producer of copiers and printers, has looked to the Oce deal as a way to generate earnings growth. Canon's net profit plunged by more than half in 2009 amid a slide in sales due to sluggish demand for office equipment, as corporate clients reined in spending amid the economic slump. Canon and Oce products have little overlap, with the Japanese company strong in regular office machines and mid- to lower-end production printers while Oce excels in high-end and advertisement-use, large-sized printers

instrument. Never sang a note. But I figured: Why should that stop me?" To make it happen, Rogers relied on his best talent -- selling. He cornered some of his musically inclined buddies and pitched the idea of buying gorilla suits and playing cover songs at local bars and summer festivals. And like a middle-aged office manager faced with a Rogers copier sales pitch, the guys bought it. So Rogers quickly taught himself to sing well enough to pass as a primate front man. The Damn Dirty Apes played

Leasing of eight Toshiba copiers for five years at a cost of $83,841, plus 64 cents per color copy is on the agenda during Monday night’s regular Casa Grande City Council meeting.

complementarities of both companies, with only limited overlap in terms of portfolio and geographic spread. As a division of Canon, Océ will remain globally responsible for Wide Format, Commercial Printing and Business Services, headquartered in Venlo. Océ's office activities will be integrated in Canon's Office Imaging Products division. New opportunities will present themselves, but immediate changes in everyday reality will be limited for most of you. Led by a Steering Committee with executives from Canon

I have had a demo comparing samples (files & substrates) on a C6500 with 2M prints on it vs. a showroom X700. There was a bit more detail on the very light (but not quite white) and very dark (but not quite black) parts, and the customer was more satisfied with the output of my C6500. That said, yes, Xerox still has no paper flexibility & will insist on the customer's use of Xerox paper on their machines, whereas you can come in with a wider variety of substrates (not to menion envelopes!)

Some but not all Toshiba Saddle Stitch Finishers can do the "fall into the box" trick. You have to remove part of the output hopper and disconnect a sensor. I believe for the 35 - 45 cpm Black and Colour Copiers these Finishers are actually relabelled Canon product.

quote: Originally posted by Mr. Copy: I agree with Boston Mike's comments on finding out what the prospect is looking for. I have sold the C6501 and C5501 against the Xerox and I have won for certain reasons and lost for other reasons. Xerox has good image quality, but has demonstrated poor paper handling. I disagree that the Xerox 700 has addressed a lot of issues. If you look closely, the 700 engine has not been updated, they are using the same technology as the DC242,252,260 models. The only

One copier just won't do for the clerk of the district court, the county attorney and other attorneys involved in court at the Clay County Courthouse. Lanna Nichols, new administrator of the 21st Judicial District Court asked the Clay County Commission Monday to buy a copier. Commissioners did not decide to buy a copy machine, first asking to explore other options than the $5,000 quote Nichols brought from Central Office Service and Supply. The problem with the copy machine currently being used

That sounds like several cases that I have worked. You should call the Software and Solutions team. We have some ways of looking at the print drivers and print steam that can determine what the actual problem is. From what you are describing, the ERP system is not fully PCL compatible. The functions that are not showing up are driven in the Windows section of the print process. That is what usually is the case and sometimes the driver needs to be looked at, sometimes the application. I
