Section 1: Evaluating Workgroup

Color Multifunction Printers

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 sup- port the demands of your busiest departments? Is the device appropriately sized for the entire workgroup? Can important features be used simultaneously, or are employ- ees 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 deliv- ers 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 program- ming 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.
