EVALUATE PRODUCTIVITY (CONTINUED)
CONCurrENCY
The WorkCentre 7300 series network controller 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, your employees can stay productive and avoid idle time waiting for the MFP. 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 com-
pleted.
MONITOrING SYSTEM STATuS
With the WorkCentre 7300 series, up-to-date information on every job you process—print, copy,
scan, email or fax, plus in-depth device information—is always at your fingertips. Whether at the
device or from your desktop, you can manage documents and jobs through an integrated job queue
with a few mouse-clicks or button pushes.
EVALUATE AND DEPLOYMENT
Deploying
one or multiple copier/printers and multifunction printers throughout your organization is a
potentially time-consuming, complicated process. This is not limited to physically placing the units in your
environment; it is really about how these systems will integrate into your
existing network infrastructure
.
You also need to consider the process required to
deploy printing and scanning services
to your users,
and how automated that process can be.
dEPlOYMENT
Xerox builds features into its products to ease your deployment efforts. All network-enabled con-
figurations include a 10/100Base-TX Ethernet connection with features including automatic IP
addressing, device naming, and Ethernet speed sensing to provide simple and automatic network
installation. Management and system setup can be accomplished through a variety of means, includ-
ing easy, wizard-based processes found within Xerox CentreWare
®
Web. Features like cloning enable
multiple-device installation onto networks with identical settings, eliminating the need to set up each
system individually.
Another critical area to evaluate is how to deploy print and scan drivers to your employees’ computers.
Print and scan drivers can be deployed centrally, so your IT staff needn’t perform desk-to-desk
manual installation of the driver software. Again, CentreWare Web wizards are provided to aid in
the process of installing, troubleshooting and upgrading print and scan drivers for your employees,
freeing up your IT staff for more pressing projects. Driver support is delivered for Windows (2000 /
Server 2003 / XP / Vista), including most operating systems with 32- and 64-bit drivers, Macintosh OS
(10.3 and above), and multiple UNIX and Linux platforms.
