Comment on What Is Solingen Steel? by Dave

I’m going to have to guess China on that one. With the prestige of Solingen Steel, there are probably a lot of Solingen knockoffs floating around out there. Too bad.

Emeril now sells a very inexpensive kitchen knife set on TV that is marked “Emeril Solingen Germany” on one side and “CHINA” on the other side. Care to guess where this knife is made or where the steel comes from?

Comment on Top 5 Mistakes That Will Kill Your Paper Shredder by Dave

Without seeing the shredder in person I cannot say for sure what is happening, but it could be that the optical sensor (inside the shredder’s throat) is being covered with a particle of paper or dust. A can of air or simply blowing into the shredder may help clear this out.

If the shredder is new enough, it may still be covered under warranty and you may be able to get a replacement model from Staples.

You may want to give our Service Technician a call at 1-800-658-8788 and get more detailed advice on what’s going on with your particular situation.

I have a Staples Model SPL-TMC10A 10 sheet micro cut shredder. The anti jam light came on while shredding and will not go off. The shredder will not accept anything to be shredded, but if I hold either the forward or reverse button down the shredder sounds like it is working. What might be the problem? The shredder has probably been used a total of five times and is mainly used to shred credit card reciepts.

Our envelope stuffing machines won’t staple the letters while folding and inserting them into envelopes. A special attachment is available that will allow them to pull in pre-stapled paper, but none of them will staple the paper by themselves.

Comment on Pharmacy Signature Capture Pads & Pen Tablets by Dave

Our signature capture pads can be integrated with POS systems or can be used by themselves. These tablets actually come with software that allows them to be easily integrated with Adobe Acrobat for use with PDF files and for use with Microsoft Word. Simply install the software and plug the tablet into the computer (via USB or standard serial port depending on the model). They are very easy to use and set up.

My name is Adam from Sunshine Pharmacy in Naples, Fl. We own 5 locations, and need a signature capture for each, maybe 2. We do not use point of sale, and are not interested in P.O.S. Can we simply connect these to a standard PC?
Thanks,
Adam

Will it staple the letters (if there is more than one sheet in a envelope) and stuff the envelope.

Comment on GBC CombBind C800pro Comb Binding Machine Review by Dave

That is strange. I know that the older Ibico EPK-21 was a beast and the GBC C800 (the replacement) was supposed to be equally as nice. While I have used the GBC C800, I don’t have any personal experience using it on a heavy-duty scale for an extended period of time. I’m not personally aware of long-term issues with this machine.

While I’m not a big fan of GBC products in general (I’d rather use Akiles), the C800 is a nice system. I would recommend that you call our Service Department at 1-800-658-8788 x129. They may be able to shed more light on the situation and help get things up and running.
