EVALUATE 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
. How
easy is that intervention
, and
how
long is the device typically down
? If outside assistance is required, how
easy is it to arrange
and how
long do you have to wait? Is the device a
reliable network citizen
? Has it been
tested and certified
by
independent industry participants?
HOW THE WORKCENTRE 7346 EXCEEDS THE RELIABILITY REQUIREMENT:
DAY-TO-DAY RELIABILITY
Reliability comes in two forms: system reliability and image reliability. The WorkCentre 7346 has
been designed to provide maximum system reliability and uptime: Simple paper paths and a minimum
of moving parts help optimise day-to-day reliability and contribute to monthly duty cycles of up
to 150,000 pages. Any paper jams or misfeeds are cleared through access doors on the front of the
machine, enabling your employees to proactively resolve most issues and limit calls to your help desk.
The WorkCentre 7346 also minimises user interventions for loading paper – it has maximum capacities
of 2,180 sheets or 3,140 sheets. Xerox SMart Kit
TM
technology also helps minimise downtime by
predicting when critical parts will fail and alerting you to order replacement units. SMart Kit replaceable
units are as simple and easy to replace as toner cartridges. Furthermore, if WorkCentre 7346 multifunction
system does experience an interruption in service, CentreWare alerts can be configured to inform IT staff.
