This error printed from a Savin C230 after the customer printed a picture they downloaded from the web. What is an illegal media source? The customer thought Big Brother was watching them, because this error came after each document they printed from Word, Excel, the web, everything. I turned the machine off and back on, and when we printed again from the same sources, the errors did not come back. Any suggestions?

printing per month? We've always seen problems with envelopes and the Ricoh/Savin hardware (as well as many laser printers). For the time and frustration, when our customers are looking for something to run a bunch of envelopes on I'd recommend a $50 inkjet anyday over an MFP. It's just the right tool for the job. No pressure, no fusing, minimal page coverage. But, you sacrifice image quality and the waterproof of laser.

Keep in mind the previous August Poll was for July, so here is the August Sales Quota Poll! I'm always interested in hopw everyone is doing across the country, with the recent news of the debt in the US, and the slow growth or no growth it could be good for us to gauge were we are as a group with quotas. Please take the time to vote every month, I'll post a new poll for each month! We'll even do a quarterly!

I always test our MFP's scan to email capabilities with our Exchange Server and our ISP's SMTP server. For some reason, I cannot get this product to scan using the ISP's server. I can get all of the other Savin products in our showroom to scan to email with the ISP's mail server, but not this one. Has anyone else ran into this problem? Does anyone have a solution? Thanks!

They aren't in the price book, so I assume they are not available. Even on the products for which the keyboards are available, they are only compatible with a few solutions, such as eCopy and GlobalScan. Sharp has a big leg up here since there keyboards are compatible with out-of-the-box scanning as well as OSA apps. I don't know why Ricoh doesn't do the same.

I know we have keyboards & mounting kits available for most of our color products but I have not been able to find them for A4 Savin C230 (Ricoh Aficio MP C400). Does anyone know if there are keyboards available for these? Thanks

Illegal media source simply means that the requested paper tray was not present on the device. Most likely the printer lost communication with a paper tray and rebooting the printer restored it. PCL5 will give a lot fewer errors (at the tradeoff of lesser image quality, some users won't notice or care).

I think that or compressing the file prior to printing are the leaders in the clubhouse right now.

I'm in the same boat OldGlory. I have a bank coming to end of lease in September and the new A4 would be perfect. The customer is looking to downsize their fleet of 13 three year old Lanier mid volume A3 machines. Problem is I have to quote based on what I have now....not on what I might have in October. Could cost me the deal as my competition is in with 42ppm Kyocera A4 tabletops. I am also a Kyocera dealer and would rather not wind up being the lowest bidder to sell Kyocera tabletops

I'm willing to bet a 72MB .pdf would print just as slowly.

Once it gets to the printer, you are correct. For some reason, the Mac processes the PDF faster that the Power Point. The result was the same on a Lexmark and HP, so the customer realized it wasn't a hardware issue but a file size issue.

I am not sure I quite understand the question either. I can tell you of all the factors, understanding the projected print volume becomes the most important. It is hard to calculate the rest without it.

If they have a lot of pictures in their Power Point presentation they may want to check into the resolution/size. I've run into the same thing with Publisher. Schools wanting to print yearbooks or playbills where every picture is greater than 2 MB.
