Evaluate Printing Performance - Xerox 8560DT - Phaser Color Solid Ink Printer Evaluator Manual

EVALUATE PRINTING PERFORMANCE

Workgroup-class color printers need to deliver a level of performance that can support a heavy
daily workload. This includes raw print speed, as well as print job processing speed. Is the
print controller powerful enough to support your applications? Is the printer designed to be
shared by employees in busy workgroups? Does the printer provide the right media support for
your applications?
HOW THE XEROX PHASER 8560 EXCEEDS THE PRINTING PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENT
OVERALL PRINT PERFORMANCE
The Phaser 8560 is a high-performance color printer based on Xerox-exclusive solid ink technology. It is
designed to handle the daily demands of busy workgroups within both small and large companies. Most
importantly, it is designed with user flexibility foremost in mind. Users don't want to be limited to a single
print speed or print mode, since some of their print jobs may demand maximum speed while others require
the best image quality possible. The Phaser 8560 color printer incorporates this need for flexibility by
offering four print modes: fast color, standard, enhanced (default mode), and high-resolution/photo
mode.
The Phaser 8560 printer delivers not only options but also performance. With print speeds as fast as 30 ppm,
long print jobs can be tackled quickly. The other key performance metric for color printers is first-page-
out time, and the Phaser 8560 delivers here as well, with a speedy first-page-out time of as little as 5 seconds.
For busy workgroups that regularly print a mix of long and short print jobs, the Phaser 8560 packs the
performance needed to process jobs quickly and keep your office productive.
POWERFUL CONTROLLER
The Phaser 8560 controller is based on a 600 MHz PowerPC RISC processor with 256 MB of memory, standard
(512 MB of memory, maximum). This enables the Phaser 8560 printer to quickly process complex print jobs
and deliver its extremely fast first-page-out time.
BUILT TO BE SHARED
With standard support for 10/100Base-TX Ethernet networking, an 85,000-
page-per-month duty cycle, and a customizable paper capacity from 625 to
1,675 pages, the Phaser 8560 is truly built to be shared. Network administration
tools are provided to help IT departments track printer use, facilitate charge-
back billings, and plan for future printer deployment.
