Evaluating Multifunction devices, Evaluation Criteria

SECTION 2

Evaluating Multifunction devices

EVALUATION CRITERIA

As the company that invented laser printing, Ethernet networking, and the first digital Multi– Function Product (MFP), Xerox has invested years of research and development in designing the most productive office devices in the industry. This experience has positioned Xerox as the recognized leader in office MFP design and performance. Based on our in-depth understanding of customer needs in the office, Xerox recommends the following criteria be considered in the evaluation process of a shared MFP:

•Productivity – can it keep up with the demands of a multiple user environment?

•Ease of Use – are all the capabilities integrated and intuitive?

•Reliability – is it designed and build for demanding use and backed by a quality organization?

•Versatility – can the MFP grow with changing demands?

•Finishing – can the MFP provide the distribution ready documents that you require?

MFPs often look the same from the outside. And from a quick look at specifications on speeds, feeds, and print resolution, you might incorrectly conclude that most MFPs are basically equal. This section of the Evaluator Guide will suggest ways you can thoroughly evaluate them, and show how the Xerox CopyCentre C2128/C2636/C3545 and WorkCentre Pro C2128/C2636/C3545 models can best meet your needs.

PRODUCTIVITY

ADVANTAGE

XEROX

In addition to actual print engine speed consider the things that effect overall throughput. Are the scan- ning and faxing features powerful enough for your busy workgroup? What is the warm-up wait time? Is the device sized for the entire workgroup? Can features be used at the same time or are users forced to wait for the device to be “free”? Can you monitor the device functions from your desktop and at the device?

HOW XEROX COPYCENTRE C2128/C2636/C3545 AND WORKCENTRE

PRO C2128/C2636/C3545 EXCEED THE PRODUCTIVITY REQUIREMENT

With up to 35 ppm color and 45 ppm black and white output speed, a 32 ppm scan speed, concurrent scanning and printing, and a warm-up time of 60 seconds or less, documents can be produced quickly with less time spent at the device. Automatic features like auto image quality, auto registration, auto rotation, auto paper select, auto tray switching and auto job recovery ensure crisp and clear images and the fastest, best-in class quality output every time.

A powerful 733MHz processor accelerates document traffic and maximizes network resources. Files are sent over the network just once no matter how many sets are being printed. Files are processed at the device, off the network, freeing up user’s workstations and minimizing network traffic. Plus, with concurrent scan and print capability, someone can be scanning in one document, while a second document is printing and a third is being received over the network. This results in network printing performance that is unmatched in the industry.

There are no unknowns. Up-to-date information on every job; print, copy, scan, email, or fax, plus in-depth device information at your fingertips. Either at the device or from your desktop you can manage documents and jobs through an integrated job queue, display job progress and status, and manage jobs all with a few mouse clicks or button pushes.
