I have a law office using this fax option. They want to have legal transmissions that come in reduced to letter. I have changed the bit switches that should make this adjustment but I have been unsuccessful in getting this to work. Attached is a User Parameters List showing the switches. Does anyone know how to make this work?

Does anyone know how to set the fax up to print a journal automatically once a week? I also need some guidance on using restricted access codes and making them work. I set some up, but the machine doesn't seem to use them. Thanks.

1) The best way from a company point of view is to bill by the hour. If you’re just installing a print or fax driver on one or two PC’s, this should not take long. However when you get into scanning to folder or email, you need settings that some customer have know idea what you’re talking about.

Jim - I only get this report when I scream loud enough to our corporate office about backorders (like I've been screaming about the 240W). I will make available every time I see one. I think...our purchasing agent gets this info from our East Region Allocations people at Ricoh - I would think they would provide this info to anybody on an allocations list for backorders?

I agree! Why keep us in the dark about back orders. Having a list like this enables us to plan our selling cycles plus tell the customer in advance of a potential back order. Brad, would be great if you could get this from time to time. Art

I haven't done a wireless setup, but for network, it was plug and play. I did have a problem the last time when I could not access the printer from the control panel. It showed up on the network and could print, but the 1515mf would not see it. Come to find out, the firmware card was not properly seated. It evidently had come loose during shipping.

Can anyone tell me where to find all the technical and sales manuals for the FX16. Thanx
