Section 1: Evaluating Color Multifunction Printers
Productivity
In addition to actual print engine speed, consider the factors that affect overall
throughput.
Does the multifunction printer produce color print quality that exceeds
expectations? Can important features be used simultaneously, or are employees forced
to wait for the MFP to become free? Is the system designed to minimize network traffic?
Can MFP functions be monitored from users' desktops and/or at the device?
How the ColorQube
®
Multifunction Printer exceeds
the productivity requirement:
Speed
The ColorQube 8900 Multifunction Printer's
productivity starts with a color and black-and-
white print speed of up to 44 ppm. Plus, with a
first-page-out time as fast as 8.5 seconds, users
won't have to wait long for their print jobs to
get started, either.
Network performance
Performance isn't limited to raw document
feeds and speeds. Every ColorQube 8900
Multifunction Printer easily handles large,
complex print jobs thanks to the device's high-
performance 1.33 GHz processor.
The ColorQube 8900 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 printer
to process print jobs even if the print engine is
busy with an earlier print job — thus optimizing
system performance by avoiding delays during
job processing.
8900
Full range of scanning solutions
With the ColorQube 8900, users simply scan
their hard copy documents and get searchable
digital files that can be automatically shared via
email, Internet fax or network folder, or stored
on the device or any USB memory device for
true portability. And it all comes standard.
Concurrency
The ColorQube 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 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.
Application defaults
Users can save print feature defaults and
automatically apply those settings each time
they print from that application. For example,
print all presentations in color and emails in
black-and-white.
Monitoring system status
With the ColorQube 8900, up-to-date
information on every job — print, copy, scan,
email or fax, plus in-depth device information
— is always at a user's fingertips. Whether
at the device or from the desktop, users can
manage documents and jobs through an
integrated job queue with a few mouse-clicks
or button pushes.
