Lately we have been hearing alot of talk about what Xerox reps are telling end users about the paper stock that the DocuColor 250 can handle. Most of us have heard the same thing. "All Paper stocks, this thing can print onto any paper stock!" It has been reported from end users that the 250 is not what they are claiming it to be. The Doc250 would only handle lightwieght cover stock and would not run double-sided gloss text. A technician reported that Xerox has pulled back by Engieering to

outsourcing (which in the past has been monochrome). However, this new software adds a fly to the ointment. Can anyone help me show the cost per page difference on a black & white page on the HP Designjet 5500 vs. the Savin 2400wd? I would be eternally grateful!

I just had the chance to downlos the printer driver for this product. The Ricoh web site states that this is a raster print driver. The system can print upto 12 x 18. Can I seel this to an architect you wants to print hals size plots? I thought I would need a print driver that allows for Vector printing. Can anyone help? Thanx Art Post

Gee, What a waste of my time! Ricoh is only marketing the GEL Print Printers through RBS only! I was just informed from my DMS today. Ricoh needs to step it up and release this product to the dealers! I wonder if the same is going to be true for the "New" MP1500!! Art Post

Seems like the Katana or the MP135 is set to launch in Japan on Feb 23, 2006!I got specs from the Japan web site, I'm sure specs will change for the US. Alos please keep in mind that I had to do a google translation for the information that is...

order to replace the paper! Toner is drop and tap. Old style like the 7030D from Ricoh! Weight: A $%#$%^& monster, 536lbs, try getting that up a flight of stairs or two flights!!!!! Floor space requirements: D: 76 inches, W: 99 inches. So much for the small foot print design. From the book: If you are managing the disposal of your Xerox product, please note that the product contains lead and other materials whose disposal may be regulated due to environmental considerations. The presence of lead

these will also be the products that the Xerox Dealer/reseller channel will be selling in the spring. Box is made by fuji xerox.

the word i have is the Aficio name is finished, did its job. MP....we figure it means Multifunction Printer, however Ricoh would neither confirm or deny this assumption!

I was just doing some research on the new Xerox, and I read that the image is scanned to a mailbox. Wham! It hit me, I visting the client who bought the KIP 3000 and not the 240W. He called ME for the TRIX software (I made a few bucks), his major complaint is that the KIP scans to a mailbox. He scans at the KIP, for multi pages and then he has to go to his desktop to retirve the images from the KIP mailbox. Here's his complaint, all of the images are labled as a temp file with random numbers

I just had a call from a customer with a 1060. They just started using Novell Groupwise and wanted to know about setting up the scan to email. Is there anything I need to know before I call him back. Anyone ever work with groupwise and scan to email on a Ricoh machine? Let us know...thanks
