6 Xerox WorkCentre 7232 / 7242 Evaluator Guide
Evaluate Productivity
In addition to actual print engine speed, consider attributes that affect overall throughput. Are the copy, print, scan and fax features
powerful enough to support your busy workgroups? Does the MFP include other capabilities to increase the productivity of your
employees, like a DADF for processing originals or expandable paper capacity? Does the MFP come ready to connect to your network?
Is the device appropriately sized for the entire workgroup? Does the MFP deliver the image quality you require to handle your business
output and produce projects in-house? Is the MFP designed to stay available for programming even while busy with other tasks? Can
you monitor the device functions from your desktop and/or at the device?
Productivity
The WorkCentre 7232/7242 series delivers fast black-and-white output speeds to quickly
process your daily workloads, with speeds of up to 32 ppm and up to 40 ppm, respectively.
The WorkCentre 7232/7242 series also delivers color output speeds of up to 10 ppm,
which enables your employees to conveniently create color documents. Multipage and
double-sided copy, scan and fax jobs are quickly processed with the available 75-sheet
DADF, minimizing time spent feeding originals in to the MFP. And, with first-copy-out
times (FCOTs) as fast as 6 seconds for black-and-white and 15 seconds for color, you won’t
have to wait long for your jobs to start after you’ve programmed them and clicked the
green Start button.
Network Performance
Performance isn’t limited to raw document feeds and speeds. The WorkCentre
7232/7242 series utilizes a 667 MHz network controller with 1.2 GB of memory and a
40 GB hard drive standard — it’s primed to process your large, complex jobs. In addi-
tion, USB 2.0 and 10/100Base-TX Ethernet connectivity come standard for high-speed
and networked deployment, and optional adapters for 802.11b/g wireless Ethernet and
Bluetooth
®
gives you flexible options for connecting your system to your office network.
The WorkCentre 7232/7242 series is easy on your network as well. With RAM collation,
files are sent over the network just once, no matter how many sets are printed. Job
pipelining allows the MFP to process print jobs even if the print engine is busy with an
earlier job, which optimizes system performance.
Image Quality
With 600 x 600 dpi copy resolution and 600 x 600 x 4 dpi print resolution, the WorkCentre
7232/7242 series generates high-quality copies and prints with crisp text and images.
The WorkCentre 7232/7242 series utilizes a number of advanced imaging technologies to
deliver fast, reliable, high-quality output, including:
Xerox Emulsion Aggregate High Grade (EA-HG) toner — this chemically grown toner
•
technology features smaller, more uniformly sized particles for excellent shadow detail,
vibrant colors, consistent color accuracy, and crisp fine-line detail.
Trickle Charge Development — a Xerox-exclusive technology that maintains print con-
•
sistency throughout the workday by feeding a mixture of developer and toner into the
print engine, which helps prevent eleventh-hour print-quality issues.
Intermediate Belt Transfer — provides consistent image transfers, fewer paper jams
•
and increased uptime.
