Section 2: Evaluating Colour Printers
Evaluating Ease-of-Use
When you purchase and deploy printers and multifunction printers into your
environment, ease-of-use is a critical factor in how well your employees adapt to
the new device. How easy will it be for your employees to load supplies and keep
the device running? Look for features that contribute to reliability and availability.
Lastly, the user interfaces need to be well designed to help your employees
maximise productivity.
No-fuss drop-in loading.
Xerox solid ink sticks are engineered for
maximum ease of use. Each colour has
a unique shape, making it impossible
to misload. Solid ink can be replenished
before the device runs out so there's no
device downtime when replacing ink.

How the Phaser 8860/
Phaser 8860MFP exceeds the
ease-of-use requirement:
Consumable Supplies
It doesn't get any easier than solid
ink. Like loading a stapler, simply open
the printer and drop the ink into its
corresponding slot. The inks are keyed to
avoid loading into the wrong slot, and the
cartridge-free design allows the inks to be
topped off before the printer runs empty,
without any workfl ow interruption. Solid
ink sticks are safe to handle and spill free
– there is nothing to smudge your clothes.
