2006 Pick of the Year
Outstanding Segment 3 Multifunctional
Imaging System, Spring 2006
Xerox WorkCentre Pro 232
Scoring extraordinarily high marks across the board in BLI's battery of lab tests, the 32-ppm
Xerox WorkCentre Pro 232 has earned a Spring 2006 BLI "Pick" award for "Outstanding
Segment 3 Multifunctional Imaging System." In addition to offering very good reliability
in its two-month test, requiring just one service call and misfeeding eight times, this
competitively priced unit stands out in many other ways. Offering strong productivity, this
unit's print efficiency in BLI's job stream test is the highest of competitive units, and its
efficiency for producing booklets in both print and copy modes is the highest of tested
units in its speed range. BLI Lab Manager Pete Emory said, "This model offers a lot of
bang for the buck because it operates so much faster than other products with similar
rated speeds."
Emory added that the IT aspects of the WorkCentre Pro 232 are exceptional, citing its
highly automated installation procedures and excellent print drivers that let users see
device status before sending a job. Another nice feature not seen on many products is its
print-around capability. Emory explained that with this capability, if a job cannot be printed
for some reason (for example, if the needed paper size is not loaded), jobs following the
problematic job will not be held up, as they will with competitive products.
The WorkCentre Pro 232, which has a base price of $11,445, also offers excellent
multitasking and ease of use. Indeed, Xerox's well-designed control panel, combined
with the user interface of its drivers and utilities, won the company a BLI "Outstanding
Achievement" award in "Multifunction Device User Interface Design" in 2004. This unit
offers standard copy, network print and scan functionality, while fax, PC fax and Internet
fax are optional. BLI highly recommends the WorkCentre Pro 232 for monthly volumes of
up to 75,000 impressions.
