I was a new salesman in a territory in suburban Scarborough Ontario, and I saw from the CCRH that a law office had a 3300 that I could probably get good numbers to trade out. It was one of the very few 3300s left because most had already traded for a 10-Series or competitive product. After running some quick numbers – rolling the lease and lower click charges made a 1038 proposal pretty attractive. I naively walked in and introduced myself to the receptionist. The lawyer heard me and called me into his office. This was a pleasant surprise –… Read more »
I suppose it was a bad idea to make the Xerox 2700 laser printer into a copier… 2700s by the way were all over Xerox Centre I and II El Segundo California in the late 1980s.
I’m pretty sure it was the other way around. They made the 2700 out of the 3300. I don’t think at that time Xerox was making any ground up lasers, they were putting a laser imaging module into a light/lens chassis.
Isn’t this the machine that got recalled after so many complaints about reliability? Isn’t this the machine that spawned the joke about a Xerox fallacy called “Paper will never jam there”? This machine chased me through 3 jobs! I didn’t have to work on them (as copier or laser printer) at Xerox because I was on the 9000 team, but my customers complained about them (and the 1045s) a LOT! My first computer job had them as 2700’s, and everyone hated them (including customers). That company was smart and had Xerox service them, but my boss still had to soothe… Read more »
I was the lead person from Field Engineering to join the design team at Milton Keynes in 1977 until I left Xerox in February 1979. When I went there, the project was just a concept with a sketch on one A4 sheet. Previously, the design team had produced a design using liquid toner in a very narrow floor-standing machine feeding paper short-edge first, which was intended to stand at the end of a desk as a personal copier. They had never taken any design through to production and so had not been exposed to the lessons of real product problems.… Read more »
This machine was all right. It was developed to,habe a smaller footprint and produce copies faster than the 3100 line. I don’t think XRox produced many of them, though., not compared ro the 3100 line.
My most vivid memory of them is that they sometimes rocked and swayed back and forth because they were probably a little top heavy. We used to joke ‘Beginning liftoff sequence!’
Curious that is the same “box” which the Xerox 2700 network Laser Printer was housed in. A 8000 (8010) Print Server was usually attached.
Yes, this became the base engine for the 2700, 3700, and Raven (909) Star Printer.
