The Week in Copiers 10 Years Ago This Week 2010
There was an interesting topic on the forums 10 years ago
haha "You Wanted the Multifunctional Copier When?"
In this time of COVID I've found that prospecting by email and Linkedin is far better than making calls. Try and think of it this way, when you're at work you don't want to be interrupted with taking a call. Thus you'll let everything go to voice mail unless that phone number is one that you know. Emails are are opened all day long and most will read them at a later time. One of the reasons the subject line is so important.

The district fired back that it broke no laws, picked the best company and went with a bid that was only slightly more costly. Corey Ayling, the district's lawyer, said the deal with Ricoh will cost the district only $573 more a month.

I made a comment that what's the big deal about hurting A3 sales, since all of the money is in the consumables? Seems now there is quite a bit of profit in the A3 devices as I'm told. BTW new wide format to replaced the aged W3600 has been pushed back to November.

Lanier LD245?
I have a question about the Lanier LD245 + fax (which is a Ricoh unit). Lets say if there is a 100 page fax that is coming in. Can you make a copy and or print while the fax line is tied up? Does the incoming fax seize up the machine? Then everything else sits in the queue. Thanks for your help!
Reply
Re: Lanier LD245?
If the machine is printing a fax, the user will be able to copy the document, meaning it will scan the originals and after the fax has been received the copy process will start, same is true of printing to the device while it is printing a fax.
