Xerox Phaser 3100MFP Evaluator Guide 5

Section 2: Evaluating Multifunction Printers

Overview

Based on continuous study of our customers’ productivity requirements, Xerox recommends that the following

criteria be used when evaluating which black-and-white laser MFP to purchase for your ofﬁce.

Ease of Installation, Management, and Use

Does the MFP offer an installation process simple enough for nontechnical users? Does it

include helpful tools that simplify day-to-day management? How does the MFP ease the

demands of daily use?

Productivity

Can the MFP keep up with the demands of your daily and monthly workloads?

Versatility

Does the MFP deliver the range of capabilities your ofﬁce requires?

This section examines each of the above evaluation criteria in greater detail, covering

the speciﬁc features and performance attributes you should look for in a black-and-white

MFP. When the same criteria are used to evaluate every device under consideration, you’ll

see how the Phaser 3100MFP excels against other manufacturers’ products.

6 Xerox Phaser 3100MFP Evaluator Guide

Evaluate Ease of Installation, Management, and Use

Most small-ofﬁce environments don’t have IT resources on staff, so ofﬁce equipment must be simple and easy to install. Is ongoing

MFP management eased by tools provided by the vendor? In small ofﬁces, ease of use is a critical attribute of the equipment you

deploy — the MFP must be easy to learn and use, with simple user interfaces that help employees access features, program jobs, and

stay focused on producing great work.

Ease of Installation

Fast, Simple Setup

Easy installation starts with unpacking the device and ends when it’s powered up and

ready for use. The Phaser 3100MFP is easily removed from its packaging and, at just over

25 pounds, can be safely placed in the ofﬁce by almost anyone. It’s also small enough to

ﬁt on a desk or into any space-constrained ofﬁce. The included quick install guide helps

the user install optional accessories, connect the printer to the computer and a power

source, and power-up the device. Settings such as language selection and feature setup

are completed at the Phaser 3100MFP’s intuitive front-panel user interface.

Easy Driver Deployment

Xerox includes an installation CD that features an easy, wizard-based driver-installation

process. If preferred, print and scan drivers can also be easily downloaded from the

Xerox website.

Xerox Ofﬁce Services

Lastly, Xerox offers a host of productivity-enhancement services for managing an ofﬁce’s

document output and asset infrastructure. These services deliver measurable business

results by leveraging a powerful set of ofﬁce technologies, business processes, method-

ologies and software tools to reduce costs and improve productivity. These offerings are

summarized in Section 3 of this guide.

Ease of Management

The Phaser 3100MFP includes Companion Pro device management software, which helps

you manage your scan, print and fax settings, and phonebook, and enables you to update

the system ﬁrmware.

Also, whether at your desk or at the device’s front panel, current information is avail-

able on every job the MFP processes as well as in-depth device status. See the list of jobs

currently in the print queue, how many faxes have been sent that day, paper status, and

total-page-output counts via the Phaser 3100MFP print driver or the device’s front panel.

The included Companion Pro device

management software keeps track of

the Phaser 3100MFP’s consumable

levels.

Xerox Phaser 3100MFP Evaluator Guide 7

Also, consider consumables. The Phaser 3100MFP features an integrated print cartridge

that minimizes the number of consumables you’ll need to change.

You have two options when purchasing print cartridges for the Phaser 3100MFP:

Standard-capacity print cartridge — lower-cost cartridge for price-sensitive ofﬁces,

with a 2,200-page capacity*

High-capacity print cartridge — maximizes the time between consumables purchases,

with a 4,000-page capacity*

*Average standard pages. Declared yield in accordance with ISO/IEC 19752. Yield will vary based on image, area

coverage and print mode.

Ease of Use

The front panel interface on the Phaser 3100MFP provides simple access to copy, scan,

fax and administration features. Device functions are controlled by a selection of buttons,

including one-button access to copy, scan and fax menus, plus a full keyboard for easy

text entry. More advanced features are accessed with four navigation buttons that select

programming attributes in the two-line LCD display. Access print-quality settings, such

as contrast and resolution, and switch to economical “Toner Saver” printing at the easy

touch of a button.

