COST CONTROL

ADVAN-

TAGE

One of the most important things to consider when evaluating a device with color capabilities is to understand how you can control color usage. Does the device charge a premium for black-and-white printing? Can the device automatically check for black-and-white and color pages?

HOW XEROX WORKCENTRE® 7228/7235/7245 SERIES

EXCEEDS THE COST CONTROL REQUIREMENT

Black-and-white system costs, with built-in color

All WorkCentre 7228/7235/7245 series devices separate color and black-and-white page counts to allow for separate billing of these pages. Further, with a Xerox maintenance and supplies contract – page costs are fixed, meaning the per-click charge doesn’t change depending on how much toner is used. Similarly, page-size doesn’t effect your per page cost – tabloid and letter size pages carry the same cost.

Accounting for Color

Two features have been specifically developed to ensure color and black-and-white copies and prints are accurately accounted for, and that access to walk-up color copying features can be managed.

Automatic Color Copy – the device detects black-and-white and color pages separately in the original source document and prints and charges for them at their different rates. In addition, you can select “Black-and-White Only” to copy color documents in black-and-white. These output settings can be assigned as the copy default for the device to limit color usage and manage costs.

Automatic Color Print – the device detects black-and-white pages within a print job even with the output selection set to Color. The black-and-white printed pages are then printed and charged at the black-and-white rate.

The Xerox WorkCentre 7228/7235/7245 also enables several tools to allow for the following capabilities:

Device Auditron – Can restrict and track copy, print, fax and scan usage.

Xerox Standard Accounting – Restricts and tracks copy, print, fax and scan usage. XSA can also generate reports from the web showing print, copy, scan and fax events with time stamps.

Xerox Page Accountant – Sets color quotes for copy and print across your enterprise.

3rd Party Enablement for Accounting –

Additional accounting solutions for specific industries and vertical applications are available from Xerox Business Partners including Equitrac Corporation, Pharos Systems, Control Systems Inc., and others.
