The Week in Copiers Ten Years Ago Second Week of November
There was a meeting today with five of the Governors from our region to discuss additional measures for trying to keep a lid on surge of cases we are experiencing. Almost 10,000 cases since for this weekend. Tomorrow we'll find out if there will be additional sanctions for businesses and people. On Facebook most are posting that want a shut down like we had in March and April. No doubt whatever the outcome of tomorrow is it's going to get ugly. More to come in tomorrow night's blog.
Enjoy these awesome copiers threads from ten years ago!

I had this question pop up in a demo last week, and our Sales Engineer told me that there is a code that can be input in Service Mode that will enable Print-from-USB on the RFG equipment. I emailed our DSS and confirmed. The first thing I did was revise pricing I had submitted to a church w/ the same need, because initially I had proposed a desktop Lexmark MFP as a second device to provide this feature.

Yes, I agree, we only picked up the Sammies for monochrome no color, we've stuck with Ricoh for that. I just hoping Ricoh doesn't screw it up with higher cpp than the A3 color machines.....something is telling me that the A4 color will be higher, however I hope I'm wrong. If A4 color price is higher than A3 color, that leaves the door open for someone to develop a color A4 with A3 cpp pricing.

Never lost a deal to this but came close about a year ago. Ended up bundling in a Ricoh 1000sf that has this as a standard feature into the deal. It ran $315 retail plus shipping and it was a wash when looking at costs of adding the USB scan to option on the Ricoh device. Not sure if that 1000sf is still around or not though.
