These new, network ready digital color copier/printers represent the final additions to Brother’s new color laser product lines, and use the same new single-pass laser print engine utilized in the HL-4000 Printer Series and MFC-9000 All-in-One Series launched earlier this year. “With the introduction of these products we can now address the needs of small workgroups seeking reliable and easy to use

In addition, ScanRouter EX now has even more options for file formatting to better fit into customers’ work environments. Searchable PDF, PNG, JPG and TIFF are just a few of the file types supported by ScanRouter EX. With ScanRouter EX, users can send files to a variety of destinations, such as an e-mail, folder, in

We have the Savin version in our showroom. Looks good. Same as the Savin 3815 fax, but has a platen also. Smells a little like a Samsung or Brother but documentation indicates its a Ricoh OEM. Feeder seems more reliable than the Savin AC205. A good tool to compete against the big box office supply chains and catalogue companies. Fits many needs, small laser printer, fax machine, convenience copier. With the price being so low any company can afford one. I guess the real question would be how

We have been running into this machine a lot. Any tips on defeating it? Also most of the competitive offers include 500 "free" color pages per month - any idea on how much xerox is building into the deal to cover this? Thanks!

I have a word document that when printed, the first letter of both words in the title come out a different color than the rest of the words. The font is the same, but the first two letters are at font size 100 compared to 80 for the rest of the words. But if I change all letters to 80, everything is fine. I have printed it on a C2525 (RPCS & PCL5c), CLP26 (RPCS, PCL5c and PS). the only time it worked is when i printed to the CLP26 PS. Has onyone else ran into this? Or have any suggestions on

My customer has a Savin C2824 and would like all incoming faxes forwarded to a folder. Their IT support says they've seen a Kyocera Mita do this and send a notification to the person whose PC the folder is on. Does anyone know of an application that will do this? My other alternative I guess would be email notification. Any ideas?

Being a Ricoh/Kyocera dealer, we have out a bunch out in the market place. An they all are running great. So I don't know why other dealers are having problems, but we are not.

We have a customer with a Savin C3535 they want to print 8.5x11 full bleed. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

They only have one model,and that 3650w has been nothing but problems for us, not sure if it really matters if kyocera has a wide format or not. quote: Originally posted by Art Post: Heard from a well respected source that Kyocera will be eliminating its wide format systems.

I don't think this would work for the customer as they need to have the lever up so that they can print to both upper and lower exits. If it is the lever that is messing up the logic, they will still be in the same predicament. Thanks for the suggestion!

Its kind of true. All Kyocera's own wide format have ceased production. The KM-3640w is a remodelled KIP 3000 and the only wide format available through Kyocera right now. And it seems the original KIP version wins this one....

1" border benefits: 1)If they are doing sets of drawings they can staple them together with a BINDING STRIP. This creates a nice, neat package, and in alot of cases, the company can put their logo, address, ect on it. Contractors do this often so the Sub-contractors know where the prints came from: it's advertising. 2) for in-house prints it allows for notes to be written on the edges...in BIG letters so there's no mistake about what needs to be changed.

u can remind the IT person that the Kyocera has to have 2 pieces of software loaded on each PC that can only run in startup mode (no service mode)for this to be capable.

I was at an HP onference recently where they explained that they currently have 5% of the TOTAL worldwide printing and imaging market. Then they said, to get to 20%, we'd need to triple our staffing, meaning we'd have to hire 480,000 people. Obviously, we can't do that so we're looking to you (Channel Partners) to do it for us! I mention this because "Buying the channel" is obviously another way to do that.

yep, have them print two up on 12x18 paper and then cut to 8.5 x 11 or you can have customer cut paper for 9x12 and then cut to 8.5 x 11

Art is right. The rule of thumb is that you never print to a bleed, always trim to a bleed.

I'm considering hiring a part-time telemarketer to call phone call companies in our database and see if they are making any equipment changes because are salespeople are too busy and many companies aren't getting called on. Does anyone have this in place? How is it working? Any suggestions on compensation? Thanks!
