Section 2: Evaluating Workgroup Laser Printers
Evaluating Print Speed
By definition, a workgroup printer is a shared resource. Typically, a networked
laser printer is shared by up to 25 people on a regular basis. It is also common for the
the network to contain multiple computer platforms, such as the various versions of
Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, Unix, or Linux.
By far the most popular network used is
Ethernet with TCP/IP protocols. But even with
multiple users on a variety of platforms, each
with their own unique applications and needs,
all networked printer users require three things
from their printers:
• Print speed high enough to maintain ofce
productivity.
• Hassle-free printing — the more the printer
can take care of itself the better.
• Value — small and large businesses all want
a good return on their investments.
This section of the Evaluator Guide will look
at each of these areas and suggest ways to
evaluate a printer’s performance against those
requirements. Do this for all workgroup laser
printers you consider and you’ll see how the
Phaser 4510 laser printer exceeds expectations
on all counts.
Evaluating print speed
Consider print engine speed.
What is the printer’s rated engine speed? Note
that this does not tell the whole story about the
performance of the printer.
Consider file download and image-processing
speed.
Is the printer able to connect to high-speed
networks? Can the printer quickly handle all file
formats that might be sent to it? How fast can
the image be processed and sent to the print
engine? Different manufacturers use different
data-compression and memory-management
techniques to process the file and print the
results. Considering all these factors together
will give you a feel for the printer’s total
throughput capability.
How the Phaser 4510 exceeds the
print speed requirement
Engine Speed
With a print speed of 45 pages per minute, the
Phaser 4510 races through long or multiset
jobs, avoiding print job logjams from multiple
users. And the true 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution
at full-rated speed means you won’t sacrifice
print quality for print speed.
Processing Speed
The 533 MHz image processor provides a
first-page-out time of as fast as 8 seconds and
handles even complex jobs quickly to help
maintain office productivity. Memory of up to
512 MB, it handles large or multiple jobs with
ease. Add the Hard Drive Kit (standard on the
DX) for job pipelining, which prints one job
while processing the next.

Evaluating Ease of Use
The Phaser 4510 printer incorporates most of the powerful Phaser features
developed for our advanced color printer products. From its simple installation
features, to its PrintingScout™ utility, from our unique real time print monitor to our
proactive help software, the Phaser 4510 is packed with big printer features. The
Phaser 4510 can even troubleshoot on its own with PhaserSMART
internet-based automated support system.
®
, our unique
Consider network installation.
Will technical help be required?
Consider the types of documents your users
typically produce.
Do they need a variety of media capabilities
(i.e. preprinted letterhead on ne bond paper,
Is it easy to check the consumable status before
committing to a large or important print job?
Consider what tools are provided to help
manage the printer over the network.
How easy is it to learn to use and manage? Can
it be easily controlled from not only the network
but also its front panel?
Easy Installation
The Phaser 4510 printer’s driver installation
process is designed to provide an easy and
consistent installation process from all soft-
ware sources, regardless of platform. Features
include:
• Automatic discovery of the printer on your
network
• Automatic port creation
• Automatic printer model and feature
detection
• Automatic driver installation
• Automatic IP address assignment
Install from the web technology distributes
software from any of the following sources:
• Product CD
• CentreWare IS Embedded Web Server
• Xerox website
Media Flexibility
The Phaser 4510 handles media weights from
16–40 lb. bond to 50–80 lb. cover (64–216
gsm). Sizes can range from 3 x 5 in. up to 8.5 x
14 in. (76 x 127 mm up to 216 x 356 mm), as
well as user-definable custom sizes in between.
The Phaser 4510 prints on plain paper, transparencies, laser-quality labels, cover stock,
and recycled paper. You can feed envelopes
from any tray, with no special envelope feeder
required. With the Phaser 4510, you can even
preprint forms on carbonless paper. For details
about Xerox and Phaser branded supplies, visit
www.office.xerox.com/supplies.
Users will like the 1,800-sheet input capacity
(maximum) divided into 4 sources for more
uninterrupted printing and fewer user interventions. They’ll always print on the media they
expect thanks to the Phaser 4510’s Smart
Trays technology. The printer driver knows what
media is in each tray and what the MS Office
application is set for, and then matches them
perfectly. No more wasted time or materials.
Access
All media and consumable replacement
access takes place at the front of the printer.
Consumable levels can be easily checked in
either the print driver or on the front panel.
Printer Management
When you send a document to the Phaser
4510, our exclusive PrintingScout utility monitors and reports any printer condition that can
prevent a print job from completing successfully. A pop-up Help window provides appropriate how-to instructions, illustrations, and links to
help end users quickly identify and resolve their
own printing problems. This way, you’ll go to
the printer completely prepared - no surprises.
What would be better than knowing if your
printer needs help before you print? How about
avoiding the problem altogether? MaiLinX
email alerts can automatically send an email to
a specified person when a printer needs supplies
or maintenance - ensuring the printer is always
ready.
The printer’s built-in CentreWare IS Embedded
Web Server is a website inside the printer. It
allows users to check the printer’s status and
engage its job accounting and troubleshooting
features, using a web browser such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Users
only need the printer’s IP address to connect to
the printer.
And CentreWare Web is designed to provide
enterprise management solutions for all devices
connected to your network - not just Xerox.
Install, troubleshoot, configure and produce
asset reports for all devices. Simply install
CenterWare Web on any computer running
Windows 2003, XP or 2000 connected to
your network and gain access from anywhere
on your network through any standard web
browser.

Section 2: Evaluating Color Printers
Evaluating Value
Speed and intelligence features must be balanced against the total cost of
owning and operating a networked printer over time. Consider the true purchase
price. Include everything needed for a workgroup printer to begin printing right away.
If extra-cost add-ons are needed, such as a network card or special cables, then these
costs must be added to the original purchase price.
Factor in the cost of operation.
The total cost-per-print can be every bit as
important as the purchase price. It is especially
important to consider all the consumables the
printer may require over its lifetime, and to
calculate the contribution each of these items
makes to the average cost per page.
Estimate the cost of keeping the printer
printing.
Start with durability: Does the duty cycle indicate that the printer can handle a large volume
of printing? And don’t forget the “hidden” costs,
especially how often the printer needs attention
from users and whether any special skills are
required to change consumables or troubleshoot problems.
How the Phaser 4510 exceeds the
value requirement
Inclusive Price
With a base price of $899*, the Phaser 4510
packs in more standard features and capabilities you need than any other printer in this
class. By combining a fast print engine, fast
processor, high resolution, high duty cycle, and
a large and expandable paper input capacity,
you get a powerful office productivity tool.
Operating Costs
Operating the printer won’t break the bank
either. At under 1.2¢** per page, the Phaser
4510 provides an economical printing solution
for any office.
Eliminate Hidden Costs
Finally, the ability to handle peak loads of up to
200,000 pages per month, means the Phaser
4510 has the strength and reliability to handle
even the heaviest network loads. Choose highcapacity print cartridges to minimize user interventions. If service is required, the Phaser 4510
includes as a standard, an on-site warranty to
minimize down time.
Xerox belongs to the Green World Alliance program so your Phaser 4510 will have a minimal
impact on our environment as well. Xerox offers
free recycling for all your Phaser 4510 Genuine
Xerox print cartridges.
