Xerox HiQ LED printhead, which offers major
improvements in image quality.
The “brain” behind the entire print-head process
is Xerox’s new application speci c integrated
circuit (ASIC) driver chip. This high-performance
driver precisely controls the intensity and
timing LEDs in each printhead to achieve true
1200 x 2400 dpi resolution—print quality
that’s equivalent to, and often better than,
comparable laser systems. By continually and
automatically monitoring information about
each LED, the ASIC driver can adjust each
®

Productivity
In addition to actual print engine speed, consider the factors that affect overall
throughput. Are the device’s scanning and faxing features powerful enough to sup-
port the demands of your busiest departments? Is the device appropriately sized for
the entire workgroup? Can important features be used simultaneously, or are employees forced to wait for the device to become “free”? Is the system designed to minimize
network trafc? Can device functions be monitored from users’ desktops and/or from
the front panel user interface?
How the WorkCentre® 7525 / 7530
/ 7535 / 7545 / 7556 multifunction
printer exceeds the productivity
requirement
Speed
The productivity of the WorkCentre 7525 /
7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 starts with its fast
print engine. The WorkCentre 7500 series delivers a print speed of up to 55 ppm for blackand-white and 50 ppm color output. Powerful
scanning capabilities include scanning at up
to 70 ipm, and support for multiple scanning
destinations. Duplex printing is just as fast
as printing single-sided documents, and the
Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF)
includes paper capacity of up to 110 sheets. All
WorkCentre 7500 series congurations come
with a powerful 1.5 GHz processor and 2 GB of
system plus 1 GB page memory. The controller
enables the WorkCentre 7500 series to deliver
fast rst-page-out times as fast as 5.8 seconds
for black-and-white and 7.2 seconds for color.
Plus, our Smart RIP technology allows the rst
page to start printing while subsequent pages
are still processing.
Network performance
Performance isn’t limited to raw document
feeds and speeds. The WorkCentre 7525 / 7530
/ 7535 / 7545 / 7556 multifunction printer
features a high-performance processor plus
a 160 GB hard drive, delivering the necessary
horsepower to process your large, complex
jobs. In addition, 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet
connectivity comes standard for shared network
printing, and optional adapters for 10Base5
and 802.11b wireless Ethernet ensure you can
connect WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545
/ 7556 device according to your workgroup’s
specic needs.
File compression
The WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 /
7556 lets you access scanned documents faster,
with advanced le compression techniques that
dramatically shrink le sizes, reduce storage
space requirements and cut down on your
network’s document trafc.
Concurrency
The new WorkCentre controller’s advanced
design also helps avoid bottlenecks at the front
panel. Concurrent operation means you won’t
have to wait until a long print job is complete
before programming a fax, scan or copy job. By
keeping the front panel available for programming while the print engine is busy, users
stay productive and avoid idle time. Scan and
fax jobs can be programmed and executed
without waiting for the print engine to become
available, while newly programmed copy jobs
will join the job queue and be executed when
earlier jobs are completed.

Color Multifunction Printers
Installation and Deployment
Installing and deploying a fleet of multifunction printers throughout your
organization is a potentially time-consuming, complicated task. The process isn’t
limited to physically placing the units in their new environments, but also includes
integrating the devices with the existing network infrastructure. Also, consider the
process required to deploy printing and scanning services to your users, and how
automated that process can be.
How the WorkCentre® 7525 /
7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556
multifunction printer exceeds
the installation and deployment
requirements
Installation
When you choose Xerox, you can rest assured
that your equipment will be delivered and
installed into your environment to your
specications and expectations. All networkenabled congurations include an embedded
10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet connection with
innovative features like auto IP addressing,
device naming, and Ethernet speed sensing to
provide simple and automatic installation on
networks. These features make the WorkCentre
quick and easy to get up and running.
Management and system setup can be accomplished through a variety of means, including
the easy, wizard-based process found within
Xerox CentreWare
WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556
can integrate with third-party management
applications like Unicentre
NetView
and HP WebJetAdmin. Cloning capability allows
fleets of devices to be installed with identical
settings, eliminating the need to set up each
system individually.

