Color Multifunction Printers
Print Quality
Many factors determine the quality of the print output delivered by a color multifunction printer. Printhead technology and image resolution, color registration and accuracy, and intuitive, user-friendly color adjustments are all key components of a printer’s ability to deliver the results you demand to bring your high-end color print jobs in-house.
How the WorkCentre® 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 multifunction printer exceeds the print quality requirement
Color registration and accuracy
With an ASIC driver to control the light intensity of the LEDs in each printhead, HiQ LED offers better dot-to-dot intensity and timing control,
Precise Color Registration
The WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545
/ 7556 digitally adjusts for mis-registration.
Notice the white edges on the “G” and “M” produced by the laser device. The WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 automatically makes the necessary adjustments.

and produces more precise color registration.
HiQ LED handles mis-registration issues automatically, simultaneously and continuously, from LED to LED. In fact, tests show that HiQ LED technology corrects color mis-registration even better than comparable laser printers.
Plus, true Adobe® PostScript® 3™, PCL® and XPS give you the power to print visually rich documents reliably.
Printhead technology and image resolution
The WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 multifunction printer features the new
Xerox HiQ LED printhead, which offers major improvements in image quality.
The “brain” behind the entire print-head process is Xerox’s new application specifi 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
diode’s light intensity and timing. This ensures uniformity across the entire LED array—and produces consistently high print quality without compromising the printer’s high-speed output. Whether printing spreadsheets, presentations or customer collaterals, the WorkCentre 7525
/ 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 delivers truly impressive results.
Plus, Xerox EA Ultra Low-Melt toner—chemically grown to produce the market’s smallest, most uniformly shaped particles—delivers sharper clarity, excellent shadowing and outstanding
fi ne-line detail.
Unique color control
Our “Color By Words,” a powerful-yet-intuitive color technology, takes the guesswork out of optimizing your color print jobs. With Color By Words there is no need to manipulate source fi les. Users simply select the desired color modifi cations from a drop-down list—such as “green colors a lot more green” or “red colors a lot more saturated”—and the image is automatically adjusted.
Original photo not right? Use the Color
By Words drop-down list and choose “yellow-green colors a lot more green,” and “red colors a lot more saturated.” Picture-perfect results.

Section 1: Evaluating Workgroup
Color Multifunction Printers
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 support 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 traffic? 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 black- and-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 configurations 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 first-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 first 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 specific needs.
File compression
The WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 lets you access scanned documents faster, with advanced file compression techniques that dramatically shrink file sizes, reduce storage space requirements and cut down on your network’s document traffic.
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.
Monitoring system status
The WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 multifunction printer delivers up-to-date information on every job — print, copy, scan, email or fax, plus in-depth device status details. Whether at the device or from the desktop, users can easily manage documents and jobs through an integrated job queue.
