Evaluation Criteria
As the company that invented laser printing, Ethernet networking, and the first digital
Multifunction Product (MFP), Xerox has invested years of research and development in
designing the most productive office devices in the industry. This experience has positioned
Xerox as the recognized leader in office MFP design and performance. Based on our in-depth
understanding of customer needs in the office, Xerox recommends the following criteria be
considered in the evaluation process of a shared MFP:
Productivity
Can it keep up with the demands of a multiple user environment?
Deployment
How does the MFP ease the demands of the deployment process?
Ease of Use and Management
Are all the capabilities integrated and intuitive?
Reliability
Is it designed and build for demanding use and backed by a quality organization?
Versatility
Can the MFP grow with changing demands?
Finishing
Can the MFP provide the distribution ready documents that you require?
Security
Is the MFP able to keep your confidential information safe?
Cost Control
Can you monitor and control your organizations cost of printing?
MFPs often look the same from the outside. And from a quick look at specifications on speeds,
feeds, and print resolution, you might incorrectly conclude that most MFPs are basically equal.
This section of the Evaluator Guide will suggest ways you can thoroughly evaluate them, and
