Section 2: Evaluating Workgroup Multifunction Devices
Evaluate Ease of Installation, Management and Use
Installing a multifunction device can be challenging, whether an IT staff handles deployment in a larger organization or if the MFP is
being installed in a smaller office with no IT resources. The process isn't limited to physically placing the unit in its new environment,
but also may include integration with an existing network infrastructure. Evaluate the management tools delivered with the MFP, and
whether they will ease the task of managing the device. Lastly, think about ease of use. Is the device simple to operate, and will users
quickly feel comfortable with it? Are the user interfaces, both the front panel and print driver, well designed and easy to navigate?

Ease of Installation
Easy installation starts with unpacking the MFP and ends when it's powered up,
connected to your network and ready to use. The WorkCentre 4250/4260 includes a quick
install guide that walks you through the installation of optional accessories, connecting
the MFP to a single computer or to the network, connecting to a power source and initial
start-up. Settings such as language selection and feature setup are completed either at
the MFP's intuitive front panel, or via the use of included remote management software.
Ease of Management
The WorkCentre 4250/4260 eases network management chores with Xerox
Internet Services, an embedded web server that greatly simplifies remote device
monitoring and troubleshooting; CentreWare Web for remote management of device
fleets; and built-in support for numerous third party management systems. Automatic
email alerts notify administrators or users of events that require attention, such as low
toner levels.
Plus, Xerox Standard Accounting further extends the WorkCentre 4250/4260
Multifunction Device's remote management capabilities by allowing in-depth control
over quota setting, output limits and reporting.*
Ease of Use
The WorkCentre 4250/4260 Multifunction Device's cutting-edge, 7-inch, icon-based,
full-color touch screen redefines walk-up ease-of-use. Whether printing, copying, scanning,
faxing or emailing, the bright, colorful display guides users from start to finish with large,
clear, easily recognizable icons. Once a feature is selected, the tab-based interface gives
users fast access to the most commonly-accessed features with intuitive navigation to
advanced settings. Buttons to the left of the color screen give single-click access to the
feature selection screen, the default feature screen (usually copy), job status and machine
status. Buttons to the right of the screen include an alphanumeric keypad, Log In/Out
and Help.
Similar to the local user interface, the WorkCentre 4250/4260 print drivers give quick, easy
access to the most commonly used features like two-sided printing, paper tray selection
and collation.
