EVALUATE VALUE

Purchasing a color printer is not a trivial investment for a small office or small business. Evaluating

the overall value that a printer in the entry-level price range delivers is an important step during the

purchasing process. Does the printer deliver a level of performance that will allow you to increase

productivity in your office or workgroup? Does the printer deliver new features that will enable you

to accomplish new things? Lastly, does the printer offer paper capacities that fit your workload?

PERFORMANCE

The Phaser 6180 sets a new standard for performance in its class, with color printing speeds up

to 20 ppm and black-and-white print speeds up to 26 ppm. This level of performance will easily

handle the workload of your small group of professionals, whether your documents are primarily

color or black-and-white.

The Phaser 6180 doesn’t just print pages quickly — it gets jobs started quickly with first-page-out

times as fast as 10 seconds. Even complex print jobs are processed quickly by the Phaser 6180

print controller, which features a 400 MHz controller and 128 MB of memory standard

(1,152 MB maximum).

HOW THE XEROX PHASER 6180 EXCEEDS THE VALUE REQUIREMENT:

Section 2

Evaluating Color Laser Printers

While the benefits of color are easy to see, evaluating color printers for future purchase and deployment

into your business can be more challenging. Based on years of experience and research into the real-

world needs of color printer users, Xerox has identified some key issues for you to consider as you

conduct your color printer evaluations.

Color printers that are deployed into small businesses or offices have unique requirements from other

color printers on the market. Overall value, print quality, and user friendliness are the attributes that

small office customers should evaluate when selecting a color laser printer for their environments.

Evaluate Value

Purchase cost, operating costs and productivity — each of these impacts the

overall value you will receive from the color printer you ultimately purchase.

Evaluate Performance and Print Quality

More than just pages per minute, the overall printing performance of a color

printer will indicate whether it is able to support the workload of your busy

employees and produce documents that will wow your customers.

Evaluate User Friendliness

It’s important that printers in this class are easy to set up, use and

manage on an ongoing basis — whether you have IT support or not.

This section of the Evaluator Guide will examine each of these areas and

suggest ways you can evaluate printers against these requirements. Do this

for all the color laser printers you consider, and you’ll see how the Phaser

6180 exceeds expectations on all counts.

ADVANCED PRINTER FEATURES

The Phaser 6180 is packed with advanced print features that you might be surprised to find on a

printer that’s so affordable. Expand the print capabilities of your office, with features ranging

from booklet printing to adding watermarks to documents.

Advanced features include:

• Banner sheet1— Prints banners using multiple sheets

• Booklet printing1— Formats printed documents, such as brochures or handouts, for folding into

booklets

• Covers1— Prints cover pages for documents on specified media (colored paper to make print jobs

easily sortable, for instance)

• N-up printing — Prints multiple pages on each page, which is especially convenient when print-

ing presentations

• Poster printing1— Enlarges images by printing onto multiple sheets of paper

• Proof print2— Prints the first set of a multiple-set job, so you can make sure you’ve got the right

print settings before releasing the remaining sets to be printed

• RAM collation2— Collates print jobs consisting of multiple sets of multipage documents, which

eliminates the need to manually collate documents after the job is completed

• Secure print2— Holds the job at the printer until you release it with a specified 4-digit PIN code,

which ensures that sensitive or confidential files are not exposed in the output tray

• Skip blank pages — Conserve paper and supplies by skipping blank pages within a document

• Transparency separators — When printing transparencies, include plain paper separator pages

with or without the images for the corresponding transparency page

• Watermarks1— Adds watermarks to printed documents to denote “Confidential”

or “Draft” documents

MEDIA HANDLING

The Phaser 6180 has a standard total paper capacity of 400 sheets, with

the 150-sheet Tray 1/MPT and the 250-sheet Tray 2. For most offices

purchasing a printer in this class, a 400-sheet capacity will effectively

minimize the number of interventions required when paper runs out.

For offices with heavier workloads, adding the optional 550-sheet Tray

3 increases total capacity to 950 sheets. The capacity of Tray 3 is large

enough for you to load an entire ream of paper without waiting for the

tray to run completely empty.

PHASER 6180 EVALUATOR GUIDE

HOW THE XEROX PHASER 6180 EXCEEDS THE PRINT QUALITY REQUIREMENT:

EVALUATE PRINT QUALITY

Print quality is actually the sum of many factors involved in reproducing the image on your computer

screen to the printed page. Does the printer’s color and image quality exceed the requirements for your

internal and external applications? Is the range of media types and sizes you regularly use supported

by the printer?

COLOR QUALITY AND PRINT RESOLUTION

The ability to deliver vibrant color prints and crisp, fine-line detail involves many attributes of a

color printer. The Phaser 6180 offers multiple print modes that deliver up to 600 x 600 x 4 dpi

resolution — delivering 16 shades of color per pixel and producing exceptional photographic

quality. The 400 MHz controller features 128 MB of RAM, and it works with the True Adobe®

PostScript®3™and PCL®6 emulation print drivers to quickly and accurately process print jobs.

The Phaser 6180 features PANTONE®Color approved solid-color simulations and includes a

number of color correction settings to give you true-to-life colors and powerful color

management capabilities.

APPLICATION RANGE

Common types of office applications include presentations, reports, proposals, spreadsheets and

brochure layouts. The impact of these kinds of applications is maximized when they are printed in

color. The high-quality color laser output of the Phaser 6180 will help enliven your presentations,

enhance the communication of your ideas in marketing collaterals, and improve the professional

look of your customer proposals and documents.

MEDIA SUPPORT

The Phaser 6180 prints on a wide variety of media, including plain printer paper, transparencies,

labels, envelopes, card stock, business cards and glossy. Support for a range of media sizes and

weights means you have flexibility when printing and producing materials in-house. Phaser 6180

media support includes:

• Media Size — The Tray 1/MPT supports the widest range of paper sizes, including custom

sizes from 3 x 5 in. up to 8.5 x 14 in. and all standard sizes in between. Tray 2 and the optional

Tray 3 support custom sizes between 5.8 x 8.2 in. and 8.5 x 14 in.

• Media Weight — The Phaser 6180 supports the same media weights in all three trays, with

support for 17 to 40 lb. bond, 40 to 80 lb. cover and 65 to 220 gsm media.

EVALUATE USER FRIENDLINESS

User friendliness starts when the printer arrives at your office and carries through to your ongoing day-

to-day experience. Most small businesses have limited access to IT resources, so it’s important that the

color printers you adopt are easy to set up, install and manage. Print drivers need to offer easy access

to key features and be intuitively organized. Lastly, when troubleshooting is required, you should have

access to strong tools to minimize downtime and maximize productivity.

SETUP AND INSTALLATION

Once the Phaser 6180 is unpacked and in place, the installation process is simple and automated.

Plug in the power and connectivity cables, and turn on the printer. The Phaser 6180 will automati-

cally connect to your network. Then, using the included installation CD, step through the wizard-

based print driver installation process to connect your computer to the Phaser 6180. In as few as

four clicks, you’ll be connected and printing.
