XEROX
Productivity relies on tools that do their job day-in and day-out. Consider how often you need to
intervene with the machine to
replace paper or other consumables
or to
clear jams
or other problems. How
easy is that intervention
and
how long is the device 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?
Day to Day Operation
Simple paper paths and a minimum of moving parts means there is very little that can go wrong. Any
paper jams or misfeeds that do occur are all accessed from the front of the machine, making this an
easy issue for users to resolve – and avoiding unnecessary calls to the IT Help Desk.
The WorkCentre 7228/7235/7245 series has been engineered to minimise user interventions and
downtime. One clear example – SMart Kit
™
technology is built into this series of multifunction systems
to predict and prevent system downtime. The Xerox multifunction system constantly monitors itself and
communicates to users and administrators through the local system UI, through the bi-directional print
drivers, through email, through CentreWare Web and CentreWare IS to alert if a potential failure is
going to occur. The user can simply order a SMart Kit, replace the SMart Kit as they would a laser
print cartridge, and avoid costly downtime. Easy-access SMart Kits include:
• SMart Kit Waste Toner Container
• SMart Kit Fuser Module
• SMart Kit Print Drums
Smart eSolutions offers hands-free, hassle-free, and secure administration of automatic meter reads
for Xerox devices – further easing the chore of managing supplies for the WorkCentre
7228/7235/7245 series.
Other advancements that contribute to the reliability of this multifunction system series include:
• The Micro Tandem Engine and Intermediate Belt Transfer enable faster, and more reliable colour
printing and copying speeds in a very small footprint. Four developer assemblies process each
colour individually and then transfer that image onto the intermediate image belt - registering
it with the previous images and limited the number of paper passes required by the printing
process.
- The short, straight paper path also allows the WorkCentre
7228/7235/7245 to reliably handle heavyweight paper – up to
220 gsm from all trays.
- The Belt Fuser has an extended contact area, which means toner
adheres more completely for fast printing and a professional finish.
- Trickle Development, which adds fresh developer material
as it’s needed, assures that prints are consistent from the
beginning of a job to the end.
