed the paper from the tray (or in case of no paper in the tray, and Auto Continue is ON, the
printer pauses printing until user sets the paper.).

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.

tray
1bin** 500 250 Y Y Y
4bin** 450 50 x 4 Y Y N
* : A4/ LT **: 1bin and 4bin are not simultaneously installed.

Default Output Tray


The default output tray can be designated from the operation panel. If the output tray is not designated
on the printer driver, paper will be output to the default tray unless that paper size is
not available for the default tray.
All paper will be output to standard tray when error occurs.

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

38
PMR26/N Product Information Guide

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
4-bin Mailbox : Collation
1-bin Shift Sort Tray : Collation, Job Separation *1

*1 With this feature "On", the print jobs are printed shifted to right and left. If the Job Separation feature is
disabled at the operation panel, separation is not applied.

C6 HDD Specifications
The following 3 functions are available with optional HDD. This HDD has a 6.0 GB capacity and
it is divided into 2 areas for each function.

CCR060A/62A Product Information Guide

Executive Summary

Office Standard MFP - Colour and BW Solution


The CCR060A and the CCR062A are the replacement general office products for the
CCR060 and CCR062/68 Colour Solutions. When launching the CCR060 and the
CCR062/68, we re-positioned our colour copier range as Colour Solutions. The
CCR060A and the CCR062A are the first product range which we shall reposition as
Black and White and Colour capable Multi- functional products.

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.

Major improvements from CCR060/62/68 are as below:

Resolution in true 600dpi for copying, printing and scanning.


CCR062A edit model is not planned. Area-editing function will be provided as
option.
Film Projector will be eliminated due to lack of marketability. (Current SPU4
cannot be used with model CCR060A/CCR062A due to difference of scan
resolution)
BW copy speed and BW/FC print speed is increased
Image rotation is new function
BW FAX option for model CCR062A

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

Market Situation

US and European Colour MFP Placement


We cannot expect high
( K Units ) growth in Production and
140 Specialised Business
segment, because the
120
market is saturated and
100 many users have already
acquired colour output
80
devices. This market is
60 made up of replacement
machines

0 colour MFP market will
1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 occur in the General
General Office Specialized Production
Office segment.
Total unit : Dataquest[US], Infosource[EU]

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.

Key Selling Points


BW / Colour Multi-Functional Product

Expandability

With installation of the optional controller unit, model CCR060A / CCR062A serves
as a high performance colour / BW printer, colour / BW scanner, and FAX.

Function Matrix
FC/ BW Printer FC/ BW Scanner FAX
Model CCR060A O O / *X X
Model CCR062A O O / *X O
* Not supported in RICOH made printer controller

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.

Superior performance FAX capability

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.

Useful Features

Paper Tray Assignment

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

In CCR060A/CCR062A, the tray policy can be registered to solve user problems as


below:

Priority Tray for Full Colour Copy Mode

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.

FAX Priority Paper Tray

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.

Executive Summary

Advanced C olou r f or Quality C onsci ous Cust om ers


Since the launch of the CCR100/106, competition among Mid-Range colour products
has become more intense. In this range, various manufacturers participate in the
colo ur market. This market has traditionally been dominated by Canon and Xerox,
though new players including Toshiba and Sharp have developed new products at
ground-breaking speeds.

In this market segment the first priority customer requirement is image quality. To
meet such requirements, the CCR132 has enhanced image quality and reliability for
quality conscious customers in Specialised Business and Production Business
Segments.

Using current and newly developed technologies the CCR132 has enhanced
sharpness, smoothness, and gradation in image quality. The CCR132 also delivers
improved productivity, such as speed and paper capacity increase, to improve
acceptance in the Production Business Segment, particularly the On Demand Printing
market.

Marketing Objective
Expand colour market and increase CV/PV by offering higher image quality,
productivity and more expandability.

A) To expand the portion of NRGIs full colour copier MIF in the Specialised Business
Segment
Objectives;
1. 100 % replaceme nt of the MIF of CCR66A/67A (MIF protection)
2. Aggressive attack on the MIF of competitors models.

B) To win copy and print volume from competitors MIF and expand our business
With its very competitive specification and its high productivity, the CCR132 has
the capability to capture competitors CV / PV, which will lead to increased profit.

C) To find new opportunities in the On Demand Printing market


As in the general office market, the On Demand Printing market is expecting
continuous growth. In order to cope with the quick change in market trends, machines
must be able to print short runs of variable data at high quality. On Demand Printing
opportunities exist not only in the Production Business Segment but also in the
General Office Segment

Market Overview
The marketplace for Workgroup Colour Copiers (3-23cpm) grew in placement terms
by 13% in 1999 over 1998. In 1999, 38,920 units were placed versus 34.408 units in
1998. Of those units shipped in 1999, 100% were digital devices, and 100% were
used in a multifunction environment.

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%.

NRG remained in 5th place with a 7% market share.

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.

Key Selling Points


Enhanced Image Quality

The CCR132 has many image quality enhancements based on current and newly
developed technologies. Its stability and durability are also improved.

Its excellent quality level is achieved by brushing up the fundamental image


processing system as follows.

New Technologies and Improvements


New CCD: 7300 Pixel -600 dpi / 10 bit Scanner
Mechanical noise exists in 10 bit scanned data. The scanned data is converted into
8 bit data and mechanical noises will be removed.

Smooth Gradation
New Dither Pattern
Phase Control Dither Pattern
New dither pattern contributes to the image quality of gradation and smoothness.

Sharpness
New Development Method
Narrow Gap Development method
New development system enables better reproduction quality of dots in highlight area.

Glossiness
Improved Paper Transfer Method
Three Paper Transfer Speed
In order to achieve sufficient glossiness image on thick paper and extra thick paper,
the CCR132 transfers paper at three different speed for each weight range.

Wider Paper Capabilities

Model the CCR100/106 has very strong advantages in Paper Handling Capabilities.
Thanks to ST paper transfer system, the CCR132 can also handle extra thick paper. In
order to strengthen this advantage, the paper capacity in the Bypass Tray is increased
to 250 sheets (100g/m2 ). In addition, the CCR132 can feed extra thick paper

24
CCR132 Product Information Guide

(256g/m2 , 68lbs) from 2nd and 3rd tray. These features assist the total productivity
improvement.
*There are three paper weight modes for the CCR132. The paper weight setting
should be changed in User Tools every time you change the weight range of the
paper. Otherwise the machine may be damaged at fusing unit and so on.

256 g/m2 , 68lbs paper from 2nd and 3rd tray.


By adopting newly designed parts, the CCR132 handles Extra Thick Paper (up to
256g/m2 ) from 2nd and 3rd tray.

Bypass tray lift system


In order to increase bypass tray capacity, the CCR132 adopted paper tray lift
system. Therefore 1st copy time from bypass tray is delayed by up to 5 seconds
while the tray lifts up to feeding position. Once the tray lifts, the tray maintains
the position for up to 25 seconds to avoid productivity loss.

Improved Paper Transfer Path


Dipping up-hill Paper Path
In order to increase capability of
versatile paper handling, the
CCR132 adopts new paper transfer
path, Dipping up-hill Paper Path.
This system contributes to stabilising
high image quality.

CCR132 Product Information Guide

Note: please see the Service Documentation for further details.


Two Types of Controller

Two types of EFI controller will be available for the CCR132. One is the E-710
embedded type controller, which is a lower cost solution. The other one is the E-810
external type controller, designed to achieve high performance.
Please see Printer Controllers product information for details of printer functions.

The embedded controller and external controller cannot be attached together.

New Twin Colour

Twin colour is a useful function to make a point colour copy quickly. In addition to
the current twin colour capability, a new twin colour feature allows user to select a
combination of the colour output.

New Energy Saver Mode

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.

CCR132 Product Information Guide

User Familiar Features

Priority Copy Mode for BW Copying

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.

Priority Tray for Full Colour Copy Mode

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.

Controller Functions

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.

ECT Compression Technology


This compression techno logy of EFI optimises memory storage by blending a
combination of loss less and lossy compression techniques, choosing the best
technique for each portion of image. However to a human eye, the net result is
visually loss less compression.

Colour Management

Same as E-800A/E-700/E-310, the E-710 supports ColourWise2.0. In addition to the


feature set of ColourWise1.0, the ColourWise2.0 allows users to download ICC
monitor profiles to E-710, which fully integrates E-710 into industry level. It also
includes ColourWise Pro Tools utility, which replaces the Fiery Print Calibrator.

