SECTION 2

Evaluating Workgroup Colour Printers

While the benefits of colour are easy to see, evaluating colour printers for purchase and deployment into your business

can be more challenging. Based on years of experience and research into the real-world needs of colour printer users,

Xerox has identified some key issues for you to consider as you conduct your colour printer evaluations.

Workgroup printers are typically shared by as many as 25 people on a day-to-day basis; even more people are

likely to use it on a sporadic basis. Further, larger workgroups often comprise employees who work off of different

platforms and operating systems — such as Microsoft Windows®, Apple Mac®OS or Linux®— so driver support

for multiple platforms is another important factor. Further, many small- and medium-size businesses interested

in adopting colour printers lack full-time IT staff — so the machines they ultimately deploy must be strong

performers with broad interoperability that are simultaneously easy to install, manage and use.

Currently, the single most common use of colour printing technology is print media creation for your company’s

customers and partners. Such media includes marketing and sales collaterals, reports, proposals, user guides and

the like. As workgroup colour printer utilisation grows more pervasive, traditional black and white documents

will be transposed for colour prints, which will improve end user retention and understanding of their content.

Regardless of application or environment, the following areas remain very important factors when customers

contemplate purchasing a colour printer.

Evaluate Printing Performance

More than just pages per minute, the overall printing performance of a colour printer indicates whether it can

support the workload of your busy employees.

Evaluate Print Quality

Think about the intended audience for the documents this printer will

ultimately produce. Is the print quality good enough to enhance your

internal documents and dazzle your customers?

Evaluate Installation

The colour printer you choose must be quick and easy to install,

whether you have IT staff on hand to assist or not.

Evaluate Ease of Use

Your employees need a printer that’s simple and intuitive to

use on a daily basis: Supplies must be easy to replace and

issues must be easy to resolve.

Evaluate Management

Examine the tools available for IT administrators in larger

organisations to manage printer settings, user access, printer

status and more.

Your challenge is to evaluate the colour printers available on

the market today and choose the one that most completely meets

your company’s needs in each of these areas. This section of

the Evaluator Guide will examine each of these areas, suggest ways

you can evaluate a prospective product candidate against that

requirement, and explain how the Phaser 8560 solid ink colour

printer exceeds the expectations of colour printer users on all

counts.

OVERALL PRINT PERFORMANCE

The Phaser 8560 is a high-performance colour 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 colour printer incorporates this need for flexibility

by offering four print modes: fast colour, 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 colour printers is

first-page-out time, and the Phaser 8560 delivers here as well, with a fast 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 customisable 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.

HOW THE XEROX PHASER 8560 EXCEEDS THE PRINTING PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENT

Workgroup-class colour 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?

EVALUATE PRINTING PERFORMANCE

Phaser 8560DX

PHASER 8560 EVALUATOR GUIDE

SOLID INK COLOUR TECHNOLOGY

The solid ink printing process is optimised for quality colour printing. Solid ink excels at printing smooth

colour blends and gradients, and with 2400 FinePoint™ resolution, you can achieve the finest results for

photographs and other high-resolution graphics, as well as solid-fill areas in charts and presentations. The

Phaser 8560 printer creates office documents with crisp text and fine-line detail every time.

CONSISTENCY

Because there are no imaging components that wear with time, the colour

output of the Phaser 8560 printer is consistent page after page and print job

after print job. The colours of your corporate logo will look the same on a

report printed in the morning as they will on a presentation generated in the

evening. The same holds true on longer-run print jobs: Copy number 100

will always look just as good as copy number 1.

COLOUR CONTROL

The Phaser 8560 printer features PANTONE®Colour approved solid-colour simulations, as well as a variety

of colour correction settings that help you manage colour output and ensure that printed pages match

output from other printing devices or computer displays. Xerox Solid Ink Technology offers a wide colour

range that strengthens colour control; solid ink output is also more resilient than other printing technologies

to changes in temperature, humidity, and media type.

MEDIA SUPPORT

The Phaser 8560 printer can easily handle a wide range of media to support the variety of document types

your busy employees produce on a regular basis. Supported media types include plain printer paper,

transparencies, labels, envelopes, card stock and business cards. Media size and weight support delivered

by the Phaser 8560 include:

Supported Sizes

• Tray 1/Multipurpose Tray — Custom sizes from 89 x 127 mm

to 216 x 356 mm

• Trays 2–4 — Selectable sizes from 140 x 216 mm to

216 x 356 mm

Supported Weights

• Tray 1/Multipurpose Tray — 60 to 220 gsm

• Trays 2–4 — 60 to 120 gsm

HOW THE XEROX PHASER 8560 EXCEEDS THE PRINT QUALITY REQUIREMENT

Performance is important when evaluating colour printers, but performance should not come at the expense of

print quality. Evaluate printer output quality for photos,graphics and text to see if a prospective printer is

capable of handling the office documents you regularly generate. Is the print quality consistent from one job

to the next? Can you control the colour output of the printer to realise the results you need?

