Xerox offers SMart eSolutions, an application for automating and simplifying device management and
ownership. The two SMart eSolutions applications, MeterAssistant and SuppliesAssistant, automate
the process of reporting MFP usage data to Xerox and ordering replacement supplies when toner
levels run low.
• MeterAssistant ™ — automatically collects and securely submits your device meter reads to
Xerox using a built-in audit process to increase billing accuracy
• SuppliesAssistant ™ — proactively manages toner supplies and monitors usage to ensure you
have the right supplies at the right time

Lastly, Xerox offers a set of services for managing document output and asset infrastructure in offi ces.
These services deliver measurable business results by leveraging a powerful set of offi ce technologies,
business processes, methodologies and software tools to reduce costs and improve productivity.
These offerings are summarized in Section 3 of this guide.
EVALUATE RELIABILITY
Offi ce productivity relies on tools that do their jobs day in and day out. Consider how often you need to
intervene to replace paper or other consumables or to clear jams. How easy is that intervention, and how
long is the device typically down? If outside assistance is required, how easy is it to arrange and how
long do you have to wait? Is the device a reliable network citizen? Has it been tested and certifi ed by
independent industry participants?

Reliability comes in two forms: system reliability and image reliability. The WorkCentre 7346 multi-
function printer has been designed to provide maximum system reliability and uptime: Simple paper
paths and a minimum of moving parts help optimize day-to-day reliability and contribute to a monthly
duty cycle of up to 150,000 pages. Any paper jams or misfeeds are cleared through access doors on the
front of the machine, enabling your employees to proactively resolve most issues and limit calls to your
help desk. The WorkCentre 7346 multifunction printer also minimizes user interventions for loading
paper — it has maximum capacities of 2,180 sheets or 3,140 sheets. Xerox SMart Kit TM technology
also helps minimize downtime by predicting when critical parts will fail and alerting you to order
replacement units. SMart Kit replaceable units are as simple and easy to replace as toner cartridges.
Furthermore, if a WorkCentre 7346 multifunction printer MFP does experience an interruption in ser-
vice, CentreWare alerts can be confi gured to inform IT staff.
