Evaluating Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
and Cost/Value Benefits
Consider how a printer or multifunction printer can help you reduce costs.
Affordability is a big consideration when
choosing a printer or multifunction printer.
Is the product priced competitively with
comparable products? How does a multi-
function printer compare with purchasing
multiple stand-alone devices?
When evaluating a printer or multifunction
printer, remember that the total cost includes
several factors besides the initial purchase
price, including the cost of supplies. Are
supply costs competitive? Does the vendor
provide fact-based tools and methods to help
you assess current TCO?
With Xerox
printers and multifunction
®
printers, you can add color capabilities to
your office for a surprisingly low overall cost.
Low cost per page
Laser printers and multifunction printers are
good choices for fast-paced businesses on
a budget. Once ink costs are taken into con-
sideration, inkjet printers, initially perceived
as being low cost, often turn out to have a
higher TCO than the higher performing
laser devices.

Xerox Phaser and WorkCentre Small-Business-Class Color Printers and Multifunction Printers Evaluator Guide
Having a choice between high-capacity and
low-capacity cartridges can help you man-
age your budget. Choose high-capacity for
cost savings and nonstop printing. Choose
standard capacity at a lower price, if printing
loads are lighter.
Reduce toner costs by taking advantage of
cost-saving features like toner-saver mode.
Run Black feature allows you to print color
documents in black when a color cartridge
is empty.
The cost of space

desktop while smaller toner cartridges with
minimal packaging use less precious office
storage space. A multifunction printer can
add new capabilities to your business and
consolidate several office products (along
with their supplies) into one.

Consolidate and save
Multifunction printers are useful assets to
help manage and control costs by eliminat-
ing some of the need for hard copy docu-
ments. You can avoid printing altogether
with such features as fax forward to email
and by saving scanned files directly to a USB
memory drive for easy portability.
Reliability and ease of use
TCO can increase significantly for devices
that are hard to use and maintain, unreli-
able, or lack the features and capabilities to
efficiently and effectively produce the results
you need. Phaser and WorkCentre printers
and multifunction printers are known for their
ease of use and full-featured functionality.
