copying, scanning, and two media trays/rolls (wide format)  
configuration.  
Network Administration - The quality of administrative and  
management utilities (both executable and Web-based)  
when compared to that of a sliding scale benchmark based  
on the network administration feature set of other vendors.

PRINTING BACKGROUND  
PRODUCTIVITY  
Printing passed copying as the primary method of  
reproducing documents years ago. Today, printing is just  
as important—if not more important—than copying.  
Evaluating print productivity is not as simple as timing copy  
jobs. The printing process involves several steps and can  
be affected by a variety of factors along the way.  
Connectivity  
The document must first be spooled by the print driver into  
a PCL or PostScript file. The PCL or PostScript file is then  
sent to the printer where it is raster image processed  
(RIPped) into image data by the device processor. The  
image data is then sent to the marking engine and output  
as printed pages.  
Most devices include Ethernet and USB connectivity out-  
of-the-box. Some devices also include a parallel interface.  
In addition, many devices provide a selection of optional  
connectivity choices such as Wireless 802.11b or g (g is  
the faster, preferred standard), Bluetooth for cell phone or  
PDA connectivity, PictBridge photo printing for printing  
directly from a digital camera, and FireWire for high-speed  
local connectivity.  
There are three obvious factors highlighted above (spool  
time, RIP time, and print engine speed), which can all  
make or break a device’s overall productivity. Other  
factors include concurrency and contention; for instance,  
print speed may slow down when the device is being used  
for other functions, such as scanning.  
Page Description Languages (PDLs)  
PCL is the page description language (PDL) provided by  
most printer and MFP suppliers. Some manufacturers  
charge for a PostScript upgrade or provide a PostScript  
However, it is possible to time and compare these factors  
through the use of careful preparation, conditioning and  
Level 3 emulation (clone).  
Still other manufacturers  
provide genuine Adobe PostScript Level 3 and bundle in  
PCL. A few manufacturers also include their own PDL,  
which are typically loosely based on the Microsoft  
Windows/GDI printing technology of old. These Windows  
or GDI drivers often offer significant productivity  
advantages over traditional PCL and PostScript print  
drivers, since the bulk of the processing is handled by the  
more powerful desktop PC, rather than by the less well-  
equipped printer processor itself.

BACKGROUND  
Nearly all MFPs on the market today provide digital  
copying, while many desktop printers offer it as an option.  
Despite the fact that many devices provide a wide range of  
digital-copying capabilities, from image manipulation to  
page insertion, most typical copy jobs actually consist of a  
single set of a simplex document that is five pages or less,  
with no finishing, and no image-quality manipulation.  
Small Simple Jobs  
Although most MFPs provide a wide range of copying  
features, most users are not willing to navigate through  
countless screen menus in order to get to the point where  
they can actually press the Start key. There are two  
components of copy-job productivity: 1) user productivity,  
and 2) device productivity. BERTL encourages enterprises  
to also consider the impact of user productivity, along with  
device productivity. Device productivity only includes the  
time it takes from the press of the Start key until the final  
copy exits the device, and does not take into account the  
time that it takes a user to program and start the copy job.  
However, the easier the job, the easier it is to program;  
users will also take less time to program jobs as they  
acclimate to the controls and/or create job programs. And,  
of course, some users are more astute and capable than  
others. Consequently, these uncontrolled factors introduce  
a high degree of variability. However, of course, a device  
that takes twice as long to produce the first copy affects the  
job productivity of each and every user and job.  
Above and below:  
The WorkCentre 4260’s platen  
(above) and document feeder (below), with the document  
feeder’s cover opened in order to expose the feeder’s  
misfeed-access area.  
Large, Complex Jobs  
Even with large copy jobs—where it seems engine speed  
plays the largest role—user productivity should be taken  
into account. For example, the user is less likely to wait at  
the copier for larger and more complex jobs. Factors that  
enhance user productivity include such features as easy  
job programming; a scan-ahead feature so that users can  
program and scan jobs while other jobs are printing; fast  
original scanning so that users can more quickly return to  
their desks with their originals; the ability to build a job  
using a mix of different-size originals scanned from both  
the document feeder and platen; and job notification at the  
computer desktop when the copy job is completed (thus  
eliminating the guesswork of when to return to the copier to  
collect the job).  
The “Services Home” button on the main control panel  
displays all of the device’s available functions. Available  
options include Copy, ID Card Copy, Fax, E-mail, Network  
Scanning, Print Files, and Store to USB.

