Section 2: Evaluating Multifunction Systems
Overview
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 recognized leader in office MFP 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 workgroup MFP:
• Productivity — can it keep up with the
demands of a multiple user environment?
• Installation — how does the MFP ease the
demands of installing the system and software drivers?
• Ease of Use and Management — are all the
capabilities integrated and intuitive?
• Reliability — is it designed and built for
demanding use and backed by a quality
organization?
• Versatility — can the MFP grow if/when your
needs change?
• Security — is the MFP able to keep your
confidential information safe?
• Cost Control — can you monitor and control
your organization’s cost of printing?
MFPs often look the same from the outside
— based on a quick look at specifications on
speeds and resolution, it’s tempting to conclude
that most MFPs are basically equal. This section
of the Evaluator Guide will lay out essential criteria for evaluating MFPs — and demonstrate
how the Phaser 8560MFP surpasses expectations in each critical area.
