technology constantly monitors the
ColorQube 8700’s easy-to-change critical
components to predict and prevent
downtime.
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 schedule 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?
•

on the reliability that is engineered into
the ColorQube 8700, Xerox has trained and
developed a service delivery network that

most out of your equipment.
