Re: KIP and HP wide format service and Oce, Xerox, KIP comparison
 The Xerox 6204 uses a Fuju Xerox controller which has no auto recognition of file types. This can cause the controller to lock up require operator intervention to clear the queue.

 The 6204 cannot save print jobs for later recall and use.

 The Xerox 6204 is listed as a mono component device; however it is not 100% toner efficient and requires a waste toner bottle to be replaced. The unit will shut down if the waste toner bottle is full

 The 6204 delivers prints out the front of the unit. With a full configuration of scanner and printer, this eliminates the possibility of using sophisticated finishing devices like a folder because it blocks the operator’s access in front.

 The 6204 does not support DWF printing.

 The cost of PDF support for the 6204 is $1400, twice the cost of the KIP 3000 PDF converter.

 The BT Plot Assistant Software (print submission tool) does not have a viewer.

 The Controller re-rips or processes files per copy, i.e. if a user sends a tiff file to print 10 copies, the controller processes the file 10 times. This is very slow and inefficient in a set printing environment.

 The 6204 cannot scan to FTP.

 The operator panel on the 6204 is a small, difficult to navigate backlit screen. The KIP 3000 screen is a large color screen that users prefer.

 You cannot buy the 6204 as a copier only.

 You cannot adjust the speed of the scanner – 3 ips.

 The 6204 is upgradeable to 5 “D”’s, however, you must also upgrade the power to 220.

 Prints limited to 99.

 You can only scan to 50 mailboxes.
