Section 2: Evaluating Black-and-White Laser Printers

Overview

A workgroup printer is a resource typically shared by up to 25 networked users on

a regular basis. Because it is common for a network to include multiple computer

platforms, such as any of the various versions of Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, Unix,

or Linux, and because a network printer is relied upon by multiple users, it is recom-

mended that the following criteria be used when evaluating which printer to purchase

for your office:

Deployment, Management

and Ease of Use

Is the printer simple for your IT staff to deploy

and manage, and will it be easy for your

employees to use?

Productivity

Can the printer keep up with the demands of

your daily and monthly print volumes?

Reliability

Is the printer robust enough to handle your

workload, and is it backed by quality service?

This section examines each of the above evalua-

tion criteria in greater detail, covering the specific

features and performance attributes you should

look for in a high-volume black-and-white laser

printer. When the same criteria are used to

evaluate every device under consideration, you'll

see how the Phaser

5550 laser printer excels

against other manufacturers' products.
