Ricoh MPC6000 vs Xerox WC7665

Just got hammered on the 2400dpi vs 600dpi on Ricoh. I didn't think you could get 2400dpi on a laser system. I obviously didn't do a good job with the customer. Any ideas on the resolution difference?

"well, maybe they could put the finisher on a rotating platform so instead of sliding out a yard, it just moves half a foot or so and the rotates. This would allow me to free a jam and reduce the 12' foot print closer to 6 feet." My response, "interesting...and, does your Konica Minolta do this now? How about

MP C3500 Bypass Tray Printing

We installed an MP C3500 and once the printer was configured, the customer said that when they try to print multiple pages from any of the 4 trays, and press print, the machine beeps and says to change the settings in the bypass tray. I have tried to select the individual trays, as well as auto select and get the same outcome with the bypass tray. Is there a setting I am not seeing?

Re: Ricoh MPC6000 vs Xerox WC7665

Mr. Copy (Guest) ·
You are just lucky that they did not bring up the fact that the Xerox is 8 bit vs the Ricoh 4 bit. Whenever someone starts talking about resolution say that 600x600 is true dpi. Anything over 600x600 is an emulation. Simply put, the machine guesses where dots should go so your solids tend to be inconsistent. See if that works.

Re: MP C3500 Bypass Tray Printing

The customer loaded the RPCS driver, and printed pages remotely just fine. I tested the settings down here, and from Word, it tried from the bypass tray, but when I printed an Exce doc, the page came out fine from tray 1. Light bulb came on and I checked the Page Settings in Word, and yes, the bypass tray was selected as default. I changed the setting to Auto Paper Select, and now all applications print fine. Thanks for your help. Now I have a happy customer.

Re: Embedded Controller and batch printing

·
I am having the same issues when trying to batch print PDF's. I downloaded DTB lite and tried that as well. You can drag the files and create a new document, but the embedded controller is processing the smallest file size first. By doing this, the files are then printed out of sequence. Not acceptable, the beauty of the embedded controller was to make this machine easy to use for the average user. Even DTB for someone that is not totally computer literate is confusing at times.
