markets offered by the rapid advances in computer technology. The company brought out its own laser printer in 1984; color reproduction technologies, scanners, digital copiers, printers, and plotters were also added to the company's product line. While the company's reprographic activities had long supported the engineering systems market--from its original blueprint papers--the 1980s saw Océ target this arena for further growth. In 1983, Océ launched a wide-format, plain-paper copier adapted to the

Per Image Site,they don't use a specific print driver to print to a device. Not sure how they get around it, but apparently they send the data directly from the software to a printer file (with a predefined profile) as a RTL or a CAL file. Our device list these as being supported, however, out of image site, the 2404 doesn't recognize page size or orientation properly. Equorum is in Atlanta, so I hooked them up with the local office there, they went in and tried to make it work, but were

Image Site from Equorum

I installed a Savin 2404 with the embedded controller at a satellite office, that needs to print from "Image Site". Thier old machine was a older Xerox unit and it worked fine. Everything coming thru from Image Site prints only on 36 x 24 and the page orientation is incorrect. Evidently Image Site creates some type of printer profile, since they claim they don't use the device print drivers. Has anyone had any experience or luck with this software? Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

Canon had just recently come in and outbid Ricoh for a huge dealer in San Fran at the last minute....now a bounty.... Canon has some pretty deep pockets and they are like a cornered animal...a very dangerous combination.

Just think, you could get your check from your employer with no taxes taken out (except Social Security), put it in the bank and gain interest with no taxes paid, buy and sell stocks with no taxes on the gain/loss, etc., etc. The only time you'd have to pay tax

Re: Gas Price Check
How can so many people, left and right of center agree on something yet not see any changes? That was rhetorical...the answer is because ultimately the government gets much of it's power via the tax code. As JasonR says, there would be ways to help the poor but with a national sales tax, even the criminals and drug dealers would pay taxes. Not to equivicate Harvard with criminals but I heard today that Harvard doesn't pay a penny of tax including revenue on a $37 Billion endowment. I am curious

Re: AP3800C unable to print on network
If you are using smart device monitor port and the printer is shared, when an error occurs, the notification will go back to the "print server" machine. I would not recommend using the smart device monitor port, but choosing a TCP/IP port and seeing if that resolves the problem. You may also be able to go to the "print server" if you are using one and a smart device monitor port and see if there are any error notifications.

There were also some problems with the 3800c when it was released where it had problems on 100mb networks. I believe some firmware fixed that, but as a work around, I had a 10mb hub I placed between the printer and network.
