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. As the inventor of laser printing and printer-copier devices, Xerox knows 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?

Scalability

Are you able to add on functionality

as your business grows and changes?

DOCUCOLOR 240 / 250 EVALUATOR GUIDE

Consider color print speed

Color is where it counts. It has to be as fast as it is precise. So, it’s very important to consider color print

speed. This ensures the fast turnarounds you need for tight deadlines. Also consider the first-page-out

time — key for proofing or quantity-of-one environments.

Think about processor speed

Consider the time it takes from clicking “print” to the final delivery of the color document to the output

tray. The device has to be able to process large photographic images with ease. Test documents with

complex images to see how fast they’re processed and printed.

Measure overall performance

Send a mix of color and black-and-white documents of varying types and lengths to the printer. See how

the printer performs. It should be a relatively fast and seamless process. And you’ll really be able to see the

overall performance including: network transmission time, first-page-out time and multi-copy engine speed.

4DOCUCOLOR 240 / 250 EVALUATOR GUIDE

EVALUATE PERFORMANCE AND PRINT SPEED

Ever think your printer could print as fast in color as it does in black-and-white? The DocuColor 250 is

not that far off. It prints in color up to an incredibly fast 50 ppm. That’s really close to its black-and-white

print speed, which is up to 65 ppm. The DocuColor 240 offers fast print speeds as well, with 40 ppm

in color and 55 ppm in black-and-white. You’ll also enjoy a first-page-out time as fast as 7.8 seconds.

The DocuColor 240 / 250 comes with a robust 2.8 GHz Intel®Celeron®processor and EFI®bustled

controller. This ensures fast processing and printing of multiple full-color images. 512MB of memory is

dedicating to printing. This can be upgraded to a full 1 GB of memory, giving the device plenty of

processing power.

No matter how big or complex the mix of print jobs, the DocuColor 240 / 250 can handle it. With fast

print speeds and first-page-out times, a fast network connection and speedy image processing, this

device makes work, work for you. Plus, it has five standard trays and a 250-sheet DADF,so you can

get the big jobs done without having to reload paper.

DOCUCOLOR 240 / 250 EVALUATOR GUIDE

Think about consumables

Never let consumables slow you down. For example, toner. No one wants to run out of it in the middle

of a job. That’s why you should consider a printer that lets you change toner while you’re printing.

This keeps your productivity at its highest. No more missed deadlines.

Toner capacity is important too. With a fast printer-copier, you do not want to continually have to

replace empty toner cartridges.

EVALUATE PERFORMANCE AND PRINT SPEED, cont.

The DocuColor 240 / 250 printer-copier was designed so that you can load toner while the machine is still

copying or printing. You don’t need to wait for the machine to stop and declare a “toner low” message.

With two black toner cartridges, your jobs keep running with only the occasional request for toner.

Plus, all Xerox consumables, or SMart KitTM replaceable units, are easy to load. Anyone can do it with

no problem whatsoever.

Look for precision resolution

Do images look sharp and crisp? Are they absolutely clear with defined edges? Your printout should

meet the expectations of professional color experts. Make sure you examine a print sample to ensure it

meets the highest quality standards.

Ensure faithful color reproduction

Look for uniformity and consistency in large areas of solid fill. Check for smooth transitions where edges meet.

Check that the image quality and color remain consistent page after page, particularly after 100 or 200 prints of

the same image. Does the printer perform periodic automatic calibration to maintain print-to-print consistency?

EVALUATE IMAGE QUALITY

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

outstanding output. It’s excellent for printing photographs and fine lines. And when you really want images

to pop, you can choose the Enhanced Gloss Mode for great results.

Xerox is the leading innovator in toner and photoreceptor technology. From its pioneering work with carbon-

based toner in the 1950s – creating the copier marketplace – to the latest breakthrough, Emulsion Aggregate

(EA) toner,Xerox continues to pave the way.

The DocuColor 240 / 250 utilizes EA toner, which is chemically grown, rather than

ground, resulting in very small, consistent particles. This brings you fine color

detail and smooth transitions. Plus the toner cartridges (also called SMart KitTM

replaceable units) have developer material, or carrier, included. This allows the

constant addition of fresh developer material for consistent color quality – copy

after copy, print after print.

Automatic density control also assures consistent color from the first print to

the one-hundredth and the one-thousandth.

You can even set color calibration for different types of media. For example, you

might want to bring out true skin tones on a media that has a bright white finish.

With this feature you can get realistic colors on almost any type of media.

Check for color matching capabilities

In color critical environments, it’s vital that the color you expect is the color you get. Make sure your

device comes with advanced color management and profiling options that enable you to emulate different

output devices and control color output. This way you can be sure your printouts come out just how you

imagined, at every stage in the process.

Include a variety of elements in your test pages

Try color graphics, photo images, adjacent primary colors, large areas of solid color, color blends and

gradients and text in various typefaces, sizes and colors.

EVALUATE IMAGE QUALITY, cont.

Xerox gives you advanced color management tools and profiling options. You can create your own profiles

that allow you to proof your documents to other engines, such as a printing press, web pages, a copier

or a digital press. This way you can optimize the color output (e.g. saturated, cooler, warmer) at every

step and eliminate surprises in the production phase.

With the addition of the Splash RPX-i workflow software you can get the professional color manage-

ment tools (e.g., ColorTuner, Color Spot Editor and CMYK Color Profiles) to manage the most demand-

ing color matching job. The Splash legacy is one that benefits the color printing professional. Splash

workflow software takes the color image quality of the DocuColor 240/250 to new levels.

When your document includes mixed elements such as graphics, text and photos, Xerox automatically

color corrects each graphic element on the page. This ensures you get the sharpest text, brightest

colors and the life-like images contained in your original file.

Use different kinds of media

With some color printers, color may change depending on the media you use. The quality may lessen

with different paper textures, like cover stock or transparencies. And in creative environments, the last

thing you want to do is reject an idea because you can’t execute it properly. So test out different kinds

of media to ensure consistently terrific color output.

Check source file compatibility

Can the printer handle all the versions of PCL®or Adobe®PostScript®that the software might produce?

Some popular graphic applications depend on true PostScript compatibility for the best color quality

and most accurate proofing capability.

EVALUATE IMAGE QUALITY, cont.

No matter what application you’re using, Xerox has you covered. The DocuColor 240 / 250 with the EFI

bustled controller offers true Adobe®Postscript®3TM and PCL®emulation, so everything you print turns

out the way you it expect it – wonderfully. The Splash RPX-i option also supports Adobe PostScript 3.

SECTION 2