Calibration Methods

The following calibration methods are available.


- AutoCAL2
- Calibration via Client

CMYK Simulation

Converts all CMYK data to match selected colourspace parame ters


(DIC/Euroscale/SWOP coated/None). When CMYK Simulation is enabled, CMYK
Simulation method is TBA.

E-710 Product Information Guide

Pure Black Text/Graphics

Define RGB (0,0,0) blacks to be printed as 100% black toner.


Using Press Standard mode, black text may be printed at a lower density than user
expects. By setting this feature ON, user can obtain more deep black text.

Black Overprint / Combine Separation (Trapping/Overprinting)

Composite PostScript printing devices typically knock-out background layers when


drawing on top of them. By using Black Overprint, black text and graphics are
rendered over the background (solid colour, blend, or Image) as overprint. By this, it
prevents unpleasant results such as hollowing regardless of application.
This mode is always On, but ignored if Pure Black Text/Graphics are Off.
By using Combine Separation feature, E-710 supports trapping and overprinting
commands sent with QuarkXpress, Illustrator and Pagemaker files and will recombine
desktop colour separated (DCS) files into composite images. This mode is not
compatible with Spot Colour Matching.

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.

Spot Colour Matching

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.

Downloadable ICC Profiles

To support user downloadable ICC Profiles is a core feature of ColourWise2.0. Users


can download ICC profiles to replace the function of EFIs printer profile. This allows
advanced users to define the CMYK values when converting from RGB or when
simulating another printing device. Application of the ICC Profiles is further
described in the Profile Manager of ColourWise Pro Tools.

Networking/Connectivity

Same as E-800A/E-700/E-310, the E-710 supports NetWise2.0. NetWise2.0 allows


users to set-up quickly and easily E-710 within any network environment. It also
supports the management service including SNMP agent to support variety of MIBs.

Novell NDS Support

In addition to Bindery mode, E-710 supports NDS simultaneously in NetWare


network.

SMB

E-710 supports direct printing from Windows 95 / 98/Me/2000 and Windows NT.

Auto Configure IP

E-710 supports DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol-the protocol which


enables auto set- up for the client on TCP/IP network) which automatically
communicates with a DHCP server and obtains information directly from the network
when the IP Auto radio button has been selected.
This feature allows users to set-up the E-710 quickly and easily.

Printer Manager Support (SNMP Support)

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.

NIB setup is not available.


Printer Manager basically supports 14 languages, but installing languages except
for English, French, German, Spanish and Italian may cause unexpected character
description in some part. This is because Fiery only supports above mentioned 5
languages.
Only the default product bitmap will be displayed.
Job Statistics shows job log information based on controller log, not on copier log.
So the total count of Job Statistics may not match with that of copier.
Scanner information cannot be monitored or managed.

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

This allows users to:

Download PS files, EPS files and PDF files to Fiery.


Check the status of Fiery
Manage and display the PostScript printer fonts stored on the Fiery hard disk
Drag PostScript files and Type1 fonts onto the Fiery Downloader icon to download

Fiery Scan

This allows users to scan documents from Copier-glass or ARDF.

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.

Controller/Copier Compatibility

Following combinations are NOT supported :

Current controllers (i.e. E-300, RC-200, RC-210, E-800A) to the CCR132


E-710 to copiers other than the CCR132 (i.e.
CCR060/62/68/066A/067A/100/106)
E-700 without Convert kit to the CCR132

Note
* Since the copier engine speed and specification will be different for the
CCR100/106 and the CCR132, the E-700 needs to be converted to connect to the
CCR132. For details about upgrade, please refer to the following chapter.

Convert the E-700 to the E-710

E-700 Conversion Kit includes:

System CD
E710 Media Pack (User CD / English Manuals) (*)
Dongle (**)
Install Guide for Conversion Kit

The E-700 needs to be converted with the E-700 Conversion Kit to be connected to
the CCR132, because the copier engine speed and specification will be different for
the CCR100/106 and the CCR132.

In case you convert the E-700 to connect it to the CCR132, Interface for E-710
(Interface Type I - NEW) will be necessary.

(*) Italian, French, German and Spanish E-710 Media packs have to be ordered
separately

(**) With the Dongle, this controller is recognised as E-710. So the Dongle is
necessary with the E-710 and it will be delivered with the new controller itself.

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:

1. Document Distribution System Using ScanRouter Lite V2


2. Document Management Using Docuware
3. Forms Recognition Using Eyes and Hands Form Recognition

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

Key Selling Points

The main selling points are:

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

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

SC01 - Last 6 months sales


SC01 December January February March April May
Sales (units) 2 11 3 6 2 2

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.

SMR30dc Product Information Guide

Key Features, Advantages and Benefits

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.

Shared use under network

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

Broad Compatibility and Support

Based on the customers environment and or requirements a Network Interface or IEEE1394


(FireWire) Interface can be selected.

The optional Network I/F board, allows the SC430dc to connect to a network. This means that the

7
SMR30dc Product Information Guide

scanner can then be used as a shared network device.

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.

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.

Outline of memorys function

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 penetration of colour across the European market remains very much at an early phase. During
1998 approximately 27% of all devices shipped in Europe were colour capable. In 1999 the growth in
shipments of colour units increased to 38%. This is forecast to continue to increase over the period
99-2004 at a CAGR of 33%.

Workgroup segment

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%.

At the end of Q4 1999, the value of European shipments in the desktop and workgroup scanner

market sectors was $74.19 million. Taking into account a forecast growth of approximately 36%
across these sectors by Q4 2000, overall shipment value is expected to grow by a further 26% to
$93.18 million.

During 1999, the largest markets in Europe, in terms of the percentage of total devices shipped, were
Germany (29.3%), the UK (26.2%), France (10.5%) and Italy (9.6%).

Major Competitors

In the Workgroup segment, Fujitsu dominates, with a market share of about 65%. Other competitors
include Canon, HP, Bell and Howell and Panasonic.

Vertical Markets and Characteristics

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.

SMR30dc Product Information Guide

Marketing Support Material

The launch of SC430dc is critical if NRG wishes to develop as a total solution provider. Many of our
competitors already have colour scanners on the market and are considering networking their
machines. In the target market segment the SC430dc is superior to all of the competitor models that
currently have colour or network functionality. There is therefore a great opportunity to significantly
enter the market

Marketing Objectives

To successfully enter 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 successfully target a growing niche in the market for a colour, networkable scanner

Positioning Objective

To position SC430dc as both a SCSI based B/W Scanner with Colour Capability and a Network
Colour Scanner
Increase awareness of NRG's Scanner portfolio in terms of both Hardware and Software.
Thereby increasing the potential for incremental sales on both sides
Introduce the productivity and efficiency benefits NRG can offer to customers with the SC430dc

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.

Marketing Objectives of new Products

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

New Product Changes

Both Versions

New plaques (the new square style located centrally on the machine)
New colour plastic
3.6 m/min engine speed
New 2-roll feeder option
Both roll- feeders now built into table (not separate option)
Same consumables toner, developer, drum - as all our other Wide Format MIF

Key Selling Points

Noticeably better copy quality than selenium-drum (Xerox) machines


Easy to use, even for first-time users
Office- friendly, compact, relatively quiet, light, on wheels, front-operational
Environmentally fr iendly OPC drum, toner in a cartridge, Energy Star, Energy Saver mode

Target Market

The primary target markets for the A040 and A041 are:

Architects
Engineers
Design Agencies
Utilities
Local Government
Copy shops

We should approach customers who are currently using an A0 copier, or who are paying money to a
Print/Copyshop. Likely models to replace are:

Any table-top Diazo machine


Xerox 2510/2515/2520/2520RF, 3000 series
Oce 7050/7000 series
KIP (Shacoh) 1800
Ricoh FW740 (OEMd as Regma 910, Ozalid EF1001, K+E3036) to upgrade to
multi-copy, roll- fed options

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

An additional option for the A041 is:


Copy Stacker

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.

Market Situation

General Background

The Wide Format market in Europe continues to be affected by 2 trends:

1. A general decline in the overall market of about 10 % year on year


2. A move from analogue to digital technology

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.

Suppliers

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, 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.

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.

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.

11
A040/41 Product Information Guide

Target Customer

Any person creating or reproducing paper documents bigger than A3 (420x297mm).

