Section 1: Evaluating Workgroup Multifunction Printers
Evaluate Ease of Use and Management
Look for fully integrated functions that work together to create more value
than the sum of their parts.
consistent from function to function? Do the network features give users full access
to the power of your network? Does the device include additional software to take
full advantage of digital documents? Is the device easy for your IT organization to
manage as part of its infrastructure?
How the WorkCentre 5700
Series exceeds the ease of use
requirement:
Front panel user interface
It doesn't matter if a job is simple or complex
— the new front panel user interface (UI) on
WorkCentre 5700 Series devices is easy to learn
and offers quick job programming. It features
touch-screen functionality with bright icons and
intuitive organization, with the most commonly
accessed features on the home screen and easy
access to advanced programming features. A
selection of buttons accompanies the touch-
panel UI for manual command and numbers
inputs, management features access, and job
execution (with the familiar green Start button).
Third-party applications can be integrated with
the front panel UI as well. Regardless of whether
you've used a Xerox
multifunction printer in
®
the past, you will find WorkCentre 5700 Series
devices a pleasure to use.
On-board documentation
The front panel user interface on the WorkCentre
5700 Series pulls from the on-board user docu-
mentation to deliver a wealth of helpful informa-
tion — such as how to send a scan via email.
Bidirectional print drivers
The WorkCentre 5700 Series utilizes CentreWare
print drivers to provide an easy, intuitive method
of programming jobs and receiving updated
system status information. Like the front-panel
touch-screen UI, the print drivers are intuitively
organized by tabs. The most commonly used
features are located on the default tab, with
advanced features easily accessible when pro-
gramming more complex jobs. The print drivers
also provide bidirectional information like system

status, job status, currently loaded paper sizes,
installed options and more.
How the WorkCentre 5700 Series
exceeds the ease of management
requirement:
Network management
It couldn't be easier for a network administra-
tor: WorkCentre 5700 Series devices integrate
into virtually any network environment. Network
configuration is made simple with CentreWare
Web configuration wizards, which eliminate the
need for IT staff to perform tasks at the front
panel of each networked device. WorkCentre
5700 Series devices include support for multiple
native network environments, including TCP/IP,
IPv6, SNMP, SMB, Novel IPX, AppleTalk and IPP.
