WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 multifunction printers (MFPs) are packed with high-end features to deliver a level of productivity above and
beyond your typical office MFP.
Redefining workgroup productivity
Whether your organization needs exceptional copier performance or the added power of
printing, scanning and faxing, the WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs are all about productivity. A host of time-saving features boost workgroup-efficiency, and advanced workflow
solutions streamline the tasks users perform every day.
Print and copy speeds up to 25 / 30 ppm and a scan speed of up to 55 ipm keep up •
with your busy pace.
A robust copier that can handle your workgroup’s volumes and offers convenient •
features, including ID card copy, which scans both sides of an ID card and prints them
face-up on a single sheet of paper.
Powerful scanning tools let you back up critical documents — converting them into •
digital files for easy sharing and archiving while reducing the amount of physical
storage space required.
Introduce new workflows or automate repetitive processes within the office environment •
by automatically routing documents to predefined locations.
With color scanning available on the 5225A / 5230A configuration*, users can take advan-•
tage of all the benefits of scanning while maintaining the original look and feel of full
color documents.
* Black-and-white scanning copier and printer-copier configurations of the WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 cannot be
upgraded to the color-scanning WorkCentre 5225A / 5230A configuration.

Section 2: Evaluating Multifunction Printers
Overview
Based on continuous study of our customers’ business-productivity requirements, it is recommended that the following
criteria be used when evaluating which MFP to purchase for your office.
Productivity
Can the MFP keep up with the demands of your daily and monthly workloads?
Installation and Deployment
How does the MFP simplify the deployment process?
Ease of Use and Management
Does the MFP include tools and features to lighten the load for your IT staff?
Reliability
Is the MFP robust enough to meet your demands, and is it backed by quality service?
Versatility
Can the MFP be customized to meet your organization’s specific needs?
Security
Does the MFP help keep confidential information private?
Cost Control
Can you monitor and control your organization’s cost of printing?
This section examines each of the above evaluation criteria in greater detail, covering
the specific features and performance attributes you should look for in a black-and-white
MFP. When the same criteria are used to evaluate every device under consideration, you’ll
see how the WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs excel against other manufacturers’ products.
6 WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 Evaluator Guide
Evaluate Productivity
In addition to actual print engine speed, consider attributes that affect overall throughput. Are the copy, print, scan and fax features
powerful enough to support the demands of busy workgroups? Does the MFP include other capabilities to increase users’ productivity,
like expanded paper capacity and a Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) for processing originals? Does the MFP come ready
to connect to your network? Is the device appropriately sized for the entire workgroup? Does the MFP deliver the image quality users
require for high-quality business output? Does the MFP stay available for programming even while busy with other tasks? Can device
functions be monitored from a desktop and/or at the device?
How the WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs exceed the productivity requirement
Performance
The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs deliver fast output that quickly processes heavy
workloads, with speeds of up to 25 / 30 ppm. Multipage and double-sided copy, scan
and fax jobs are quickly processed with a 75-sheet DADF, which minimizes time spent
feeding originals into the device. A first-page-out time (FPOT) as fast as 4.3 seconds
means less waiting for jobs to begin.

25 / 30
4.3 seconds
Performance isn’t limited to raw document feeds and speeds. The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230
Printer/Copier configuration utilizes a Power PC 333 MHz network controller with 512 MB
of memory and a 40 GB hard drive; it’s built to process large, complex jobs. In addition,
10/100Base-TX Ethernet connectivity comes standard for high-speed network deployment.
The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs are network-friendly, as well. With RAM collation, files
are sent over the network just once, no matter how many sets are printed. Job pipelining
optimizes system performance by allowing the device to process print jobs even if the
print engine is busy with an earlier job.
Image Quality
With up to 600 x 600 dpi copy resolution and up to 1200 x 1200 dpi print resolution, the
WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs generate high-quality copies and prints with crisp text and
images. Plus, Xerox Emulsion Aggregation High Grade (EA-HG) toner — chemically grown
to produce smaller, more uniformly sized particles — delivers excellent shadowing and
outstanding fine-line detail.
The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs also feature multiple page description languages (PDLs),
including emulations for PCL
Concurrency
The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs’ network controller helps prevent device bottlenecks. Scan
and fax jobs can be programmed and executed without waiting for the print engine to
become available, while newly programmed copy jobs will join the job queue and be executed
when earlier jobs are completed. By keeping the front panel available for programming while the
print engine is busy, users can stay productive and avoid idle time waiting for the MFP.

5e and PCL® 6, and optional Adobe® PostScript® 3™.
Monitoring System Status
With the WorkCentre 5225 / 5230, up-to-date information on every processed job —
print, copy, scan, email or fax — plus in-depth device information, is always at users’
fingertips. Whether at the device or from a desktop, documents and jobs can be managed
through an integrated job queue with a few mouse-clicks or button pushes.
WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 Evaluator Guide 7
Evaluate Installation and Deployment
Installing and deploying MFPs organization-wide can be a time-consuming, complicated process. Consider the ease with which the
device will integrate into the existing network infrastructure. Also, evaluate the process required to deploy printing and scanning services to your users, and whether the device includes helpful tools that automate the process.
How the WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs exceed the installation and deployment requirements
Installation
The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs’ 10/100Base-TX Ethernet connection features automatic IP addressing, device naming, and Ethernet speed sensing for simple, automatic
network installation. Management and system setup can be accomplished through a
variety of means, including easy wizard-based processes found within Xerox CentreWare
Web. Plus, the cloning feature enables network installation of multiple devices with identical settings, eliminating the need to set up each device individually.
Deployment
®
The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs’ print and scan drivers can be deployed centrally,
eliminating the need for IT staff to perform desk-to-desk manual installation of the driver
software. Again, CentreWare Web wizards are provided to aid in the processes of installing, troubleshooting and upgrading print and scan drivers, freeing up IT staff for more
pressing projects. Driver support is delivered for Windows (2000 / Server 2003 / XP / Vista),
including most with 32- and 64-bit drivers, Macintosh OS (10.3 and above), and multiple
UNIX and Linux platforms.
CentreWare Web helps administrators quickly
install, configure and troubleshoot all networked
printers and MFPs — regardless of manufacturer.
