14 Xerox Phaser 8560MFP Evaluator Guide
Section 2: Evaluating Multifunction Systems
Evaluate Versatility
Does the product have multiple configuration options to choose from, to fit
your environment?
Does the MFP feature the media support your business requires?
Can multiple functions be performed simultaneously? Are third-party solutions avail-
able to integrate the MFP into your business processes?
How the phaser 8560MFP
exceeds the versatility
requirement:
Configurations
All four configurations of the Phaser 8560MFP
multifunction printer come standard with the
full complement of color and black-and-white
MFP features — network printing, copying,
scanning and faxing. The four configuration
options enable you to right-size the Phaser
8560MFP for your office, choosing the right
paper capacity and memory required to support
your employees.
Media Support
The Phaser 8560MFP is an excellent option for
busy offices and workgroups who print on a
variety of media types and sizes (up to 8.5 x 14
in.). Media weights from 16 to 40 lb. bond (60
to 220 gsm) are supported through the Tray 1
multi-purpose tray; all other trays support 16 to
32 lb. bond (60–120 gsm). The optional DADF
supports media from 16 to 32 lb. bond (60 to
120 gsm) to accommodate a broad range of
original documents for copying, scanning and
faxing. The 8.5 x 14 in. platen glass eases the
scanning and copying of larger documents like
books and legal contracts.
In addition to plain paper stocks, the Phaser
8560MFP supports media types including trans-
parencies, envelopes, labels, glossy paper and
custom-size paper.
True Multitasking
The Phaser 8560MFP is a true multitasking
MFP, delivering optimized system performance
and increasing employee productivity. The
Phaser 8560MFP front panel stays available for
programming jobs even while the engine is busy
printing or copying pages — preventing bottle-
necks at the system by allowing employees to
program scan, fax or copy jobs without waiting
for prior jobs to complete. For example, if you
need to make a quick copy before heading into
a meeting and find the system busy with a long
print job, you can make your copy — the Phaser
8560MFP will temporarily pause the print job,
make your copy, and pick up the print job where
it left off.
