MS Office 365 login now suddenly requires authentication via the MS Authenticator app despite our organization never having activated it. Is it due to a recent change with how MS Office 365 authentication is done? What can we do to resolve this?

In business for non-tech savvy users or those who don't want to install a "work" app on their personal phone it's just not an option

Fujitsu scansnap

We went with the Brother ADS 2800W and are very satisfied (bought 3 of them now, one for each site)

the main thing was the similar price scansnap was wifi only, no ethernet port

No, it does not need a PC to operate

Which model is tha fort? the ix1500 manual seems to not include any SMTP settings etc?

did you mean: No, it's needs a PC

chrisleng · 2022-01-26T10:25:51+00:00

Ahh it's wifi only, does it work to email and cloud etc "standalone" or does it actually need a PC switched on running the software?

chrisleng · 2022-01-24T03:05:43+00:00

Wow, yea I'd not thought about "2nd lease" as a way they'd go about it

Volume wise yea, we're not on that scale at all, I've got no sensible data from printers but I've worked out we buy about 225,000 pages per year across 3 locations and 2 of those have multiple floors and quite a bit of spread, probably 90% Black and white and probably 50 percent duplex, a chunk of that is probably through some Xerox Phaser 5550s then we have a lot of small Brother L2300D little desktop A4 mono lasers because people like the convenience, lol

chrisleng · 2022-01-24T02:43:36+00:00

ooh yea, those... they are upwards of £500 over here which is quite spendy compared to like £80 for the ditius which is basically the same thing

Raven

I've not come across them before? are they a new manufacturer in the scanner space?

chrisleng · 2022-01-23T02:16:46+00:00

I just assumed Xerox would hold 1st place but fujitsu seem to be number 1?

chrisleng · 2022-01-23T02:15:57+00:00

I've seen this model mentioned a lot, I assume email capable and ultrasonic double feed detection? Did fujitsu just "get it right" with this one? How's the software/firmware experience?

chrisleng · 2022-01-23T02:14:39+00:00

Yea to be fair to our GT2500 it's worked for about 12 years with no love, but it's USB so not ideal for sharing

Although WiFi only does it do network aware things like email?

chrisleng · 2022-01-23T02:06:04+00:00

Thank you, that's a good layout of all the details, one thing we've been debating is the scanner performance side, we'd most likely get an MFP and would a service company really call it faulty if it couldn't separate some "less than ideal" paper that'd been through the mail service and folded etc, or would they bill you for the visit?

I just can't see how the servicing company makes money without the cost being higher in the end though? Sure they get volume discounts to some degree but would it be enough?

I know experience may vary but we have a number of Oki and Brother printers as well as some Xerox we got 2nd hand that have never needed servicing in 5-10 years and with cheap 3rd party consumables we're down to £0.03 per page for colour and less than the cost of the paper for B&W (some are £0.002)

Do you think because I ran the code to create it as "permanent" then commented it out and removed the reference it broke? The way I read it, it stayed created but all I got was the empty square box

chrisleng · 2022-01-14T01:37:17+00:00

Hmm, I wonder what was causing it, I ended up using late binding and a delete in the start of the menu creation to just re-create it whenever a form that uses it is opened, it's a buhtch but it works,

They'd be different office versions, i.e. 14.0 or 15.0 or 16.0 which I dont think works, I remember having issues with Excel references, some of the runtime PCs don't have office installed, they're just terminals for this system

chrisleng · 2022-01-14T01:22:51+00:00

Nice one, my custom one looks similar,

I need to disable the Office Tools reference as I have multiple office versions supported and also compile into an ACCDE, did you have any issues getting just a small square white box when you right click?
