Section 1: Evaluating Multifunction Printers
Productivity
In addition to actual print engine speed, consider the factors that affect
overall throughput.
Are the device’s scanning and faxing features powerful enough
to support the demands of your busiest departments? Is the device appropriately
sized for the entire workgroup? Can important features be used simultaneously, or are
employees forced to wait for the device to become “free”? Is the system designed to
minimize network traffic? Can device functions be monitored from users’ desktops
and/or at the device?
How the WorkCentre 5300 series
multifunction printer exceeds
the productivity requirement:
Speed
The WorkCentre 5300 series delivers output
speeds up to 25/30/35 ppm. Document handling
speed is notable as well, with a 110-sheet duplex
automatic document feeder (DADF) that scans
color and black-and-white documents at 55
images per minute. With first-copy-out times as
fast as 4 seconds, users won’t have to wait long
for their jobs to get started, either.
Network performance
Performance isn’t limited to raw document
feeds and speeds. The WorkCentre 5300
series multifunction printer features a high-
performance processor plus 1 GB of memory
and an 160 GB hard drive, delivering the
necessary horsepower to process your large,
complex jobs. In addition, 10/100/1000Base-TX
Ethernet connectivity comes standard for shared
network printing, and ensures you can connect
the WorkCentre 5300 series according to your
company’s specific needs.
Image quality
With up to 600 x 600 dpi copy resolution and
up to 1200 x 1200 dpi print resolution, the
WorkCentre 5300 series multifunction printer
generates high-quality copies and prints
with crisp text and images. To ensure that
printed output meets users’ high expectations,
Xerox also delivers multiple page description
languages (PDLs) including PDF, XPS

emulation and optional Adobe

Concurrency
The controller’s advanced design also helps
avoid bottlenecks at the front panel. Concurrent
operation means you won’t have to wait until
a long print job is complete to program a fax,
scan or copy job. By keeping the front panel
available for programming while the print
engine is busy, users stay productive and avoid
idle time waiting for the multifunction printer.
Scan and fax jobs can be programmed and
executed without waiting for the print engine
to become available, while newly programmed
copy jobs will join the job queue and be
executed when earlier jobs are completed.
Print Around
The advanced Print Around feature holds a job
in need of resources (such as a special paper
size) and prints the next job in the queue, which
means no more waiting for a critical print job.
Streamlined processes
Easily share files or introduce electronic
archiving with powerful scan capabilities.
Create text-searchable files at the device for
easy retrieval. Compression technology reduces
network load to enable fast transmission. Plus,
you can create job flow sheets to automatically
route documents to predefined locations,
including combinations of email addresses,
fax destinations and FTP/SMB sites.
Monitoring system status
The WorkCentre 5300 series multifunction
printer delivers up-to-date information on
every job — print, copy, scan, email or fax,
plus in-depth device information. Whether
at the device or from the desktop, users can
easily manage documents and jobs through
an integrated job queue. And for easy remote
management, CentreWare
