    Actually, I've been impressed lately with the newer Ricoh color machines for customers that need a 20-40 ppm machine.

    My favorite Canon b&w still is the IR 3300 series, and for color the ones I've had the least problems with is the IR C5058

      IR C3200 series is junk, between the transfer belts, fusers, and doc feeders, it's crap on wheels. If it's a customers machine or you just *really* like having one, just buy one off lease for $100 and call it a day. That's what they go for around here in good condition with less than 150k on them.

      EDIT: forgot about the damn rubber rollers after the fuser melting and slinging molten rubber everywhere.

      Same goes for C3170's

      /thread

      this model has it's moments,
      most of the issues are from customer abuse> poor location>abuse of monthly volume>poor understanding what this printer is capable of doing and all around general abuse of printer.

      I had over 80 of these at one in-house account/ once I set up a Tech maintenance program & Customer instruction program- down time improved 75%.

        We tried something like that but most of the customers didn't follow it, not sure why, other than their arrogance, I think we are currently down to 5 left in the field.

          so you are comparing a new Ricoh to a 10 y/o old Canon device??? intersting
          Like Teckat side when these units were used properly and maintained well they rarely had issues. At one point we had 500+ of these under contract and still have 146 or so still out in the field. As far the 5058 being better...not in a million years. The 5058 is right there with the 3170.
          Accidents don't just happen. They must be carelessly planned.

            You didn't specify what generation color machine I prefer, and that's all it was, a preference, not a comparison (inb4 trollbait). We have 200 or so in a few manufacturing facilities and besides consumables, rarely any issues with the 5058.

            Meh. Luck of the draw I suppose.

            ITT: wat is good.

                Re: Canon iR C3220 misalignment.

                Just my 2 cents worth, but I loved the 3200 series,,, shitty doc feeder!!, no getting around that, but the copier was rock solid if properly maintained. The 5058 is just a 3rd generation 5800, a turd by any other name...

                    Re: Canon iR C3220 misalignment.

                    The Tray 1 has problem, I put paper in to tray, but the printer still show "no paper", I checked the size of paper setup for this tray is corect. I guess the sensor of tray has problem. Still don't print PG10...

                      power off printer/keep tray 1 in
                      cheat open the right side door/
                      power up printer and look in above right guide to see if paper is being lifted up to sensor


                      do all your trays say no paper when there is paper ??
                      u can select the tray (CASSETTE)that works for your test prints in PG service mode

                          The following conditions must be set in order to generate a P-Print:

                          1) The paper source must contain one of these paper sizes, LTR, LTR-R, LGL or 11x17.

                          2) Paper Type should be set to Plain.

                          3) The Cassette in which the report will print from must be enabled "ON" under Drawer Eligibility.
