This Week in the Copier Industry 15 Years Ago
Third Week of April 2007
For years I thought working Good Friday was a waste of my time. In fact I can't remember the last Good Friday that I worked because I always took the day as my vacation day. This year I changed it up because I needed to change things up since I was in a hole from last month.......(read the blog tomorrow for the rest of the story)

Printing Excel Spreadsheet to a 240W
I have a prospect that needs to have an excel spreadsheet printed that is approximately 7-8 feet long. His old OCE 9400 drivers can do it but apparently not the newer drivers. When I set a page size such as 36x60, I can print to the 240W and all columns of the spreadsheet will print. If I set the size longer, only a portion of the columns will print. Also, according to the customer, if they specify 36x60 on the OCE, the spreadsheet will fill the entire page. On the 240W, I can get the

We’ll here is what I’ve heard and some of what you might already anticipate. Within 3-6 months all of the Global dealerships will sell Xerox. This impacts all independent Xerox distributors in our marketplaces. In our case the Global dealer is dual line Canon and Lanier. I do not expect Canon, RFG, and possible KM to sign off on the sale, which means they will be seeking new representation in each Global marketplace. If anyone signs off, it will be KM because they have the most to loose and

There does not seem to be a way to check to see if the scaling is off on the printer or on the customer side. I did adjust the customer software and the problem is better. My files that I use to run test prints off my notebook are fine on other 3000's but this one they are off. I hope there is a firmware update to correct this.

Re: Fax forwarding, etc. with efi versions of color boxes?
Just to confirm, there is no fax forwarding with the EFI Series. The Fiery itself doesn't support fax (except scan-to-internet fax via Fiery Scan), so there would be no way to get the fax file where it needed to go. (The Ethernet cable only connects to the Fiery, not the MFP.)
