The Week in Copiers Ten Years Ago
First Week of June 2006
Here in the United States when you think about Direct Branch operations it was all about Xerox, Konica Minolta and Ricoh. Those three were the heavy hitters. With Ricoh selling of a lot of direct operations a couple of years ago. In addition with the recent sell of some of the Konica Minolta direct branches the question becomes will we see movement now from Toshiba? It would only be a guess, but I'm thinking we'll see some movement before the end of 2021.
Enjoy These great copier threads from ten years ago this week!

Do any Konica Minolta MFP's have an output tray control? (i.e. can they choose tray A for fax line 1, and tray B for fax line 2 etc)? 3. Does Konica Minolta have a print driver configuration tool such as the Canon Driver Configuration Tool? 4. Does Konica offer any type of Ecology Calculator or Eco Tracking solution? Thanks, JH

The searchable PDF feature can be added to Canons Universal Send without adding any external software or servers. It's been a while since I sold a Canon but I believe it was a fairly inexpensive feature to add. I wish the Ricoh scanning had this feature because my Canon customers loved it.
