  • Page 7: Evaluate Productivity

    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? hOW ThE WOrKCENTrE 7346 MFP EXCEEdS ThE PrOduCTIvITY rEQuIrEMENT: 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...

    Whether at the device or from your desktop, you can manage documents and jobs through an inte- grated job queue with a few mouse-clicks or button pushes. 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 infra- structure. 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 7346 MFP EXCEEdS ThE INSTAllATION ANd dEPlOYMENT rEQuIrEMENTS: INSTAllATION W hen you choose Xerox, you can rest assured that your equipment will be delivered and installed to your specifications and expectations.

    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? hOW ThE WOrKCENTrE 7346 MFP EXCEEdS ThE EASE-OF-uSE rEQuIrEMENT: FrONT PANEl uSEr INTErFACE I t 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.

  • Page 17: Evaluate Cost Control

    EVALUATE COST CONTROL One of the most important things to consider when evaluating a device with color capabilities is to understand the cost of operation. Does the vendor provide the tools you need to control access and use of the system’s color features? Are you charged a premium for the black-and-white output you create because the system is color capable? Are the accounting tools available to help track and assign printing costs? Does the vendor offer tools and services to help you right-size your deployment? hOW ThE WOrKCENTrE 7346 MFP EXCEEdS ThE COST CONTrOl rEQuIrEMENT: ACCOuNTING CAPAbIlITIES X erox provides multiple levels of accounting capabilities to give your organization the control it needs for tracking and assigning color costs. Xerox also provides tools to control employee access to the color features of your WorkCentre 7346 multifunction printer — you have complete control of your color output costs.
  • Page 18 • A utomatic Color Print — the device detects black-and-white pages within a print job even with the output selection set to Color. The black-and-white printed pages are then printed and charged at the black-and-white rate.