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

These can be:


handmade drawings in pencil
ink drawings
CAD plots
Blue prints
Diazo prints
Sepia prints
Offset prints

(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

12
A040/41 Product Information Guide

Replacing Equipment

Target customers will already be using:

Diazo copier and dont like the difficulty, the environmental impact, or the special paper
Diazo copier but user needs to copy from opaque materials
Toner copier but they dont have the room, multi-copy facility or enough roll- feeders
Copyshop services but they spend more than 100 or 100 copies per month
Inkjet plotter and they have to print out more than 1 plot for archive, drawing office, project
office, site, customer
Inkjet plotter and they have to take the plot outdoors where it often gets wet and smudged

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.

Product Sales Points

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.

Problems with Diazo:

Can only use translucent originals


Environmentally unfriendly, especially requiring special chemicals
Needs reasonably experienced user to get good results
Diazo copies need to be frequently re-copied
Diazo paper, though cheap, has a limited shelf life
No paste ups, duplex originals, or writing on the back possible
Many diazo copies include greyscales, because the diazo technology allows this

Key Copy Quality problems that users face include:

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.

A040 is the easiest copier in the world to use:

Face up original feeding


Original & copy side guides
Flange roll paper setting
Manual or Automatic original feed
Most productive

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.

Flange-type Roll Paper Setting

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.

Manual or Automatic Original Feeding

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.

Differences with the A041

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.

A040 and A041 combine the most office, user and


environment-friendliness of any analogue wide format
device.

Office Friendly

Unlike some competitors machines, the A040 and A041


come with wheels, and as they are relatively light, they can
be installed and moved around an office easily. For
cleaning, recabling, or any other move, NRGs copiers do
not require special equipment nor burly labourers.

Even the installation can be made against a wall, as both


models are fully front operational. The Oc needs space at
the side for toner replenishment.

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.

DeskTopbinder V2 Professional Product Information Guide
Introduction
For the best understanding of DeskTopBinder V2 Professional please read the PIG of the Lite
versions first (see Appendix 1 for this document).

In Ricoh Japan a division exists that is called System Products Business. The mission of this division
is as follows:

To develop and provide the core software and the system products for Image Communication
and to reinforce Office Solutions Business.

As part of the future for the Ricoh group they envisage a concept called Ricoh Document Highway. In
the future, there are two basic elements for what they call is the e-society:

Next generation Aficio products and


Document Solutions Software.

On the verge of these two basic building blocks is the digital highway, an Internet/Intranet-based
vehicle that integrates the resources on the network and lets users perform different activities, like
outputting, inputting, delivery, storage, retrieval and so on.

For the near future, Ricoh Japan has announced several key software applications that will be critical
in the creation and establishment of this digital highway. Two of the most important new software
applications will be:

DeskTopBinder V2 Professional, an XML-based web-portal for document management and


retrieval and
ScanRouter V2 Professional, a software solution for electronic delivery of documents over the
digital highway.

Marketing Objectives
To offer customers real network scanning and an integrated messaging solution

To increase mainframe sales in the field by offering a tool which can enable them to run more
effectively and develop them into true networked input-output systems

To position NRG as a Total Solution Provider by offering hardware and software as a combined
document management package

To increase secondary revenue streams through additional income from support, installation and
training and pre/post sales consultancy

Previous Model Comparison Detail
1. Change to the Administration Utility

In ScanRouter Professional, administration was undertaken through a web browser while


Maintenance of the system was through a Windows based system.

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.

Installing the 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).

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

Auto-adjust image (fax/scan) orientation

Adjusts the top and the bottom of the distributed document automatically. This handling will be
effective to all delivery methods.

Extract words for file name

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.

ScanRouter V2 Professional Product Information Guide
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.

Fax documents are forwarded to the Delivery Server through


GW supported machines
the network including information of Fax Forwarding ID or
TSI.
Fax documents are forwarded to Delivery Server through the
Non-GW supported machines
RS232 cable.

Specifying Delivery Destination for Incoming Fax

There are 2 methods of specifying the delivery destinations for documents received by fax - using a
fax delivery ID or a TSI code.

1. Delivery by fax delivery ID (see diagram below)

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.

2. Delivery with a TSI (see diagram below)

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.

data tray. At this time, Error Log will be made. Only the administrator can check the contents of
the tray.

SmartNetMonitor Product Information Guide

Executive Summary

SmartNetMonitor is the latest version of Aficio Manager. As mentioned in previous Product


Information Guides, Aficio Manager was positioned to provide customers with effective
productivity to NRG network products, especially in the arena of network printing. On a
strategic level, Aficio Manager was produced to acquire more PV (Print volumes) through
MFPs, Laser Printers and Faxes.

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:

1. Effective Monitoring and Easy Analysis


2. Easy Management
3. Easy Operation
4. Reduced Network Printing Time
5. Increased Productivity

Marketing Objectives

1. Enhanced TCO Strategy Total Management of the entire system

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

SmartNetMonitor will be launched as one of the network features of DMR35A/45A. It will


also function with machines that the previous versions of Aficio Manager were designed to
work on.

The concept of SmartNetMonitor is based on 2 distinct modules:

1. Admin Module this was given the development name of Laurel


2. Client Module this was given the development name of Maple

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).

SmartNetMonitor Product Information Guide

Major Differences from Previous Utilities

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:

SmartNetMonitor for Admin and Client )

SmartNetMonitor for Admin has the following additional functionality:

Monitor System Status*


Select Device List Columns
Lock Menu of Device Operation Panel*
User Code Maintenance Tool*
Capability of tracking Copier, FAX, Printer counts in detail
Access restriction settings*

SmartNetMonitor for Client has the following additional functionality:

My Job List Menu


Notification Setting Menu
Notifications of printout/data transmission when using print server
SmartNetMonitor Port: Capability to support RPCS* and IPDL-C

Note: Functions marked with an asterisk (*) are only available with GW-supported machines.

SmartNetMonitor Product Information Guide

Market Overview

Advantages against Competitors

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:

Software Install image HDD Volume


SmartNetMonitor for Admin 10 MB 20 MB
SmartNetMonitor for Client 15 MB 30 MB
Web JetAdmin 6.0 Approx. 50 MB Approx. 80 MB

Tools Menu

NIB Setup Tool

Configures the NIB settings of the selected device.

The only change between the NIB Set-Up Tool (NST) for SmartNetMonitor and that of Aficio
Manager 3.5, is that RICOH will no longer use the MAP Utility (provided by DPI, Setup Tool
for DPI NICs).

The reason is that MAP will still be bundled onto the CD included with the DPI NIC Options.
Users wishing to install MAP can do so from the CD included in the NIC / NIB option.

20
SmartNetMonitor Product Information Guide

General Spec to NIB Setup Tool (NST)

The NST is designed to make the configuration of Network Interface Card (NIC) easier. The
principal functions of this utility are summarised below:

1) Displays or changes current settings or information of the target NIC


2) Password protection

The NST is installed automatically when SmartNetMonitor for Admin is installed. It can be
booted in 2 different ways:

1) Self Boot (From the Start-Up Menu)


2) Booted by SmartNetMonitor for Admin (From the Tool Menu.)

Functional differences are summarized in following table:

Self execution Admin execution


Main Window of NST Displayed Not displayed
Target NIC Can be selected from Main Menu Cannot be selected.
Always use the NIC specified by Admin

Communication Protocol Can be selected from Main Menu Cannot be selected.


Use the same protocol as Admin

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).

21
SmartNetMonitor Product Information Guide

Lock Menu of Device Operation Panel

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

Paper Type Settings

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.

User Code Maintenance Tool

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.

Major Functions of 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.

Basic requirements of User Code Maintenance Tool

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).

User Code Maintenance Tool Functions in Detail

In order to enter the User Code Maintenance Tool a password is required.

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).

24

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.

General Specifications

Basic features of SmartNetMonitor for Client

SmartNetMonitor for Client is not only the successor of the previous Client module of Aficio
Manager but also a hybrid of MDP3 and PortNavi. It will therefore support all the features of
these previously separate utilities.

