14 Xerox WorkCentre 7425/7428/7435 Evaluator Guide
Touch screen user interface
It doesn’t matter if a job is simple or complex — the touch screen user interface (UI)
on the WorkCentre 7425/7428/7435 device is easy to learn and offers quick, intuitive
job programming. It features touch-screen functionality and logical organization, with
the most commonly accessed features on the default screen and tab-based access to
advanced programming features. A selection of buttons accompanies the touch-panel UI
for manual command and numbers inputs, management features access, and job execu-
tion (with the familiar green Start button). Third-party applications can be integrated with
the front panel UI as well.
Bidirectional print drivers
The WorkCentre 7425/7428/7435 device utilizes CentreWare print drivers to provide an
easy, intuitive method of programming jobs and receiving updated system status infor-
mation. Like the front-panel touch-screen UI, the print drivers are logically organized by
tabs. The most commonly used features are located on the default tab, with advanced
features easily accessible when programming more complex jobs. The print drivers also
provide bidirectional information like system status, job status, currently loaded paper
sizes, installed options and more.
Network management
It couldn’t be easier for a network administrator: The WorkCentre 7425/7428/7435 multi-
function device integrates into virtually any network environment. Network configuration
is made simple with CentreWare Web configuration wizards, which eliminate the need for
IT staff to perform tasks at the front panel of each networked device. The WorkCentre
7425/7428/7435 device includes support for multiple native network environments,
including TCP/IP, IPv6, SNMP, SMB, Novel IPX, AppleTalk and IPP.
Xerox CentreWare software
Xerox CentreWare Web (CWW) software is a powerful device management solution for
IT departments. CWW is free software that eases the chore of installing, configuration,
managing, monitoring and pulling reports from the networked printers and multifunction
printers throughout your enterprise — regardless of vendor. Xerox also addresses enter-
prise asset management through compatibility with network management tools for Sun,
Novell, Microsoft and other environments.
Evaluate Ease of Use and Management
Look for fully integrated functions that work together to create more value than the sum of their parts. Are the functions easy to
learn? Is the user interface consistent from function to function? Do the network features give users full access to the power of your
network? Does the device include additional software to take full advantage of digital documents? Is the device easy for your IT
organization to manage as part of its infrastructure?
