Re: Small workgroup copier?

It's the "windows only" printers that usually fail.
I insist on "network ready".
I've connected HP's, Zebra's, the Ricoh was a pain..., Canon, Toshiba,

saving $100 bucks and then spend several extra hours making it work.
Also, the continual calls from users.... it disconnected, it won't rotate,
the print is too small, etc. I've usually convinced management it will cost

Just search "ascii printers" in the Knowledge Base and there is a plethora
of documents to work with.

I know what web page you're referring to, but I've never checked it before
I bought something and I've never bought anything that I couldn't connect
to the iSeries properly.  We have about 30 HPs, 20 Zebra's, one Ricoh, and
one Dell connected to the iSeries.  All the printers are *LAN except for
the Zebra's.

Re: [PCTECH] Small workgroup copier?






are you connecting this to iSeries? if so, make sure it is listed in
IBM's Knowledge Base. Brand name alone doesn't do it.

Subject: [PCTECH] Small workgroup copier?

Need suggestions on replacing a RICOH 1013F printer/copier/fax used in a
parts area.  FAX isn't required.  Printer has 50,000 pages, copier

20,000

pages and FAX  59 pages in 3 years.  The machine has been problematic

from

day one with frequent jamming and feeding problems. I'd prefer to get a
stand-alone printer and copier.

I have no trouble specing out just a printer, as I probably buy two a
month - everything from a  $6,000 XEROX 7750 Phaser to a $200 HP inkjet.
Can anyone recommend a small office copier though?  HR usually handles

our

copiers, but I think I'm better in tune with the needs of our users and

if

I can find a decent  personal or workgroup copier, I can cut HR out of

the

equation.

Thanks in advance,
