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 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 workgroup multifunction system: • Productivity - can it keep up with the demands of a multiple user environment? • Installation - how does the multifunction system 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 organisation? • Versatility - can the multifunction system grow if/when your needs change? • Security - is the multifunction system able to keep your confidential information safe? • Cost Control - can you monitor and control your organisation's cost of printing? Multifunction systems often look the same from the outside. Based on a quick look at specifications on speeds and 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 Phaser 8560MFP can best meet your needs. 6 Xerox Phaser 8560MFP Evaluator Guide
