Even before the dawn of the digital copiers there some were a few copiers that allowed you to mix different size originals in the copier document feeder. For instance if you had a mix of letter, legal and ledger size documents you could place them all in the feeder an as long as you had the corresponding paper in the paper trays. The copier would then pull the right size paper from the correct paper draw. However, this feature with the older analog copiers slowed the copiers copy process down to a crawl!
Today, there is not that much of a need for copying mixed sized originals, but every now and then we do get someone that needs to enable that feature. The good news is that all digital copiers should have this as a standard feature.
I sell the Ricoh brand of copiers and the mixed size original feature is located in the "special features" ( I think that's it ) on the home screen of the system. It's not a feature that a user will see from the home screen. Users will need to select that feature and then place the documents in the feeder and the press the start button. I'm still amazed at how many customers are still "wowed" by this simple feature. Copying mixed sized originals is not as slow as the analog systems anymore however you do need to allow some additional time since the paper is drawn from different paper trays. Usually if a customer needs this feature we will put it into a program key for easy retrieval.
BTW, for those of you that scan a lot, you can scan mixed sized originals with most of the Ricoh systems.
It was not that many years ago that industry pundits had declared the "Death of the Digital Duplicator" due to outdated technology, so so print quality and the low cost per page with new print production systems that were coming to market.
Fooey, those who declared that the Digital Duplicator was dead lacked the knowledge of what these systems can really do to help businesses improve a profit, increase productivity and reduce costs associated with out sourcing printed forms and documents.
The Digital Duplicator of today has come a long way in the past few years. The Digital Duplicator of today combines matured technology with excellent reliability. Most Digital Duplicators can act as a mini press in many Corporate Repro Departments, Print Shops and Direct Mail Centers.
The Digital Duplicators can now print two sided letter documents in one pass, they can print original documents from your pc or mac with excellent quality. Cost per page is off the charts considering a run off 1,000 11x17 sheets (based on 6% coverage) would average .003 per page for 11x17, thus cutting the 11x17 in half would give you letter sized documents at a cost of .0015 per page.
Digital Duplicators do not use heat and pressure to melt toner onto the paper, they use a soy based ink enables the paper absorb the ink. Thus when it comes to consumables items there are none expect for a few paper feed rollers. Virtually any stock can be used to put ink on paper, such as card stock, envelopes, NCR paper, thick paper, the only no no would be a coated stock.
While the world is fascinated by color documents, the duplicator can hold it's own because all of the Digital Duplicators are capable of printing spot color (one color, one pass), there are a few duplicator that can print two colors in one pass also.
Did we talk about speed yet? 120-130 pages per minute and all for a cost that's under $18,000. While the duplicator of today might have a few draw backs such as no full color output nor the ability to print on to coated stock, the good of the system far out weighs the bad. The Good equal 120-130 prints per minute with 11x17 size paper, automatic two sided printing for letter size documents, the use of spot color for documents and envelopes.

By Regina Chepalis, National Director, eDiscovery Technology
As every attorney knows, litigation matters often involve some unexpected and demanding challenges. The rapidly evolving issue of eDiscovery is certainly no exception.
In our experience, no two eDiscovery challenges are the same, which is why it is important to ensure that your law firm has robust and scalable eDiscovery capabilities at the ready should the need arise. Developing those capabilities in-house is one option, but not always the most cost-effective and efficient approach. That’s why working with an experienced outsource partner makes a lot of sense for many firms.
Here’s an example:
We recently had the opportunity to work with a premier business law firm located in the Pacific Northwest when an eDiscovery issue arose in an employment matter. The firm represented a company that suspected one of its former sales employees had misappropriated sensitive and proprietary customer information. The company became aware of the issue when its Human Resources department audited the company email account of the former employee and saw what appeared to be transfers of company information to personal data accounts, such as Gmail, Dropbox and iCloud.
In the course of the negotiations between the law firm and counsel for the former employee, an agreement was reached to allow an audit of the personal data accounts of the employee. Not having the resources in-house to accomplish the task, the law firm turned to Ricoh for help, knowing of Ricoh’s comprehensive portfolio of eDiscovery solutions and the national reputation for eDiscovery technology and forensic expertise of HSSK Forensics, Inc., a Ricoh company accredited by the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board. read more here
