EVALUATE PRINTING PERFORMANCE High quality color printing cannot come at the expense of productivity — the two must go together. A color printer must be able to handle a wide variety of documents quickly and reliably. A color printer must keep up with the performance demands of a shared network environment. Measure overall performance. To accurately measure overall performance in a real workgroup environment, send a mix of black-and-white and color documents of different length and complexity to

EVALUATE EASE OF USE The best way to evaluate a printer’s ease of use is to use it in a real environment over an extended period of time. But even without that opportunity, the following questions can help uncover a printer’s true start-up and day-to-day productivity potential: How easy is it to install on the network? How easy is it to learn to use and manage? Does it offer easy control both over the network and from its front panel? How easy is it to replace consumables? Is it difficult to ac

The Use Walk-Up Technology selection is the default, and is recommended for network printers. Simply click Next and the program directs you to go to the printer you want to install and select Use Walk-Up Technology from the front panel. From that point, the installation proceeds automatically and the printer prints an installation confirmation page. Back at your computer you are asked to register your printer either now or later. That’s it. All automatic. The easiest network printer installatio

EVALUATE WORKGROUP SHARING No matter how powerful and easy-to-use a printer is, it must also be considered a shared resource in today’s busy business environment. Consider the network capabilities and network installation process. Is an IT specialist required to get the printer up and running on the network? Consider processing power, memory and print speed. Does the printer have sufficient power to process and store multiple jobs simultaneously? Consider capacities. Does the printer have lar

Inside a Single-Pass Laser How it Works To create a four-color image in a single pass, four laser beams representing each of the four color separations charge their respective imaging drums. The drums are then developed with toner. The Yellow and Magenta drums transfer their images simultaneously to an intermediate transfer roller. The Cyan and Black drums are simultaneously transferring their images to a different intermediate transfer roller. The Yellow/Magenta and Cyan/Black color toner imag
