EVALUATE PRINTING PERFORMANCE

Workgroup-class colour printers need to deliver a level of performance that can support a heavy daily workload. This includes raw print speed, as well as print job processing speed. Is the print controller powerful enough to support your applications? Is the printer designed to be shared by employees in busy workgroups? Does the printer provide the right media support for your applications?

HOW THE XEROX PHASER 8560 EXCEEDS THE PRINTING PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENT

OVERALL PRINT PERFORMANCE

The Phaser 8560 is a high-performance colour printer based on Xerox-exclusive solid ink technology. It is designed to handle the daily demands of busy workgroups within both small and large companies. Most importantly, it is designed with user flexibility foremost in mind. Users don’t want to be limited to a single print speed or print mode, since some of their print jobs may demand maximum speed while others require the best image quality possible. The Phaser 8560 colour printer incorporates this need for flexibility by offering four print modes: fast colour, standard, enhanced (default mode), and high-resolution/photo mode.

The Phaser 8560 printer delivers not only options but also performance. With print speeds as fast as 30 ppm, long print jobs can be tackled quickly. The other key performance metric for colour printers is first-page-out time, and the Phaser 8560 delivers here as well, with a fast first-page-out time of as little as 5 seconds. For busy workgroups that regularly print a mix of long and short print jobs, the Phaser 8560 packs the performance needed to process jobs quickly and keep your office productive.

POWERFUL CONTROLLER

The Phaser 8560 controller is based on a 600 MHz PowerPC RISC processor with 256 MB of memory, standard (512 MB of memory, maximum). This enables the Phaser 8560 printer to quickly process complex print jobs and deliver its extremely fast first-page-out time.

BUILT TO BE SHARED

With standard support for 10/100Base-TX Ethernet networking, an 85,000- page-per-month duty cycle, and a customisable paper capacity from 625 to 1,675 pages, the Phaser 8560 is truly built to be shared. Network administration tools are provided to help IT departments track printer use, facilitate charge- back billings, and plan for future printer deployment.

8560 specifications

The Xerox 8560 is an advanced color laser printer that exemplifies reliability and high-performance printing solutions tailored for demanding office environments. Known for its impressive speed and vivid output quality, the Xerox 8560 is widely recognized for its ability to handle large print volumes without compromising on quality.

One of the standout features of the Xerox 8560 is its print speed. Capable of producing up to 45 pages per minute for black and white documents and up to 40 pages per minute for color prints, the printer is designed to enhance productivity. This performance allows teams to meet tight deadlines without experiencing bottlenecks.

The printer’s advanced resolution of up to 1200 x 2400 dpi ensures that images and text are crisp and clear, making it ideal for producing marketing materials, presentations, and professional documents. This high-resolution capability is complemented by the printer’s ability to handle various media types and sizes, including envelopes, labels, and heavy cardstock, providing versatility for an array of print jobs.

Incorporating Xerox's proprietary solid ink technology, the Xerox 8560 utilizes solid sticks of ink rather than traditional cartridges. This unique approach not only enhances the quality of color output but also reduces waste, as users can benefit from more efficient ink usage. The vivid colors produced are especially advantageous for color-intensive applications, where striking visuals are essential.

Another key characteristic of the Xerox 8560 is its connectivity options. It supports USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi, enabling seamless integration into any office network. Additionally, it supports mobile printing technologies, including Apple AirPrint and Google Cloud Print, allowing users to print documents directly from their smartphones or tablets.

The user-friendly interface, characterized by a large color touch screen, simplifies navigation and operation. The printer also includes features such as duplex printing, which automatically prints on both sides of the paper, contributing to cost savings and environmental sustainability.

Lastly, security features such as password protection and secure printing options ensure that sensitive documents are protected, making the Xerox 8560 a trusted choice for organizations that prioritize data security. With its blend of speed, quality, and advanced technologies, the Xerox 8560 stands out as a robust solution for any business looking to enhance its printing capabilities.
