According to BLI’s Lab Test Reports…
“CentreWare Web (CWW), the fleet management tool for the WorkCentre
4260, can be downloaded for free from www.xerox.com. BLI has tested
the utility and found it to be powerful and flexible.”
“The MX-B401’s Web utility is not as graphical or as easy to use as those
of some competitive MFPs. For example, web utilities of competitive
devices allow administrators to see, at a glance via a color-coded toner
gauge, the approximate amount of each color remaining; the Sharp
utility displays this information as text halfway down the page. Further,
the extensive menu structure can make nding a particular task / setting
for a first-time user somewhat difficult, as users may need to check a
number of headings and subheadings in the menu tree before finding the
appropriate submenu.”
