Evaluate Productivity - Xerox WorkCentre 7346 Evaluator Manual

EVALUATE PRODUCTIVITY

In addition to actual print engine speed, consider the things that affect overall throughput. Are the scanning
and faxing features powerful enough to support your busy departments? What is the warm-up wait time?
Is the device appropriately sized for the entire workgroup? Can features be used at the same time, or are
employees forced to wait for the device to become "free"? Is the system designed to minimize network
traffic? Can you monitor the device functions from your desktop and/or at the device?
PrOduCTIvITY
T he productivity of the WorkCentre 7346 multifunction printer delivers output speeds of up to 45
ppm black-and-white/40 ppm color. Document scanning speed is notable as well, with a 75-sheet
duplex automatic document feeder (DADF) that scans single- and double-sided documents at 50 ipm
black-and-white and 45 ipm color. With a black-and-white first-page-out time as fast as 4.8 seconds
and a color first-page-out time as fast as 6.7 seconds, you won't have to wait long for your copy jobs
either. The WorkCentre 7346 multifunction printer also features fast warm-up times of 30 seconds
from low power mode and 45 seconds from cold start.
NETWOrK PErFOrMANCE
P erformance isn't limited to raw document feeds and speeds. The WorkCentre 7346 multifunction
printer's network controller utilizes a 667 MHz processor with 1.5 GB of memory and a minimum
40 GB hard drive standard — it's ready and able to process your large, complex print and scan jobs.
In addition, 10/100Base-TX Ethernet connectivity comes standard for shared network printing, and
optional adapters for 10Base2, 10Base5, 802.11b wireless Ethernet, and USB ensure you can connect
the WorkCentre 7346 multifunction printer to your company's specific needs.
T he WorkCentre 7346 multifunction printer is easy on your network as well. With RAM collation,
files are sent over the network just once no matter how many sets are printed. Job pipelining allows
the MFP to process print jobs even if the print engine is busy with an earlier print job — thus opti-
mizing system performance by avoiding delays during job processing.
IMAGE QuAlITY
W ith 600 x 600 dpi copy resolution and 1200 x 1200 dpi print resolution, the WorkCentre 7346
multifunction printer generates high-quality copies and prints with crisp text and images. The Work-
Centre 7346 multifunction printer utilizes a number of advanced imaging technologies to deliver fast,
reliable, high-quality output, including:
Traditional toner
particles
Chemically grown
EA-HG toner
X erox also delivers multiple page description languages (PDLs) to ensure your printed output meets
your high expectations, with Adobe

• X erox Emulsion Aggregate (EA) toner — this chemically grown toner technology features
smaller, more uniformly sized particles for excellent shadow detail, vibrant colors, consistent
color accuracy, and crisp fine-line detail.
• T rickle Charge Development — a Xerox-exclusive technology that maintains print
consistency throughout the workday by feeding a mixture of developer and toner to the
print engine, helping avoid eleventh-hour print-quality issues.
• I ntermediate Belt Transfer with Micro Tandem Engine — provides the speed and efficiency
of single-pass color with consistent image transfers, fewer paper jams, and increased uptime.
• B elt Nip Fusing — instead of conventional roller-to-roller contact, Belt Nip Fusing uses
a flexible surface contact area that allows toner to better adhere to the media, delivering
improved image transfer and registration.
