Dumbest feature ever on a copier.

[mo0651]

Mine were sold with a salesman, but they disappeared upon delivery!!!

The feature they paid extra for, and never used it.

There is a machine available in the UK by Sagem that has a perfume diffuser as an optional accessory!! HONEST

I guess it is handy for covering the smell of bullshit from the salesman!

Do incompetent end users count as a dumb feature?

How about the Canon CD "changer" back in the late 80s? You had black (in the machine), yellow, brown, red, and blue toner.

When used in combination with the editor tablet, (another POS), it was a pseudo color copier - kinda.

I can't say "a poor man's" color copier; that junk was EGG-SPENSIVE.

Mita DC133voice-had a speaker mounted behind the front door and a lady's voice that would call out paper jams, add toner, etc. First service call on these were to cut the wire to the speaker.......

Sharp fax kits have this thing call "Fax Destination Confirmation" mode. It basically has you enter the fax number twice; just in case you change your mind I guess. My other vote would also go to Sharp. There is a setting that can make the touch screen response up to 5 seconds. You literally have to hold the touch screen for 5 seconds for the selection to work. I must admit, the first time I walked in on this I was scratching my head because the touch panel worked fine in service mode. It turned out the rep was "training" (I use that term loosely) and they somehow changed the setting to 5 seconds.


Lol Gwaddle. I just got the braille part numbers for the MX-4111-5111 yesterday. No buttons AND a braille pad. All fine and well until someone changes the display pattern.

Hi the 5 sec delay is for people with shaky hands-parkinsons.

that alows them to aim and hold the corect button,without activating the others,


cheers

konicaminolta have got a bizhub that does that....we have avoided telling customers about that feature...

Ricoh's simplified display, which looks more confusing than the detailed screen.

Also, did anyone ever show a customer how to manual staple with the Toshiba MJ-????(hanging type) finisher? I did once and the only calls I had for that machine always involved the effing stapler.
