Xerox® ColorQube™ 9201/9202/9203 Tabloid-size Color Multifunction Printer Xerox ColorQube 9201/9202/9203 Multifunction Printer Evaluator Guide
About this Guide This Evaluator Guide introduces you to the ColorQube™ 9201/9202/9203 multifunction printer, explains its key features and performance advantages and provides guidance throughout your evaluation process.
Section 1: Evaluating Workgroup Color Multifunction Printers Evaluation Overview As the need for color output, scanning, asset management, security and content management continue to drive IT technology decisions, the need to integrate multifunction printers (MFPs) into your business processes escalates.
Section 1: Evaluating Workgroup Color Multifunction Printers Color Costs Most common office documents viewed on a computer screen contain color— so why shouldn’t there be color when those documents are transferred onto paper? Typical office document color distribution Office color documents can be classified by the amount of color used.
Section 1: Evaluating Workgroup Color Multifunction Printers Ease of Use and Management Look for fully integrated functions that work together to create more value than the sum of their parts.
Section 1: Evaluating Workgroup Color Multifunction Printers Ease of Use and Management Accessible advanced features Advanced features like Covers, Transparency Interleave and N-up give you a variety of output options. And with Build Job, you can easily integrate documents from the document handler and the platen, or from different paper trays—you can even mix simplex and duplex output into a single job. Use Sample Last Segment to review or change the output of your job section by section.
Automated Services Platform Network management Xerox CentreWare software Xerox offers SMart eSolutions, an application for automating and simplifying device management and ownership. This set of remote services tools automates the process of reporting MFP usage data to Xerox and ordering replacement supplies when toner levels run low. It couldn’t be easier for a network administrator: ColorQube™ 9201/9202/9203 devices integrate into virtually any network environment.
Section 1: Evaluating Workgroup Color Multifunction Printers Environmental Impact How does an MFP put you on a path to a greener workplace? Environmental impact can be assessed in a variety of ways. Does it have a lower total carbon footprint over the product lifecycle? Does it produce less waste? Can you get consistent image quality on environmentally friendly media? Solid ink waste vs. laser waste Cartridge-free solid ink is a true consumable; no empty toner cartridges to dispose or recycle.
Sustainability is not just a nice-to-do at Xerox. We view it as a way of doing business, not as a cost of doing business. In fact, Xerox focused on environmental performance and sustainability long before it was popular to do so. Consider: • In the 1980s Xerox was the first company to introduce energy-saving power-down features on its equipment, and the first to make two-sided printing a standard on its systems, significantly reducing paper use.
Section 1: Evaluating Workgroup Color Multifunction Printers Productivity In addition to actual print engine speed, consider the factors that affect overall throughput.
Section 1: Evaluating Workgroup Color Multifunction Printers Installation and Deployment Installing and deploying a fleet of copier/printers and multifunction devices throughout your organization is a potentially time-consuming, complicated process. The process isn’t limited to physically placing the units in their new environments, but also includes integrating the devices with the existing network infrastructure.
Section 1: Evaluating Workgroup Color Multifunction Printers Versatility How many functions can the device perform? How easy is it to upgrade from basic functions to more advanced functions? Can specific functions be added as requirements grow? Can multiple functions be performed simultaneously? How the ColorQube™ 9201/9202/9203 exceeds the versatility requirement: – S can to Mailbox stores scanned images on the device’s hard drive, for retrieval via web browser.
• E mbedded Fax (1-line or 2-line options) is the solution for traditional telephone fax workflows. With the Embedded Fax feature you can fax while printing or copying and eliminate separate fax machines. The dual-line option enables concurrent sending and receiving. Print faxes on special paper, or have them stapled. Use the secure fax feature for faxes that are for your eyes only. • L AN Fax makes faxing electronic files as easy as printing.
Section 1: Evaluating Workgroup Color Multifunction Printers Versatility Upgradability/Extensibility Media support and capacity Upgrade as your needs change and add more powerful document distribution capabilities such as network scanning, email or additional faxing or network accounting capabilities. You can also add paper handling and finishing options to extend the functionality of your MFP system.
Section 1: Evaluating Workgroup Color Multifunction Printers Security Capabilities What type of security requirements does your office require? Does the device have the security features to meet this demand? Can device access be password protected? Does the device remove latent images on disk drives and in memory? Does the MFP vendor participate in third-party testing and certification? How the ColorQube™ 9201/9202/9203 exceeds the security requirement: Integrated security • Firewall – Restricts access v
Section 1: Evaluating Workgroup Color Multifunction Printers Security Capabilities • L DAP Authentication/Secure LDAP – Adds ability to configure LDAP requests to only people with user IDs are sent to and authenticated by the LDAP server. • I P Filtering – Prevents unauthorized network access based on IP address or port number. • P rint Channel Encryption – Delivering secure communication via IPSec.
Section 1: Evaluating Workgroup Color Multifunction Printers Reliability Office productivity relies on tools that do their jobs day in and day out. Consider how often you need to intervene to replace paper or other consumables or to clear jams.
Section 2: Introducing the Xerox ColorQube 9201/9202/9203 Multifunction Printer Product Overview In the business world, nothing’s really black and white. That’s why you need color—to clarify, to emphasize, to stand out. And now, for the first time, color is priced right for any office. Bring your business to life with everyday color.
