This Week in the Copier/Office Equipment Industry 10 Years Ago (1st Week of January 2004)

First a little of bit of news: On January 3rd 2004 the first of the Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit, has successfully landed on theMartian surface with a "very strong signal" being received from the lander. It was a tense few minutes as no signal was received from the lander during the minutes while it bounced over the surface. Mission Control is described as being a wild place with the mission scientists very happy. 
 
What a beautiful night!!  SNOW, and lot's of it.  I took the little brown dog out for a short walk and since she's a transplant from South Carolina, she was not sure what to make of the SNOW.  You may have guessed it, but I'm a SNOW fanatic, it could SNOW for three days and I would just love it!!!!

First, what 50cpm Toshiba color are y'all talking about? I can't find a 50cpm Toshiba color on their website or in the books. The only 50cpm colors I can find are Canon and Konica. Second, Toshiba makes SHARP's 55-65-80 cpm B/W, not the other way ...

Unfortunately my sources say the 2035/45 will not have an upgrade path for SMB. Ricoh will have a 2035e/2045e sometime in the second quarter that will have all the features of 2022/27.

Art, I think that is accurate and I was confusing the topic with creative color. The temporary creative color solution will be Toshiba OEM. I'm surprised nobody commented on Toshiba having access to the 2090/2105.

Source I have said any graphics color in the next 2-3 years will be toshiba OEM. I post questions on the league and the silence is deafing. Some posted a rumor about ricoh relableing konica or something like that a Dave jump all over that and said the...

Sources told me the 50ppm color laser printer is Ricoh's OEM product. I was not aware of a 50ppm copier to be released by Ricoh. I was aware of the 32ppm copier printer (toshiba OEM).We'll have to do some more checking!

The 50ppm color system is Toshiba OEM. Other rumor is the trade off will be that Ricoh offers to Toshiba the 2090, 2105 for resale. Uh-Oh...

I hope ricoh will update firmware so the 2035's will do scan to file also. I have customers who would pay for that update. JG

I love the 2027 SMB scan to file! You plug in to Windows network with a shared folder. Press browse and you now can select the folder to scan to. No ScanRT needed. Better yet press file type and you can name the file at the machine to send it to the...

m what I know the incoming faxes can't be inward routed without the sub address. The write fax allows you to use DID lines so each individual would have a seperate fax #.As far as the 5010. You can put an additional line on the unit so if there are...

I have a customer with more than 100 fax machines. They are looking to reduce that number significantly. Is the 5510NF a viable solution? The idea being to rout incoming faxes to the recipients e-mail. Would the sender have to attach a sub code in...