HOW THE XEROX PHASER 8560 EXCEEDS THE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENT

Before they can realise the benefits of adopting a high-performance colour printer, customers must first

consider setup and installation steps. Is the printer easy to set up and connect to your network? Can

your employees install print drivers, and do flexible installation methods exist for both large and small

organisations, or for organisations with unique installation requirements.

PRINTER SETUP

The Phaser 8560 printer ships with easy-to-follow, graphic-based instructions

on how to remove it from its packaging, assemble it and prepare it for printing.

Printer setup is straightforward — the Phaser 8560 printer even ships with

two ink sticks preinstalled for each colour. There are no consumables to

install during setup. Once the printer is plugged in and attached to your

network, it will automatically be assigned an IP address — and you’ll be

ready to install print drivers and start printing.

PRINT DRIVER INSTALLATION

The Phaser 8560 print driver installation process is designed to provide easy

and consistent installation from all software sources, regardless of platform.

The installation process can be initiated from multiple locations:

• Phaser 8560 Installation CD • CentreWare®IS Embedded Web Server • Xerox.com download

The wizard-based driver installation process offers you three methods for selecting the printer you want to install:

• Use Xerox Walk-Up®Technology (default) — It doesn’t get easier than this. The installation

application will direct you to the Phaser 8560 you want to install. Simply select “Walk-Up Features”

and “Select for Installation,” and the rest of the process is completely automated. You don’t need

to know the printer name or its IP address.

• Select from the Following Discovered Printers — If you know the name of the printer you want

to install, select it from the list of discovered printers to install.

• Enter Printer’s IP address — If you know the IP address of the printer you want to install, enter it here

to install and that specific printer.

The Phaser 8560 print driver installation application automatically discovers what

printer configuration you are installing — as well as the presence of features like

two-sided output and additional paper trays — and makes it available in your print

driver.

For small organisations, this automated installation process makes it easy for your

employees to install their print drivers with or without IT assistance. For larger

organisations, the IT department can simply send an email to end users with a link

to CentreWare IS or the Xerox.com website, enabling them to launch the print driver

installer and follow the same simple installation process.

EVALUATE INSTALLATION

PHASER 8560 EVALUATOR GUIDE

FRONT PANEL

The Phaser 8560 offers a large, high-contrast front panel display that is simple, well-organised 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 organised to offer quick access to the most commonly used

features, with easy tab-based access to the complete feature set. Tabs are organised 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

separation pages

• Xerox Colour Correction— Offers a set of advanced features for controlling

the colour output of your Phaser 8560, with settings for matching the

colour of other printing devices and computer displays

• Troubleshooting — Settings for the PrintingScout utility and links to online

help resources

Print drivers that support True Adobe®PostScript®3™and HP®PCL®5c

emulation are bundled with the Phaser 8560. They deliver a rich feature set,

accurate colours, and support for your specific applications and workflows.

INTELLIGENT READY

Intelligent Ready is a standard software feature of the Phaser 8560. With

Intelligent Ready, there is no need to turn off the printer. The software tracks

when and how the printer is used over a rolling three-week period, which helps

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 minimising power usage in periods of nonuse.

HOW THE PHASER 8560 EXCEEDS THE EASE-OF-USE REQUIREMENT

When evaluating colour 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 minimise calls to your help desk or to customer support?

EVALUATE EASE OF USE

8PHASER 8560 EVALUATOR GUIDE

PRINTINGSCOUT

When you send a document to the Phaser 8560, the Xerox-exclusive PrintingScout utility monitors and reports

any printer condition that might prevent a print job from completing successfully. A pop-up help window pro-

vides appropriate how-to instructions, illustrations and links to help the print job owner quickly identify and

resolve his or her printing problem. This way, when end users must visit the printer, they’re completely pre-

pared to fix any problems.

AUTOMATIC NOTIFICATION

What would be better than knowing if your printer needs help before you print? How about avoiding the

problem altogether. MaiLinX email alerts automatically notify a specified recipient when a printer needs sup-

plies or maintenance. This feature will help you avoid getting caught without replacement consumables when

you need them — and also help reduce printer downtime.
