Xerox 5225 manual Evaluate Productivity

Evaluate Productivity

In addition to actual print engine speed, consider attributes that affect overall throughput. Are the copy, print, scan and fax features powerful enough to support the demands of busy workgroups? Does the MFP include other capabilities to increase users’ productivity, like expanded paper capacity and a Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) for processing originals? Does the MFP come ready to connect to your network? Is the device appropriately sized for the entire workgroup? Does the MFP deliver the image quality users require for high-quality business output? Does the MFP stay available for programming even while busy with other tasks? Can device functions be monitored from a desktop and/or at the device?

How the WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs exceed the productivity requirement

Performance

The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs deliver fast output that quickly processes heavy workloads, with speeds of up to 25 / 30 ppm. Multipage and double-sided copy, scan and fax jobs are quickly processed with a 75-sheet DADF, which minimizes time spent feeding originals into the device. A first-page-out time (FPOT) as fast as 4.3 seconds means less waiting for jobs to begin.

Performance isn’t limited to raw document feeds and speeds. The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 Printer/Copier configuration utilizes a Power PC 333 MHz network controller with 512 MB of memory and a 40 GB hard drive; it’s built to process large, complex jobs. In addition, 10/100Base-TX Ethernet connectivity comes standard for high-speed network deployment.

The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs are network-friendly, as well. With RAM collation, files are sent over the network just once, no matter how many sets are printed. Job pipelining optimizes system performance by allowing the device to process print jobs even if the print engine is busy with an earlier job.

Image Quality

With up to 600 x 600 dpi copy resolution and up to 1200 x 1200 dpi print resolution, the WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs generate high-quality copies and prints with crisp text and images. Plus, Xerox Emulsion Aggregation High Grade (EA-HG) toner — chemically grown to produce smaller, more uniformly sized particles — delivers excellent shadowing and outstanding fine-line detail.

The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs also feature multiple page description languages (PDLs), including emulations for PCL® 5e and PCL® 6, and optional Adobe® PostScript® 3™.

Concurrency

The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs’ network controller helps prevent device bottlenecks. 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. By keeping the front panel available for programming while the print engine is busy, users can stay productive and avoid idle time waiting for the MFP.

Monitoring System Status

With the WorkCentre 5225 / 5230, up-to-date information on every processed job — print, copy, scan, email or fax — plus in-depth device information, is always at users’ fingertips. Whether at the device or from a desktop, documents and jobs can be managed through an integrated job queue with a few mouse-clicks or button pushes.
