Xerox's latest colour multifunction printer (MFP), the WorkCentre 7346, features print speeds of up to 40 pages per minute (ppm) in colour and 45ppm in monochrome, a 667MHz processor, 1.5GB of memory, and a 40GB hard drive.
The net result is that when office workers send files loaded with images, from spreadsheets to graphic-rich presentations, to the printer, colleagues will not be left standing in a queue.
While documents with complex images traditionally slow down print jobs, the optional new Electronics For Imaging (EFI) Fiery print server for the WorkCentre 7300 series speeds up the process. This makes the WorkCentre 7346 and print server combination suited for offices that need to print a variety of files, such as marketing and publishing groups. In addition, the EFI Fiery print server provides easy-to-use colour management controls for ensuring colour accuracy.
"Offices of any size thrive on speed," says Warren Lock, product manager, Office Systems Group at Bytes Document Solutions, distributor of Xerox products and solutions to 24 African countries. "At the same time, they demand quality and affordable technology. It's a tall order that the WorkCentre 7346 fulfils. This system is designed to cut down the print queue so that employees can send a file to the printer, grab and go. The WorkCentre 7346 is also equipped with tools such as Auditron and Xerox Standard Accounting, which regulate and track colour usage, giving users the ability to manage costs by choosing when, where and how much colour they need.
Protect sensitive data
The security features of the WorkCentre 7346 protect sensitive data at all points of vulnerability, from the device, hard drive and network, to the document itself. An audit log tracks the date and user of every job the device processes. Users can also be sure that documents remain confidential with Secure Print, a feature that allows users to enter a pin at the device before printing begins. The WorkCentre 7346 is enabled with Xerox's Extensible Interface Platform (EIP), a technology inside many Xerox MFPs. Based on Web standards, EIP allows independent software vendors and developers to easily create applications for multifunction systems that simplify document-based work processes, such as forms registration, and customise the touch screen for personalised workflows for individuals and workgroups.
