Big bucks my friend. If you like I can quot you cost on Tuesday when every one is back to work after the Labor day holiday.

big bucks... would it be under $200?, $500??

You'd be more in the ballpark if you add an extra zero to those numbers and then maybe double it...

[platinumaa]

wow... the machine was only $5000.. and its in mint condition..

I'm sure you can get it for much cheaper, I was guessing MSRP. But I can't see getting a good used one for under $1000.

Right you are, TeeBee!

The list price for the black and white scan module is just over $2,000.

The color one is a bit over $3,300.

Either would require a media format converter board, and it comes in at about $570.

Again, these are list prices for new stuff.

I'm sure there are bargains to be had out there.

He also needs to count the cost of installation by a qualified tech. I'm guessing he is just a end user.

[platinumaa]

yes sir.. im an end user... wonder if its cheaper to sell this one and purchase a used one with a scanner...

actually, i have another aficio that does scan.. its the previous model to my aficio mp w2400 though.. but it does scan to ftp/pdf.. is it possible to take the scan module outta that one (i think its the ricoh af 240w or 480), than purchase the media format converter board to install on my w2400?

i appreciate the knowledge by the way

Good idea, but no banana.

They're different options.
