Well... that's not true.  We *never* planned to use the Ricoh engine, which I
I believe runs at 6 pages per minute.  Nor do we use the Canon engine now.
The actual engine being used is the TEC, which is 8 pages per minute, writes
white (which gives nice solid blacks), and which should be cheaper to
operate.
