I'm not normally involved in this area at our dealership, but we have a new account with a MPC3500spf in a Mac (OS10.5.4) inviornment that would like to implement Network Faxing. Is this possible with a Mac? Also, they are having issues with printing from Photoshop CS3 where they get an error message of "No %% bounding box: comment in heater". In doing some quick research I've come to the conclusion that it is an OS10.5.4 issue as many different printers/MFP (not just RIcoh MPC3500's) are

Just The Facts, Please "I told a prospect that I'd follow up within a week. Two weeks later, I figured I missed my chance and they went with someone else." Sound familiar? Effective salespeople don't guess themselves into a sale. To ensure you're operating with the facts, ask yourself this, "Do I have evidence to support my assumption or how I'm feeling?" Enjoy the peace of mind that comes from gaining clarity rather than drowning in the stories that you believe are true.

Notes from the Savin price book: (22) The Wide Format Color Scanner (100117FNG) requires either a MP W2400, MP W3600, or SP W2470 on the network and turned on to activate the scanner. (23) The Wide Format Color Scanner includes scanner unit, scanner stand, monitor bracket and cable channeling. This unit requires a PC and a touch screen monitor that must be purchased locally.

I went on site today and tried that route and still no dice. I also tried everything under the sun to try and get the driver to acknowledge that it had custom paper in the drawer. Also, I even had problems printing the paper from the bypass with the driver fully configured. Very odd problem, indeed.

Yes. I can copy to the trays (I tried tray 2 and bypass) with no problems at all. However, when it comes to printing, it's giving me a type mismatch even though I've set everything under the sun to make this work.

Great information. If the predictions here are correct (I have no reason to doubt), the shift we've been making as an industry (more print, more consolidation) should turn out well for us.

ART, CURIOUS WHERE YOU FOUND THIS - I'D LIKE THE ORIGINAL FOR MY 'PITCHBOOK'. FOLKS DON'T BEIEVE SALESTYPE BUT IF THEY READ IT ITS GOSPEL!
