Section 1: Evaluating Multifunction PrintersProductivityIn addition to actual print engine speed, consider the factors that affectoverall throughput. Are the device’s scanning and faxing features powerful enoughto support the demands of your busiest departments? Is the device appropriatelysized for the entire workgroup? Can important features be used simultaneously, or areemployees forced to wait for the device to become “free”? Is the system designed tominimize network traffic? Can device functions be monitored from users’ desktopsand/or at the device?How the WorkCentre 5300 seriesmultifunction printer exceedsthe productivity requirement:SpeedThe WorkCentre 5300 series delivers outputspeeds up to 25/30/35 ppm. Document handlingspeed is notable as well, with a 110-sheet duplexautomatic document feeder (DADF) that scanscolor and black-and-white documents at 55images per minute. With first-copy-out times asfast as 4 seconds, users won’t have to wait longfor their jobs to get started, either.Network performancePerformance isn’t limited to raw documentfeeds and speeds. The WorkCentre 5300series multifunction printer features a highperformance processor plus 1 GB of memoryand an 160 GB hard drive, delivering thenecessary horsepower to process your large,complex jobs.
