Xerox WorkCentre 5600 Series Evaluator Guide     3
Section 1: Introducing the Xerox WorkCentre 5600 Series  
Multifunction Device 
Product Overview
High-speed performance. Outstanding productivity. Advanced multifunction capabilities. These are the essentials of the all-in-one 
office powerhouse that easily handles your high-volume print demands. And with robust copying, scanning, faxing and a host of  
innovative Xerox technologies, you get a total workflow solution that excels at streamlining your unique job processes. 
Ultimate Performance
Engineered to exceed your highest expectations, Xerox WorkCentre multifunction systems 
maximize office productivity, delivering the power and advanced functionality needed to 
help your workgroup achieve exceptional results — smarter, faster and easier.
One robust platform. Choose the speed that suits your workgroup — from 32 ppm up to •
90 ppm — and get the same functions and usability features. 
Truly faster printing. The new WorkCentre controller’s advanced design delivers the •
fastest effective network print speed in the industry. When printing the documents busi-
ness professionals work on every day, Xerox WorkCentre devices print faster than the 
competitions’ higher-speed-rated devices. 
Experience true multitasking. These multifunction systems have the power to perform •
five tasks at once: RIP, receive, program ahead, process the queue, and transmit. This 
advanced capability lets you copy, print, scan or fax even while other jobs are running.
No printing bottlenecks. The Xerox exclusive Print Around feature holds a job needing •
resources (such as a different paper size) and prints the next job in the queue. Plus, users 
can manage the job queue at the device by promoting or deleting jobs accordingly.
Smaller network-friendly files. JBIG 2 and MRC scan compression technologies optimize •
scan and fax performance, providing significantly faster transmission speeds and reduc-
ing network load and storage space on network and mail servers.  
Run at up to gigabit speeds. The new WorkCentre controller (WorkCentre 5632, 5638, •
5645 and 5655 models) supports Gigabit Ethernet* connections to move data as much 
as 100 times faster than typical device connection speeds (10Mbps). This extra speed 
means that jobs reach the WorkCentre faster.
Exemplary Network Citizen
The WorkCentre 5600 Series devices incorporate technology innovations for seamless 
network integration.
Latest in internet standards and protocols. WorkCentre 5600 Series devices support •
the Internet Engineering Task Force’s new IPv6 standard, which opens up additional 
IP addressing opportunities across the Internet and inside enterprise firewalls. IPv6 
provides additional network security, better network routing and configuration, and 
improved support for high volume printing and large print jobs. 
Web services increase manageability, reduce support costs. Plug it into your network, •
and your WorkCentre 5600 Series device is dynamically discovered and installed; simple 
point-and-click configuration lets you quickly fine-tune document settings for your needs. 
The device communicates detailed information on job status, configuration, consumables 
levels and device events. Support for Microsoft’s Web Services for Devices (WSD) makes it 
easy to manage devices remotely using standard web services technologies.
