Section 2: Evaluating Black and White Laser Printers

Overview

Based on continuous study of our customers’ productivity requirements, Xerox recommends that the following criteria be used 
when evaluating which black and white laser printer to purchase for your office.

Ease of Installation, Management and Use

Does the printer offer an installation process simple enough for non-technical employees? 
Does it include helpful tools that simplify day-to-day management?

Productivity

Does the printer deliver the level of performance required to help users become 
more productive?

Versatility

Can the printer adapt to meet the evolving needs of a busy single user or a 
small work team?

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 printer. When the same criteria are used to evaluate every 
device under consideration, you’ll see how the Phaser 3250 laser printer excels 
against other manufacturers’ products.
