Just like how the electric company needs to read the electric meter on your home, your office technology provider periodically needs to take the meter reading on your copier. Doing so not only helps your copier vendor know how to properly…
From time to time, your Ricoh copier system will request for you to change your consumables and this includes you toner and waste toner bottles.

All good things must come to an end and such is the case for Google Cloud Print — Google’s cloud-based printing solution. Google to end Google Cloud Print support.

From time to time, your Ricoh copier system will request for you to change your consumables and this includes you toner and waste toner bottles.
Here is how to change the waste toner bottle on a Ricoh 03 and newer 04 series copier.
When people say to “read between the lines,” they’re not talking about the lines on copies from a copier.
Well, at least we hope not. If you find yourself “reading between the lines” on your copies, don’t worry. Those lines can be quickly…
A penny saved is a penny earned, or so the saying goes. So if saving mere pennies is an accomplishment, how does 80,000 pennies saved per month sound? That’s what we did for one of our clients, a private university here in Oklahoma City…
Some people have skeletons in their closets, others elephants in their rooms, but this client, who handles the information technology matters an Oklahoma City-based private university said she had an ape problem on campus…
Ever hear that expression “Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water?” Well, if you’re going to get rid of a copier without checking the security of the information on its hard drives, you’re going to do exactly that. You see, the baby…
Most business networks run invisibly until the moment they don’t. Files open, email flows, applications respond, and nobody thinks about the routers, switches, and firewalls quietly moving all that traffic — right up until a switch fails, an internet circuit drops, or a misconfigured firewall blocks half the office from
The business phone system rarely gets attention until it fails — and then it gets all of it at once. A dropped call with a major client, a phone tree that routes customers into voicemail purgatory, a new office that can’t get lines installed for weeks: communication problems interrupt revenue
Cyber threats have moved from “if” to “when” for businesses of every size. Attackers scanning networks for weak spots don’t discriminate by industry, revenue, or headcount — they’re looking for vulnerabilities, and any business connected to the internet ends up on someone’s target list eventually. The businesses that recover cleanly
Physical mail hasn’t gone away. Invoices, statements, notices, contracts, appeals, marketing pieces, court filings, patient communications, and regulatory correspondence still move by mail in enormous volumes across every industry. The volume shows up on the operations side as labor, on the postage bill as expense, and on the budget as
Every few months a new headline lands about a firewall breach, and the natural reaction is to ask, “Are we exposed?” The latest one—an exposure researchers are calling FortiBleed—is worth your attention, but not for the reason most coverage suggests. The real story isn’t a single vendor’s stumble. It’s that the legacy VPN
Documents are the connective tissue of every business. Invoices, contracts, HR records, patient charts, client files, board materials, regulatory filings — every department generates them, every process depends on them, and every audit examines them. When the systems managing all that volume break down, the friction touches everything: approvals stall,
Print costs are notoriously hard to pin down. Nobody on the leadership team can ever say with confidence what the business is actually spending on printing each month — and the answer, when somebody finally digs in, is usually far higher than anyone expected. Toner sits unused on shelves while
When IT systems fail, business doesn’t slow down — it stops. Email goes silent. Files become unreachable. Phones drop. Customers wait. Every minute of downtime carries a cost, and every minute of recovery pulls focus away from the work that’s supposed to be happening. Managed IT exists to keep that
Phone systems don’t get a lot of attention until they stop working. Then they get everyone’s attention at once. For businesses still running aging phone infrastructure — or cobbling together communication tools that were never designed to work together — the cost of inaction shows up in dropped calls, missed
