Vote for Xerox Workcentre 7855

Sponsorship

Overview

PS1 lacks reliable, small-format 2D printing capabilities. Several printers have come & gone. We are proposing a vote for a printing solution that will stand up to heavy use and be easily repairable.

We have chosen the Xerox Workcentre 7855. It will perform the printing tasks needed, but will also enhance our scanning capabilities and provide us the ability to fax, should we need it.

Here is a video of David Ditzler giving an overview of the printer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbTWAXmjwYE

The user manual for the printer can be found here: https://www.manualslib.com/products/Xerox-Workcentre-7855-3121948.html

Implementation & Maintenance

We're aiming to install the printer in the lounge. Most maintenance can be done by any user. Additionally, David Ditzler, the Pumping Station: One 2D Area Host, has one of these models for his printing business and can lead and perform most all maintenance.

All other small-format printers in the space will be removed via the asset removal process. The two flatbed scanners currently in the space will also be removed unless an area host has use for it. The large format printer will remain as-is.

Other/Additional implementation and ongoing maintenance details can be found in the image below.
