The Xerox Phaser 8560DB is a value-packed office device that has been designed to deliver maximum productivity. For those who want a colour printer that is reasonably priced and easy to use, this machine is a good choice. The printer can be either a desktop model or be expanded to a four-tray floor printer. For busy offices, the Xerox Phaser 8560DB is fast, affordable and simple to use.
Design
The Xerox 8560DB is a compact printer that is built for high productivity. It can be used as a desktop printer, or you can expand it to take four trays and turn it into a powerful floor-standing printer. It is versatile and fast enough to produce prints for everyday print jobs. If you have the need to produce prints with a little more finesse, then the machine can be switched to 2400 FinePoint print resolution mode. The printer has automatic colour-intensive tools, which ensure that colour prints are produced reliably and accurately. The Xerox Phaser 8560DB is fast, producing its first page within just five seconds. The printer is able to print black and white and colour prints at a rate of 30ppm. It has 256MB of memory, which can be upgraded by one gigabyte to provide additional power for more intensive projects. A large paper tray that can take 625 sheets means that even when using it as a desktop printer, you do not need to reload the paper tray that often, making printing jobs faster. Handy productivity enhancing tools come as standard rather than expensive add-ons. These include booklet printing, job accounting and image smoothing. The printer performs automatic two-sided printing to save time and paper.
Advantages
This is an affordable, good-value colour printer that is easily expanded from a desktop to a floor-standing model. It comes with handy productivity tools as standard and has good colour reproduction.
Disadvantages
If you do not print over 2000 pages per month, then you might find the running cost of the Xerox Phaser 8560DB a little high. Power consumption is also high for a home or small office setting.
