Section 2: Evaluating Black-and-White Laser Printers Evaluate Productivity Productivity is a critical consideration when evaluating which printer to purchase for your office. Does the printer deliver the level of performance required to support the workload of a busy single user or a small workgroup? Does it produce sufficient print quality? Can the printer be expanded to meet a workgroup's evolving needs, and does it offer the media flexibility to support a variety of jobs? How the Phaser 3600 laser printer exceeds productivity requirement: Printing performance With a fast print speed of up to 40 ppm, even the heaviest workloads are handled with ease by the Phaser 3600 laser printer. And, the printer's powerful 400 MHz processor can receive a rapid succession of simple and complex print jobs while maintaining all-day productivity. Plus, RAM collation speeds up larger print jobs by quickly processing multiple sets of multipage documents. For average print jobs of three pages or less, the most important specification is first-page-out time, and the Phaser 3600 laser printer delivers in as few as 9 seconds. Print productivity is further enhanced with even more advanced features, like booklet printing, N-up, collation, secure print and watermarks. Print quality The Phaser 3600 laser printer outputs at 600 x 600 dpi (up to 1200 x 1200 enhanced image quality), producing excellent results without compromising the printer's outstanding speed. Whether printing spreadsheets, presentations or customer collaterals, the Phaser 3600 laser printer delivers truly impressive print quality. Expandability The Phaser 3600 laser printer offers more printing features for fast-paced business on a budget. Multiple configurations are available to meet the needs of a busy single user or a small workgroup, while more options further expand the printer's capabilities. For those users who print a high volume of large, complex files, controller memory can be expanded to a maximum of 512 MB with 64 MB, 128 MB, or 256 MB upgrades. Plus, a wireless network adapter can be added to allow easy integration with any wireless networking environment. For longer periods of uninterrupted printing, consider increasing paper capacity by including an additional 500-sheet feeder, for a total paper capacity of 1,100 sheets. Media support The WorkCentre 3600 laser printer offers scalable paper capacity to handle the diverse needs of offices of all sizes. Paper capacity starts at 600 sheets, with an optional maximum capacity of 1,100 sheets. Paper capacity and media support offered by the WorkCentre 3600 laser printer include: Standard trays: • Tray 1 (Multipurpose tray): Up to 100 sheets; custom sizes from 3 x 5 in.
