Evaluate Productivity - Xerox WorkCentre 7346 Evaluator Manual

EVALUATE PRODUCTIVITY

In addition to actual print engine speed, consider the things that affect overall productivity. 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 minimise network
traffic? Can you monitor the device functions from your desktop and/or at the device?
PRODUCTIVITY
The productivity of the WorkCentre 7346 delivers output speeds of 45 ppm black and white/40 ppm
colour. 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
colour. With a black and white first-page-out time as fast as 4.8 seconds and a colour 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 also features fast warm-up times of 30 seconds from low power mode and 70 seconds from
cold start.
NETWORK PERFORMANCE
Performance isn't limited to raw document feeds and speeds. The WorkCentre 7346 multifunction
system network controller utilises 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 to your company's specific needs.
The WorkCentre 7346 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 multifunction
system to process print jobs even if the print engine is busy with an earlier print job – thus optimising
system performance by avoiding delays during job processing.
IMAGE QUALITY
With 600 x 600 dpi copy resolution and 600 x 600 x 8 dpi or 1200 x 1200 dpi print resolution, the
WorkCentre 7346 generates high-quality copies and prints with crisp text and images. The WorkCentre
7346 utilises a number of advanced imaging technologies to deliver fast, reliable, high-quality
output, including:
Traditional toner
particles
Chemically grown
EA-HG toner
Xerox also delivers multiple page description languages (PDLs) to ensure your printed output meets
your high expectations, with Adobe
HOW THE WORKCENTRE 7346 EXCEEDS THE PRODUCTIVITY REQUIREMENT:
• Xerox Emulsion Aggregate (EA) toner – this chemically grown toner technology features
smaller, more uniformly sized particles for excellent shadow detail, vibrant colours, consistent
colour accuracy and crisp fine-line detail.
• Trickle 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.
• Intermediate Belt Transfer with Micro Tandem Engine – provides the speed and efficiency of
single-pass colour with consistent image transfers, fewer paper jams and increased uptime.
• Belt 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.
