EVALUATE INSTALLATION AND DEPLOYMENT

Installing and deploying a fleet of copier/printers and multifunction printers throughout your organization is a potentially time-consuming, complicated process. This is not limited to physically placing the units in your environment; it is really about how these systems will integrate into your existing network infrastructure. You also need to consider the process required to deploy printing and scanning services to your users, and how automated that process can be.

HOW THE WORKCENTRE 5600 SERIES EXCEEDS THE INSTALLATION AND DEPLOYMENT REQUIREMENTS

Installation

When you choose Xerox, you can rest assured that your equipment will be delivered and installed to your specifications and expectations. All network-enabled configurations include a 10/100Base-TX Ethernet connection with features including automatic IP addressing, device naming, and Ethernet speed sensing to provide simple and automatic network installation. Management and system setup can be accomplished through a variety of means, including easy wizard-based processes found within Xerox CentreWare Web. Features like cloning enable multiple-device installation onto networks with identical settings, eliminating the need to set up each system individually.

Deployment

Another critical area to evaluate is how to deploy print and scan drivers to your employees’ computers. Print and scan drivers can be deployed centrally, so your IT staff needn’t perform desk-to-desk manual installation of the driver software. Again, CentreWare Web wizards are provided to aid in the processes of installing, troubleshooting and upgrading print and scan drivers for your employees, freeing up your IT staff for more pressing projects. Driver support is delivered for Windows (2000 / Server 2003 / XP / Vista), including most operating systems with 32- and 64-bit drivers; Macintosh OS 10.3 and above; and multiple UNIX and Linux platforms.

EVALUATE EASE OF USE AND MANAGEMENT

Look for fully integrated functions that work together to create more value than the sum of their parts. Are the functions easy to learn? Is the user interface consistent from function to function? Do the network features give you full access to the power of your network? Does the device include additional software to take full advantage of your digital documents? Is the device easy for your IT organization to manage as part of its infrastructure?

Front Panel User Interface

It doesn’t matter if your job is simple or complex — the front panel user interface (UI) is easy to learn and offers quick job programming. It features touch-screen functionality and intuitive organization, with the most commonly accessed features on the default screen and tab-based access to advanced programming features. A selection of buttons accompanies the touch-panel UI for manual command and numbers inputs, management features access,

and job execution (with the familiar green Start button). Third-party applications can be integrated with the front panel UI as well (for more information, see Expandability on page 14). Whether you’ve used a Xerox copier/printer or multifunction printer in the past or not, you will find the Work- Centre 5600 series a pleasure to use.
