Section 2
Evaluating desktop Multifunction Printers
OvErvIEW
B ased on our in-depth understanding of customer needs in the office, Xerox recommends considering the
following criteria in your evaluation process for desktop multifunction printers:
Evaluate Productivity
Evaluate the performance of the MFP and how it can help you get more done.
Evaluate versatility
Evaluate the features of the MFP and how you can take advantage of those features.
Evaluate ease of installation, management and use
Evaluate the technical knowledge required to set up, manage and use the MFP, and whether you can
perform those tasks yourself.
This section of the Evaluator Guide will examine each of these areas, suggest ways you can evaluate an
MFP's performance and capabilities in these criteria, and explain how the Phaser 3200MFP exceeds the
expectations of desktop MFP customers on all counts.
EvALuATE PrODuCTIvITy
When evaluating for productivity, evaluate the level of performance delivered by the MFP and how
that will keep up with your workload. Match that with first-page-out time, and you'll get a sense of real
throughput — an indication of how the system will handle the average print jobs (typically 3 to 5 pages
long) of a busy, small office or workgroup. Does the system offer the media flexibility to support the
variety of jobs you'll ask it to perform?

environments. With print and copy output speeds up to 24 ppm, the Phaser 3200MFP makes quick
work of your day-to-day workloads. Additionally, a first-page-out time as fast as 10 seconds for
printing and copying minimizes the time spent waiting for your jobs to start. The 30-sheet automatic
document feeder (ADF) makes scanning multipage originals for copying, scanning or faxing easy.
With multiple scan destination options, the Phaser 3200MFP can help you digitize documents for
editing and distributing.

custom sizes in the Bypass Tray— makes it easy to print a variety of office documents on various
media types, including plain paper, envelopes, labels, card stock and transparencies. All trays
support paper weights from 16 pounds to 24 pounds; the bypass tray supports up to 43 pounds for
heavier paper stock.
