This is a multipart message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hello Bob, We had the exact same situation 3 years ago. IBM makes several excellent high capacity printers for this. Of course, they are fairly expensive, and only one or two have the required input and stacking capacity we needed (we run unattended a lot of the time). What we did instead was lease a Ricoh Aficio 650 duplexing laser copier with 3,000 sheet input and 3,000 sheet output/stacking capabilities with an iData interface box to provide IPDS/AFP capability. The unit is our network, and mapped to the AS/400. This had the net effect of giving us a high speed, high volume network printer, and the same capabilities on our iSeries. The print quality (especially for the bar codes) is excellent. No bad reads at all. The lease, with supplies (toner and such) and maintenance (not including paper), is under $2K per quarter. The print speed (66 pages per minute) really lets us zip through our shop packet creation, which (like you) exceeds 2,000 pages a day on some days. I would be glad to put you in touch with our local rep, who could refer you to your local shop and provide them with specs. Our lease is up in February, and I am definitely rolling over to the new version of the same unit. We also use the unit to print A/R statements, invoices, and the occasional high volume network print job (flyers from HR for the entire division, sales mailings, and so on). Since it has a digital input (as well as the standard copier scanner platen), each "copy" is an original, laser printer quality document. It has saved the division a bunch of bucks!

We have fairly high volumes, often printing over 2,000 in one batch. It must be a printer capable of printing bar codes.
