Introduced in September 2008, Xerox expanded its device
offering by bringing high-end multifunctional features such
as scanning and fax capabilities to small and medium sized
business at an affordable price.
BERTL recently tested the WorkCentre 4260 XF, which at
55 ppm monochrome with a maximum paper capacity of up
to 3,100 sheets, is the high-end system in the series. The
system lists at $5,499, (as a digital copier/network
printer/scanning/LAN fax), and at this economic pricing, is
positioned by Xerox as providing “truly affordable
multifunctional capabilities. The WorkCentre 4260 is
available in several configurations designed to meet the
needs of small to mid-sized workgroups, configurations
include;
The WorkCentre 4260 controller is built on Xerox’s SMart
Controller Print System, which in turn is based on a 400
MHz PowerPC CPU, and includes PCL 5, PCL 6 and
PostScript 3 print drivers for both Microsoft Windows,
Apple Macintosh and Linux platforms.
For network and device management, Xerox CentreWare
Web enables users to perform detailed status checks on
the system and consumables, administer system settings,
and manage access and accounting controls. Xerox
provides device management support for some of the most
wide-ranging network environments which include
Unicenter TNG, Tivoli Netware, Microsoft Management
Console, HP OpenView, and SAP R/3. Xerox’s SMart Kit
technology monitors critical device components in order to
predict and prevent downtime.
Xerox's advanced MFP security features protect the
document, device, and transmission path, and are
available on all new WorkCentre MFPs. Encrypted Disk
and Image Overwrite features protect latent images
recorded on the hard drive, and can be used automatically
upon job completion or on demand. The Secure Print and
Secure Fax safety measures ensure sensitive information
stays private. With systems equipped with network
scanning, users can create encrypted and searchable
Adobe PDF.
In the following test report, BERTL takes an in-depth look
at the WorkCentre 4260, testing and evaluating its
productivity, image quality and ease-of-use.
