Section 1: Evaluating Colour
Multifunction Systems
Productivity
In addition to actual print engine speed, consider the factors that affect
overall throughput.
Are the multifunction system's scanning and faxing features
powerful enough to support the demands of your busiest departments? Is the
multifunction system appropriately sized for the entire workgroup? Can important
features be used simultaneously, or are employees forced to wait for the system
to become “free”? Is the system designed to minimise network traffi c? Can the
multifunction system's functions be monitored from users’ desktops and/or at the
system?
How the WorkCentre 7120
multifunction system exceeds
the productivity requirement:
Speed
The WorkCentre 7120 delivers colour and
black and white output speeds up to 20
ppm - even on two-sided A4-size media.
Document handling speed is notable as
well, with a 110-sheet duplex automatic
document feeder (DADF) that scans
colour and black and white documents
at 55 images per minute. With colour
fi rst-copy-out times as fast as 8.1 seconds
and black and white fi rst-copy-out times
as fast as 6.5 seconds, users won’t have
to wait long for their jobs to get started,
either.
Network performance
Performance isn’t limited to raw
document feeds and speeds. The
WorkCentre 7120 multifunction system
features a high-performance processor
plus 2 GB of memory and an 80 GB hard
drive, delivering the necessary horsepower
to process your large, complex jobs.
In addition, 10/100Base-TX Ethernet
connectivity comes standard for shared
network printing, and optional adapters
for 802.11b wireless Ethernet ensure
you can connect the WorkCentre 7120
according to your company’s specifi c
needs.
Image quality
With 600 x 600 dpi copy resolution and
up to 600 x 600 x 4 dpi print resolution,
the WorkCentre 7120 multifunction
system generates high-quality copies
and prints with crisp text and images.
To ensure that printed output meets
users’ high expectations, Xerox also
delivers multiple page description
languages (PDLs) including PDF, XPS
®
,
PCL
®
6 emulation, HP-GL2™, and optional
Adobe
®
PostScript
®
3™.
Concurrency
The controller’s advanced design also
helps avoid bottlenecks at the front
panel. Concurrent operation means
you won’t have to wait until a long
print job is complete to programme a
fax, scan or copy job. By keeping the
front panel available for programming
while the print engine is busy, users stay
productive and avoid idle time waiting
for the multifunction system. Scan
and fax jobs can be programmed and
executed without waiting for the print
engine to become available, while newly
programmed copy jobs will join the job
queue and be executed when earlier jobs
are completed.
Print Around
The advanced Print Around feature holds
a job in need of resources (such as a
special paper size) and prints the next
job in the queue, which means no more
waiting for
a critical print job.
Streamlined processes
Easily share fi les or introduce electronic
archiving with powerful scan capabilities.
Create text-searchable fi les at the
device for easy retrieval. Compression
technology reduces network load to
enable fast transmission. Plus, you can
create job fl ow sheets to automatically
route documents to predefi ned locations,
including combinations of email
addresses, fax destinations and FTP/SMB
sites.
Monitoring system status
The WorkCentre 7120 multifunction
system delivers up-to-date information
on every job - print, copy, scan,
email or fax, plus in-depth device
information. Whether at the device
or from the desktop, users can easily
manage documents and jobs through
an integrated job queue. For easy
remote management, CentreWare

installation, troubleshooting, feature
set-up and upgrading.
