Xerox Phaser 8560MFP Evaluator Guide 9
Fax Features
The Phaser 8560MFP includes fax in its stan-
dard functionality. With built-in 33.6 kbps fax
transmission speeds, support for up to 200
speed dial settings and 100 group dial settings,
and up to 400 x 400 dpi (Superfine) transmis
-
sion resolution — the Phaser 8560MFP is the
only fax machine you’ll need. Further, the
multitasking capabilities built into the Phaser
8560MFP mean it will be available when you
need it to be — no need to wait for a print or
copy job to finish before you can program your
fax job.
The Phaser 8560MFP also includes PC Fax capa-
bilities as part of its standard feature set. PC
Fax allows you to send a fax from your desktop
as easily as you would send a print job to the
printer. In the Phaser 8560MFP print driver,
simply select “Fax” in the “Walk-Up Features”
drop-down menu on the “Output Options” tab,
and your electronic file will be faxed — save
yourself the steps of first printing the document
and then going to the system to send the fax.
Network Traffic
The Phaser 8560MFP limits network bandwidth
consumption in a variety of ways. Files are sent
over the network just once, regardless of how
many sets are printed. A job consisting of five
sets of a 10-page document is sent over the
network as 10 pages; files are processed at the
device and off the network, freeing up users’
workstations and minimizing network traffic.
The Phaser 8560MFP also supports a variety of
compression methods and file formats to limit
the impact of scanned images on your network.
Users can select from JPEG, TIFF and PDF to
find the right combination of file size and image
quality for their scan jobs.
Managing Jobs
Up-to-date information is available for every job
type, including print, copy, scan, email or fax —
there are no unknowns. Both at the device via
the front panel, or from your desktop via the
network, you can manage documents and jobs
in the job queue, display job progress and sta-
tus, and delete jobs with a few mouse clicks or
button pushes. Further, if one of your print jobs
is interrupted, PrintingScout will alert you to the
issue and provide instructions on how to get the
Phaser 8560MFP back up and running.