The “Copy” touch screen’s main menu provides users with  
the most common copying choices. The blue bold buttons  
on the touch screen display currently selected settings.  
Users can choose several different output formats for their  
copy jobs from this touch screen. Options include Booklet  
Creation, Covers, Transparency Separator, Page Layout,  
and Store Job.  
COPY PRODUCTIVITY  
Advertised speeds are always quoted using the simplest  
route—in-and-out of a device. Of course, users often apply  
finishing options, incorporate different media sizes and  
types into the document, print in duplex, and add other  
elements that can affect speed. In the chart below, BERTL  
tests how different modes—mixed-size original mode and  
duplex mode—affect document-feeder productivity.  
In order to assess copier productivity, BERTL ran a series  
of copy jobs in order to determine document-feeder  
scanning speed, the affect of the first set out on overall  
engine speed, and whether specific job attributes affect  
engine throughput capability. Each job was set up by  
feeding media from the shortest media route to the shortest  
available output destination. A separate test examines  
The touch screen displaying image-quality options for the  
copy function. Users can choose settings like the Original  
Type, Lightened / Darkened, and Background

BACKGROUND  
Device Contention  
Print slowdown when scanning  
In just a few years, network scanning has changed from  
being a “luxury” function to one that is virtually essential.  
No  
No  
No  
copy job?  
Indeed, today, nearly all MFPs provide standard or optional  
network scanning, including scan-to-e-mail. This makes  
document-feeder design even more critical, with users  
looking for document feeders with higher feeding speeds,  
low–resolution capabilities, as well as for MFPs with more  
versatile scanning, and color-scanning capability.  
Print slowdown when scanning in  
scan job?  
Print slowdown when scan-data  
transfer underway?  
Network Scanning is a standard feature with the Xerox  
WorkCentre 4260. Users can convert paper documents  
into electronic format.  
Address Book Integration  
MFPs’ ability to integrate their scanning addresses book  
with central corporate address book located on LDAP or  
Microsoft Windows NT network servers is the current de  
facto standard. The ability to force-populate outgoing e-  
mail from the MFP with sender information through an  
enforced login process is also required (i.e., senders must  
enter their network password before they can use the  
MFP’s scan-to-e-mail).  
Users have the option of selecting the scanning color  
mode, single or duplex scanning mode, document type and  
scan presets.  
Supported Scan Destinations  
« Users have the option of sending these electronic  
documents to a multitude of places which include:  
Destinations  
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
Scan to Network Server  
Scan to Email  
Scan to application (Electronic Document Management  
System/Repositories)  
Most MFPs’ network-scanning capabilities include the  
ability to scan-and-send to e-mail addresses, SMB  
destinations (Windows desktop locations), FTP (File  
Transfer Protocol) sites, and Internet fax destinations. In  
some instances, the scanned document goes directly to  
the MFP’s hard drive, and an e-mail is sent to the recipient  
with a URL link. By navigating to the URL link, the  
recipient can quickly access the scanned file from the  
device’s hard drive. Also of note is that a growing number  
of devices are beginning to include external media ports to  
allow users to scan and send documents to USB flash  
memory devices and digital-camera SD chips. We expect  
this to become more common over the next year.  
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
SMARTsend  
Scan to Windows XP client SMB or FTP  
Scan to Folder  
Scan to Home  
Security  
Security is another critical aspect of scanning. Several  
MFPs now include the ability to send scanned messages  
using encrypted PFD or other secure-transfer formats.  
This is an important capability in industries and sectors  
where data must be kept secure and confidential. Most  
devices also support network authentication, so that users  
must log into their device (usually with their network  
password) before they scan.  
The Template Destinations list displays all the templates  
currently available to users. Users can create up to 250  
templates.  
Integration with Third-Party Applications  
Users can choose the network template (used to send  
documents to a remote repository or document storage  
system. Network templates can be created using FreeFlow  
SMARTsend.  
The big buzz in the office digital-imaging industry is the  
move toward open architecture, with the MFP’s firmware  
backbone based on an industry standard such as Java or  
.NET rather than on a proprietary system.  
The Local templates are used to store documents on the  
device and can be created using CentreWare Internet  
Services, WIA or the TWAIN driver.

