Xerox manual Evaluate Ease Of Use, HOW THE PHASER 8560 EXCEEDS THE EASE-OF-USE REQUIREMENT

EVALUATE EASE OF USE

When evaluating colour printers, it is important to think about ease of use from a variety of angles. Are the printer and print driver simple for your employees to learn, and do they help users solve issues and avoid downtime? Does the printer include features that eliminate interruptions? Are consumables easy to locate and replace? Is automated support offered to minimise calls to your help desk or to customer support?

HOW THE PHASER 8560 EXCEEDS THE EASE-OF-USE REQUIREMENT

FRONT PANEL

The Phaser 8560 offers a large, high-contrast front panel display that is simple, well-organised and backlit for comfortable viewing. The front panel offers menu-based navigation features and information, with options such as walk-up features, paper tray setup, printer setup, troubleshooting and shutdown.

The front panel is also a valuable resource for help topics. Pressing the “?” button brings up a contextual help message that explains whatever menu function or message is currently displayed. Further, if the Phaser 8560 needs attention, the front panel will display graphic and text instructions on what you need to do to get it back up and printing.

PRINT DRIVERS

The Phaser 8560 print drivers are intuitively organised to offer quick access to the most commonly used features, with easy tab-based access to the complete feature set. Tabs are organised by:

•Layout — The default driver tab, settings for page orientation, two-sided printing and N-up printing

•Paper/Quality — Paper selection settings and status, as well as options for print quality and cover pages

•Output Options — Settings for walk-up features like secure and proof printing and insertion of separation pages

•Xerox Colour Correction— Offers a set of advanced features for controlling the colour output of your Phaser 8560, with settings for matching the colour of other printing devices and computer displays

•Troubleshooting — Settings for the PrintingScout utility and links to online help resources

Print drivers that support True Adobe® PostScript® 3™ and HP® PCL® 5c emulation are bundled with the Phaser 8560. They deliver a rich feature set, accurate colours, and support for your specific applications and workflows.

INTELLIGENT READY

Intelligent Ready is a standard software feature of the Phaser 8560. With Intelligent Ready, there is no need to turn off the printer. The software tracks when and how the printer is used over a rolling three-week period, which helps

the printer learn to automatically place itself into standby and power-saving modes during periods of nonuse. The printer will automatically return to its ready mode just prior to an expected use period, avoiding any warm-up time and minimising power usage in periods of nonuse.
