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 85,000­page-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 charge­back 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 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.

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

PHASER 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 pro­vides 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 pre­pared 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 sup­plies or maintenance. This feature will help you avoid getting caught without replacement consumables when
you need them — and also help reduce printer downtime.

PAPER AND CONSUMABLE CAPACITIES

The Phaser 8560 gives you broad flexibility when configuring the printer for your office environment. The
Phaser 8560 comes standard with a 525-sheet paper tray (allowing you to conveniently load an entire ream of
paper without running the tray completely empty) and a 100-sheet multipurpose tray for 625 sheets of total
capacity. You can also add up to two additional 525-sheet paper trays for a total capacity of up to 1,675 sheets.
The Phaser 8560 can be configured to fit both small and large workgroups that regularly print on different
media types and sizes.

Xerox offers cyan, magenta and yellow solid ink sticks in packs of three, which deliver an average of 3,400

1

standard pages. Black solid ink sticks are sold in packs of 3 sticks, which deliver an average of 3,4002standard
pages, or packs of 6 sticks, which deliver an average of 6,8002standard pages — giving customers the option
to purchase more black ink to account for the higher use of black ink in standard office documents.

CONSUMABLE REPLACEMENT

Replacing solid ink sticks in the Phaser 8560 is as simple as reloading a
stapler. Accessed via the top of the printer, each ink stick has a unique
shape to not only denote its colour but also ensure it is loaded into
the correct slot. There is no toner to spill, and no empty toner
cartridges to dispose of — solid ink technology is a clean,
efficient solution for your office’s colour printing requirements.

AUTOMATED SUPPORT

The Phaser 8560 includes the Xerox-exclusive PhaserSMART

®

utility, an automated, internet-based support and service delivery
tool. PhaserSMART leverages information from your printer to
diagnose and deliver self-support solutions. Available 24 hours a
day, seven days a week, PhaserSMART is only a mouse-click away.

Preparing to print. As the printing process

begins, the long-life maintenance roller
quickly applies a microscopic layer of
silicone oil to the heated drum for reli­able ink release.

Single pass imaging. Next, the full-width

printhead applies all colours at the same
time on the rotating drum.

Image transfer. A sheet of paper is rapidly

fed between the drum and a transfix
roller, transferring the ink to the paper.

Ink bonding. As the ink on the drum

transfers to the paper, it penetrates the
paper’s fibers, but without the spreading
of liquid inkjets or the toner scattering of
lasers. The ink cools and solidifies imme­diately, forming a strong, permanent
bond to the paper.

Two-sided printing. For automatic two-

sided printing, the paper is not fully
ejected into the exit tray but is fed back
into the printer through the duplex paper
path. The second image on the drum is
transferred to the other side of the paper.

Reloading. The ink loader draws ink

from solid ink sticks instead of a self­contained toner cartridge. Ink can be
replaced or added at any time without
taking the printer offline.

• A simple, robust, reliable printing mechanism

• Maintenance roller lasts up to 30,000 prints

(8560 Extended Maintenance Kit only)

• No complex consumables

• High-speed image transfer

• Simultaneous application of all colours

eliminates misregistration of separate cyan,
magenta, yellow, and black image layers

• High-speed image transfer

• A short, simple paper path for speed and

high reliability

• Transfer printing process yields great print

quality on a wide variety of paper types

• No fuser required

• Colourfast printing with no smearing

or drying time

• More consistent colour quality on a

wider range of media than liquid inkjet
or colour laser

• A simple, short, built-in duplex paper

path means faster two-sided printing
and fewer paper jams

• No additional paper tray required

• Easy, on-the-fly ink stick reloading for

continuous operation

• Ink loader can be “topped off” before long,

high-coverage print jobs to avoid interruptions

• More environmentally friendly; less wasteful

packaging, less waste ink by-products
