EVALUATE PERFORMANCE AND PRINT SPEED
For graphic arts and light production environments, overall system speed and performance are critical
considerations. Print speeds are critical in light production environments, where longer print jobs are
regularly produced. In graphic arts and color-intensive environments, processing speed and overall
performance will help avoid bottlenecks and quickly process large jobs. Lastly, consider the consumables
for the printer-copiers you are evaluating, and whether they will help you avoid downtime.
PRINT SPEED
Ever think your printer could print as fast in color as it does in black-and-white? The DocuColor
242
/
252
/
260 printer-copier comes close, while delivering print speeds you probably haven’t expe-
rienced before. The DocuColor 242 features print speeds of up to 40 ppm for color and 55 ppm for
black-and-white. The DocuColor 252 delivers print speeds of up to 50 ppm for color and 65 ppm
for black-and-white. The DocuColor 260 brings the performance of the Xerox color product line
to new heights, with color print speeds of up to 60 ppm and black-and-white print speeds up to 75
ppm. With first-page-out times (FPOT) as fast as 10.7 seconds for color and 4.3 seconds for black-
and-white, your jobs not only print fast, but also get started quickly.
PROCESSING POWER
The integrated network controller in the DocuColor 242

Celeron
®
processor and 512 MB of standard memory (1 GB maximum). This EFI Fiery bustled controller can
also be configured with the EFI Splash RPX-ii software solution.
For environments with preexisting workflows or specific processing needs, Xerox offers three addi-
tional external color server options. All of your processing and workflow requirements can be
met by a DocuColor 242

OVERALL PERFORMANCE
No matter how big or complex the mix of print jobs, the DocuColor 242
/
252
/
260 can handle
it. With fast print speeds, quick FPOT, a fast network connection, and powerful image processing,
these printer-copiers have the horsepower to handle your workload. With five standard paper
trays, optional high-capacity feeders, and a 250-sheet DADF,
your large print and scan jobs
are also handled with minimal interventions.
CONSUMABLES
The DocuColor 242

/
260 printer-copier utilizes Xerox SMart Kit™ customer replaceable
units so that regularly replaced supplies can be replaced without requiring a service call. Further,
these MFPs are designed so that you can replace toner cartridges while the machine is still copying
or printing
—
avoiding interruptions that occur when toner cartridges run completely empty. The
DocuColor 242
/
252
/
260 also utilizes two black toner cartridges, doubling the capacity of the most
often used toner color.
