Evaluate Ease of Installation, Management, and Use

Most small-office environments don’t have IT resources on staff, so office equipment must be simple and easy to install. Is ongoing MFP management eased by tools provided by the vendor? In small offices, ease of use is a critical attribute of the equipment you deploy — the MFP must be easy to learn and use, with simple user interfaces that help employees access features, program jobs, and stay focused on producing great work.
