IKON Service pricing on Kyocera
This an email I recieved from a manufacturer rep. I thought this may be of interest to you. (Embedded image moved to file: pic11337.jpg) IKON is now selling and placing three Kyocera b/w models, the KM-3050, 4050 & 5050. Besides the odd fact that IKON is moving b/w sales away from primary providers, Canon & Ricoh, IKON has started a new service plan that is unique, and only available for the three Kyocera b/w models: o Plan A – Customer has no service contract, and must buy all toner and

Savin 8055 SC 672 & SC 991
I have a newer (MR 67134) Savin 8055 that has been throwing SC 672's quite often, usually during print jobs. The SC 672 is never registered in the SC History, although it is filled with SC 991's. It has had the latest firwmware reloaded. All connectors on the controller and motherboard have been checked, along with the DIMM memory.

Fax forwarding, etc. with efi versions of color boxes?
Does anyone have personal experience with the efi controlled C2500/C300/C3500/C4500? I would like to know what functionality is lost when you go to the Fiery Controller. I assume you lose Web Image Monitor but what about fax forwarding to email, add-hoc email, the ability to browse the network, printing to the Doc Server, etc.?

Error msg on MP3500 when printing
We have a MP3500 that has a pop up message everytime they print. The message is "Can't Get Translation Interface" they cancel the message and the job goes ahead and prints, but this is getting annoying to the customer to have to do this everytime. We figured that since they only print Adobe files, that the PS3 would solve it. We added it and the message still appears. Anyone have any thoughts? Ted

Re: LD445c/C4500 Booklets
another follow up, I updated firmware and played with dip switches on finisher bd suspect one wasn't making good electrical connection, even though it looked like it was in correct position according to sticker. I wish I knew what the switches are for, I suspect speed matching. I can create a magazine onto letter SEF when using the copy and print (pcl-6) driver. Doc server still says wrong size for stapling, but will make a booklet where pages are not in correct order. Haven't tried RPCS today

Re: 240w and .pln files
I have another method I did at a customer yesterday. On plotbase server, create another shared folder separate from cfg or ssl etc. I just used the same folder I use for scans ex. c:\scans. Then I install another winprint driver and point it to the scans folder I created. I add the new shared winprint driver to the customer's pc. and when they print to it, the output file which is actually a tif file will end up in the shared folder, which I map a local letter on the client's workstation to get

Re: 240w background
I found out that if the print you are scanning has any type of grey-scaled or photo-like image on it, the scan may look fine on the viewer, but when you go to print, it's really dark in places. Scanner settings in ScanTool need to be tweaked to fix it.

Re: Error msg on MP3500 when printing
Never heard of this one. The error is happening at multiple PCs? What happens if you put your laptop on the network and print to the device?

Re: IKON Service pricing on Kyocera
Very interesting service plan. Being a Kyocera dealer, some things you may need to know. Toner for the KM 3050,4050 and 5050 msrp from Kyocera @ $ 185.00 and yields 34,000, based on 6% coverage. PM kit for the KM 3050 is 400,000 copies, but the KM 4050 and 5050 is 500,000 copies. What we have being told from Kyocera is this is the same machine we sell. There is NO difference.

Re: Ricoh Needs Color Scanning on Next gen Model!
Not sure if anyone has heard, but the new line of wide format will NOT have color scanning! Got this from a very reliable source (our Ricoh WF specialist). Very dissappointing. Just a heads up

aficio 3260/ld160c wim issue
wim only shows a blank screen, url changes to proper long one when http://ipaddress is entered in address bar. smartdevice admin fine scan & print fine telnet fine, used it to toggle http down and up. I don't believe there are any security setting issues. coworker did reset of nib etc.and reseating of connectors, etc. previously I updated firmware, took capture with etherreal and rlog in case any one wants to see, I will post latter if asked. will probably try controller bd.
