Evaluating Color Multifunction Printers
 OvErv IEW
		 	
Xerox	invented	laser	printing,	Ethernet	networking,	and	the	first	digital	MFP 	—	we’ve	invested	years	of	
research 	and 	development 	in 	designing 	the 	most 	productive 	office 	solutions 	in 	the 	industry. 	This 	experience	  
has	positioned	Xerox	as	the	recognized	leader	in	office	MFP 	design	and	performance.	Based	on	our	 
in-depth	understanding	of	customer	requirements	in	the	office,	Xerox	recommends	that	you	consider	  
the	following	criteria	in	your	evaluation	process	of	departmental-class	copier/printers.
  
    Productivity
	 	 Can	it	keep	up	with	the	demands	of	your	daily	and	monthly	workloads?
  
    Installation and  deployment
	 	 How	does	the	MFP 	ease	the	demands	of	the	deployment	process?
  
    Ease of use and Management
	 	 Does	the	MFP 	include	tools	and	features	to	lighten	the	load	for	your	IT 	staff?
  
    reliability
	 	 Is	the	MFP 	robust	enough	to	meet	your	needs	and	backed	by	quality	service?
  
    v ersatility
	 	 Can	the	MFP 	be	customized	to	meet	your	specific	needs?
  
    Security
	 	 Does	the	MFP 	help	keep	your	confidential	information	private?
  
    Cost Control
	 	 Can	you	monitor	and	control	your	organization’s	cost	of	printing?
	 	 	 MFPs	often	look	the	same	from	the	
outside.	Judging	from	a	quick	glance	at	
features	and	performance	specifications,	
you	might	conclude	that	MFPs	are	largely	
equal.	This	section	of	the	Evaluator	Guide	
suggests	ways	you	can	more	thoroughly	
evaluate	MFPs	—	you’ll	soon	learn	that	
the WorkCentre 7346 multifunction printer 
will	exceed	all	your	requirements.

EVALUATE PRODUCTIVITY
In 	addition 	to 	actual 	print 	engine 	speed, 	consider 	the 	things 	that 	affect 	overall 	throughput. 	Are 	the 	scanning	
and	faxing	features	 powerful enough	to	support	your	busy	departments?	 What	is	the	warm-up wait time?	
Is	the	device	appropriately	sized	for	the	 entire workgroup?	Can	features	be	used	at	the	 same time, or are 
employees	forced	to	wait	for	the	device	to	become	“free”?	Is	the	system	designed	to	 minimize network 
traffic?	Can	you	monitor the device functions	from	your	desktop	and/or	at	the	device?
  PrO du CTI vITY
	 	 The	productivity	of	the	 WorkCentre	7346	multifunction	printer	delivers	output	speeds	of	up	to	45	
ppm	black-and-white/40	ppm	color.	Document	scanning	speed	is	notable	as	well,	with	a	75-sheet	
duplex	automatic	document	feeder	(DADF)	that	scans	single-	and	double-sided	documents	at	50	ipm	
black-and-white	and	45	ipm	color.	 With	a	black-and-white	first-page-out	time	as	fast	as	4.8	seconds	
and	a	color	first-page-out	time	as	fast	as	6.7	seconds,	you	won’t	have	to	wait	long	for	your	copy	jobs	
either.	 The	WorkCentre	7346	multifunction	printer	also	features	fast	warm-up	times	of	30	seconds	
from	low	power	mode	and	45	seconds	from	cold	start.
  NETWO rK P ErFO rMANCE
	 	 Performance	isn’t	limited	to	raw	document	feeds	and	speeds.	 The	WorkCentre	7346	multifunction	
printer’s	network	controller	utilizes	a	667	MHz	processor	with	1.5	GB	of	memory	and	a	minimum	
40	GB	hard	drive	standard	—	it’s	ready	and	able	to	process	your	large,	complex	print	and	scan	jobs.	
In	addition,	10/100Base-TX	Ethernet	connectivity	comes	standard	for	shared	network	printing,	and	
optional	adapters	for	10Base2,	10Base5,	802.11b	wireless	Ethernet,	and	USB	ensure	you	can	connect	
the	 WorkCentre	7346	multifunction	printer	to	your	company’s	specific	needs.	
	 	 The	WorkCentre	7346	multifunction	printer	is	easy	on	your	network	as	well.	 With	RAM	collation,	
files	are	sent	over	the	network	just	once	no	matter	how	many	sets	are	printed.	Job	pipelining	allows	
the	MFP 	to	process	print	jobs	even	if	the	print	engine	is	busy	with	an	earlier	print	job	—	thus	opti -
mizing	system	performance	by	avoiding	delays	during	job	processing.
  IMAGE Qu AlIT Y
	 	 With	600	x	600	dpi	copy	resolution	and	1200	x	1200	dpi	print	resolution,	the	 WorkCentre	7346	
multifunction	printer	generates	high-quality	copies	and	prints	with	crisp	text	and	images.	 The	Work-
Centre	7346	multifunction	printer	utilizes	a	number	of	advanced	imaging	technologies	to	deliver	fast,	
reliable,	high-quality	output,	including:
	 	 •		 Xerox	Emulsion	 Aggregate	(EA)	toner	—	this	chemically	grown	toner	technology	features	
smaller, 	more 	uniformly 	sized 	particles 	for 	excellent 	shadow 	detail, 	vibrant 	colors, 	consistent	
color	accuracy,	and	crisp	fine-line	detail.	
	 	 •		 Trickle	Charge	Development	—	a	Xerox-exclusive	technology	that	maintains	print	  
consistency	throughout	the	workday	by	feeding	a	mixture	of	developer	and	toner	to	the	  
print	engine,	helping	avoid	eleventh-hour	print-quality	issues.
	 	 •		 Intermediate	Belt	 Transfer	with	Micro	 Tandem	Engine	—	provides	the	speed	and	efficiency	
of	single-pass	color	with	consistent	image	transfers,	fewer	paper	jams,	and	increased	uptime.
	 	 •		 Belt	Nip	Fusing	—	instead	of	conventional	roller-to-roller	contact,	Belt	Nip	Fusing	uses	
a	flexible	surface	contact	area	that	allows	toner	to	better	adhere	to	the	media,	delivering	
improved	image	transfer	and	registration.
	 	 Xerox	also	delivers	multiple	page	description	languages	(PDLs)	to	ensure	your	printed	output	meets	
your	high	expectations,	with	 Adobe
®	PostScript® 3™,	XPS®,	emulations	for	PCL®	5c,	PCL	6	and	HP-GL2™.

