Section 2: Evaluating Black-and-White Laser Printers
Evaluate Productivity
Productivity is a critical consideration when evaluating which printer to
purchase for your office.
to support the workload of a busy single user or a small workgroup? Does it produce
sufficient print quality? Can the printer be expanded to meet a workgroup's evolving
needs, and does it offer the media flexibility to support a variety of jobs?
How the Phaser 3600 laser printer
exceeds productivity requirement:
Printing performance
With a fast print speed of up to 40 ppm, even
the heaviest workloads are handled with ease
by the Phaser 3600 laser printer. And, the print-
er's powerful 400 MHz processor can receive a
rapid succession of simple and complex print
jobs while maintaining all-day productivity.
Plus, RAM collation speeds up larger print jobs
by quickly processing multiple sets of multipage
documents.
For average print jobs of three pages or less, the
most important specification is first-page-out
time, and the Phaser 3600 laser printer delivers
in as few as 9 seconds.
Print productivity is further enhanced with even
more advanced features, like booklet printing,
N-up, collation, secure print and watermarks.
Print quality
The Phaser 3600 laser printer outputs at 600 x
600 dpi (up to 1200 x 1200 enhanced image
quality), producing excellent results without
compromising the printer's outstanding speed.
Whether printing spreadsheets, presentations
or customer collaterals, the Phaser 3600 laser
printer delivers truly impressive print quality.
Expandability
The Phaser 3600 laser printer offers more
printing features for fast-paced business on a
budget. Multiple configurations are available to
meet the needs of a busy single user or a small
workgroup, while more options further expand
the printer's capabilities.
Does the printer deliver the level of performance required
For those users who print a high volume of
large, complex files, controller memory can be
expanded to a maximum of 512 MB with 64
MB, 128 MB, or 256 MB upgrades.
Plus, a wireless network adapter can be added
to allow easy integration with any wireless
networking environment.
For longer periods of uninterrupted printing,
consider increasing paper capacity by includ-
ing an additional 500-sheet feeder, for a total
paper capacity of 1,100 sheets.
Media support

able paper capacity to handle the diverse needs
