    TRANSPARENCIES

    Does Ricoh have a list of recommended transparencies for use in their machines? It seems like I ran across a list of media types and manufacturers a few years ago, but I'll be danged if I can find it.

    I've been having a nosey on Tier2 to see if there's anything specific. If you have access to Tessa, go to Tier2 and do a search for "recommended transparencies media" and look at the results. There are a few posts that specify a manufacturer but I haven't found anything that could be classified as a list, sorry.

      Due to company changes I only have access to limited info on the TSC site even though I have a valid tech ID #. I have sent a request for a list but they may choose to ignore me. It wouldn't be the first time since we're not upper crust anymore. Thanks for looking, TM

        We've alway simply specified that they must be laser printer or plain paper copier compatible and haven't had any real issues. It has actually been a long time since I've extracted a melted transparency now that I think of it. Perhaps the media is falling out of vogue? The 3M ones always seemed to be the best, I don't know if that still holds true.

          The Canon spec transparency was the Canon branded or 3M P2500 for high speed copiers. I've always used that as my reference. =^..^=
          If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
          1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
          2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
          3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
          4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
          5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

            Just recently I heard that most transparencies with a melting point above 180 degrees (centigrade) should work OK.
