Section 2: Evaluating Color Printers
Evaluating Ease-of-Use
When you purchase and deploy MFPs into your environment, ease-of-use is a critical
factor in how well your employees adapt to the new device. How easy will it be for
your employees to load supplies and keep the device running? Look for features that
contribute to reliability and availability. Lastly, the user interfaces need to be well
designed to help your employees maximize productivity.
No-fuss drop-in loading.
Xerox solid ink sticks are engineered
for maximum ease of use. Each
color has a unique shape, making it
impossible to misload. And because
solid ink can be replenished before
the device runs out, there's no device
downtime when replacing ink.
How the Phaser 8860MFP
exceeds the ease-of-use
requirement:
Consumable Supplies
It doesn't get any easier than solid ink. Like
loading a stapler, simply open the printer
and drop the ink into its corresponding slot.
The inks are keyed to avoid loading into the
wrong slot, and the cartridge-free design
allows the inks to be topped off before the
printer runs empty, without any workflow
interruption. Solid ink sticks are safe to
handle and spill free — there is nothing to
smudge your clothes.
Reliability Features
The Phaser 8860MFP includes a variety of
features that help maximize the availability
and reliability of the device, ensuring you
won't have to wait for the MFP to get your