The basic functionality of SmartNetMonitor for Client is as follows:

Monitors status of a specified device (GW-products and current products) through network

Monitors device(s) in the Windows printer folder. SmartNetMonitor for Client will still
keep on running as a Windows application (Same as in Aficio Manager)

SmartNetMonitor for Client has a function to monitor the network ports (through the
functionality previously provided by PortNavi and MDP3)

Parallel and Recovery function (through the functionality previously provided by PortNavi)

SmartNetMonitor Product Information Guide

Common Limitations to System

Support to EFI NICs:

As with the previous version of Aficio Manager, SmartNetMonitor will support all products
such as MFP, LP (including GW products), Faxes and Scanners manufactured by Ricoh. Thus,
SmartNetMonitor supports models connected by any NICs, NIBs (RICOH, DPI and Emulex)
and CTLs produced by Ricoh.

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).

Support to competitive products

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.)

The network load of SmartNetMonitor

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.

Test results for Network Load Ratio of SmartNetMonitor for Client

Testing conditions

An environment of 50 MFPs and LPs used by approx. 20 30 people. One MFP or LP to be


monitored by approx. 20 30 people at a time.

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
SmartNetMonitor Product Information Guide

Usually, when the Network Load Ratio increases up to 30%, the response of the entire Network
drops so severely that devices (PCs and devices) do not work properly.

In conclusion, we can state that SmartNetMonitor does not harm the entire Network if it is used
under the conditions listed above.

The above testing was carried out under the management of RICOH Designing Section (System
Product Designing Section).

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

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.

How does Printer Cost & Security Manager 2.5 work ?

PCSM is a server-based software consisting of several independent and co-operating server


components (Accounting Server service, SoftwareMetrics print monitor and the accounts
database). As a package, these components enable customers to measure, monitor, manage,
control and charge for printer usage on the network. PCSMs distributed architecture is
designed for scalability, robustness and low administrator maintenance. The management
applications offer centralised configuration of the server components and an intuitive interface
to the accounts database. Client software is not needed, although PCSM includes two end-user
applications that can be added on any network workstation. These applications allow users to
query account balances, assign billing codes and transfer funds.

The Core Components

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 server components work together in the following way:

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.

Desktop Printing: this tool is installed on the workstation to track printing to a


non-networked, local printer. The print job transaction is recorded in the database, as if it is
networked. This allows customers to include these desktop printers in their charging and
evaluation of print costs. With this feature, Client Billing (see Add-ons) will also work on
desktop printers. Desktop Printing is standard in Printer Cost & Security Manager 2.5, but is
an option for the SoftwareMetrics PAS- version.
The Client Tool is an end- user application that allows users to view their printing account
balances, transfer funds between printing accounts and select a default billing code for their
jobs.
The Web Tool is also an end- user application, with which users can access their accounts
from remote workstations using a web browser. They can transfer funds to another account,
view their account balance and select a default billing code for their print jobs.
Deposit Station: Deposit Station is a workstation add-on that allows network users to
deposit funds from an existing payment card system to a PCSM account. Deposit Station
has a simple interface and eliminates the need for staff to supervise simple account deposits.
Analysis Toolkit: This is a powerful tool used to examine the data gathered by Printer Cost
& Security Manager. The toolkit allows customers or NRG Sales Consultants to create
scenarios and manipulate print variables to forecast changes in printing behaviour, printing
costs and usage rates. This will add customers or NRG Sales Consultants in designing a
print strategy that will increase the customer's efficiency. Alternative scenarios can be
saved on disk, to allow off-site analysis. There is also a separate, additional Analysis Tool
that is NRG specific. This additional tool can be used to investigate further a customers
output environment.
Deployment Tool: This tool allows NRG as the provider and integrator of the solution to
prepare the implementation and configuration of PCSM off-site. All the accounts, billing
codes, charging models, etc. can be prepared off-site and then installed at the customers
site in one, easy operation, without much interruption of a customers printing environment.

PCSM Product Information Guide

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.

Product Functions

Printer Cost & Security Manager 2.5 provides the following primary functions

Printing cost management, containment and recovery tool

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.

Network printing management

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.

Customer billing tool

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 Document Release

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.

PCSM Product Information Guide

Pre-sales investigation - analysis and consultancy tool

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.

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:

The proliferation of the Internet/Intranet:


Since the early 90s, the Internet has taken off. Every company has a basic networking
infrastructure in place by now, while most of them have direct access to the web. The result
of this is that all mid-range and high-end hardcopy devices will be networked. This not only
enhances a companys productivity and efficiency by the sharing of resources, but also
introduces new issues, like document security, where confidential documents could become
readily accessible to everyone from the networked output device.
Windows Operating System Dominance:
After a slow start, Windows has established itself as the leading network operating system
for the corporate office environment, overtaking Novells NetWare.
Windows NT4 has been a huge success, offering the stability and functionality required
from a heavily used Operating System, while it is expected that with the introduction of
Windows 2000 this dominant position will only be reinforced. It is safe to say that Windows
NT/2000 is emerging as the de facto standard for network printing.
Convergence of hardcopy devices and colour proliferation:
Stand-alone copiers, printers and faxes are replaced by multifunctional devices in the office
environment. With the price of colour devices coming down and the forthcoming
introduction of hybrid colour black & white models, it is safe to assume that colour
functionality will be more widespread through the office environment, leading (on average)
to an increase of the output costs.
New purchasing models:
The connection of the hardcopy output devices to the corporate network changes their
position: from a stand-alone device they become system peripherals, meaning that different
people will be involved in the decision making, e.g. IT- managers and network
administrators. This means that the selling method will change, towards a model that also
addresses concerns of these important players in the decision making unit, like scalability,
stability and manageability.

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)!

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.

Two factors now affect the variable-to-fixed cost relationship:

Falling Colour Printer Prices


Printing hardware prices have dropped dramatically over the past few years. These colour
printers, although cheaper than they used to be, have high variable costs per page. Many
companies taking advantage of the low initial investment do not realise colour printings
effect on total printing costs until it is too late.

Rising Consumable Costs


Today, consumable costs make up more of the total printing costs then ever before. People
are printing more pages on each printer, and the average cost per page is increasing due to
the proliferation of costly colour printing. There are three main reasons for the comparative
increase in consumable costs:
Networked printers: now several employees share one printer, causing it to be used
more heavily. This is an excellent way to save on hardware costs, but many companies
do not realise the danger of assuming that printing costs are falling. Just as much output
is generated, and consumable costs are just as expensive as before. In fact, because it is
now easier to print a hardcopy at the nearest networked printer; more pages are printed,
increasing consumable costs.
Colour printing also changes the total printing cost equation. Printing a colour page
costs considerably more than printing a page in black and white. With more colour
printers being purchased and networked, it is easier for employees to print these
expensive colour pages. Unrestricted access to colour printers often leads to more
colour printing, which has noticeably increased the average cost per page. Many
documents that would have been printed in black and white, like drafts and department
reports, are now being printed in colour. Many companies also print colour logos on the
bottom of pages as well as printing more colour overheads for presentations.
Web printing: the volume and variety of information on the Internet increases daily.
Although the information is available on the screen, many people feel the need to read
and analyse information on paper, so they print hardcopies of all relevant information.
This is greatly increasing the number of pages printed, where before only the
information needed would be photocopied from a single hardcopy.

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

limiting or charging for printer and copier use. They can use several methods to recover or
contain costs:

Full Cost Allocation:


This method allows a company to allocate costs to employees, departments or even projects
according to their printing policy. The charges for different types of printed or copied
output are decided when the system is implemented. This allows departments to budget
their printing and copying usage and fully control these costs. This method is an excellent
way to implement activity-based accounting of hardcopy costs that would otherwise be
allocated manually.

Partial Cost Allocation:


With this system, a company determines an initial quota of pages that will be allotted to an
employee or a department, free of charge. After they have used their quota, they cannot
print or copy more pages without incurring additional costs. This method is useful where
activity centres are charged for fixed and variable hardcopy costs separately. A customer
can allow a certain number of printouts or copies free of variable charges, based on the
portion of fixed costs that the centre bears. Centres will be more inclined to make accurate
estimates of printer and copier usage when buying new hardware in order to avoid variable
hardcopy 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.

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.

With the take-over of SoftwareMetrics by EquiTrack, on the supply-side a huge concentration


has taken place, meaning that many vendors do have Printer Accounting Server 2.5 in their
portfolio of solutions.

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.

Printer Cost & Security Manager 2.5 provides the following primary functions

Printing cost management, containment and recovery tool


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.
Network printing management
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.

