Is anyone able to tell me if the Kyocera Taskalfa C5052ci series has been discontinued? Is Marco Business Products a Kyocera dealer? If not, will they convert their acquired company's product lines to sell only the manufacturers they represent on their website (Canon, Sharp, KonicaMinolta, Toshiba)? Basically, will the acquired company no longer sell the Kyocera product line no that they are part of Marco? Thank you in advance!

Help?!? We have a law firm that wanted PaperCut but REALLY liked their eCopy scan stations for their Ricohs Our issue is that when they try use /access scanstation to scan it says the scan-station is in use by another user. We’re are using twain scan version 5 and papercut has been set to allow host based authentication from their end. Based on past experiences with embedded software , once a user logged into embedded it wouldjust open to the copier where they could scan with ecopy easy peasy.

Just an FYI. I would do your homework and testing on this machine before putting it somewhere where scanning is important. We replaced a Samsung and added three of these to a lawyers office and they do no like the scanning much at all. Lots of jams so far. The feeder seems to be very sensitive to torn corners, creases etc. More so than any other feeder I've seen on a machine.

John, Does the user want to track scanning done on the ScanStation? If so, you would need to engage Ricoh and/or your PaperCut provider to create a ticket. But before I would do that, I would try the basics first, firmware up to date on the MFP and Java if it is installed on Java, then the latest version of PaperCut that is supported on the MFP. If they don't want to track ScanStation scanning, try setting the Authentication on the MFP to not require authentication for Scanning. These

where the market is headed and stop pushing what they deem relevant based on their stubbornness to change. There are still too many actors in the Imaging Channel weighted heavily with product centric mindsets. It’s time to re-evaluate how your sales teams go to market; it’s time to re-evaluate how you maintain and collect customer data, it’s time to re-evaluate the investments you are making in products on the fringes of the core deliverable. Dealers must be first in their markets to switch

Thanks so much for replying I've been banging my head with so many different "not my job" responses from vendors it's driving to an early happy hour. They'd like to track the scans but like you said I'm just trying to see if we can get the ecopy to unlock period. Cheers
