Section 1: Evaluating Color
Multifunction Printers
Cost Control
One of the most critical considerations when evaluating a color multifunction
printer is its cost of operation. Does the vendor provide the tools you need to
control access and use of the system’s color features? Are the accounting tools
available to help track and assign printing costs? Does the vendor offer tools and
services to help you right-size your deployment?
• Network Accounting Enablement Kit
(optional) — enables Xerox MFPs to
integrate with third-party accounting
and billing solutions from Xerox Business
Partners.
• LEVEL 2: Xerox Office Productivity
Advisor (XOPA) — More in-depth,
web-based tool assesses your specific
document environment. XOPA results
suggest better ways to manage page
volume between printing, copying
and faxing — they deliver end user
satisfaction and cost efficiency. XOPA is
a free service performed by your local
Xerox sales representative.

multifunction printer exceeds
the cost control requirement
Driver solutions to reduce cost
Driver Defaults allow users to customize
print settings for each application for
economy and efficiency. Set duplex
printing or N-Up as "default” and adjust
settings for specific applications, such as
always printing emails in black-and-white.
Assessment options
Xerox can help you decrease your overall
document costs by optimizing and right-
sizing your technology deployment. Three
levels of assessment tools and services are
available to help you deploy the right mix
of equipment to best serve the needs of
your environment:
• LEVEL 3: Xerox Office Document
Assessment (ODA) — An analytical
model that measures and analyzes
your current document production
infrastructure, the ODA provides in-
depth improvement plans for significant
cost savings and increased efficiency.
The ODA is a six-sigma, fee-based tool
and consultative service oriented more
at enterprise-level organizations.
Accounting capabilities
Xerox provides multiple levels of
accounting capabilities to give your
organization the control it needs for
tracking and assigning costs. These tools
include:
• LEVEL 1: Xerox Office Efficiency

Multifunction Printers
Productivity
In addition to actual print engine speed, consider the factors that affect overall
throughput. Are the device’s scanning and faxing features powerful enough to support
the demands of your busiest departments? Is the device appropriately sized for the entire
workgroup? Can important features be used simultaneously, or are employees forced to
wait for the device to become “free”? Is the system designed to minimize network traffic?
Can device functions be monitored from users’ desktops and/or at the device?

a critical print job.
The WorkCentre 7120 delivers color and
black-and-white output speeds up to 20
ppm — even on two-sided letter/A4-size
media. Document handling speed is
notable as well, with a 110-sheet duplex
automatic document feeder (DADF) that
scans color and black-and-white documents
at 55 images per minute. With color first-
copy-out times as fast as 8.1 seconds and
black-and-white first-copy-out times as fast
as 6.5 seconds, users won’t have to wait
long for their jobs to get started, either.
Streamlined processes
Easily share files or introduce electronic
archiving with powerful scan capabilities.
Create text-searchable files at the device
for easy retrieval. Compression technology
reduces network load to enable fast
transmission. Plus, you can create job flow
sheets to automatically route documents

Concurrency
The controller’s advanced design also
helps avoid bottlenecks at the front
panel. Concurrent operation means you
won’t have to wait until a long print job is
complete to program a fax, scan or copy
job. By keeping the front panel available
for programming while the print engine is
busy, users stay productive and avoid idle
time waiting for the multifunction printer.
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.

The WorkCentre 7120 performs 100
percent efficient two-sided printing on
letter- / A4-size media — it’s just as fast
as printing one-sided pages. Plus, optional
LAN fax functionality further reduces
paper usage by sending faxes directly from
applications on your desktop. Incoming
faxes can be viewed as thumbnail images
on the user interface — so you only print
what’s important.

Section 1: Evaluating Color
Multifunction Printers
Reliability
Office productivity relies on tools that do their jobs day in and day out.
Consider how often you need to intervene to replace paper or other consumables
or to clear jams. How easy is that intervention, and how long is the device typically
down? If outside assistance is required, how easy is it to schedule and how long do
you have to wait?
Any paper jams or misfeeds that do occur
can be easily cleared through access doors
on the side of the machine, enabling users
to proactively resolve most issues. With a
maximum paper capacity of up to 2,130
sheets, the WorkCentre 7120 device can
also drastically reduce paper reloading
downtime. Xerox SMart KitTM technology
also helps minimize downtime by
predicting when critical parts will fail and
alerting you to order replacement units.
SMart Kit replaceable units are as simple
to replace as toner cartridges.
Service / support
How the WorkCentre 7120
multifunction printer exceeds
the reliability requirement
Building on the reliability engineered
into the WorkCentre 7120 multifunction
printer, Xerox has trained and developed
a sophisticated service-delivery network
capable of maintaining your equipment,
addressing issues users may encounter,
and training employees on how to get the
most out of the equipment.
Day-to-day reliability
Reliability comes in two forms: system
reliability and image reliability. The
WorkCentre 7120 device has been
designed to provide maximum system
reliability and uptime. Simple paper paths
and minimal moving parts help optimize
day-to-day reliability and contribute
to a duty cycle* of up to 50,000 pages
per month.
*Duty cycle is a measure of the maximum number of
copies/prints that can be run during peak periods.

