Section 2: Evaluating Black-and-White Laser MFPs
Evaluate Productivity
In addition to print engine speed, consider other attributes that affect overall
throughout.
Does the MFP include productivity-enhancing capabilities, such as a
Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) to ease the processing of two-sided
originals? Will your documents be printed with the image quality users need? Does the
MFP feature the connectivity choices your office requires, and does it include a hard
drive that can store frequently needed documents for fast reprinting at the device?
Can jobs be programmed while the MFP is busy outputting an earlier job? Is device-
status information available at both the device and a user's desktop?
How the Phaser 3635MFP
multifunction printer exceeds
the productivity requirement
Performance
The Phaser 3635MFP multifunction printer
quickly outputs even the most graphic-heavy
documents, whether single or double-sided,
with print speeds as fast as 35 pages per
minute. Long jobs are quickly completed, and
with a first-page-out time (FPOT) as fast as
8.5 seconds you won't wait long for short jobs,
either. Multipage and double-sided copy, scan
and fax jobs are processed in a single pass
through the 60-sheet DADF, minimizing time
spent feeding originals into the MFP.
Image quality
Whether printing presentations, reports
or simple emails — the Phaser 3635MFP
multifunction printer delivers impressive
results with 600 x 600 dpi print resolution (up
to 1200 x 1200 enhanced image quality).
Also, Xerox includes support for multiple page
description languages including PostScript
compatibility and PCL
6 and 5e emulations.

For scanning, the Phaser 3635MFP delivers
outstanding image quality, with 600 x 600
dpi resolution.
Network performance
The Phaser 3635MFP multifunction printer's
performance isn't limited to raw document
feeds and speeds. With a controller that
includes a 360 MHz processor, 256 MB of
memory (expandable to 512 MB), and standard
support for USB 2.0 and 10/100Base-T
connectivity, the Phaser 3635MFP multifunction
printer quickly processes jobs while minimizing
network traffic. Plus, the 80 GB hard drive allows
frequently printed documents, such as business
forms, to be stored on the MFP's hard drive and
reprinted directly from the front panel.
Concurrency
The Phaser 3635MFP multifunction printer's
network controller also helps prevent
bottlenecks at the front panel. By keeping the
front panel available for programming, users
can stay productive and avoid idle time waiting
for the MFP. Concurrent operation means no
more waiting until a long print job is complete
to program a fax, scan or copy job. Scan and
fax jobs can be programmed and executed
3™
®
without waiting for the print engine to become
available, while newly programmed copy jobs
will join the job queue and be executed when
earlier jobs are completed.
Monitoring system status
Whether at your desk or at the Phaser 3635MFP
multifunction printer's front panel, current
information is available on every job the MFP
processes as well as in-depth device status. See
the list of jobs currently in the print queue, the
number of daily outgoing fax transmissions,
paper-level status, and total page output counts
without leaving your desk via CentreWare IS or
the print driver, or via the device's front panel.
