Section 2: Evaluating Color Laser Printers
Evaluate Printing Performance and Print Quality
Workgroup-class color laser printers need to deliver a level of performance that
can support heavy daily workloads.
This includes raw print speed, as well as print
job processing speed. Print quality is another overall performance consideration: Does
the print quality meet your expectations? Is the print controller powerful enough to
support your applications? Is the printer designed to be shared by employees in busy
workgroups? Does the printer provide the right media support for your applications?

Overall Print Performance
The Phaser 6360 is a high-performance
color printer built to handle the daily
demands of busy medium-size and large
workgroups of up to 25 employees. The
first thing many customers look at when
evaluating printers in this class is print
speed — the Phaser 6360 doesn’t disap-
point, with speeds up to 42 ppm for color
and black-and-white. For average office
print jobs of three pages or less, the more
important specification is first-page-out
time — the Phaser 6360 delivers in as few
as 9 seconds.
The Phaser 6360 delivers impressive office
print quality as well, with a resolution of up
to 2400 x 600 dpi. The Phaser 6360 fea-
tures PANTONE
®
Color approved solid-color
simulations, and includes a variety of color
correction settings to manage color output
and match printing devices and computer
displays. Whether printing internal docu
-
ments or presentations for customers, the
Phaser 6360 delivers print quality your
employees can count on to impress.
Powerful Controller
The Phaser 6360 is powered by the most
dynamic print controller in its class. It is
the only letter-size color printer on the
market today that boasts a 1 GHz Pow-
erPC processor, with 256 MB of memory
standard and expandable memory up
to 1 GB. This powerful controller adeptly
processes complex print jobs and contrib-
utes to the impressive first-page-out time
delivered by the Phaser 6360.
Built to be Shared
With standard support for 10/100Base-TX
Ethernet networking, a 100,000 page-
per-month duty cycle, and a customizable
paper capacity from 700 to 2,350 pages,
the Phaser 6360 is truly built to be shared.
Network administration tools are provided
to help IT departments track printer use,
facilitate charge-back billings, and plan for
future printer deployment.
Media Support
The Phaser 6360 can easily handle a wide
range of media to support the variety of
document types your busy employees pro-
duce on a regular basis. Supported media
types include plain printer paper, trans-
parencies, labels, envelopes, card stock
and glossy media. Media size and weight