Deployment
With the WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 /
7545 / 7556 multifunction printer, print and
scan drivers can be deployed centrally, thereby
eliminating the need for IT staff to perform
desk-to-desk manual installation of the driver
software. In many cases, existing Xerox drivers
on your network can work with your new hardware, potentially saving the step of updating
your users’ driver software altogether. Again,
wizards are provided within CentreWare Web to
aid in installing, troubleshooting, and upgrading
your users’ driver software, freeing up your IT
staff for more pressing projects.
Plus, the WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 /
7545 / 7556 multifunction printer supports two
innovative new print drivers that can greatly
simplify installing, managing and supporting
printers and multifunction devices on the net-
work, and increase end-user productivity:
• Xerox Mobile Express Driver™ (X-MED) makes
it easy for mobile users to nd, use and man-
age Xerox and non-Xerox devices in every new
location. Plug into a new network, and X-MED
automatically discovers available printers and
provides status and capability information.
Save a list of “favorite” printers for each location, store application print settings for use on
any printer in any network, and greatly reduce
mobile support calls to IT.
• Xerox Global Print Driver
universal print driver that lets IT adminis-
trators install, upgrade and manage Xerox
and non-Xerox devices from a single driver.
It provides a consistent, easy-to-use interface for end-users, reducing the number of
support calls, and simplifying print services
management.
In addition, these drivers provide users with a
consistent single interface for all printers, with
real-time, dynamic reports of printer status. As
a result, users can easily identify the best printer
for their needs, quickly choose the correct
options and see updated consumables status
without the assistance of IT. To learn more, and
download X-GPD and X-MED free, visit xerox.
Offi ce productivity relies on tools that do their jobs day in and day out. Consider
how often you need to intervene to replace paper or other consumables or to clear
jams. How easy is that intervention, and how long is the device typically down? If
outside assistance is required, how easy is it to schedule and how long do you have
to wait? Is the device a reliable network citizen? Has it been tested and certi ed by
independent industry participants?
How the WorkCentre® 7525 /
7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556
multifunction printer exceeds
the reliability requirement
Day-to-day reliability
Simple paper paths and a minimum of moving parts mean there is very little that can go
wrong. Any paper jams or misfeeds that do
occur are all accessed from the front of the
machine, making these easy issues for users to
resolve without calling the IT Help Desk. Most
components that wear out over time can simply
be replaced without a service call. You’re up and
running without delay.
Advancements that contribute to the reliability
of the WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 /
7556 multifunction printer:
• The short, straight paper path also allows
the WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 /
7556 multifunction printer to reliably handle
heavyweight paper — up to 16 lb. bond
to 110 lb. cover (55 to 300 gsm) from the
Bypass Tray, and 16 lb. bond to 140 lb. index
(60 to 256 gsm) from Trays 1 through 4.
• Easy-access Smart Kit
units include:

Service / support
Building on the reliability that is engineered
into the WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 /
7545 / 7556 multifunction printers, Xerox has
trained and developed a sophisticated servicedelivery network that helps you maintain your
equipment, address equipment issues you may
encounter, and train you and your users on how
to get the most out of your equipment.
With easy front-door access, the WorkCentre
7500 series multifunction printer’s Smart Kit
consumables are as simple to replace as standard
toner cartridges.

Common Criteria certification
The National Information Assurance
Partnership (NIAP) is a U.S. government initia-
tive to meet the security testing of Common
Criteria, and is a collaboration between the
National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) and the National Security Agency (NSA).
Common Criteria for IT Security Evaluation is an
internationally recognized methodology (ISO
15408) for evaluating the security claims of
hardware and software vendors. The ve major
elements of Common Criteria are availability,
integrity, condentiality, accountability and
non-repudiation. Xerox submits its products,
along with highly structured statements describing the products’ information security capabilities, for validation by an independent, government-sponsored laboratory for testing and
certication. Certication is a costly, rigorous
and time-consuming process — the WorkCentre
7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 is pending
certication.
Check the Xerox security pages (www.xerox.
com/security) or the Common Criteria Portal
(www.niap-ccevs.org), for more up-to-date information. Xerox currently has more MFP products
certied than any other vendor in the industry.
