It is interesting to note that the low cost for the entry level scanning products are effecting the Canon UniFLOW product.

In most cases if the clicks aren't profitable, there is no reason for the sale. Selling hardware is our job but it is for the profit

The Old 480 dwg option was just a file converter, it would leave the old file on the server and the customer would call in with complaints that it was coming up with out of memory errors because it kept all the old files on the server and not delete them, at least that was our experience.

Thanx for taking a look at that. Other copier companies are doing well, in fact KonicaMinolta is doing very well. Ricoh has turned it around also, one of the biggest factors is the yen has devalued against the US dollar. Copiers a core business for Sharp?? I don't think so... Yes, Sharps financial health is better, but isn't it just a matter of time before that massive debt becomes to much to bear? Art

I suspect Sharp probably uses the business year that ends in March 2013 as their FY2013 4th quarter. Slide 19 is most related to the copier business. It does not indicate that they are doing great but I would not expect that neither are most copier vendors. Generally, Sharp's financial health has improved considerably.
