----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Hi all. We need advice! Fairly soon our Fine Arts and Special Collections department we will be getting a color copier and we're asking ourselves all sorts of questions about how we will offer the service to the public. Do any of you operate a color copier in your department? 1. What have been the successes and problems for you? 2. How much do you charge per copy? 3. Is your color copier "self-service"? Do you think there are significant problems with offering a self-service color copier? (So far, this is what we're planning to do. And, the reference librarian would probably be the color copier fixer, paper replenisher etc) 4. Do you know of any particular problems with color copiers? (We're getting a 3 year old machine (Xerox 5775 SSE Digital Color Copier/Printer). It won't have any of the slide or computer attachments though). 5. Do you think we should allow black and white copying on the color copier or reserve it for color copying only. (We have two B/W machines on our floor already) 6. Any environmental or noise issues that you know of? 7. What criteria do you use to let a user recopy something when s/he is not satisfied with a copy. (We're thinking of putting up a sign stating criteria for recopying, with some kind of disclaimer that users should know what they're doing before they attempt to operate the machine).
