How to Scan Documents on the Ricoh Copy Machine
The scanners that we have today often make use of a charge-coupled device (CCD) or a Contact Image Sensor (CIS) as the image sensor, while older drum scanners utilize a photomultiplier tube as the image sensor. A rotary scanner, used for high-speed document scanning, is another type of drum scanner, and this uses a CCD array rather than a photomultiplier.

Answer by Marc X
Inkjet printers are pretty cheap these days. Most have multiple functions called PSC (Printer/Scanner/Copier) or All-In-One’s. Some can be bought for under $ 50.
Me, I scan pages on my printer, using Photoshop to import the TWAIN source. Then I can manipulate the electronic image with Photoshop and store it in one of several file formats.

What is the formula to scale something down in inches for a copy machine?
Question by DizzyUpTheBlonde: What is the formula to scale something down in inches for a copy machine?
I know there is a formula one can use to set the zoom on a copy machine when you want a copy of something, but smaller or larger.
For instance, if you have an 8.5″x11″ document that you want to shrink to fit into a CD case (so, 4.75″x9.5″), you can use this formula to figure out what X and Y to set the zoom percentages to.
I’ve seen others use it. However, I’ve not been able to find this formula. Does any one out there know it?

Greetings,
Assuming you want the length to go from 11″ to 4.75″
This is a reduction of 4.75/11*100% = 43.2%

Skipping out on Color toner for an office copy machine?
Question by snoopz_87: Skipping out on Color toner for an office copy machine?
In our office we have a heavy duty color copier, printer, scanner. With tax season around the corner, our concern right now is supplies. We want to know if even though we will only be using black toner, do the color toners also get used, and will those be running out as well? Our copy machine model is Imagistics CM2020.

Set the printer to only print in greyscale and it will only use the black ink

Copy vs. Scan – Why does a copier have better quality than a scanner?
Question by HeyNowBrownCow: Copy vs. Scan – Why does a copier have better quality than a scanner?
I have noticed that on digitial copiers (either black/white or color) they can turn out good results when making a copy, but if you then take that same machine and scan your document in (such as in 300 dpi) the results are much degraded.
Does a digital copier use a different scanning technology for copies than when scanning to PC?
Best answer:
Answer by Marco – Yahoo
yes different methods –
A fax / scanner converts what it scans into a picture i.e pixels and as a result the quality is reduced drastically.
A digital machine is able to create “pictures” but uses vector images, which are sharper and have better quality.

Answer by hanif.azrai
1. Charging: The surface of a cylindrical drum is given an electrostatic charge by either a high voltage wire called a corona wire or a charge roller. The drum is coated with a photoconductive material, such as selenium. A photoconductor is a semiconductor that becomes conductive when exposed to light.
2. Exposure: A bright lamp illuminates the original document, and the white areas of the original document reflect the light onto the surface of the photoconductive drum. The areas of the drum that are exposed to light (those areas that correspond to white areas of the original document) become conductive and therefore discharge to ground. The area of the drum not exposed to light (those areas that correspond to black portions of the original document) remain negatively charged. The result is a latent electrical image on the surface of the drum.
3. Developing: The toner is positively charged. When it is applied to the drum to develop the image, it is attracted and sticks to the areas that are negativly charged (black areas), just as paper sticks to a toy balloon with a static charge.
4. Transfer: The resulting toner image on the surface of the drum is transferred from the drum onto a piece of paper with a higher negative charge than the drum.
5. Fusing: The toner is melted and bonded to the paper by high-heat and high-pressure rollers.
6. Cleaning: The drum is wiped clean with a rubber blade and completely discharged by light before beginning the process again.

It sounds like it needs service. You might consider reposting with the specific make and model. Hard to troubleshoot without knowing what it is.
You might consider going to the manufacturer’s website and looking up the manual for your copier.