19
PCSM Product Information Guide

Customer billing tool


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.
Secure Document Release
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.
Pre-sales investigation - analysis and consultancy tool
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.

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

Business Drivers by Market Segment

General Business Drivers

Companies that have a high cost-per-page printing


Need to have client-billing codes tied to print jobs, in order to generate detailed customer
billing statements
Need for audit trails for printers, security reasons, ISO standards or specific account reasons
such as controlling information leaks, such as in a pharmaceutical company controlling
their R&D information
Very often the purchasing of a new colour laser printer precipitates the need to look for a
printing management tool

Specific Points by Market Segment

Architectural/ Engineering Market

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

Reprographics Printing Market

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.

Increase the number of connected devices by offering a tool to monitor them on


the network.

Increase secondary revenue streams by additional income from support,


installation and training and pre- and after sales consultancy.

PrintObserver 2.0 Product Information Guide

Product

Concept

PrintObserver is a client-server-based network printing management solution that


maximises the integration of network printers into the enterprise-environment.
PrintObserver is easy to install, offers constant feedback on the status of network
printers and the progress of print jobs.

The PrintObserver-suite consists of 5 separate applications:


PrintObserver Primary Publisher
PrintObserver Secondary Publisher
PrintObserver Subscriber
PrintObserver Config
Administrators Adaptation Kit (AAK).
Together they offer users and network administrators a comprehensive set of tools to
monitor printers and print jobs on the network.

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.

The client version of PrintObserver, Subscriber, has to be installed on every PC in the


network. Subscribers are informed by a Publisher about changes in the status of a
network printer they are using, without causing any noticeable network traffic on the
network (because of the push-protocol used).
PrintObserver Subscriber displays an icon in the bottom right corner of the users task
bar for each printer installed on your computer. This icon visualises the status of the
printer (idle, warning or attention). Clicking on one of these icons will open the

PrintObserver applet that provides more detailed information of the status and
configuration of the printer.

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.

Target Markets & Channels

Target Markets

PrintObserver will be released for all NRG regions, including NRGI.

Target Channels

PrintObserver is mainly targeted at the enterprise environments, i.e. corporate


network environments with 100 users or more. Therefore, it is to be expected that
most of the sales will take place in the (European) Major Account and Direct Sales
Channel.

Sales Approach

We propose to sell PrintObserver by offering customers a free-of-charge version of


the software. Once they decide to use it on a permanent basis, the customer will have
to buy a server-license, which is dependent on the number of servers on which the
customer wants to install PrintObserver. The customer has a choice from a one- five-
and unlimited server-license.

Features & Benefits


Ease of use

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.

This way, the user will have an estimate of how long it will take before his job will be
printed and this is displayed in the Job Status Bar: it shows the progress of each print
job in an easy to understand graphical user's interface. It displays user's own print jobs
as well as others, which are in the print server queue and the printer.

PrintObserver 2.0 Product Information Guide

Ease of Installation

PrintObserver supports an automatic installation/configuration procedure at the client


side where a client prints through a Microsoft Windows NT or Windows 2000 print
server queue. Information about the network address of the used printer is not needed.

To enable this feature PrintObserver makes use of:


Its client/server architecture
The Automatic-IP-Sensing1 feature
The Automatic-IP-Distribution2 feature

PrintObserver needs an IP address of a printer to communicate with the device.


Instead of an IP address, in some network environments it is possible to use a host-
name instead.

PrintObserver retrieves the IP address or host-name of a printer without the


interaction of the user in two ways:
It can automatically sense this information on the computer it runs on via
AutomaticIP Sensing (AIP) or
It can automatically receive this information from a Publisher during an Automatic IP
Distribution (AID) process.
Additionally, the user can insert this information with the Configuration tool shipped
with PrintObserver.

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.

Reduced network traffic

PrintObserver uses a unique concept called Publisher-Subscriber. Common printer


monitoring applications uses SNMP to poll at intervals the status of a printer on the
network. This produces small network packages for each check. If every computer in
a WAN does this, this increases the network traffic dramatically.

1
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.

2
Automatic IP Distribution is enabled when:
The host name of a computer is the same as the network Computer Name'. This is automatically
the case when a DHCP service is used in the network.
Printing through a print server. This is also true for bigger networks in most cases.
PrintObserver Publisher is installed on each print server in the network. The print-server where
PrintObserver is installed should be either Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000.

13
PrintObserver 2.0 Product Information Guide

PrintObserver, on the other hand, polls the status of a printer using SNMP and then
publishes the information to the subscribers in the network. Computers can subscribe
to this Publisher using the Subscriber version of PrintObserver.

The communication between a Publisher and its Subscribers is based on a special


push protocol over TCP/IP. This protocol enables the Subscriber to wait most of the
time for a notification of the Publisher; it will only notify them if there is a change in
the status of the printer or the print job. This reduces network traffic tremendously
and the workload of the printer. The more users share same network printer, the
bigger benefit the Publisher-Subscriber concept delivers.

Compatibility with industry standards

In an enterprise network compatibility with different printer models and brands is


very important.

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 supported printer description languages are:


PostScript level 2 & 3
PCL 3 - PCL 6
IPDLC

Finally, PrintObserver requires Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 print-


server to enable job status monitoring. There is a trend using Windows NT or 2000 as
print-server. PrintObserver is designed around these standard operating systems and
provides more detailed information about print jobs than any other printer-monitoring
tool.

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.

Applications

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.

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.

Within organisations, a hierarchy of information has always existed: a continuum of


documents ranging from high- value, high- volume structured documents considered
mission critical to low-volume, low- value ad hoc personal documents.

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.

eCabinet 2.1 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:

Network: it is connected to a network, be it the Internet or an Intranet;


Office: it is targeted at the workgroup environment and
Appliance: it is as easy to use and install as a normal home appliance, while it
adheres to market standards to ensure the openness of the system.

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 2.1 Product Information Guide
Product Overview: The eCabinet Solution

The design of eCabinet directly addresses the Workgroup Document Management


marketplace. 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, 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 Major Components

The major components of the eCabinet solution include:


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 document 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.

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

- Intelligent Document Archiving


eCabinet's ability to archive documents intelligently enables it to accommodate even
the most demanding capture environment. The hard drive holds 25 million
document pages for the eCabinet and 50 million document pages for the eCabinet
2100. Should its hard drive near capacity, however, eCabinet and eCabinet 2100
begin to clear space by purging older, rarely-accessed files. But because everything
is backed up automatically to secure storage on any one or a combination of
removable DVD*, on-site NFS, and Internet-based HTTP, eCabinet and eCabinet
2100 can still find and retrieve a pur ged document by searching its permanent
indexed location information to point to the back up copy. By archiving the location
information on its index, eCabinet and eCabinet 2100 provide unlimited storage
space.
* 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.

eCabinet 2.1 Product Information Guide
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.

a. Uni-directional In which one eCabinet (the capturing eCabinet) replicates


all, or selected documents, to another eCabinet;

Unidirectional
Replication

b. Bi-directional In which two eCabinets are actively capturing documents


with each eCabinet replicating its captured documents (or selected
documents) to the other eCabinet;

Bi-directional

c. One-to-Many In which one eCabinet replicates all, or selected, documents


to multiple target eCabinets (effectively de-aggregation);

d. Many-to-One In which multiple eCabinets replicate all, or selected


documents, to a single target eCabinet (effectively aggregation).

Many-To-One
Replication

8
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.

Optimization and index rate

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 eCabinet is targeted at workgroups of 20 50 people. The assumption is that in an


office, the logged-on users will not be performing the same tasks at exactly the same
time. So supporting a workgroup consisting of 50 people does not mean that everyone
will perform a search query at the same time, but rather that there will be a flow of
inquiries throughout the day, with some peak hour periods, when workgroups will
access the eCabinet. The expectation is that the normal usage of the eCabinet will
represent a balanced tradeoff between retrieval speed, the ability to handle simultaneous
queries, document processing speed, and the willingness of customers to wait for
documents to be available.

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.

Optimal number of supported users: 20 50


Optimal size of database: 500,000 documents (see note) or less
Optimal rate for document capture: 2-3 per minute, 5 pages/document
Expected time to OCR document: 30 seconds
Expected time for non-OCR document: 10 seconds
Expected simultaneous queries 10

Note : Document assumptions

Size of document - 5 pages on average


Page mix - 50-50 graphics-text
Text page - 250 words/page

The above numbers do not take into consideration network performance.

