I have a situation with a 2090 where I need the machine to give me face up out put when printing. The machine will give me face up out put when copying but not when printing. The reason we need this is they are running preprinted forms with a peel off lable at the bottom of the page. Any ideas?

Hey Jim: Actually, I uploaded the IT Chat document in the BERTL forum this morning. Thank you for your kind words on the article, however I'll have to keep selling copiers to bring home the Bacon! No ITEX for me, I'm off to Myrtle Beach this weekend (my son's College Baseball team), was in Petersburg, Va a few days ago, and then I'm off to Fort Pierce, FL for ten days the first weeks of March (more college baseball). I'm going to try to make ITEX next year, hopefully MLB will draft my guy this

I'm taking the pre-req's for the edgeline now. It's a product that has a niche market. The paper feeds from the tray up a verticle transport across the top of the machine, down the other side to a decurler. The decurler bends the paper so it will fit the drum better. A bonding agent first sprayed onto the paper before the ink is applied. It next goes to a dryer and back out to the decurler to be duplexed or sent to the finisher. It's a variable speed printer. Heavy ink coverage may

We are a Standard Business Machines dealer and I'm sure I have a demo on CD of their version of the Ricoh model equivalent though not recent one. Would this be helpful?

Thanks Doc & Greg, A new charge was strung @ 50K. I used 2 bags of developer and cleaned the charge assy. I have a new drum on order. I have a feeling the new drum will take care of the light background on the left side when printing from files, However, I have a feeling the heavy background when scanning originals is a seperate issue.

Check to see if your customer is printing from Word Perfect. If so make sure the MFP is selected in word Perfect as the default.

Send the print job to the document server and then print from the doc server, this is logical and should work, please let me know. If you need me to check a 2090 I can check when I get back in town!

I would like to know what is a fair commission plan for someone who brings in $300K of GP from sales cost. Please give me salary, commish % and what you think the rep should make that year.
