The Fuji Xerox C240 is well suited to medium-sized workgroups. It can print at 24ppm in monochrome and 20ppm in colour. It can copy in monochrome and colour, scan in colour, and fax in colour.The C240 shipped with four paper trays that can hold a total of 2090 sheets of paper. All were able to house A3 and A4 paper. Also attached was a finisher that could do stapling.
Setup was generally straightforward. After giving the C240 an IP address, we installed the PCL and PS drivers on a network PC. The C240 has a built-in
The C240 also comes with the Auditron, which allows for password protected access to the device, and enables the administrator to track jobs. The Auditron will enable you to lock down certain users from misusing the colour printing by restricting the number of colour printouts they can do per month. Or you can completely shut users out from printing in colour. None of the other MFDs feature a quota-based system for users. Also supplied to us was Paper Port, which allows you to scan and open documents in your desktop applications.
The C240 wasn't the fastest at printing but it produced the best quality. If you want it to print faster, you could go up to the next Fuji Xerox model, which does just that. The Ricoh was a fraction better than the C240 at printing text. But the Fuji Xerox really stood out at printing photos. The other colour MFDs didn't even come close. It was exceptional and quite possibly the best we have seen come out of an MFD.