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

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.

Automatic Document Routing Rules

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.

- Searching for and retrieving documents


With a standard web browser (i.e. Netscape or Internet Explorer), a user can
search for captured documents on the eCabinet. The search criteria can include
text content, metadata information, folder information, or any combination of
these.
A quick search field lets you launch a search from the Home page of eCabinet

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.

- Thumbnails in List View


The List View is the default view for search results, and with the thumbnail option,
it is the most textually and visually rich of the four available views. Arranged in
sortable columns that are reordered by simply clicking a column title, view
preferences can be configured to include information such as creation date, file size,

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.

- One Click Re-Sort in Views


eCabinet's search results can now be reorganized at the touch of a button with One
Click Re-Sort in Views. Click one of the hyperlinked column headers to rearrange
and sort search results, reprioritize recently captured documents to the top of the list
or sort the search results alphanumerically according to document title.

- Accurate, Full-Text Retrieval


eCabinet captures and stores any file type from networked office peripherals -
digital copiers, scanners, fax machines, printers, and desktop computers - making
them available to you right away, when you need them, using intuitive and accurate
full-text retrie val.

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.

- Keyword Search Templates


User-assigned keywords can be attached to documents in several easy ways. A
simple way to add keywords to a document is to highlight an already captured
document, and then choose Notes from the Actions menu. This opens the
editing option, displaying the keyword metadata to enter in new keywords, and
create a personal filing system.

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.

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.

Captured documents information

Documents stored on the eCabinet include several types of information:

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.

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.

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

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.

- 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 problems. 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.

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.

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.

Installation and setup

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

There are three types of administrators of eCabinet:


Network administrator who has the capability to modify system settings, monitor
the document capture and backup process, and check other system behaviours.
Document administrator who has the capability to access any captured document on
the eCabinet.
Folder administrator who administers folders.
Note: by default the NetAdmin group has all three roles. More specifically, the
administrative functions are performed via the settings screen.

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.

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 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.

eCabinet 2.1 Product Information Guide
XEROX DOCUS HARE

DocuShare Version 2.2 is positioned as a software-based knowledge management


product with collaborative capabilities (versioning, email notification of newly posted
documents). It supports a large number of file types including text, scanned images,
video clips, MS Office documents, sound files, executables, web links, shared calendars
and bulletin boards. Workflow capability is not part of the DocuShare package,
however, OakGrove offers a product (Flowlet) that provides basic workflow
functionality.

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.

The compelling value proposition of out-sourcing document management/storage is that


no capital (dollars or equipment) is required. The CyLex typical customer exports 5,000
to 10,000 new documents per month with an average cost of $3,000 to 6,000 per month.
The service is priced based on the number and size of the documents as well as the
number of transactions (exported documents and retrievals). It is not clear if CyLex has
a minimum service fee for low volume users. CyLex also offers a back file conversion
service.

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.

23
eCabinet 2.1 Product Information Guide
There are three components of new product:

DOCSFusion the underlying engine for their solutions.


CyberDOCS the WEB connection to DOCSFusion and DOCS Open libraries. The
CyberDOCS web client, complemented by CyberDOCS Routing, facilitates
document-centric route processes among knowledge workers.
PowerDOCS the Windows-based client that provides full DOCSFusion document
management functionality. PowerDOCS also now includes flexible application
integration as well as installation and configuration wizards to simplify deployment.

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.

DOCUWARE

DocuNet AG, a German-based company, was founded in 1988 to focus on electronic


archiving applications. Their first product was a hardware offering aimed at scanner
control and compressing/decompressing graphic files. Subsequently, they released their
flagship DocuWare product, a modularised offering aimed at the document
management market. They claim over 4000 installations world-wide.
They have aligned with Xerox and NRG (Nashuatec, Rex-Rotary, Gestetner) as
strategic partners. In August 2000, DocuNet AG changed their name to DocuWare AG.

DocuWare 4 allows you to handle and administer all kinds of different scanned
documents and Windows documents. The latest version, DocuWare 4.1, contains an
optimised TIFFMAKER for the fully automatic storage of Windows documents and an
integrated client/ server database based on MS SQL 7.

The basic package provides the following functions:


Capture, manually index, and storage of electronically- generated documents
Document search
Document annotation
Storage management and archiving (Backup to CD)
Integrated MAPI and FAX functions;
Limited document routing capability

In addition to the basic package, DocuWare offers a series of add-on modules for
various additional functions. These modules include:

AUTOINDEX - Automates adding keywords based on a user defined field.


Numbers, names, or values assigned to a document by another application (i.e.
accounting software) are automatically saved as a key word assuming the users can
identify a specific field were the data is to be found.
FULL TEXT OCR and text extraction. This module is required for full content
/full text search capability. It is important to note that for networking purposes, this
capability is only supported under NT Win 95/98 can use it but only on a
standalone workstation basis.
INTERNET-SERVER 2 This capability, which is only usable with Windows NT
4.0 or Windows 2000, enables browser-based searching of multiple DocuWare
repositories over the Internet.
Barcode recognition and zone OCR capability.
COLD/READ This package provides archive of COLD media capability to CDs.
CDREQUEST: Retrieval of documents, view and print TIFF, JPEG files and COLD
records directly from an archived CD. (no client software is required)
ODBC Enables the integration of an ODBC database, such as Oracle or Microsoft
SQL Server, into the document management system as an alternative to DocuWare's
standard database.
CONNECT to R/3 interface enabler to allow search and retrieve SAP R/3 created
documents.

DocuWare has the same starting positions as other software-based document


management systems, such as a standard package that does not include OCR or text
extraction capabilities. Furthermore, scanned and electronic documents are the only
input source. DocuWares approach is to offer multiple single- function add-ons thus

DOCUMENTUM 4 I EB USINESS EDITION

Documentum 4I eBusiness Edition is a platform for building enterprise level, end to end
content management solutions, addressing content creation and mana gement, web site
management and content delivery and deployment. Documentum is converting their
core product strength of document management to web content management. They
continue to provide traditional document management functions, such as library and
document management, electronic and paper capture, document distribution, workflow,
versioning, annotation, browsing, viewing and retrieval. However, the 4i Edition adds
several key web content and management features, including web publishing, high-
speed delivery of content, site management and content personalization.

Documentum is targeting Global 2000 and Internet companies in a variety of industries


(manufacturing, pharmaceutical, financial services, engineering, construction and
telecommunications) where the need to manage content is considered mission critical.

Documentum 4i enables these e-business-critical applications:

Commerce sites fuelled by product catalogues and other Web content


Portals that transform massive amounts of disparate internal content into
organised, functional intranets, serving multiple languages and world-wide
locations
Business-to-business exchanges powered by e-business transactional content
Corporate "libraries" or "vaults" for managing published, business-critical
content in a centrally accessible repository
Compliance with standards and regulatory rulings that govern how a company
does business

The solution is primarily a development platform, as opposed to an out of the box


solution, with a getting started price tag of well over $200,000. Generally, it is not
considered a direct competitor to the eCabinet.

programming or user intervention. Forms can be captured from paper, fax or the
Internet, and then transferred to the target storage system.
Managing and accessing data recorded to CD-ROMs and CD-Rs in libraries, disc
changers, towers and single drives within the network environment.
Electronic storage, archiving, and managing computer-generated output data/reports.

A second integral part of the OTG solution is the DiskXtender solution that turns NT
and UNIX file systems into virtualised infinite disks. The solution enables data
movement and applications across the enterprise and network, while transparently
tracking and managing stored file locations. Features include customisable file
management, NTFS space management, and transparent data migration of least used
data and removable media management. They claim that the DiskXtender solution is the
only available product that supports erasable optical, WORM, CD-ROM, DVD, and
tape media under a single, heterogeneous solution. RAID to RAID (hard drive arrays)
management and integration functionality will also be available in an upcoming release.
SANXtender provides bi-directional management and access to data stored in storage
area networks (SANs).

OTG has OEM relationships with Advanced Financial Solutions, Agilent Technologies,
which is a subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard, Cerner, Data General, which is a division of
EMC, FileNet, Imation, Legato Systems and StorageTek, among others.

