Evaluate Ease Of Use - Xerox 8560DT - Phaser Color Solid Ink Printer Evaluator Manual

EVALUATE EASE OF USE

When evaluating color printers, it is important to think about ease of use from a variety of angles. Are the
printer and print driver simple for your employees to learn, and do they help users solve issues and avoid
downtime? Does the printer include features that eliminate interruptions? Are consumables easy to locate
and replace? Is automated support offered to minimize calls to your help desk or to customer support?
HOW THE PHASER 8560 EXCEEDS THE EASE-OF-USE REQUIREMENT
FRONT PANEL
The Phaser 8560 offers a large, high-contrast front panel display that is simple, well-organized and backlit for
comfortable viewing. The front panel offers menu-based navigation features and information, with options
such as walk-up features, paper tray setup, printer setup, troubleshooting and shutdown.
The front panel is also a valuable resource for help topics. Pressing the "?" button brings up a contextual help
message that explains whatever menu function or message is currently displayed. Further, if the Phaser 8560
needs attention, the front panel will display graphic and text instructions on what you need to do to get it back
up and printing.
PRINT DRIVERS
The Phaser 8560 print drivers are intuitively organized to offer quick access to the most commonly used
features, with easy tab-based access to the complete feature set. Tabs are organized by:
• Layout — The default driver tab, settings for page orientation, two-sided printing and N-up printing
• Paper/Quality — Paper selection settings and status, as well as options for print quality and cover pages
• Output Options — Settings for walk-up features like secure and proof printing and insertion of
the printer learn to automatically place itself into standby and power-saving modes during periods of
nonuse. The printer will automatically return to its ready mode just prior to an expected use period,
avoiding any warm-up time and minimizing power usage in periods of nonuse.
