This Week in the Copier Industry 10 Years Ago

In the world of the fictional television series Lost, Oceanic Flight 815 goes missing somewhere over the Pacific Ocean en route to Los Angeles from Sydney, Australia.

I found this interesting since flight MH370 went missing many months ago. I have my own theory, and since there is no evidence, I guess every theory can be plausible. I believe the plane was shot down over the Straits of Malaysia by the Malaysian government. Once they erred, the covered up.  Anyway, back the popular threads from ten years ago on the Print4Pay Hotel!

Ricoh definitely has this unit on the launch pad but I think it will be early 2005 according to my sources.  This will finally be the "ricoh" replacement product for the antique 6513 and it will be an OEM product, not a Toshiba (aka AF3131) knockoff.

          The 2090 and 2105 now have "scan to file/scan to email" capability just like the 2035/2045 unless you install the Bate Stamping option in which case you lose the ability to scan.

          FYI on the 2090/2105 Bate Stamping Solution. You cannot currently have both the Bate Stamping and Scanning available at the same time. They end up being mutually exclusive. Ricoh is trying to create a workaround or resolution.

This week marks the first year of Print13 in Chicago, formerly known as Graph Expo. Ten years ago I wasn't even aware of Graph Expo, thus there are no press releases that we have archived.  Sometimes I will look at the past present and future with 10 years from now, and ten years in the past. If I take my age, I'll probably be a curmudgeon, and ten years ago I was happy go lucky and full of energy, see what the copier industry can do to you!  All kidding aside I hope you enjoy these flash backs for the industry!
