Section 2: Evaluating Multifunction Systems Evaluate Productivity In addition to actual print engine speed, consider the things that affect overall throughput. Overall productivity considerations include multitasking capability, the speed of functions like scanning and faxing, device memory, and more. Are you able to manage the job queue, and can the system help automatically prevent downtime? Is the multifunction system optimised for productivity? Does the performance of the various features improve upon what you already had in your environment, allowing you to boost productivity while updating your infrastructure and/or consolidating devices? Does the system minimise network traffic created by the scan and print functions? Can you monitor the device functions from your desktop and at the device? How the phaser 8560MFP exceeds the productivity requirement: Overall Productivity Overall productivity encompasses both raw performance and system design. The Phaser 8560MFP delivers the performance you need to power your busy workgroup, starting with up to 30 ppm colour and black and white print speeds and up to 22 ppm colour and black and white copy speeds. The optional duplex automatic document feeder (DADF) enables fast copy and scan performance by automating the scanning of multi-page originals, and scans both sides of the page in one pass. Combined with first-page-out times of six seconds for colour prints and nine seconds for colour copies, the performance of the Phaser 8560MFP minimises the time spent by your employees waiting for the system to complete its jobs. Building on an impressive range of print, copy, scan and fax performance, the Phaser 8560MFP also offers true multitasking operation. With many multifunction systems in this class, you cannot programme a job at the front panel while the multifunction system is busy printing a print or copy job. The result is idle time spent waiting for the multifunction system front panel to become available again - this is not the case with the Phaser 8560MFP. The front panel is always available to programme the next copy, scan or fax job - even while the printer is busy with a print or copy job. Programme and scan the next copy job, send a scan to your PC, or programme and scan a fax - all of these features remain available, keeping you productive and avoiding bottlenecks at the system. The Phaser 8560MFP includes a number of additional features to maximise productivity and minimise downtime. These capabilities include: • Collation - Multiple sets of multi-page jobs automatically collated and ready for distribution, saving time and hassle. • Intelligent Ready - Tracks usage patterns to ensure it is ready to print when you are, automatically warming up during times of typical office activity and entering power saver mode during times of typical office inactivity. • Job Pipelining - Simultaneously print one job while processing the next. • PhaserSMART® - Remote diagnostic tool provides automated internet-based support. • PrintingScout™ - Instantly displays pop-up help messages if attention is needed during print jobs, with instructions on how to resolve issues. • Smart Trays - Automatically pulls media from the appropriate tray based on the media size and type specified by the application. • Solid Ink Supplies - Solid ink sticks are quickly and easily loaded into the system - like loading staples into a stapler, minimising downtime when supplies need replenishment. Solid ink can be topped off at any time - so gear up for that long print job or top off all the ink when one gets low. • Support Centre - An electronic "toolkit" installed with the driver that allows access to all user documentation, tools and utilities. Print Features At its core, the Phaser 8560MFP is a workgroup-ready network colour printer with fast printing speeds and without a speed penalty for colour - up to 30 ppm print speed for both colour and black and white and a first-page-out time as fast as six seconds for colour. Optional automatic two-sided printing saves paper and gives your printed materials a professional image. The combination of a print resolution up to 2400 FinePoint™ and the vibrant, glossy colour of solid ink enables the Phaser 8560MFP to deliver excellent print quality.
