10 Xerox Phaser and WorkCentre Small-Business-Class Color Printers and Multifunction Printers Evaluator GuideEvaluating ProductivityPrinting and CopyingThe basic printing and copying productivitythat a device can deliver is a critical consid-eration when evaluating which color printeror multifunction printer to purchase for youroffice.Does the device deliver the level of perfor-mance required to support the demands ofa busy single user or small workteam?Does it offer the flexibility to create moreoffice document possibilities? Can it beexpanded in the future to include additionalfeatures for your increasing workload, such asexpanded memory?Are there work-saving features designed toimprove office efficiency?Look for the following performance attributesand helpful features when comparing ourlineup of small-business-class Phaser ® andWorkCentre ® color printers and multifunctionprinters.PerformanceOutput speedMeasured in pages-per-minute (ppm), adevice’s output speed is specified for bothcolor and black-and-white pages.First-page-out-timeFor average print jobs of three pages or less,the most important specification is first-page-out-time, which is the time it takes for thedevice to receive and process print or copydata, and produce the first page.Adobe ® PostScript ® 3™PostScript is a page description languagethat acts as an interpreter inside the printeror multifunction printer. Because processingoccurs within the device, there is less networktraffic and increased efficiency.PCL ®PCL (Printer Command Language) is a pagedescription language that functions in similarfashion to that of Adobe PostScript. Mostcommonly found with color printers andmultifunction printers are PCL versions 5c, 5eand/or 6.ProcessorThe faster a device’s internal processor(measured in MHz), the quicker it is to printcomplex documents.FlexibilityExpandable MemorySeveral of the printers and multifunc-tion printers discussed in this guide allowthe installation of additional RAM, whichincreases a device’s print productivity andenables more advanced features.Automatic two-sided printingWith automatic two-sided printing, multi-page print jobs are automatically printedon the front and back side of each sheet ofpaper for increased efficiency and reducedpaper usage.Booklet printingWith booklet printing, a printer or multifunc-tion printer formats printed documents, suchas brochures or handouts, for folding intobooklets to create professional-lookingcollaterals in-house.N-up printing, N-up copyingWith N-up printing and N-up copying,multiple pages are reduced in size and thenprinted/copied on a single sheet of paper.This feature is especially useful when output-ting presentations or numerous thumbnailimages, or when trying to conserve paper.Poster printing, poster copyingPoster printing and poster copying enlargean image by printing/copying portions of itonto multiple pages, which can be securedtogether to create a poster.ID Card CopyCopy both sides of an ID card, driver’s licenseor other small document and print onto asingle sheet of paper.Run BlackWhen one or more color toner cartridgesbecome depleted, the Run Black featureallows the printer or multifunction printer tocontinue printing black-and-white documentswithout interruption.Work-saving featuresRAM collationBy using the printer’s or multifunctionprinter’s RAM to collate multiple sets ofmulti-page print jobs, RAM collation elimi-nates the need to manually collate docu-ments after the print job is completed.Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)An ADF allows you to load a stack of originalsfor automatic copying, scanning or faxing atthe touch of a button. ADF capacities rangefrom 35 sheets to 50 sheets for this classof Phaser and WorkCentre multifunctionprinters.Proof printWhen producing multiple sets of the sameprint job, the proof print feature allows youto print the first set, check it for accuracy, andthen either release or delete the remainingsets using the device’s front panel.Consider efficiency tools to enhance printing and copying capabilities.
