    Can this be possible?

    hi.
    I just picked up a mpc300SR and it had a label on it saying"this printer
    is voice activated"...
    Being I use to do Sharp copiers in the 80s which would remind you to remove original on glass...

    Me thinks this label is pure sarcasm. No Ricoh mp that I have ever seen uses voice activation.

      Absolutely!

      I highly recommend putting in the break room with the voice activated vending machine and toaster.

      Perhaps they will all talk to each other.

      Don't bother with the coffee maker, though. He's been a bit of a grouch lately.

          I agree with the sarcasm. I have had customers say their machine seems to work better if they yell at it and threaten it. Other who think they need to beg and plead.

              Well did you ask it what it was capable of?
