This Week in the Copier/Office Equipment Industry 10 Years Ago First Week of July 2004

These were some of the hot news items from ten years ago.

 

Famous actor Marlon Brando dies of pulmonary fibrosis. 

 

17-year-old Maria Sharapova defeats Serena Williams 6–1, 6–4 in the Wimbledon Championships women's tennis final to become the first Russian Wimbledon champion.

 

Ah, summer time.... fishing, camping, going to the beach,  tending to the garden and tending to the "honey do" items steals a lot of our time.  But, most of the above tasks are great for tending to "you" time.  Every now and then it's good to take some time and wind down from the everyday grind. Thus, while you're ready this, I'm hoping you're in work or staying up late and you're getting your share of "you" time in before summer ends.

          Can anyone get me the OPM speed for the Sharp AR505 Doc feeder?  I've looked everywhere and can't find this spec.

          I sell both the KIP and Ricoh Wide Format Products. The KIP 6000 is a really good unit, especially in the hands of a really good sales rep. If I had to sell against it I would focus on. 1) The scanning speed. It can have on of four scanners. Most likely

          That is the one I caused a little confusion about mentioning it in the "1515" discussion.  The AC104 is the FX-16 in Europe.  I didn't think Ricoh would send this one to the U.S. ... or else I figured it would go through the "Bizworks" channel.  You can

          The Samsung SCX-4216F machine (codename Rocky) is also sold as the Xerox Pe16 and the Lexmark X215. All four products are almost identical, apart from some minor differences such as toner yield, bundled software, default fax/copier mode and panel design

          We carry Sharp as well as Savin.  I've never heard of a AR505.  Our current Sharp Offering is the AR-M550, 620, 700.  All from the same platform.  The 550 outputs @ 55ppm, scans @ 65opm, and duplexes @ 76ppm.  This is due to it's single pass doc feeder

          We e-mailed the ricoh corporation about this and they said that it was a known problem and that they were working on it.  They said that if you scan it in as a pdf there is an option when you select print from the menu that says shrink files to fit paper

          We are getting terrible reliability out of the KIPs we have placed but we only placed a few. Now with the launch of the 240 from Ricoh, I don't see us placing any more KIPs.