OTG is exploring the Internet service provider (ISP) and application service provider
(ASP) markets. Once launched, the XtenderSolutions will be available through ASPs
and ISPs for application leasing utilizing a metered utility model. Access to any variety
of remote storage media (secondary RAID, and/or removable media devices) through
workstations or corporate file servers will be leased to customers with advanced features
including authentication protocols, disk quotas, user account management, billing, and
reporting.

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 & Channels

Target Markets

eCabinet 2.1 will be available to all operating companies.

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

Rent it to a customer, while the customer is charged on a usage-measure (Pay-per-


View):
Advantage: customer lock- in and usage-driven;
Disadvantage: hard to implement and administer in current systems:

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.

eCabinet 2.1 Product Information Guide
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:

Installation & Administration Overview


Installation
General Set-up Considerations and Limitations

Prior to commencing the installation of an eCabinet, it is necessary to complete a CII


(Critical Installation Information) to ensure a smooth and fast installation. The survey
includes information on the network configuration, as it applies to the LAN
environment, IP addresses, devices or peripherals to be connected to the eCabinet and
the assigning of an IP address and domain name for the eCabinet.

eCabinet

Installing and configuring the eCabinet involves the following major steps:

1. Installing the eCabinet on the network.


2. Assigning a network address to the eCabinet using the keypad.
3. Connecting/identifying the capture devices attached to the network.
4. Creating an initial set of users and/or groups.
5. Installing PC Capture on the client PCs.
6. Test the systems.

PC Capture (Client)

1. To install and configure PC Capture, on a client PC, you must have administrative
privileges.
2. Insert the eCabinet Client Software CD into the CD-ROM drive of the PC (note, in
eCabinet 2.1 you have the option to download the PC Capture software directly
from the eCabinet)
3. Follow the installation wizard instructions to install and set preferences.
4. Install (if desired) browser, Adobe Acrobat Reader and the WinZip utility.
5. Create one or more printers for print capture (If desired).

44
eCabinet 2.1 Product Information Guide
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.

The eCabinet administrative functions include:

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

LCD/Keypad interface : Access disks (back up media and software upgrades),


manually 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 lo st documents.

This software is available in Europe and may be launched as a +Partner in the


future.

ICB-1 Power Supply

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.

eCabinet 2.1 Product Information Guide
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

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.

Within organisations, a hierarchy of information has always existed: a continuum of


documents ranging from high- value, high-volume structured documents considered mission
critical to low-volume, low- value ad hoc personal documents.

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 a range of appliance-based solutions for the document- and information


requirements of small, mid-sized and larger companies.

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 :

Network: it is connected to a network, be it the Internet or an Intranet;


Office: it is targeted at the workgroup environment and
Appliance: it is as easy to use and install as a normal home appliance, while it adheres to
market standards to ensure the openness of the system.

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

Product Overview: The eCabinet Solution


The eCabinet 2100 is designed for organizations with a more centralized information
technology (IT) department. The eCabinet 2100 must be installed in a standard 19- inch
computer rack system (which is not provided with the eCabinet).

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.

Prototype pending release of final hardware

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.

The design of eCabinet directly addresses the Workgroup Document Management


marketplace. 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, 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 Major Components

The major components of the eCabinet solution include:

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.

Main Features list


Localization

- eCabinet System Language


eCabinet comes in six system languages, including Dutch, German, English US, English
UK, French, and Italian.

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.

eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
- PC Capture Language
PC Capture UI is now localized in Dutch, German, English US, English UK, French, and
Italian.

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

- Intelligent Document Archiving


eCabinet's ability to archive documents intelligently enables it to accommodate even the
most demanding capture environment. The hard drive holds 25 million document pages
for the eCabinet and 50 million document pages for the eCabinet 2100. Should its hard
drive near capacity, however, eCabinet and eCabinet 2100 begin to clear space by purging
older, rarely-accessed files. But because everything is backed up automatically to secure
storage on any one or a combina tion of removable DVD*, on-site NFS, and Internet-based
HTTP, eCabinet and eCabinet 2100 can still find and retrieve a purged document by
searching its permanent indexed location information to point to the back up copy. By
archiving the location information on its index, eCabinet and eCabinet 2100 provide
unlimited storage space.
* 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.

eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
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.

a. Uni-directional In which one eCabinet (the capturing eCabinet) replicates all, or


selected documents, to another eCabinet;

Unidirectional
Replication

b. Bi-directional In which two eCabinets are actively capturing documents with


each eCabinet replicating its captured documents (or selected documents) to the
other eCabinet;

c. One-to-Many In which one eCabinet replicates all, or selected, documents to


multiple target eCabinets (effectively de-aggregation);

d. Many-to-One In which multiple eCabinets replicate all, or selected documents,


to a single target eCabinet (effectively aggregation).

Many-To-One

8
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.

Optimization and index rate

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 eCabinet is targeted at workgroups of 20 50 people. The assumption is that in an office,


the logged-on users will not be performing the same tasks at exactly the same time. So
supporting a workgroup consisting of 50 people does not mean that everyone will perform a
search query at the same time, but rather that there will be a flow of inquiries throughout the
day, with some peak hour periods, when workgroups will access the eCabinet. The
expectation is that the normal usage of the eCabinet will represent a balanced tradeoff
between retrieval speed, the ability to handle simultaneous queries, document processing
speed, and the willingness of customers to wait for documents to be available.

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.

Optimal number of supported users: 20 50


Optimal size of database: 500,000 documents (see note) or less
Optimal rate for document capture: 2-3 per minute, 5 pages/document
Expected time to OCR document: 30 seconds
Expected time for non-OCR document: 10 seconds
Expected simultaneous queries 10

Note : Document assumptions


Size of document - 5 pages on average
Page mix - 50-50 graphics-text
Text page - 250 words/page

The above numbers do not take into consideration network performance.

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

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.

Automatic Document Routing Rules

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.

- Searching for and retrieving documents


With a standard web browser (i.e. Netscape or Internet Explorer), a user can search for
captured documents on the eCabinet. The search criteria can include text content,
metadata information, folder information, or any combination of these.
A quick search field lets you launch a search from the Home page of eCabinet

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.

Thumbnails in List View


The List View is the default view for search results, and with the thumbnail option, it is
the most textually and visually rich of the four available views. Arranged in sortable
columns that are reordered by simply clicking a column title, view preferences can be
configured to include information such as creation date, file size, 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.

- One Click Re-Sort in Views


eCabinet's search results can now be reorganized at the touch of a button with One Click
Re-Sort in Views. Click one of the hyperlinked column headers to rearrange and sort
search results, reprioritize recently captured documents to the top of the list or sort the
search results alphanumerically according to document title.

- Accurate, Full-Text Retrieval


eCabinet captures and stores any file type from networked office peripherals - digital
copiers, scanners, fax machines, printers, and desktop computers - making them available
to you right away, when you need them, using intuitive and accurate full- text retrieval.

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.

- Keyword Search Templates


User-assigned keywords can be attached to documents in several easy ways. A simple
way to add keywords to a document is to highlight an already captured document, and
then choose Notes from the Actions menu. This opens the editing option, displaying
the keyword metadata to enter in new keywords, and create a personal filing system.

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.

Captured documents information

Documents stored on the eCabinet include several types of information:


Indexed document content. At the time of capture, the system constructs a full text index
and word freque ncy 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).

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.

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.

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.

- 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 problems. 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.
Note: This is offered from the USA and is not supported by Ricoh Europe Europe Q1 2002

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.

Installation and setup

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

There are three types of administrators of eCabinet:


Network administrator who has the capability to modify system settings, monitor the
document capture and backup process, and check other system behaviours.
Document administrator who has the capability to access any captured document on the
eCabinet.
Folder administrator who administers folders.
Note: by default the NetAdmin group has all three roles. More specifically, the administrative
functions are performed via the settings screen.

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

DocuShare Version 2.2 is positioned as a software-based knowledge management product


with collaborative capabilities (versioning, email notification of newly posted documents). It
supports a large number of file types including text, scanned images, video clips, MS Office
documents, sound files, executables, web links, shared calendars and bulletin boards.
Workflow capability is not part of the DocuShare package, however, OakGrove offers a
product (Flowlet) that provides basic workflow functionality.

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.

The compelling value proposition of out-sourcing document management/storage is that no


capital (dollars or equipment) is required. The CyLex typical customer exports 5,000 to
10,000 new documents per month with an average cost of $3,000 to 6,000 per month. The
service is priced based on the number and size of the documents as well as the number of
transactions (exported documents and retrievals). It is not clear if CyLex has a minimum
service fee for low volume users. CyLex also offers a back file conversion service.