Scan to E-mail is a standard feature on the WorkCentre  
4260 series. When enabled, scanned images can be sent  
as an e-mail attachment to a specified e-mail recipient(s).  
Above and below: To scan a file on to a USB storage  
device the user must click on the Store to USB icon on the  
control panel. The root directory on the USB is then  
displayed on the control panel and users can scroll through  
the directory contents.  
Users can manually enter an e-mail address for a new  
recipient using the touch screen QWERTY keyboard.  
The Store Files feature allows users to scan hardcopy  
documents as an electronic file and place them into a  
folder located on the device or on a USB thumb drive. The  
stored job can be retrieved at a later date for printing from  
the device or for printing and sharing from the USB thumb  
drive. The Store Files feature allows users to store a job in  
the following formats: PDF, TIFF, Multi-page TIFF and  
JPEG.  
The File/Folder Management tab offers users the ability to  
open, create a new folder, rename or delete a file stored on  
a USB media.

while it is transferring scan to network or fax jobs.  
«The input scanning speed for the WorkCentre 4260 is 50  
ipm using monochrome and 45 ipm using color. (216 x 279  
mm / A4 Long Edge Feed).  
« This is much more convenient for IT managers, since it  
means they do not waste resources manually updating  
each device address book every time a phone number or  
email address is added, deleted, or updated.

smooth and realistic. Font quality was also rated  
“Above Average”, as fonts were clean and sharp at 4  
points.  
A “√” mark indicates the device was able to print the line width correctly.  
*Chart cells containing an “x” indicate that the printer was not able to print  
the line width correctly. Overall, the fewer “x’s,” the better the image

The WorkCentre 4260’s Control Panel consists of a touch screen  
and hard keys. The “Services” button displays all of the device’s  
available functions.  
PROGRAMMING THE CONTROL PANEL  
Visit a few MFP manufacturers’ showrooms, and you will  
see a wide range of control panels and touch screens. The  
most rudimentary consist of a selection of hard keys and  
an LCD screen that can often be challenging to navigate.  
On the other hand, some control panels that utilize hard  
keys and LCD screens can actually be easier to use than  
touch screens. However, hard-key/LCD panel systems  
that require users to scroll through various settings and  
make a selection can also often be challenging to use.

Among touch screens, some utilize a menu-driven system,  
while others utilize an icon-based system. Some menu-  
driven touch screens can involve many complicated sub-  
menus that can be difficult to navigate.  
Copied Front and Rear Covers  
Most manufacturers try to keep their control panels and  
touch screens consistent across their MFPs and printers,  
so that users do not have to spend time learning how to  
use a new control panel when moving from device to  
device.  
A control panel’s ease of use—or lack of—can often have  
a significant affect on user productivity. The harder it is to  
select frequently used options such as duplexing,  
document finishing, etc., the more time the user has to  
spend programming the device and the less productive  
they are. In the chart to the right, BERTL assesses how  
many steps are required to make these commonplace  
settings.  
The right side of the control panel contains various hard keys,  
including keys for “Start,” Stop,” etc. as well as a numerical  
keypad for entering number of copies and fax numbers, and hard  
keys for switching between different functions such as services,  
displaying job status and machine status.

PCL AND POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS  
PRINT DRIVER DIALOGUE SCREENS  
As with control panels and touch screens, print-driver  
design can vary enormously from manufacturer-to-  
manufacturer. And, as with control panels and touch  
screens, how easy it is—or isn’t—to make selections in the  
print driver and navigate through it can significantly affect  
user productivity.  
Most vendors provide an emulation of PCL (printer control  
language) developed by the Hewlett-Packard Company.  
Some may also provide an emulation of PostScript,  
developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated, or they may  
license PostScript directly from Adobe. While the Adobe  
PostScript driver is not the most user-friendly of print  
drivers, the advantage is that many users are already  
familiar with it. Alternately, some manufacturers may use  
an emulation of PostScript and design their own print-driver  
user interface, or may license PostScript from Adobe and  
also design their own print-driver interface.  
Print-Driver Checklist  
Do print drivers have identical user interfaces?  
Yes  
Yes  
The print driver dialogue screen for both the PCL and PostScript  
drivers are virtually the same with some minor differences. The  
first tab on both the PCL and PostScript drivers is the  
Page/Output. This tab provides basic options such as job type,  
paper options, 2-sided printing, and stapling. The image of the  
device on the left indicates how the device is currently set up.  
Are print drivers interfaces identical to other  
vendor models?  
Bidirectional communication within print drivers?  
Auto device configuration from within print driver?  
Yes  
Yes  
In the “Job Type” drop-down menu on the top left are options for  
Normal Print, Secure Print, Sample Set, Delay Print, and Saved  
Job.  
Does print-driver installation require rebooting of  
the workstation?  
No  
Yes  
Yes  
Are print-driver deployment processes included?  
Normal Print: Prints the job immediately without requiring a pass  
code.  
Are print-driver deployment guidelines and  
procedures included?  
Secure Print: Prints the job only after the user enters their pass  
code at the printer's control panel.  
Sample Set: Prints one copy of the job as a sample and holds  
the remaining copies of the job at the printer until you release  
them from the printer's control panel.