EVALUATE PRODUCTIVITY (CONTINUED)
 CONC urr ENCY
	 	
The	WorkCentre	7346	multifunction	printer’s	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	completed.
  MONITO rING S YSTEM S TATuS
	 	 With	the	 WorkCentre	7346	multifunction	printer,	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	inte -
grated	job	queue	with	a	few	mouse-clicks	or	button	pushes.
EVALUATE INSTALLATION AND DEPLOYMENT           
Installing and deploying	a	fleet	of	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 infra-
structure.	 You	also	need	to	consider	the	process	required	to	 deploy printing and scanning services to 
your	users,	and	how	automated	that	process	can	be.
  INSTA llATION
	 	 When	you	choose	Xerox,	you	can	rest	assured	that	your	equipment	will	be	delivered	and	installed	to	
your	specifications	and	expectations.	 All	network-enabled	configurations	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,	including	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.
  dEP lOYMENT
	 	 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,	free -
ing	up	your	IT 	staff	for	more	pressing	projects.	Driver	support	is	delivered	for	 Windows	(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.

							EVALUATE EASE OF USE AND MANAGEMENT
Look	for	fully integrated functions	that	work	together	to	create	more	value	than	the	sum	of	their	parts.	
Are	the	functions	easy to learn?	Is	the	user	interface	 consistent	from	function	to	function?	Do	the	network	
features	give	you	full	access	to	the	power	of	your	network?	Does	the	device	include	 additional software 
to	take	full	advantage	of	your	digital	documents?	Is	the	device	easy	for	your	IT 	organization	to	manage as 
part of its infrastructure?	
  FrONT PANEl uSEr INTErFACE
	 	It	doesn’t	matter	if	your	job	is	simple	or	complex	—	 the	front	panel	user	interface	(UI)	is	easy	to	learn	and	
offers	quick	job	programming.	The	WorkCentre	7346	
multifunction	printer	utilizes	an	8.1-inch	color	touch-
screen	UI	that	enables	total	control	of	copy,	scan	and	fax	
functions.	The	touch-screen	UI	is	intuitively	organized,	
with	the	most	commonly	accessed	features	on	the	default	
screen	and	tab-based	access	to	advanced	programming	
features.	A	selection	of	buttons	accompanies	the	touch-panel	UI	for	inputting	and	numbers,	accessing	
management	features,	and	executing	jobs	(with	the	familiar	green	Start	button).	Third-party	applica-
tions	can	be	integrated	with	the	front	panel	UI	as	well	(for	more	information,	see	Extensible	Interface	
Platform	on	page	13).	Whether	you’ve	used	a	Xerox	copier/printer	or	multifunction	printer	in	the	
past	or	not,	you	will	fi	nd	the	WorkCentre	7346	multifunction	printer	a	pleasure	to	use.
  bIdIrECTIONAl drIvErS
	 	The	WorkCentre	7346	multifunction	printer	utilizes	CentreWare	print	drivers	to	provide	an	easy,	 intuitive	way	to	program	jobs	and	get	updated	system	status	information.	Like	the	front-panel	touch-
screen	UI,	the	print	drivers	are	intuitively	organized	by	tabs.	The	most	commonly	used	features	
are	located	on	the	default	tab,	with	advanced	features	easily	accessible	when	programming	more	
complex	jobs.	The	print	drivers	also	provide	bidirectional	information	like	system	status,	job	status,	
currently	loaded	paper	sizes,	installed	options	and	more.
  NETWOrK MANAGEMENT
	 	It	couldn’t	be	easier	for	the	network	administrator:	The	WorkCentre	7346	multifunction	printer	 integrates	into	virtually	any	network	environment.	Network	confi	guration	is	made	simple	with	Cen-
treWare	Web	confi	guration	wizards,	which	eliminates	the	need	for	your	IT	staff	to	perform	tasks	at	
the	front	panel	of	each	device	on	your	network.	The	WorkCentre	7346	multifunction	printer	includes	
support	for	multiple	native	network	environments,	including	TCP/IP,	IPv4/IPv6,	SNMP,	SMB,	Novel	
IPX,	AppleTalk	and	IPP.
  XErOX CENTrEWArE SOFTWArE
		 	Xerox	CentreWare	Web	(CWW)	software	is	a	powerful	device-management	solution	for	IT	departments.	 CWW	is	free	software	that	eases	the	chore	of	installing,	confi	guration,	managing,	monitoring	and	
pulling	reports	from	the	networked	printers	and	multifunction	printers	throughout	your	enterprise	—	
regardless	of	vendor.	Xerox	also	addresses	enterprise	asset	management	through	compatibility	with	
network	management	tools	for	Sun,	Novell,	Microsoft	and	other	environments.

