Section 2

Evaluating Color Laser Printer-Copiers

For color professionals, there’s nothing more vital than a device that can produce speedy, precise

color printouts. Xerox invented laser printing and printer-copier devices, so we know how to deliver.

We’ve invested years of research and development in designing devices that offer fast,

accurate and affordable color.

Based on our in-depth understanding of customer needs in color-critical environments,

Xerox recommends you consider the following criteria in the evaluation process of a color

printer-copier product:

PERFORMANCE AND PRINT SPEED

Can it keep up with the demands of multiple jobs and client deadlines?

IMAGE QUALITY

Does it produce color and clarity that exceed the expectations of color professionals?

FLEXIBILITY

Can it be customized to the specific needs of your business?

This section of the Evaluator Guide will examine each of these areas and suggest ways you can

evaluate color printer-copiers against these requirements. Do this for all of the color printer-copiers

you consider, and you’ll see how the DocuColor 242

252

260 printer-copier exceeds expectations

on all counts.

EVALUATE PERFORMANCE AND PRINT SPEED

For graphic arts and light production environments, overall system speed and performance are critical

considerations. Print speeds are critical in light production environments, where longer print jobs are

regularly produced. In graphic arts and color-intensive environments, processing speed and overall

performance will help avoid bottlenecks and quickly process large jobs. Lastly, consider the consumables

for the printer-copiers you are evaluating, and whether they will help you avoid downtime.

PRINT SPEED

Ever think your printer could print as fast in color as it does in black-and-white? The DocuColor

242

252

260 printer-copier comes close, while delivering print speeds you probably haven’t expe-

rienced before. The DocuColor 242 features print speeds of up to 40 ppm for color and 55 ppm for

black-and-white. The DocuColor 252 delivers print speeds of up to 50 ppm for color and 65 ppm

for black-and-white. The DocuColor 260 brings the performance of the Xerox color product line

to new heights, with color print speeds of up to 60 ppm and black-and-white print speeds up to 75

ppm. With first-page-out times (FPOT) as fast as 10.7 seconds for color and 4.3 seconds for black-

and-white, your jobs not only print fast, but also get started quickly.

PROCESSING POWER

The integrated network controller in the DocuColor 242

252

260 utilizes a 2.8 GHz Intel®Celeron®

processor and 512 MB of standard memory (1 GB maximum). This EFI Fiery bustled controller can

also be configured with the EFI Splash RPX-ii software solution.

For environments with preexisting workflows or specific processing needs, Xerox offers three addi-

tional external color server options. All of your processing and workflow requirements can be

met by a DocuColor 242

252

260.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

No matter how big or complex the mix of print jobs, the DocuColor 242

252

260 can handle

it. With fast print speeds, quick FPOT, a fast network connection, and powerful image processing,

these printer-copiers have the horsepower to handle your workload. With five standard paper

trays, optional high-capacity feeders, and a 250-sheet DADF,

your large print and scan jobs

are also handled with minimal interventions.

CONSUMABLES

The DocuColor 242

252

260 printer-copier utilizes Xerox SMart Kit™ customer replaceable

units so that regularly replaced supplies can be replaced without requiring a service call. Further,

these MFPs are designed so that you can replace toner cartridges while the machine is still copying

or printing

—

avoiding interruptions that occur when toner cartridges run completely empty. The

DocuColor 242

252

260 also utilizes two black toner cartridges, doubling the capacity of the most

often used toner color.

EVALUATE IMAGE QUALITY

Image quality takes into account a number of factors. The image quality of a color printer-copier is

directly tied to the imaging technology it is based on. Color management features that allow you to

fine-tune the output of your printer-copier will also ensure you get the vibrant, accurate color your

applications require.

IMAGING TECHNOLOGY

With 2400 x 2400 dpi resolution for both copy and print, you can be sure you’re getting

high-quality output with excellent fine-line detail and crisp text. This high resolution is enabled

by Xerox VCSEL technology, which utilizes a 32-beam laser to write data at a quicker rate

and at a higher resolution.

The DocuColor 242

252

260 printer-copier utilizes Xerox Emulsion Aggregate High Grade

(EA-HG) toner, which is chemically grown rather than ground. EA-HG toner features smaller

and more uniformly sized particles, resulting in fine color detail and smooth transitions. There

is even an Enhanced Gloss Mode for printing and copying to add higher gloss levels to print

and copy jobs.

You will also get consistent colors with the DocuColor 242

252

260. Developer material, or

carrier, is included in the toner cartridges, enabling fresh developer to be constantly added and

resulting in consistent print quality print after print and copy after copy.

COLOR MANAGEMENT

Xerox delivers advanced color management and profiling options with the DocuColor 242

252

260.

These options allow you to proof your documents against other mediums like printing presses, web

pages, copiers or digital presses. You can optimize the color output of your document throughout

the design process and eliminate surprises in the production phase.

An array of advanced color-management and color-matching utilities is also available with the

optional external color servers. Optional color servers available for the DocuColor 242

252

260

include the Xerox FreeFlow®DocuSP®Color Server, EFI Fiery Color Server and the Creo®Spire™

Color Server.

260 EVALUATOR GUIDE

EVALUATE FLEXIBILITY

Flexibility and scalability are critical for printer-copiers deployed into graphic arts and light production

departments. Consider the range of controller options available, and whether these options can deliver

the features and performance you need most. Are finishing options available to automate document

production? Is the paper capacity expandable to keep up with your highest printing volumes? Flexibility

also pertains to media flexibility

—

think about your applications and whether the printer-copiers you’re

evaluating support the media you need.

COLOR SERVER OPTIONS

With graphic arts and color-intensive applications, Xerox understands that there is no single controller

that meets the needs of all customers. The DocuColor 242

252

260 offers you a wide choice of color

servers that deliver the power and flexibility you need in your business. Each color server features

different color tools, workflow capabilities, processing speed, and color management

—
