EvALuATE PERFORMANCE AND PRINT SPEED
For graphic arts and light production environments, overall system speed and performance are critical
considerations. Print speeds are critical in light production environments, where longer print jobs are
regularly produced. In graphic arts and colour-intensive environments, processing speed and overall
performance will help avoid bottlenecks and quickly process large jobs. Lastly, consider the consumables
for the printer-copiers you are evaluating, and whether they will help you avoid downtime.

AND PRINT SPEED REQuIREMENT:
PRINT SPEED
Ever think your printer could print as fast in colour as it does in black and white? The DocuColor
242 / 252 / 260 printer-copier comes close, while delivering print speeds you probably haven't
experienced before. The DocuColor 242 features print speeds of up to 40 ppm for colour and 55
ppm for black and white. The DocuColor 252 delivers print speeds of up to 50 ppm for colour and
65 ppm for black and white. The DocuColor 260 brings the performance of the Xerox colour
product line to new heights, with colour print speeds of up to 60 ppm and black and white print
speeds up to 75 ppm. With first-page-out times (FPOT) as fast as 10.7 seconds for colour and 4.3
seconds for black and white, your jobs not only print fast, but also get started quickly.
PROCESSING POwER
The bustled controller in the DocuColor 242 / 252 / 260 utilises a 2.8 GHz Intel
and 512 MB of standard memory, upgradeable by a further 512 MB to 1GB. This EFI Fiery bustled
controller can also be configured with the EFI Splash RPX-ii software solution.
For environments with pre-existing workflows or specific processing needs, Xerox offers three
additional external colour server options. All of your processing and workflow requirements can
be met by a DocuColor 242 / 252 / 260.
OvERALL PERFORMANCE
No matter how big or complex the mix of print jobs, the DocuColor 242 / 252 / 260 can handle
it. With fast print speeds, quick FPOT, a fast network connection and powerful image processing,
these printer-copiers have the horsepower to handle your workload. With five standard paper
trays, optional high-capacity feeders, and a 250-sheet DADF, your large print and scan jobs
are also handled with minimal interventions.
CONSuMAbLES
The DocuColor 242 / 252 / 260 printer-copier utilises Xerox SMart Kit™ customer replaceable units
so that regularly replaced supplies can be replaced without requiring a service call. Further, these
copier-printers are designed so that you can replace toner cartridges while the machine is still
copying or printing — avoiding interruptions that occur when toner cartridges run completely empty.
The DocuColor 242 / 252 / 260 also utilises two black toner cartridges, doubling the capacity of the
most often used toner colour.
