WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 Evaluator Guide 7
Evaluate Productivity
In addition to actual print engine speed, consider attributes that affect overall throughput. Are the copy, print, scan and fax features
powerful enough to support the demands of busy workgroups? Does the MFP include other capabilities to increase users’ productivity,
like expanded paper capacity and a Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) for processing originals? Does the MFP come ready
to connect to your network? Is the device appropriately sized for the entire workgroup? Does the MFP deliver the image quality users
require for high-quality business output? Does the MFP stay available for programming even while busy with other tasks? Can device
functions be monitored from a desktop and/or at the device?
Performance
The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs deliver fast output that quickly processes heavy
workloads, with speeds of up to 25 / 30 ppm. Multipage and double-sided copy, scan
and fax jobs are quickly processed with a 75-sheet DADF, which minimizes time spent
feeding originals into the device. A first-page-out time (FPOT) as fast as 4.3 seconds
means less waiting for jobs to begin.
Network Capabilities
Performance isn’t limited to raw document feeds and speeds. The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230
Printer/Copier configuration utilizes a Power PC 333 MHz network controller with 512 MB
of memory and a 40 GB hard drive; it’s built to process large, complex jobs. In addition,
10/100Base-TX Ethernet connectivity comes standard for high-speed network deployment.
The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs are network-friendly, as well. With RAM collation, files
are sent over the network just once, no matter how many sets are printed. Job pipelining
optimizes system performance by allowing the device to process print jobs even if the
print engine is busy with an earlier job.
Image Quality
With up to 600 x 600 dpi copy resolution and up to 1200 x 1200 dpi print resolution, the
WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs generate high-quality copies and prints with crisp text and
images. Plus, Xerox Emulsion Aggregation High Grade (EA-HG) toner — chemically grown
to produce smaller, more uniformly sized particles — delivers excellent shadowing and
outstanding fine-line detail.
The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs also feature multiple page description languages (PDLs),
including emulations for PCL
®
5e and PCL
®
6, and optional Adobe
®
PostScript
®
3™.
Concurrency
The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs’ network controller helps prevent device bottlenecks. Scan
and fax jobs can be programmed and executed without waiting for the print engine to
become available, while newly programmed copy jobs will join the job queue and be executed
when earlier jobs are completed. By keeping the front panel available for programming while the
print engine is busy, users can stay productive and avoid idle time waiting for the MFP.
Monitoring System Status
With the WorkCentre 5225 / 5230, up-to-date information on every processed job —
print, copy, scan, email or fax — plus in-depth device information, is always at users’
fingertips. Whether at the device or from a desktop, documents and jobs can be managed
through an integrated job queue with a few mouse-clicks or button pushes.
