No.

Anyway, our tech came back today and noticed one of the mystery trap doors in the finisher wouldn't open. Turns out the entire machine was "crooked" and off its foundation a bit, so he moved it. The alignment is way better. For today, anyway.

the X does have many mystery trap doors, some with no labels to let you know it indeed does open.  :laugh:

We've got a 700. One thing I noticed is with the last machine, the tech profiled our most common stocks. Now they want the customer to do it. Even with that, front to back registration is iffy, and changes through the run. I'm always bawled out by bindery for inconsistent registration, but the tech says it's within specs.

One big problem is with NCR. The tech says don't use it in this machine, but we have several customers who just want what amounts to 25 sets to run. Even with digital NCR, it sometimes prints as many doubles as good sets.

We had a Xerox 700 for a least couple of years.
Nothing but problems with it and the service.
Spent a lot of time feeding one sheet at a time.

Beginning of the year we ditch the 700 and got a Konica Bizhub.
New monster, new problems.
Boy, printing industry is a bitch!

The 700i is supposed to handle up to 300 gsm, but you'd better have a high capacity feeder with it if you're going to try to auto duplex. 10 pt. won't even make the turn out of the regular trays, and you can't auto duplex out of the manual feeder. It works a lot better from the hi cap feeder, which feeds it straight out.

When it's early on in the courtship process and they want to get in, it's always the same old wine and dine...
sweet talking....
Broadway show going...
hand holding, kiss on the cheek....

Now you just like on your back and close your eyes until it's over.

I hate Xerox.
