This information protects you against investing in copiers that do not meet all your needs, applications or expectations
Before you start comparing copiers you need to first understand what you need the copier to do for you and your end users. Beyond printing and copying, how do you want to use the copier?
- How many copy, print, scan, fax and email jobs will the copier be asked to run each day? Are there peak usage periods when jobs might conflict with one another?
- How many users will each copier support?
- What is the total monthly volume of output? If there are peak usage periods, how much is printed/copied then?
- Do you need robust document finishing options from the desktop?
- Do you need to offer, as well as control, both black-and white and color printing?
There are a number of requirements to consider. Our On-Line Needs Assessment can help you further define your requirements.
Compare Copiers Total Cost of Ownership
When comparing office copiers and color copiers, beware of looking only at the cost of the initial hardware. There are a number of other factors to review, including the cost of service and supplies. Once service supply costs are taken into consideration, some office copiers and color copiers often turn out to have an equivalent or higher TCO than the other higher performing office copiers and color copiers.
- Is the product priced competitively with comparable office copier printer devices
- are service supply costs competitive?
- does service require you commit to certain volume levels?
Compare Copiers Reliability - Third Party Evaluations
Compare each devices actual
performance issues using
reports from independent testing agencies. Be sure to also
test and validate performance with your own applications
and network environment.
- How many mis-feeds during testing
- How efficient is network printing of basic jobs vs. rated engine speed?
- Does the device optimize scanning file compressions to reduce network traffic?
- Compare the data on spec sheets and compare actual performance using reports from independent testing agencies.
- Be sure to also test and validate performance with your own applications and network environment.
Compare Copiers Ease Of Use
Ease of use for end users means less calls to the help desk,
and fewer IT resources for training and problem management.
Usability should be paramount, and without compromise.
- Are the software application user interfaces intuitive?
- How much training is required for a user to become functional?
- Are online help and documentation available and easy to use?
- Does the product work the same way whether you’re copying, printing, scanning or faxing?
- Does the product work the same way from the desktop as from the walkup console?
- Is context-sensitive help accessible directly from the device’s walk-up user interface?
Compare Copiers Network Integration
Consider how easy the system is to plug into an existing
network, and whether it is easy to deploy and will provide
immediate benefits with little start-up training
- Are the print drivers for all devices provided and installed from a common CD with always the most current drivers downloadable from the web?
- Does the office copier printer system provide an open architecture for integration with a wide variety of document management systems?
- Will it play well with current desktop applications, standards, and document repositories in place?
- Does the scanner emit industry standard file formats, such as PDF (including searchable PDF), TIFF, and JPEG?
- Does the office copier printer system support common network user authorization, authentication schemes and common directory protocols, such as LDAP?
Compare Copiers Multitasking Capabilities
Take a close look at the system’s ability to truly multifunction
efficiently and concurrently for each of the services (print,
copy, scan, fax) and assess real performance and productivity
in actual use situations.
- Can users access the function they need at any time, even if other functions are already in use?
- Does the solution provide benchmark performance for all individual functions and services, and allow them to work concurrently without performance degradation?
- Does the product have an embedded server (vs. basic network interface)?
- Does the product let you copy, print and get machine status from the Web?
- Does the product have the ability to support multiple protocol stacks?
Compare Copiers Bi-directional Communications
A failure to communicate timely and accurate information
to users and IT administrators on the status of jobs, queues,
and devices will result in more intervention by IT staff to
solve, prevent or anticipate problems. Solid bi-directional
communications both at the device, and across the network
is essential.
- • Does it provide job and device status from the desktop?
• Does the product provide viewing of all job queues (print, scan, e-mail, copy, and fax) at the device?
• Does it provide alerts to dispatch staff when problems occur?
• Does it provide sufficient information, tools, and controls to anticipate problems, reduce machine downtime, minimize user frustration, and reduce calls