When this job type is selected, the Delay Print dialog box appears  
so users can specify a time to print.  
Saved Job: Stores the job on the printer's hard drive so that it  
can be printed on demand from the printer's control panel or  
printed from CentreWare Internet Services. When you select this  
job type, the Saved Job dialog box appears so you can assign a  
job name and, if desired, print it and save it.  
Above and below: The PCL driver’s advanced tab enables users  
to select advanced printing options such as Paper/Output and  
Image Options. The PostScript driver provides users with  
additional image options not found in the PCL driver.  
On the Layout/Watermark tab, users can specify layout options  
and watermarks to be printed on specific pages. Users can also  
select booklet options, several page layout options (including  
duplex printing), paper orientation, and page borders. Users can  
also add, edit or adjust watermark selections. The Defaults button  
will return all options on the tab to the default settings.

supporting printers and multifunction devices on the network, and  
increase end-user productivity:  
Xerox Global Print Driver (X-GPD) is a truly universal print driver  
that lets IT administrators install, upgrade and manage Xerox and  
non-Xerox devices from a single driver. It provides a consistent,  
easy-to-use interface for end-users, aimed at reducing the  
number of support calls, and simplifying print services  
management.  
The Xerox Mobile Express Driver (X-MED) makes it easy for  
mobile users to find, use and manage Xerox and non-Xerox  
devices in every new location. Users can plug into a new network,  
and the X-MED driver will automatically discovers available  
printers and provide status and capability information. Users can  
save a list of “favorite” printers for each location, store application  
print settings for use on any printer in any network, and greatly  
reduce mobile support calls to IT administrators.  
In addition, these drivers provide users with a consistent single  
interface for all printers, with real-time, dynamic reports of printer  
status. As a result, users can easily identify the best printer for  
their needs, quickly choose the correct options and see updated  
consumables status without the assistance of IT.  
Above and below: This tab provides print-driver version  
information.  
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE  
Workgroup devices sold through retail and traditional IT  
distribution outlets usually are maintained by office workers  
who change the all-in-one cartridge units that encase the  
entire imaging system, including the toner cartridge (or the  
ink cartridges employed by ink-jet imaging systems). Units  
sold through resellers and dealers are usually maintained  
by office workers and/or trained service engineers. While  
separate long-life parts are more complex to install (i.e.,  
separate toner cartridges, imaging drums, transfer belts),  
they tend to cost less than low- yield, all-in-one  
alternatives.  
Toner or Ink Replacement  
Changing the toner, imaging cartridge or ink cartridge is a  
necessary task that is traditionally is avoided by some for  
fear of toner dust or ink leaking on clothing or hands, or the  
fear that it might be too complicated. However, most units  
today offer clean replacement of toner or ink supplies, and  
there is very little risk of toner or ink leakage. Usually the  
replacement process is usually easy.  
Clearing Media Misfeeds  
The main issue that office users attempt to avoid is the  
removal of an occasional media misfeed. As a general  
rule, the faster a device engine, and the more media  
handling and finishing options it has, the more complex is  
the process of removing media misfeeds.  
Common media-misfeed sources involve the duplex unit  
and poor loading of media supplies. The position of the  
duplex unit may be a major factor in the removal of many

media misfeeds. How easy or difficult it is to load media  
supplies can also be a factor in the overall number of  
misfeeds that may occur  
Loading Media  
It goes without saying that loading media should be as  
easy as possible, but sometimes that is not the case.  
Among the factors that affect ease-of-use are:  
•
•
The user should be able to load an entire ream (500  
sheets) in a single step.  
Mechanisms such as corner separators and ramps in  
the media drawer can impede loading media.  
The user must then press down on the release handle and then  
simply slides out the old cartridge and then replaces it with a new  
one.  
The most critical factor involved in ease-of-loading media is  
automatic media-size detection. Ultimately, the device  
should be able to recognize the new media size and reflect  
it on its control panel/touch screen and across the network  
in print drivers and printer-management software. Without  
automatic media-size detection, users must remember to  
program-in the new media size—something they often  
neglect to do, or do incorrectly. This can result in jobs  
printed on the wrong media size, backed-up job logs, etc.

