Re: Toshiba e-Studio Erasable Toner 4508LP Questions
1). The new e4508LP uses the heat of the fuser to decolorize the blue toner to clear. The seperate RD30 erasing device is still available and presents a few advantages. 2). The MSRP does not include the seperate RD30 erasing device nor is it needed. 3). Not yet available. 4). Not yet available but probably. 5). Not yet available. 6). Regular 20 lb bond paper works fine. 28 lb bond paper will produce a better erase. 7). 45 cpm is the speed of black only. 35 cpm is the speed of the erase...

Re: A Few Copier Vignettes from the Late Eighties & Nineties
Art, You and I are from similar professional backgrounds and times. We started in 1980 selling Sharp and Juki typewriters. Everything sold near MSRP. Then the fax boom came and we caught that wave perfectly. We sold Ricoh thermal faxes for full list ($2995.00). The only issue was cash flow; we sold them faster than we could order and purchase them. Copier Maintenance agreements went from .022 up to .035 and did not include drums, developer, toner, fuser rollers or lamps! Also, like your...

Re: Successful Walk Through
Walk thru: Take a picture of each device (this helps jog the memory banks) Takes notes for all accessories or options on each device Find users for the device and ask them what type of media do they print onto (card stock, envelopes, ncr, bond paper, etc..) Print out a configuration list for each device Ask a user what they like most about the system and then ask what they dislike the most Ask a user what paper sizes they are printing or copying onto Anyone care to add anything else??

Re: Samsung Says Offer for Sharp’s Photocopier Unit Rejected
TOKYO (Reuters) - Sharp Corp rejected an offer by Samsung Electronics Co. to buy its copier and printer unit as part of a deal that will see Samsung invest $110 million in return for a 3 percent stake. "We did get a proposal from Samsung, but we declined," said Sharp spokeswoman Miyuki Nakayama. She would not say how much Samsung offered and why Sharp refused.

Re: 1060/1075 paper weights
Attached is a useful Excel tool, that service departments will stand behind, no matter what marketing indicates. On the 60/75 engines, they are only spec'd to run up to 34lb bond through trays 1-3, and 43lb bond through the bypass. 43lb bond does not even equate to 110 index, as marketed, only 90lb index (just). This ahs been a bone of contention. Hope it helps. Cheers, Jim.

Re: 3800C, duplex 90lb??
Yeah, the specs say 90lb index through the bypass which would mean manual duplex, but customers hear only what they want and will soon be putting plywood through and complaining that they were told it would work. We have decided to show what 90lb index is to our customers and make sure they know that there is a lot of terminology related to paper, (index, bond, cover, bristol cover, etc...) it would be nice if we could have one standardized term. Also, brochures and reams just list 48lbs.

Re: Fuser problems on DSc338/C3828/1238
when you say thick paper i hope you mean no more than 43lb. bond. any heavier will cause your fuser to shred up just like the 3800. most spec sheets say 90lb. index is the max weight but 90lb. index translates to 43lb. bond.

Re: C2338
i am not aware of a color product where there is no bypass option available. as for canon i have a customer with the canon and the are quite a few issues with the box i would worry about those. i do believe you can get a bypass option for your 2238. although the max weight there is 43lb. bond.

Re: AP3800/CL7000
The 3800 series and the smaller 224/324 share virtually the same fuser and its inability to run much more than 20 lb bond. We cover it in a maintenance agreement but running photo paper or any coated paper voids that and they pay for it.

I was lead to believe it is a Ricoh design. The product manager from Japan was here last week and was quite proud of that fact that it was a Ricoh OEM. The printer has preformed flawlessly for us and we have tried to break it. Envelopes, cardstock, glossy/coated, out of spec stuff, it ran it all. We have been burnt before by the 204/305/306/Cl5000 junk so I am always skeptical about the Ricoh line when it comes to anything but 28 lb bond or less. We carry HP also and I have to admit that it...

Well, it was nice for a few months anyway. Its not holding up. Customer bought for the thick stock capability and it worked great for a while, then the toner began rubbing off of the 110 lb index (within specs), customer tried a thinner stock. Ricoh had us turn up the fuser temp ... it was marginally better for a week, then it got the the point that the toner was not even bonding to standard 20lb bond paper! Ricoh sent us a nice new fuser kit, still no good. Has anybody else had a problem...
