Evaluate User Friendliness Deploying a new MFP can be challenging, whether in a large organization or small office. The process includes integrating the device into your existing network infrastructure and deploying print drivers to users' computers. And because most small businesses have limited access to IT resources, it's important that the MFP you purchase is easy to manage. Evaluate the tools delivered with the device, and whether they will ease the task of day-to-day management. Lastly, think about ease of use. Is the MFP simple to operate, and will users quickly feel comfortable using it? Are the user interfaces, both the front panel and print driver, well designed and easy to navigate? How the Phaser 6128MFP multifunction printer exceeds the user friendliness requirement: Installation Easy installation starts with unpacking the printer and ends when it's powered up and ready for use. The Phaser 6128MFP multifunction printer is easily removed from its packaging, and the included quick install guide helps set up the device, connect the MFP to your network and a power source, and power-up the device. The MFP will automatically be assigned an IP address and join the network via DHCP (other networking protocols can be set at the front panel), and printer settings such as language selection and feature setup are completed either at the front panel or via remote management software like Xerox CentreWare® Internet Services (CentreWare IS) or CentreWare Web. Driver deployment Installing print drivers onto users' computers is a fast, easy process. Simply insert the Phaser 6128MFP multifunction printer installation CD and follow the prompts.
