PRINT PRODUCTIVITY

Evaluating print productivity is not as simple as timing copy

jobs. The printing process involves several steps and can

be affected by a variety of factors along the way.

The document must first be spooled by the print driver into

a PCL or PostScript file. The PCL or PostScript file is then

sent to the printer where it is raster image processed

(Ripped) into image data by the device processor. The

image data is then sent to the marking engine and output

as printed pages.

There are three obvious factors highlighted above (spool

time, RIP time, and print engine speed), which can all

make or break a device’s overall productivity. Other

factors that could affect productivity and print speed of the

device are the use of other device functions such as

scanning and faxing.

It is possible to time and compare these factors through the

use of careful preparation, conditioning and testing.

Following are charts that show printing performance when

tested under controlled conditions.

Xerox has done an amazing job with the design of the Phaser 6140N. This compact desktop

printer offers high print productivity, good image quality and excellent ease of use. During

BERTL’s extensive testing of the Xerox Phaser 6140N, this office-color laser-based printer for

small to mid-size workgroups performed remarkably well. BERTL observed the following

•Tested simplex monochrome network-print speed with the PCL and Postscript drivers

were as fast as 21 ppm, matching Xerox’s rated speed of 21 ppm.

•Tested simplex color network-print speed with the PCL drivers was as fast as 18.6 ppm.

•Tested simplex color network-print speed with the Postscript driver was as fast as 17.2

ppm.

•Image quality produced from the Xerox Phaser 6140N was excellent due to Xerox’s EA

toner that is engineered using particles for uniform size and shape. Xerox also is

Pantone Color approved which ensures results that always portray the user’s

expectations.

•Ease of maintenance is effortless, replacing toner, easy misfeed access, and paper

•User-friendly installation software gets the Xerox Phaser 6140N out of the box and

running smoothly on your network in minutes.

•The Xerox Phaser 6140N’s control panel consists of a two line LCD screen and several

hard keys. The LCD screen provides users with information and troubleshooting help.

•The Xerox Phaser 6140N’s small footprint allows for easy integration within users work

space, whether on your desk or in a central location.

•The PrintingScout™ function tracks print jobs and provides immediate print-issue alerts

and correction suggestions.

•Also contributing to the Xerox Phaser 6140N’s overall productivity is Xerox’s CentreWare

internet services, which provides detailed device and consumable status, and provides

network administrators with the ability to configure and manage both the network and

device settings.

•Convenient email alerts notify network administrators of common hang-ups, such as low

toner levels, to help maintain an uninterrupted workflow.

•Security features include: IPSec, SNMPv3, Secure Print4, IP filtering and IPv6.

•Versatile media handling and flexibility, with the ability to print on stock as heavy as 80lbs

cover (220 gsm bond) and sheets up to 8.5"x 14”.

•Optional paper capacity of up to 501 sheets increases the time to refill for longer

uninterrupted jobs.

•The Xerox Phaser 6140N has superior energy and supply-saving features, which include

fast warm-up, first copy out times and optional two-sided printing. This printer also is a

part of Xerox Green World Alliance Recycling Program, where print cartridges can be

returned to Xerox free of charge for recycling.

•The Xerox Phaser 6140N comes standard with a one-year warranty.
