Evaluate Ease Of Use And Management - Xerox WorkCentre 7346 Evaluator Manual

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 organisation to manage as
part of its infrastructure?
HOW THE WORKCENTRE 7346 EXCEEDS THE EASE-OF-USE REQUIREMENT:
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. The WorkCentre 7346 utilises a 210 mm
colour touch-screen UI that enables total control of copy,
scan and fax functions. The touch-screen UI is intuitively
organised, 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 inputting and numbers, accessing management features, and executing jobs (with the familiar
green Start button). Third-party applications can be integrated with the front panel UI as well (for more
information, see Extensible Interface Platform (EIP) on page 13). Whether you've used a Xerox copier/
printer or multifunction system in the past or not, you will find the WorkCentre 7346 a pleasure to use.
BI-DIRECTIONAL DRIVERS
The WorkCentre 7346 utilises CentreWare print drivers to provide an easy, intuitive way to program
jobs and get updated system status information. Like the front-panel touch-screen UI, the print
drivers are intuitively organised by tabs. The most commonly used features are located on the default
tab, with advanced features easily accessible when programming more complex jobs. The print
drivers also provide bi-directional information like system status, job status, currently loaded paper
sizes, installed options and more.
HOW THE WORKCENTRE 7346 EXCEEDS THE EASE-OF-MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENT:
NETWORK MANAGEMENT
It couldn't be easier for the network administrator: The WorkCentre 7346 integrates into virtually any
network environment. Network configuration is made simple with CentreWare Web configuration
wizards, which eliminates the need for your IT staff to perform tasks at the front panel of each device
on your network. The WorkCentre 7346 includes support for multiple native network environments,
including TCP/IP, IPv4/IPv6, SNMP, SMB, Novel IPX, AppleTalk and IPP.
XEROX CENTREWARE SOFTWARE
Xerox CentreWare Web (CWW) software is a powerful device-management solution for IT departments.
CWW is free software that eases the chore of installing, configuration, managing, monitoring and
pulling reports from the networked printers and multifunction systems throughout your enterprise –
regardless of vendor. Xerox also addresses enterprise asset management through compatibility with
network management tools for Sun, Novell, Microsoft and other environments.
