A key attribute of color-capable MFPs is that they deliver
uncompromised black-and-white features
and performance
, at
black-and-white MFP running costs
, while delivering the convenience of built-
in color printing capabilities when you need them. To help customers, many of whom will be
deploying color for the first time in their organizations,
control the cost of color printing
– consider
the
accounting and access control features
built into the system and accompanying management
utilities. Lastly, consider whether the vendor can make recommendations on the
types and amounts
of equipment
for you to deploy in your organization to help
control overall document costs
and
optimize your investments
by
right-sizing your document infrastructure
.
EVALUATE COST CONTROL
Black-and-white system costs, with convenient color built in
The WorkCentre 7132 MFP is a cost effective system to deploy into your small to medium sized
business, or small workgroup within a larger organization. Regardless of whether you purchase the
system on a service and supplies contract or buy it outright and purchase consumables on an on-going basis,
you’ll find it delivers the key black-and-white printing and copying performance you need at a cost you’d
expect for a black-and-white system – with the added convenience of color when you need it.
For those customers on Xerox maintenance and supplies contract, the WorkCentre 7132 separates color and
black-and-white page counts to allow for separate billing of these pages – even if they’re in the same docu-
ment or job. With a Xerox maintenance and supplies contract, page costs are fixed - meaning the per-click
charge doesn’t change depending on how much toner is used. Similarly, page-size doesn’t effect your per
page cost – tabloid and letter size pages carry the same cost.
Accounting for color
Two features have been specifically developed to ensure color and black-and-white copies and prints are
accurately accounted for, and that access to walk-up color copying features can be managed.
•
Automatic Color Copy
– the device detects black-and-white and color pages separately in the original source
document and prints and charges for them at their different rates. In addition, you can select “Black-and-White
Only” to copy color documents in black-and-white. These output settings can be assigned as the copy default for
the device to limit color usage and manage costs. (Insert screen capture – copy interface)
•
Automatic Color Print
– the device detects black-and-white pages within a print job even with the output selection
set to Color. The black-and-white printed pages are then printed and charged at the black-and-white rate.
