Can you explain how the locked print / follow me print work ? Like with locked print do they still need to input a user name / password at the computer ?

Only the eCopy fanatics don't like it mostly because they have not tried it thoroughly. With all of the software that comes with PPDM it is a real bargin.It only takes one drink to get me drunk. The problem is I can't remember if it is the thirteenth or fourteenth. - George BurnsComment

Depends on how the user configures their account it seems. They can simply have their icon on the mfp press on that and then the file they want to print on the mfp they want to print it. That or they can password protect the icon so they have to enter a password and or pin protect the actual print.
The user has to set it up so some customers will like it others will not..Comment

app2me is to do with cloud computing bollocks as far as I can see.
Java is standard on the new models now - MP2851/MP3351/MP4001/MP5001Comment

I guess it is Cloud not as in stored remotely via the internet/ outside of the users network from what I could tell the other day, although using the users pc as a server with the MFP as a client.
The print job was stored in the spooler on the users computer from what I found last week as the Admin asked the same question. The scaned file also seems to be stored on the PC.Comment

Setup APP2Me today. What an Intrusive Piece of Slow Garbage. Requires GOOGLE DESKTOP. That is a huge strike against it already. And Slow.. Did I mention Slow. Having to walk up to a machine and selecting Embedded Feature, User, App2Me print and then your job is such a hassle.
Never could get the Scan to work. Kept saying my settings were incompatible. WTF its B&W 200dpi multipage PDF. How hard is that.Comment

I ran into the scanning issue as well. Since the MFP was going to a location that had no use for App2Me, we didn't press the issue. But I was told that there was a Java update avaliable that would take care of that. It was something about the App2Me Manager having a conflict with the version of Java on the MFP. From what I understand, the Manager App was updated, then later found that there was a conflict with one of the versions of Java.
I have not been able to verify this, so... take it for what it's worth.

Sounds like removing the funtion key and replacing it with a blanking plate is a plan

I had to update the java to the latest version so it worked with the 1.5 version of the manger app.I ran into the scanning issue as well.

It seems to be for small offices/workplaces who dont have locked down networks, the customers we have installed it in like it but I guess not sutiable for all customers..Comment

Re: Anyone used APP 2 ME yet
Just as I was about to try it for the first time, I'm told that it has been discontinued.

Re: Anyone used APP 2 ME yet
I find most of these java based applications to date unimpressive.
The only one I like is follow me printing using magnetic tags as it's simple, quick to use and does actually serve a useful purpose.
Apart from that I often ponder how many different ways are they going to come up with to do the same old tasks?
IMHO Ricoh should concentrate on improving core built-in / out of the box functions.
E.G
Instead of just a LDAP search function they should allow the scanning user list to be actively populated straight from LDAP.
Have it automatically query the server for changes and have the frequent users list populated based on hits.
Once it had been initially configured there would be zero maintenance of the user list, I.T support would love it.- Knowledge not shared, is eventually knowledge that becomes lost... like tears in the rain.