XErOX CENTrEWArE SOFTWArE (CONTINuEd)
	The	WorkCentre	7346	multifunction	printer	also	includes	CentreWare	Internet	
Services	(CWIS),	an	embedded	web	server	that	allows	employees	and	IT	person-
nel	to	perform	detailed	status	checks	on	the	system	and	consumables,	administer	
system	settings,	and	manage	access	and	accounting	controls	via	any	standard	
web	browser.

	 	Xerox	offers	SMart	eSolutions,	an	application	for	automating	and	simplifying	device	management	and	 ownership.	The	two	SMart	eSolutions	applications,	MeterAssistant	and	SuppliesAssistant,	automate	
the	process	of	reporting	MFP	usage	data	to	Xerox	and	ordering	replacement	supplies	when	toner	
levels	run	low.
	 	 •		MeterAssistant
™	—	automatically	collects	and	securely	submits	your	device	meter	reads	to	
Xerox	using	a	built-in	audit	process	to	increase	billing	accuracy
	 	 •		SuppliesAssistant
™	—	proactively	manages	toner	supplies	and	monitors	usage	to	ensure	you	
have	the	right	supplies	at	the	right	time

	 	Lastly,	Xerox	offers	a	set	of	services	for	managing	document	output	and	asset	infrastructure	in	offi	ces.	 These	services	deliver	measurable	business	results	by	leveraging	a	powerful	set	of	offi 	ce	technologies,	
business	processes,	methodologies	and	software	tools	to	reduce	costs	and	improve	productivity .	
These	offerings	are	summarized	in	Section	3	of	this	guide.
EVALUATE RELIABILITY 
Offi	ce	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 arrange	and	how	
long	do	you	have	to	wait?	Is	the	device	a	 reliable network citizen?	Has	it	been	tested and certifi ed	by	
independent	industry	participants?

	 	Reliability	comes	in	two	forms:	system	reliability	and	image	reliability.	The	WorkCentre	7346	multi- function	printer	has	been	designed	to	provide	maximum	system	reliability	and	uptime:	Simple	paper	
paths	and	a	minimum	of	moving	parts	help	optimize	day-to-day	reliability	and	contribute	to	a	monthly	
duty	cycle	of	up	to	150,000	pages.	Any	paper	jams	or	misfeeds	are	cleared	through	access	doors	on	the	
front	of	the	machine,	enabling	your	employees	to	proactively	resolve	most	issues	and	limit	calls	to	your	
help	desk.	The	WorkCentre	7346	multifunction	printer	also	minimizes	user	interventions	for	loading	
paper	—	it	has	maximum	capacities	of	2,180	sheets	or	3,140	sheets.	Xerox	SMart	Kit
TM	technology	
also	helps	minimize	downtime	by	predicting	when	critical	parts	will	fail	and	alerting	you	to	order	
replacement	units.	SMart	Kit	replaceable	units	are	as	simple	and	easy	to	replace	as	toner	cartridges.	
Furthermore,	if	a	WorkCentre	7346	multifunction	printer	MFP	does	experience	an	interruption	in	ser-
vice,	CentreWare	alerts	can	be	confi	gured	to	inform	IT	staff.
