Evaluation Criteria
As the company that invented laser printing, Ethernet networking, and the first digital
Multifunction System, Xerox has invested years of research and development in designing
the most productive office devices in the industry. This experience has positioned Xerox as
the recognised leader in office multifunction system design and performance. Based on our
in-depth understanding of customer needs in the office, Xerox recommends the following
criteria be considered in the evaluation process of a shared multifunction system:
Productivity
Can it keep up with the demands of a multiple user environment?
Deployment
How does the multifunction system ease the demands of the deployment process?
Ease of Use and Management
Are all the capabilities integrated and intuitive?
Reliability
Is it designed and build for demanding use and backed by a quality organisation?
Versatility
Can the multifunction system grow with changing demands?
Finishing
Can the multifunction system provide the distribution ready documents that you require?
Security
Is the multifunction system able to keep your confidential information safe?
Cost Control
Can you monitor and control your organisations cost of printing?
Multifunction systems often look the same from the outside. And from a quick look at
specifications on speeds, feeds, and print resolution, you might incorrectly conclude that
most multifunction systems are basically equal. This section of the Evaluator Guide will
suggest ways you can thoroughly evaluate them, and show how the Xerox WorkCentre
®
7228/7235/7245 series can best meet your needs.
