Section 1: Introducing the Xerox WorkCentre 4250/4260
Multifunction Device
Product Overview
Kick office productivity into high gear with the Xerox WorkCentre 4250/4260. It combines world-class copy, print, color scan and fax
capabilities with exceptional reliability and ease of use. It’s ideal for the busy office that needs large departmental MFP capabilities
in a letter-sized, value-priced device.
Save money, save time
Why pay for a huge, full-sized MFP when you primarily work with letter-size documents?
Get everything you would expect on a powerful Xerox device, but get it in a small size at a
small price!
Automatic two-sided printing saves paper.•
Fax forward to email feature lets you avoid extra printing.•
Toner cartridge and imaging unit are separate consumables maximizing the life of each.•
Energy save mode is always “on,” reducing your utility bill.•
No more running down the hall to make a copy: A small size means it can be located •
conveniently close to users.
ID Card Copy scans both sides of an ID card and prints them face-up on a single sheet •
of paper.
No print bottlenecks because the Print Around feature automatically holds any job •
missing resources (such as a different paper size), and prints the next job in the queue.
Multiple functions can be accessed at the same time: scan while printing or receiving an •
inbound fax, and interrupt a print job to make a copy.
Feature-rich and value-minded
The competitively priced WorkCentre 4250/4260 Multifunction Device is loaded with
features to help you manage costs without sacrificing power.
Tailored to your business requirements with configurations ranging from desktop to •
floor standing models that provide copy, print, scan, email and fax functions. Larger
finishing capabilities include collation, stapling and paper input of up to 3,100 sheets.
Speed to handle heavy demand: Copy and print as fast as 45 ppm (4250) and 55 ppm •
(4260), with the first page out in as little as 8 seconds (4250) or 6 seconds (4260).
Color scan capabilities mean you can communicate in color via email or digital file •
distribution without the additional cost.
Usage counters let you track and analyze device usage by function for greater •
cost control.
Helps your office stay green cost-effectively with Xerox Green World Alliance program; •
send your used toner cartridges to us for recycling, free of charge.
