Xerox is at it again, pushing the fact that their machines only click once for 11 x 17. On a color system the savings can be huge. I plan to try and explain to the customer that it is just common sense that copying/printing something that is twice as big is going to cost twice as much. And to explain what happens when you pay less than you should for service/supplies. Can anyone help me squash this tactic or share any successes they've had overcoming this thorn in the side?

Wish I had better news, we never did fix this problem it was R/A ed back to Ricoh. They know of this issue but have no fix at this time. Good Luck

If you're talking about the 2500/3000, the drivers are on Ricohs site for PCL5/6/RPCS

you can get it from Ricoh.com, (the actual pdf)

OK then, you take charge and print up the pdf (duplexing of course) and 3 hole punch it. Then get a 3 ring binder that you have laying around the office and place the op. manual in the binder and deliver it to the customer.

Anyone figured out another method that is competitive yet profitable?
