Evaluate Printing Performance

High quality color printing cannot come at the expense of productivity — the two must go together. A color printer must be able to handle a wide variety of documents quickly and reliably. A color printer must keep up with the performance demands of a shared network environment.

Measure overall performance.

To accurately measure overall performance in a real workgroup environment, send a mix of black-and-white and color documents of different length and complexity to the printer over a standard Ethernet network. This combines the network transmission time, first page out time, and multi-copy engine speed to paint a clear picture of actual overall performance.

Calculate print job throughput.

Print job throughput is the time it takes from clicking the print button on your computer screen to the final delivery of the color document to the output tray, sometimes called click-to-clunk. Raw print speed is only a part of the total print time; image-processing speed, particularly of large, complex images, can be even more important to maximizing throughput. Test for large, complex images.

Consider color print speed.

Since color printing, rather than black-and-white printing, is the primary use of most color printers, it makes sense to pay attention to the color print speed. Start with the rated engine speed, but be sure to investigate the total color and black-and-white throughput, including image processing speed and first page out time.

HOW THE PHASER 6300 AND PHASER 6350 EXCEED THE

PRINTING PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENT:

With print speed up to 26 ppm in color and 36 ppm black and white, the Phaser 6300 printers stand up to the demands of most office workgroups. The Phaser 6350 printers extend color printing up to 36 ppm so there is no speed penalty for being creative and adding color to your documents.

Both the Phaser 6300 and 6350 printers fly through big and complex jobs thanks to a common 800 MHz Power PC Risk Processor. With first page out times as fast as 12 and 10 seconds, both printer families start printing faster than the competition. Printing first, and printing faster means the jobs are done sooner – a real productivity advantage.

Both the Phaser 6300 and 6350 printers handle media weights from 60 to 216 gsm, and sizes from

3.5x 5.5 in. to 8.5 x 35.45 in. as well as all common office envelopes, labels, business cards, glossy media, and card stock. And an input capacity of up to 2350-sheets assures the office of more uninterrupted printing

6300, 6350 specifications

The Xerox 6350 and 6300 are robust color multifunction printers designed primarily for medium to large workgroups, combining high-quality output with comprehensive features aimed at enhancing productivity. These machines illustrate Xerox's commitment to delivering innovative technology that meets the evolving needs of businesses.

The Xerox 6350 stands out with its exceptional color printing capabilities, providing vibrant and accurate prints with a resolution of up to 1200 x 2400 dpi. This model is equipped with advanced laser technology that ensures sharp text and detailed graphics, making it ideal for documents that demand a professional appearance. The printer boasts a fast print speed, reaching up to 30 pages per minute in both color and black-and-white, which significantly reduces waiting times and increases workflow efficiency.

On the other hand, the Xerox 6300 shares many features with the 6350 but is slightly geared towards smaller workgroups. It also employs the same advanced printing technology, delivering high-quality color prints with comparable resolution capabilities. The printer operates at impressive speeds, capable of producing up to 28 pages per minute, ensuring that users can keep up with heavy printing demands without sacrificing print quality.

Both models come with a user-friendly interface that includes a large touchscreen display, making it easy to navigate through various functions, including printing, scanning, and copying. These printers support a variety of media sizes and types, from business cards to banners, enhancing their versatility in handling different printing tasks.

One of the key technologies incorporated in both the 6350 and 6300 is the Xerox ConnectKey technology. This feature provides enhanced connectivity options, allowing users to print from mobile devices and access cloud services seamlessly. Additionally, the printers support advanced security features to protect sensitive information, making them suitable for environments that handle confidential documents.

In terms of scanning capabilities, both models offer fast and efficient duplex scanning, allowing users to scan both sides of a document simultaneously. This feature is particularly useful for archiving and digitizing paper documents, contributing to a more efficient paperless office.

Overall, the Xerox 6350 and 6300 models are designed to meet the demands of modern workplaces by combining high performance, versatility, and advanced technology. With their robust features and reliable output, these printers are exceptional choices for any organization looking to enhance its document management capabilities.
