Section 1: Evaluating Work GroupColour Multifunction SystemsPrint QualityMany factors determine the quality of the print output delivered by acolour multifunction system. Printhead technology and image resolution, colourregistration and accuracy, and intuitive, user-friendly colour adjustments are all keycomponents of a printer’s ability to deliver the results you demand to bring yourhigh-end colour print jobs in-house.How the WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556multifunction system exceedsthe print quality requirementColour registration and accuracyWith an ASIC driver to control the lightintensity of the LEDs in each printhead, HiQLED offers better dot-to-dot intensity andtiming control, and produces more precisecolour registration.Precise Colour RegistrationThe WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 /7556 digitally adjusts for mis-registration.Notice the white edges on the “G” and“M” produced by the laser device. TheWorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 /7556 automatically makes the necessaryadjustments.WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556R G BHiQ LED handles mis-registration issuesautomatically, simultaneously andcontinuously, from LED to LED.

Section 1: Evaluating Work GroupColour Multifunction SystemsProductivityIn addition to actual print engine speed, consider the factors that affectoverall throughput. Are the multifunction system's scanning and faxing featurespowerful enough to support the demands of your busiest departments? Is thesystem appropriately sized for the entire work group? Can important features beused simultaneously, or are employees forced to wait for the multifunction systemto become “free”? Is the system designed to minimise network traffic? Can systemfunctions be monitored from users’ desktops and/or from the front panel userinterface?How the WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 /7556 multifunction systemexceeds the productivityrequirementSpeedThe productivity of the WorkCentre 7525 /7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 starts with its fastprint engine. The WorkCentre 7500 seriesdelivers a print speed of up to 55 ppm forblack and white and 50 ppm colour output.Powerful scanning capabilities includescanning at up to 70 ipm, and support formultiple scanning destinations. Duplexprinting is just as fast as printing singlesided documents, and the Duplex AutomaticDocument Feeder (DADF) includes papercapacity of up to 110 sheets. All the 7500series configurations come with a powerful1.5 GHz processor and 2 GB system plus 1 GBpage memory. The controller enables theWorkCentre 7500 series to deliver fast firstpage-out times as fast as 5.8 seconds for blackand white and 7.2 seconds for colour.Network performanceConcurrencyPerformance isn’t limited to raw documentfeeds and speeds. The WorkCentre 7525 /7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 multifunctionsystem features a high-performance processorplus a 160 GB hard drive, delivering thenecessary horsepower to process your large,complex jobs. In addition, 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet connectivity comes standardfor shared network printing, and optionaladaptors for 10Base5 and 802.11b wirelessEthernet ensure you can connect WorkCentre7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556multifunction system according to your workgroup’s specific needs.The new WorkCentre controller’s advanceddesign also helps avoid bottlenecks at thefront panel. Concurrent operation means youwon’t have to wait until a long print job iscomplete before programming a fax, scan orcopy job. By keeping the front panel availablefor programming while the print engine isbusy, users stay productive and avoid idletime. Scan and fax jobs can be programmedand executed without waiting for the printengine to become available, while newlyprogrammed copy jobs will join the jobqueue and be executed when earlier jobs arecompleted.File compressionMonitoring system statusThe WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 /7556 lets you access scanned documentsfaster, with advanced file compressiontechniques that dramatically shrink file sizes,reduce storage space requirements and cutdown on your network’s document traffic.The WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 /7556 multifunction system delivers up-todate information on every job – print, copy,scan, email or fax, plus in-depth system statusdetails. Whether at the device or from thedesktop, users can easily manage documentsand jobs through an integrated job queue.Plus, our Smart RIP technology allows the firstpage to start printing while subsequent pagesare still processing.6Xerox WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 Evaluator Guide
