WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 Evaluator Guide 7Evaluate ProductivityIn addition to actual print engine speed, consider attributes that affect overall throughput. Are the copy, print, scan and fax featurespowerful 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 readyto connect to your network? Is the device appropriately sized for the entire workgroup? Does the MFP deliver the image quality usersrequire for high-quality business output? Does the MFP stay available for programming even while busy with other tasks? Can devicefunctions be monitored from a desktop and/or at the device?PerformanceThe WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs deliver fast output that quickly processes heavyworkloads, with speeds of up to 25 / 30 ppm. Multipage and double-sided copy, scanand fax jobs are quickly processed with a 75-sheet DADF, which minimizes time spentfeeding originals into the device. A first-page-out time (FPOT) as fast as 4.3 secondsmeans less waiting for jobs to begin.Network CapabilitiesPerformance isn’t limited to raw document feeds and speeds. The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230Printer/Copier configuration utilizes a Power PC 333 MHz network controller with 512 MBof 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, filesare sent over the network just once, no matter how many sets are printed. Job pipeliningoptimizes system performance by allowing the device to process print jobs even if theprint engine is busy with an earlier job.Image QualityWith up to 600 x 600 dpi copy resolution and up to 1200 x 1200 dpi print resolution, theWorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs generate high-quality copies and prints with crisp text andimages. Plus, Xerox Emulsion Aggregation High Grade (EA-HG) toner — chemically grownto produce smaller, more uniformly sized particles — delivers excellent shadowing andoutstanding fine-line detail.The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs also feature multiple page description languages (PDLs),including emulations for PCL® 5e and PCL® 6, HP-GL2 and optional Adobe® PostScript® 3™.ConcurrencyThe WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs’ network controller helps prevent device bottlenecks. Scanand fax jobs can be programmed and executed without waiting for the print engine tobecome available, while newly programmed copy jobs will join the job queue and be executedwhen earlier jobs are completed. By keeping the front panel available for programming while theprint engine is busy, users can stay productive and avoid idle time waiting for the MFP.Monitoring System StatusWith 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 managedthrough an integrated job queue with a few mouse-clicks or button pushes.How the WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs exceed the productivity requirementPPM4.3 secondsFPOT25 / 30