Section 2: Introducing the Xerox WorkCentre 7120
Color Multifunction Printer
Product Overview
Efficiently powerful performance. Seamlessly create and share business-critical
information, in full office color, and take your business or workgroup to a higher level
of performance — without hurting the bottom line.
Streamline your processes
Increase productivity with powerful
workflows that optimize business
efficiency. The compact WorkCentre 7120
is loaded with features that save time and
simplify device management.
• Fast output. Copy and print both single-
sided and two-sided documents at up to
20 ppm in color or black-and-white.
• Scan, print, copy, fax and route files
— all at once. Concurrent operation
maximizes office productivity, letting
multiple users perform different office
tasks simultaneously.
• Never wait for a critical print job. The
Print Around feature holds a job in need
of resources (such as a special paper size)
and prints the next job in the queue.
• Superior scanning. Easily share files
or introduce electronic archiving with
powerful scan capabilities. Create text-
searchable files at the device for easy
retrieval. Compression technology reduces
network load to enable fast transmission.
• Automate everyday workflows. Create
job flow sheets to automatically route
documents to predefined locations,
including email addresses, fax
destinations and FTP/SMB sites.
16 Xerox WorkCentre 7120 Evaluator Guide
• Remotely manage the device.
CentreWare® IS Embedded Web Server
automates installation, troubleshooting,
feature set-up and upgrading.
Easy on the environment
The WorkCentre 7120 multifunction printer
conserves natural resources with no loss of
performance, reliability or output quality.
Security without IT
Robust security features safeguard the
full gamut of entry and exit points to
ensure the safety of critical information.
Implement enterprise security solutions
without the need for skilled IT know-how.
• Easy, accurate billing and supplies
replenishment. Smart eSolutions
MeterAssistant® collects and submits
meter reads and SuppliesAssistant®
enables automatic ordering of ink to
save time.
• Reduce energy consumption with
Xerox innovations. A scanner based
on LED lighting instead of traditional
Xenon lamps consumes only 1/3 the
power. Plus, innovative toner design
requires a lower fusing temperature than
traditional toner while offering glossy,
beautiful office graphics.
• Secure Print keeps documents private by
holding print jobs in the queue until the
user enters the password.
• Password protected PDFs require a
password to open and view a sensitive
scan.
Responsible color
The budget-friendly WorkCentre 7120
• Work quietly. Our quietest workgroup
color MFP stays productive while
emitting low noise levels.
helps you manage costs and save money.
• Keep your information safe by
encrypting resident data on the device
and electronically erasing images on the
hard drive.
• Customize your print driver settings for
economy and efficiency. For example,
set two-sided printing or choose N-up
for printing multiple pages on a single
sheet as your default. Adjust settings
for specific applications, such as always
printing emails in black-and-white.
• Save time and paper with 100 percent
efficient two-sided printing on letter-
/ A4-size media — it’s just as fast
as printing one-sided pages. Or go
paperless and distribute digital files
quickly and easily.
• Email over SSL protects communications
to prevent identity theft.
• Full system Common Criteria (ISO
15408) Certification at EAL3 ensures
that the WorkCentre 7120 conforms to
the most stringent security standards
and regulations.
• Manage and track device usage.
Internal Auditron sets limits of device
features for analysis and billing
purposes. Xerox Standard Accounting
provides reports for greater cost control
of all device functions. Advanced
solutions from Xerox Alliance Partners
deliver even more helpful tools for larger
office environments.
• Paperless faxing. LAN Fax sends faxes
directly from applications on your
desktop. Incoming faxes can be viewed as
thumbnail images on the user interface
— so you only print what’s important.
• Reduce fax costs. The Fax over IP (T.38)
Kit sends and receives faxes using the
T.38 protocol.