For normal copy jobs that require no special settings, simply place the original on

the platen or in the ADF and press the green button — the copy is on its way in just

two steps.

Administrative features include reports, device setup settings, and device maintenance.

The Phaser 3100MFP print driver — with a clear, graphical user interface — provides an

easy, intuitive way to interact with the system.

Evaluate Productivity

When evaluating an MFP’s overall productivity, consider its level of performance — including print and copy speeds, as well as ﬁrst-

page-out time — and determine whether the device will easily handle the average print jobs (typically 3 to 5 pages long) of a busy

individual or small workgroup. Does the system offer the media ﬂexibility to support the variety of jobs you’ll ask it to perform?

Performance

The Phaser 3100MFP has the power to support either one employee or a small group

in ofﬁce environments. With print and copy output speeds up to 21 ppm, the Phaser

3100MFP makes quick work of your day-to-day workloads. Additionally, ﬁrst-page-out

times as fast as 13 seconds for printing and 8.5 seconds for copying minimize the time

spent waiting for your jobs to start. The 50-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF) on

the 3100MFP/X conﬁguration makes scanning multipage originals for copying, scanning

or faxing easy. With multiple scan destination options — including Scan to Desktop and

Scan to USB thumb drive — the Phaser 3100MFP helps you digitize documents for edit-

ing and distributing.

Media Support and Capacity

The Phaser 3100MFP supports a range of paper sizes and weights to handle the range

of your employees’ tasks. A wide range of paper sizes — from 5.6 x 5.8 in. to 8.5 x 14 in.

along with custom sizes in the single-sheet Bypass Tray — makes it easy to print a variety

of ofﬁce documents on various media types, including plain paper, envelopes, labels, card

stock and transparencies. The Main Tray supports paper weights from 16 pounds to 28

pounds; the ADF supports paper weights from 16 pounds to 24 pounds; the bypass tray

supports paper weights up to 43 pounds for heavier paper stock.

The Phaser 3100MFP also has the media capacity to avoid interruptions and keep you

productive, with a 250-sheet paper capacity to handle your day-to-day print volumes.

With black-and-white print speeds of up to 21 ppm, as well as a ﬁrst-page-out time of less

than 13 seconds, the Phaser 3100MFP provides the printing performance to support a

busy user or small workgroup. From start to ﬁnish, the average three-page ofﬁce print job

takes less than 20 seconds, letting you quickly move on to the next task. Its list of print

features includes watermarks, N-up and overlays.

The Phaser 3100MFP also comes with the ﬂexibility to function in virtually any ofﬁce

environment, with included print drivers for Microsoft, Mac and Linux.

Scan Features

The Phaser 3100MFP/X conﬁguration delivers helpful scanning features, standard, includ-

ing color scanning, scan to PC via USB connection, and scan to USB thumb drive. The

50-sheet ADF eases multipage-document scanning tasks, and up to 4800 x 4800 inter-

polated dpi resolution delivers sharp images. In addition, Nuance®PaperPort®SE 11.0

software eases the process of scanning, distributing and organizing scanned images.

Fax Features

The Phaser 3100MFP/X conﬁguration offers fax functionality that includes a 33.6 Kbps

transmission speed and M, MR, MMR and JBIG compression formats. Its feature set

includes 250 speed dial settings, 31 Mailboxes, auto redial, broadcast fax, delayed fax,

priority fax, server fax and receive to USB thumb drive. Two key fax features include:

PC Fax Send — transmits paperless faxes directly from your PC via USB;

Secure Fax Receive — keeps private faxes secure until released at the device by the

intended recipient.

•

Evaluate Versatility

When evaluating an MFP’s versatility, determine whether its feature set will not only increase your efﬁciency, but also help you con-

solidate older ofﬁce devices. Does the MFP include print and copy speeds and features needed to support your work volumes? Have

you considered the ways in which the MFP’s scanning features help streamline company workﬂows? Does your company still require

fax capabilities?
