Section 1: Evaluating Workgroup
Color Multifunction Printers
Productivity
In addition to actual print engine speed, consider the factors that affect overall
throughput.
Does the device 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
®
9301/9302/9303 exceeds
the productivity requirement:
Image quality
Xerox-exclusive Solid Ink produces outstanding
color print quality, with natural vibrancy,
glossiness and consistency on virtually any
media, including recycled paper. The ColorQube
9300 series multifunction printer delivers
600 x 600 dpi resolution in High Resolution/
Photo mode for exceptionally detailed text and
images.
Plus, true Adobe
PostScript
®
®
XPS give you the power to print visually rich
documents reliably.
Speed
The productivity of the ColorQube 9300 series
multifunction printer starts with default mode
copy and print speeds of up to 50/55/60 ppm
black-and-white and 38/45/55 ppm color
depending on model. Extra print productivity
can be achieved for internal use or short life
documents in Fast Color mode with the ability
to print up to 85 ppm black-and-white and
60/70/85 ppm color depending on model.
Your choice of fast output speeds ensures the
right fit for a wide array of office environments
and workgroups. Plus, with first-page-out-times
ranging from as fast as 7.2 seconds, users won't
have to wait long for their jobs to get started,
either.
Network performance
Performance isn't limited to raw document
feeds and speeds. Every ColorQube
9301/9302/9303 multifunction printer easily
handles large, complex print and scan jobs
thanks to the device's high-performance 1.5
GHz processor and 160 GB hard drive.
In addition, the network controller in the
ColorQube 9300 series delivers Ethernet
connection speeds of up to 1 Gigabit, which
triples the speed of standard 10/100Base-T
Ethernet connections. This increased
performance eliminates network bottlenecks
3™, PCL
and
®
and drastically improves the speed at which
jobs reach your ColorQube 9300 series device.
The ColorQube 9301/9302/9303 devices
are 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 MFP 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.
File compression
The ColorQube 9300 series device lets you
access scanned documents faster, with
advanced file compression techniques that
dramatically shrink file sizes, reduce storage
space requirements and cut down on your
network's document traffic.
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 9301/9302/9303 devices,
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.
