Reply to "Xerox 7345 vs Ricoh MPC4500"

John:

Some quick notes for you, I downloaded the op manual, here's what I found:

User must replace all drums, waste toner unit,and fuser. Xerox calls then CRU's (Customer Replacable Units)

No Scan2url

Color output at 35ppm, black @ 45ppm

No Doc Server

75 Page Doc Feeder

8 inch color screen

max copy res 600x600

When replacing paper, user must always confirm via touch panel for paper sizes

In order to make a copy, the manual states these procedures:

Select Clear All

Select All Services

Select Copy icon

Select copy features

Press Start

Seems rather cumbersome to me, plus the fact that users have to install drums, and fusers (ouch), plus guss with waste toner bottles!

Couple of cool features:

print from USB thumb drive, and media card

v-fold

It's late and that was some of things that popped out at me! I suggest to download the manuals from the Xerox site and give them a good going over and I'll be you'll uncover alot more.

Over and Out!
