This Week in the Copier/Office Equipment Industry 10 Years Ago Second Week of June 2004

Happy Father's Day!  In just two weeks, we'll have run through the first half of the year.  How time does fly!  I've commented to my wife on many occasions that when your job comes down to monthly and quarterly numbers, it seems that there is no end to how quickly the months and quarters fly by.

 

10 Years ago this week: Ronald Reagan's funeral held at Washington National Cathedral and burial service at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library later in the day. (White House) (Washington National Cathedral)

          I used to get all of those publications when I was at MBS. I always thought it was part of Minolta.

          We tested this and it only sends the meter reads to Ricoh.  Why would they go to all this trouble and not make it where it would work for the dealer community?????  Has anyone else tested this?

          I believe that when the day is done you get what you pay for and the Ricoh products are superior.  We only sell the 18ppm machine at this point.

          Jerry: You said they are primarily interested in scanning. May I assume that they are interested in electronic paper management as well? If so, Canon may propose their fine eCopy solution as well. Virtual Copier is a powerful very cost effective solution

          the 520 may have been the first of Minolta's digital systems but it was a workhorse. Th finishing unit woule do folding. I'd go with the 60...the capabilities of the doc server as well as printing speed, duplexing speed, the scanning all are value added

Thanks for the input everyone, this is for a small private school. Their minolta isn't even connected for printing. They just want a basic workhorse machine.