CLIENT UTILITIES  
In order to take the best and most efficient advantage of a  
device and its capabilities, as well as ensure maximum  
uptime, clients need an efficient way to access and monitor  
the device. This is true whether the device is an MFP,  
printer, or scanner.

or provides certain document finishing, such as stapling or  
saddle-stitch booklet making.  
Second, users want to know a device’s current status—if it  
is ready to print or is offline, for instance. Third, they may  
also wish to know whether it is equipped with sufficient  
supplies, such as ink and media, to be able to produce  
their job. Fourth, when the device is shared, they may  
wish to know how many other jobs may be lined up ahead  
of them.  
Manufactures typically provide the user with this  
information either via a client software utility that is installed  
on the client’s workstation, or via a printer Web page that is  
accessed via the Web and a Web browser. Some  
manufacturers may also provide software that  
automatically indicates (via a pop-up window) when the  
user’s job is completed or if there is a problem with the  
device, such as depleted media.  
Xerox provides several solutions for monitoring the device and  
jobs. Among them is CentreWare Internet Services, a web-based  
solution that enables clients to view device status and  
configuration, and enables administrators to manage and  
configure system and network settings.

Administrators can configure automatic e-mail alerts so that  
specified users are automatically alerted via e-mail when  
specified error conditions occur (such as low paper or toner). This  
can help reduce downtime and improve efficiencies. Similar  
competitive devices allow for up to three email recipients.  
CentreWare also provides quick access links for device  
configuration, cloning, e-mail set up, SNMP, firmware, and Xerox  
technical support.  
DEVICE MANAGEMENT  
An efficient device-management software system is critical  
in order to take maximum advantage of a device’s feature  
set, be it a printer, fax, scanner or multifunctional  
peripheral (MFP).  
Device management is typically provided via a Web server  
on the device controller. This Web server is accessed  
using any desktop Web browser. The user simply enters  
the device’s IP address into the address line of their Web  
browser. Note that administrators and office users have  
different management and monitoring needs.  
General Office Users  
As noted previously, end users want to know if a device is  
capable of handling a particular job, current status (such as  
“Ready”), and current supply levels (media, toner, ink), as  
well as if there are any other jobs waiting to be printed.  
The properties tab provides administrators with the ability to clone  
device settings from one device to another. This feature improves  
productivity and ensures that all of the devices on the network  
have the same device and security settings for added protection.  
Administrators  
The aim of most network administrators is to obtain greater  
control over networked devices without having to leave  
their own desk. From their computer desktop, they would  
like to be able to set up the device on the network,  
establish security for IP filter ranges, apply cost-control  
measures, check supply levels, and set up automated e-  
mail alerts for different staff members when problems  
occur or maintenance needs must be met.  
Due to the nature of a device’s Web server, this capability  
is usually limited to an individual device. However, many  
manufacturers also include a network device- management  
fleet tool, which allows for the concurrent monitoring and  
management of multiple devices connected to the network.  
Many also provide plug-ins for the most popular IT device-

screens, which will make it especially easy for  
WorkCentre users to quickly acclimate to it.  
•
The WorkCentre 4260’s touch screen displays the  
most common and frequently used copier settings on  
the Copy screen. This enables copy users to quickly

Media Handling  
April 2009  
Xerox WorkCentre 4260 XF  
www.BERTL.com  
MEDIA INPUT  
Substrate (media) handling is a core requirement of every  
device. If a device cannot print a file on specific media  
desired by the user, it hardly matters how fast the print  
engine is, or how many pages it can produce.  
A device’s media-handling capability basically concerns  
how it can handle two key criteria: the media size and  
media weight it can feed, as well as the maximum number  
of pages that can be loaded in the device’s drawers, trays,  
etc. The greater the media capacity, the less time users  
will spend reloading media.  
MEDIA OUTPUT AND FINISHING  
Office workgroup devices’ media-output handling options  
range from duplex printing to saddle-stitch booklet making.  
Many devices offer a choice of finisher/staplers, which  
provide a low-cost, minimum footprint solution, or a high-  
capacity, fully featured solution such as multi-position  
stapling, saddle-stitch booklet maker and/or document hole  
puncher.  
BERTL evaluates these functions looking at how the same  
job outputs at different speeds when different finishing  
options are specified. The impact of the finishing selection  
is determined by timing jobs that are sent to a device with  
various finishing settings.  
The WorkCentre 4260XF shown above is equipped with  
two standard 500-sheet paper drawers, a 100 sheet  
bypass tray plus a 2000 sheet High Capacity Feeder brings  
the total paper capacity up to 3,100-sheets.  
LOADING MEDIA  
Stapling  
Lower-cost finisher/stapler units often have a 15- to 30-  
sheet maximum stapling capability and are often limited to  
corner stapling. Floor-standing, higher-cost finisher like the  
WorkCentre 4260’s provides a 50-sheet capability and  
offers single position stapling.
