Got this just today.... All, Please note that the fax option which will be released at the end of this year for the 55/65/75 series b/w MFPs (still on target for July 14 launch; see model names below) will only be compatible with devices released after the specification change (November mainframe production). The MFPs from the initial production will not be able to be configured with fax because of the extensive hardware modification that would be necessary. This will be for the 55/65/75 page

Well, here we go! Will this be the system that changes the industry from laser to ink? Ricoh is set to launch a new Gel Jet MFP. Download the specs and tell me what you think. Me thinks almost all consumables will be lost, no more drum, no more developer, no more cleaning blades, fusers, etc. This document has been archived, please send me an email if you are interested in purchasing and elite membership that will unlock all documents. art@p4photel.com 20060622100714743.pdf

You can see pics of it on the Ricoh japan site. Its called the MP1500c. I'm not sure where the price point will be but the range that was initially discussed was around 3K to 4K cost. That was a while ago so it may have changed. FWIW the 3 systems we have had out for a few months have run well with no real service calls except for minor issues with cleaning the print heads.

Was anyone / everyone aware that Plotbase Pm was now available?

Copy and print at 22 cpm/ppm. Scan color at up to 4800 x 4800 dpi (enhanced). Fast-moving offices move even faster. Copy at 22 cpm and 1200-sheet capacity (with optional 550- sheet cassette). Print 1200 dpi laser prints, save with One-Touch TonerSave. Scan color images at up to 4800 x 4800 dpi (enhanced). Share with the optional network. And fax with the SCX-6320F fast 33.6 Kbps modem.

I recently hooked up a 4018d to a network. All PC's on network can print and LAN-fax, but scan router is not working. I did all the correct exceptions on the firewall, and tcp/ip settings. I did notice that when I plugged the CAT5e cable into the 4018d, the ORANGE light goes out and the GREEN light comes on. Would that affect anything? I'm just a little confused because of the fact that printing works and it can be pinged by all PC's on network. Also, all PC's on network can see each other. ANY

We don't sell those particular two models, but we use Memory Experts for almost all our memory. We've had excellent results with Memory Experts' product and service, and I recommend them. "Generic" is misleading, though. In some cases, particularly with Konica, Memory Experts is the manufacturer that Konica buys from in the first place and then resells to you. Look and see if there is a CAN RAM sticker on the memory; if there is, it's from Memory Experts.

We had some customers try these units out and had primarily favorable responses. It’s going to be a real niche product so you will have to be careful where you place them. I think small accounts and small work groups that currently have inkjet printers would be a good prospect. Also segment 1 b/w systems where there is a limited need for color would be good. The speed and quality of these systems are going to be the limiting factor. It’s reasonably good quality but not near a laser. They do run

YES, the same for Ricoh

Open the DF, remove the two screws on either side of the plate where the paper enters the platen, LHS, and clean the optosensor and reflector plate.

During Prospecting Be Tenacious. Keep trying new ways to get the account. Send prospects new and updated information that might assist them in making their decision. Keep sending notes, faxing, and emailing ideas of value to them. Or send the a chocolate sneaker with a card that says “Now that I got one foot in the door, I ‘d like to find ways we can help your organization with our products and services.” When the time comes to buy, it is your name – and your tenacity – they will remember.

Hi gang...I've seen this before but can't remeber the fix. Trying to print a plt and error omes up: "RTL-non bi-level images supported". That's all the info I have from a distant 240 user. thanks.
