EVALUATE EASE OF USE When evaluating colour printers, it is important to think about ease of use from a variety of angles. Are the printer and print driver simple for your employees to learn, and do they help users solve issues and avoid downtime? Does the printer include features that eliminate interruptions? Are consumables easy to locate and replace? Is automated support offered to minimise calls to your help desk or to customer support? HOW THE PHASER 8560 EXCEEDS THE EASE-OF-USE REQUIREMENT

EVALUATE MANAGEMENT The ongoing management of colour printers is another fundamental consideration. Are tools provided for managing printer settings, checking printer status, and assisting with troubleshooting? Can you run detailed reports on printer usage and costs?
