accounts with 400 of the state's 600 school districts. But in 2004, Stewart was acquired by Global Imaging Systems. This year, Xerox bought Global, which lost the right to sell Savin. KDI "could never get authorized [to sell Savin copiers] because of Stewart," Peach said. Once it did, he said, the company made $350,000 in its first month in South Jersey. KDI also offers products from Okidata, HP, Toshiba and Lexmark. The business was started back in the late '80s by Rick Salcedo, its president and

Tuesday, November 6, 2007 Top Copier Equipment Leasing Companies for Office Dealers I ask you, what do customers hate more when they are dis-satisfied with Office Equipment Leasing Companies? Yep, it us the sales people that put them into a bad lease. Most reps who have been in the business awhile know about some of the pitfalls of a good equipment leasing company and a not so good one.

I'll admit, maybe I couldn't see the ocean through the fog when I pummeled the new Ricoh W2470 printer over Ricohs pricing. In four recent appointments for wide format, I was asked about color scanning on three occasions. This got me thinking, I don't have an all in one box for wide format color scanning, mono printing and copying. However, not many of my competitors have these either. The OCE TDS 450 combines a scanner and printer along with the Xerox 510DP. I then asked myself why can't I

recieve faxes in 11" and 14". You have to pick one or the other. That really baffles me because you can recieve in both sizes with the 3550 (Sammy 5530), even from the bypass. I guess you can resolve this by fax forwarding to email. But most customers still like to have the real deal in their grimey little hands. You know that old saying about old dogs! The next issue is the one I think alot of my customers are going to complain about. When you try to do a long run of even one document with 14% or

KIP does have the Touch Screen and the ability to copy color original, not plot a file to a Wide Format Ink Jet. With the RATIO Touch Screen Interface & Plotbase|PM, you have many more features: - Use virtually any WF color Scanner - Add many more WF Ink Jets, LED's and/or small format printers to the configuration - Complete accounting / Invoice generating application (not just a spreadsheet as KIP offers) - Regular Windows PC is much faster for scanning and plotting (especially large color

This seems to be a pretty good box but I have seen some problems. First of all if you have the Muratec machine, make sure you don't forget to put the Muratec sticker over the Samsung label!!! LOL One pain in the ass thing is having to tell the machine what size paper is in the tray whenever you refill the tray or load the bypass. I can understand and accept having to set the bypass size but not the main trays!!! Kinda stooooopid if you ask me. Also you can't recieve faxes in 11" and 14". You

I would put the memory in and see what happens, it could be that the scanned images (copies) are much larger than the print file. The unit scans to memory first for copying and then starts to print. Let me know. Samsung should have released a firmware update at this time for the job accounting feature. This was also a feature that we had problems with.

Sorry Art, I guess I was a little vague in my explanation. I actually scanned the test sheet into my PC with our 3800cmf at 300dpi then just sent it as a print job to the Samsung. So far we haven't been given a price on the memory upgrade. Still waiting for it. We're gonna let Muratec figure it out on their time and money first before we go buying a bunch of memory boards to correct this problem. I'm sure Al at Muratec will let back to me soon on this one. He's usually really good at
