5. Ease of Use

Ease of Use for end users means less calls to the help desk, and fewer IT resources for training and problem management. Usability should be paramount, and without compromise.

  • Are the product user interfaces intuitive?
  • Does the family of products offer a common UI?
  • Are the software application user interfaces intuitive?
  • How much training is required for a user to become functional?
  • Are online help and documentation available and easy to use?
  • Does the product work the same way whether you’re copying, printing, scanning or faxing?
  • Does the product work the same way from the desktop as from the walkup console?
  • Does the product work the same way across a product family with members in different speed bands?
  • Does the vendor provide custom print drivers (same look) for both PCL® and PostScript®?
  • Is context-sensitive help accessible directly from the device’s walk-up user interface?
