EVALUATE EASE OF USE AND MANAGEMENTLook for fully integrated functions that work together to create more value than the sum of their parts.Are the functions easy to learn? Is the user interface consistent from function to function? Do the networkfeatures give you full access to the power of your network? Does the device include additional softwareto take full advantage of your digital documents? Is the device easy for your IT organization to manage aspart of its infrastructure?FrONT PANEl uSEr INTErFACEIt doesn’t matter if your job is simple or complex —the front panel user interface (UI) is easy to learn andoffers quick job programming. The WorkCentre 7346multifunction printer utilizes an 8.1-inch color touch-screen UI that enables total control of copy, scan and faxfunctions. The touch-screen UI is intuitively organized,with the most commonly accessed features on the defaultscreen and tab-based access to advanced programmingfeatures. A selection of buttons accompanies the touch-panel UI for inputting and numbers, accessingmanagement features, and executing jobs (with the familiar green Start button). Third-party applica-tions can be integrated with the front panel UI as well (for more information, see Extensible InterfacePlatform on page 13).
