WorkCentre 5222 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 5222 delivers fast output that quickly processes heavy workloads, withspeeds of up to 22 ppm. Multipage and double-sided copy, scan and fax jobs are quicklyprocessed with a 75-sheet DADF, which minimizes time spent feeding originals into thedevice. A first-page-out time (FPOT) as fast as 4.3 seconds means less waiting for jobsto begin.Network CapabilitiesPerformance isn’t limited to raw document feeds and speeds. The WorkCentre 5222 utilizes aPower 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, 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet connectivitycomes standard for high-speed network deployment.The WorkCentre 5222 is network-friendly, as well. With RAM collation, files are sent overthe network just once, no matter how many sets are printed. Job pipelining optimizessystem performance by allowing the device to process print jobs even if the print engineis 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 5222 generates high-quality copies and prints with crisp text and images.Plus, Xerox Emulsion Aggregation High Grade (EA-HG) toner — chemically grown toproduce smaller, more uniformly sized particles — delivers excellent shadowing and out-standing fine-line detail.The WorkCentre 5222 also features multiple page description languages (PDLs), includingemulations for PCL® 5e and PCL® 6, and optional Adobe® PostScript® 3™.ConcurrencyThe WorkCentre 5222 device’s network controller helps prevent device bottlenecks. Scan andfax jobs can be programmed and executed without waiting for the print engine to becomeavailable, while newly programmed copy jobs will join the job queue and be executed whenearlier jobs are completed. By keeping the front panel available for programming while the printengine is busy, users can stay productive and avoid idle time waiting for the MFP.Monitoring System StatusWith the WorkCentre 5222, 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 throughan integrated job queue with a few mouse-clicks or button pushes.How the WorkCentre 5222 MFP exceeds the productivity requirementPPM4.3 secondsFPOT22