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:

DOCSFusion the underlying engine for their solutions.


CyberDOCS the WEB connection to DOCSFusion and DOCS Open libraries. The
CyberDOCS web client, complemented by CyberDOCS Routing, facilitates document-
centric route processes among knowledge workers.
PowerDOCS the Windows-based client that provides full DOCSFusion document
management functionality. PowerDOCS also now includes flexible application integration
as well as installation and configuration wizards to simplify deployment.

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.

DOCUWARE

DocuNet AG, a German-based company, was founded in 1988 to focus on electronic


archiving applications. Their first product was a hardware offering aimed at scanner control
and compressing/decompressing graphic files. Subsequently, they released their flagship
DocuWare product, a modularised offering aimed at the document management market. They
claim over 4000 installations world-wide.
They have aligned with Xerox and NRG (Nashuatec, Rex-Rotary, Gestetner) as strategic
partners. In August 2000, DocuNet AG changed their name to DocuWare AG.

DocuWare 4 allows you to handle and administer all kinds of different scanned documents
and Windows documents. The latest version, DocuWare 4.1, contains an optimised
TIFFMAKER for the fully automatic storage of Windows documents and an integrated client/
server database based on MS SQL 7.

The basic package provides the following functions:


Capture, manually index, and storage of electronically- generated documents
Document search
Document annotation
Storage management and archiving (Backup to CD)
Integrated MAPI and FAX functions;
Limited document routing capability

In addition to the basic package, DocuWare offers a series of add-on modules for various
additional functions. These modules include:

AUTOINDEX - Automates adding keywords based on a user defined field. Numbers,


names, or values assigned to a document by another application (i.e. accounting software)
are automatically saved as a key word assuming the users can identify a specific field
were the data is to be found.
FULL TEXT OCR and text extraction. This module is required for full content /full text
search capability. It is important to note that for networking purposes, this capability is
only supported under NT Win 95/98 can use it but only on a standalone workstation
basis.
INTERNET-SERVER 2 This capability, which is only usable with Windows NT 4.0 or
Windows 2000, enables browser-based searching of multiple DocuWare repositories over
the Internet.
Barcode recognition and zone OCR capability.
COLD/READ This package provides archive of COLD media capability to CDs.
CDREQUEST: Retrieval of documents, view and print TIFF, JPEG files and COLD
records directly from an archived CD. (no client software is required)
ODBC Enables the integration of an ODBC database, such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL
Server, into the document management system as an alternative to DocuWare's standard
database.
CONNECT to R/3 interface enabler to allow search and retrieve SAP R/3 created
documents.

DocuWare has the same starting positions as other software-based document management
systems, such as a standard package that does not include OCR or text extraction capabilities.
Furthermore, scanned and electronic documents are the only input source. DocuWares

DOCUMENTUM 4I EBUSINESS EDITION
Documentum 4I eBusiness Edition is a platform for building enterprise level, end to end
content management solutions, addressing content creation and management, web site
management and content delivery and deployment. Documentum is converting their core
product strength of document management to web content management. They continue to
provide traditional document management functions, such as library and document
management, electronic and paper capture, document distribution, workflow, versioning,
annotation, browsing, viewing and retrieval. However, the 4i Edition adds several key web
content and management features, including web publishing, high-speed delivery of content,
site management and content personalization.

Documentum is targeting Global 2000 and Internet companie s in a variety of industries


(manufacturing, pharmaceutical, financial services, engineering, construction and
telecommunications) where the need to manage content is considered mission critical.

Documentum 4i enables these e-business-critical applications:


Commerce sites fuelled by product catalogues and other Web content
Portals that transform massive amounts of disparate internal content into organised,
functional intranets, serving multiple languages and world-wide locations
Business-to-business exchanges powered by e-business transactional content
Corporate "libraries" or "vaults" for managing published, business-critical content in a
centrally accessible repository
Compliance with standards and regulatory rulings that govern how a company does
business

The solution is primarily a development platform, as opposed to an out of the box solution,
with a getting started price tag of well over $200,000. Generally, it is not considered a direct
competitor to the eCabinet.

eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide

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

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 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.

eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide

Target Markets & Channels

Target Markets

eCabinet 2100 will be available to all operating companies.

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.

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. In MIDAS
successful stories of other markets will be shared.

eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
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

Rent it to a customer, while the customer is charged on a usage- measure (Pay-per-View):


Advantage: customer lock- in and usage-driven;
Disadvantage: hard to implement and administer in current systems:

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.

eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
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:

Installation & Administration Overview

Installation
General Set-up Considerations and Limitations

Prior to commencing the installation of an eCabinet, it is necessary to complete a CII (Critical


Installation Information) to ensure a smooth and fast installation. The survey includes
information on the network configuration, as it applies to the LAN environment, IP addresses,
devices or peripherals to be connected to the eCabinet and the assigning of an IP address and
domain name for the eCabinet.

eCabinet

Installing and configuring the eCabinet involves the following major steps:

1. Installing the eCabinet on the network.


2. Assigning a network address to the eCabinet using the keypad.
3. Connecting/identifying the capture devices attached to the network.
4. Creating an initial set of users and/or groups.
5. Installing PC Capture on the client PCs.
6. Test the systems.

PC Capture (Client)

1. To install and configure PC Capture, on a client PC, you must have administrative
privileges.
2. Insert the eCabinet Client Software CD into the CD-ROM drive of the PC (note, in
eCabinet 2.1 you have the option to download the PC Capture software directly from the
eCabinet)
3. Follow the installation wizard instructions to install and set preferences.
4. Install (if desired) browser, Adobe Acrobat Reader and the WinZip utility.
5. Create one or more printers for print capture (If desired).

43
eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
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.

The eCabinet administrative functions include:

Settings : Manage and edit users and group accounts, mana ge 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

LCD/Keypad interface : Access disks (back up media and software upgrades), manually
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.

44
eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide

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.

ICB-1 Power Supply

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 should open in the browser.

Applications that DO NOT have a MIME type

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.

45
eCabinet 2100 Product Information Guide
- 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

CPMR308/b Product Information Guide

Executive Summary CPMR308/b

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:

Improved Paper Feeding


Paper Weight up to 209 g/m2
Auto Image Rotate
Combined 2-Originals (A4 + A4 = A4)
Energy Save Mode
Increased Master Eject Capacity up to 80 A4

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.

Markets & Applications


The Market
The low end market is the largest market segment for CopyPrinters. Since the launch of Riso's CR
Series and Duplo's DP21/23, competition has become particularly intense. In fact, market analysis
shows that 70% of the market today is concentrated on the low end machine. Therefore, the
5308/b/1225/B/CP308/b is a particularly important strategic model, as it offers further
enhancements to the current model.

The following are examples of targeted markets:

Existing account base - customers looking to replace old machines or looking for a more
feature-rich CopyPrinter at an affordable price.
Copier users whose requirements for multiple copies of the same original would make
the use of a CopyPrinter more economical.
New users with an application of high copy volume and high copy per original (i.e.
restaurants, leisure centres, auctioneers, etc.).

With added enhancements & features of the 5308/b/1225/B/CP308/b at the same price of the
5306/b/1224/B/CP306/b, we are confident that it will again be well accepted in the traditional
CopyPrinter market.

Target Market Segments

Education - Schools/Colleges/Universities
Church/Religious Organisations
Non-profit
Government
Hospitals/Medical Centres
Associations/Clubs
Leisure Industry
Research institutions
Auctioneers - information pamphlets, auction lists
Armed Forces/Police Departments
Travel and Leisure - races, events, festivals, large conference organisers
Hotels, restaurants - menus, place mats, table stands, welcome (hotel)
information, safety procedures.
Tourist Boards - maps, local information, special event listings

For our current customer base, this is a reliable, easy to use product which will further ease their
workload. For current and new printing business, it is an extremely competitive product to counter
Riso and Duplo.

Marketing Support Material


The launch of the CPMR308/b is critical to the continuation of the success NRG has had so far in
marketing Low-end CopyPrinter products. The CPMR308/b will replace the CPMR306/b in our
current CopyPrinter product line the CPMR306 series has been responsible for our success in re-
capturing a substantial percentage of market share through 1999. This means that this launch has to
be carefully supported by a series of MarComs materials.

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.
