Section 2: Evaluating Color Multifunction Printers
Productivity
True workplace productivity happens when office technology allows you more
time to focus on your real work.
require significant effort become automated; when, at the push of a button, business-
critical documents are shared with any number of pre-assigned recipients; and when
your multifunction printer does most of the heavy lifting automatically, behind the
scenes, that's when true office productivity kicks into gear.

8700 Exceeds the Productivity
Requirement
Management, Deployment and Remote
Installation.
Installing and deploying a fleet of multifunction
printers throughout your organization is a
potentially time-consuming, complicated task.
The process isn't limited to physically placing
the units in their new environments, but also
includes integrating the devices with the
existing network infrastructure. Also, consider
the process required to deploy printing and
scanning services to your users and how
automated that process can be.
• Configure once, apply fleet wide. Xerox
multifunction device configurations can
be cloned and distributed to all similar
multifunction devices on your network,
eliminating the need to configure and
manage each device individually.
• Installation. When you choose Xerox, you
can rest assured that your equipment will be
delivered and installed into your environment
to your specifications and expectations. All
network-enabled configurations include an
embedded 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet
connection with innovative features like
auto IP addressing, device naming, and
When everyday workflow processes that used to
Ethernet speed sensing to provide simple and
®
automatic installation on networks. These
features make the ColorQube 8700 quick and
easy to get up and running. Management
and system setup can be accomplished
through a variety of means, including the
easy, wizard-based process found within
Xerox
CentreWare

the ColorQube 8700 can integrate with
third-party management applications like
Unicentre
Microsoft
WebJetAdmin
fleets of devices to be installed with identical
settings, eliminating the need to set up each
system individually.
• Deployment. With the ColorQube 8700, print
®
and scan drivers can be deployed centrally,
thereby eliminating the need for IT staff to
perform desk-to-desk manual installation of
the driver software. In many cases, existing
Xerox
drivers on your network can work with
®
your new hardware, potentially saving the
step of updating your users' driver software
altogether. Again, wizards are provided
within CentreWare Web to aid in installing,
troubleshooting, and upgrading your users'
driver software, freeing up your IT staff for
more pressing projects.
