When considering purchasing the Xerox Phaser 6115 Printer using Xerox 6115 cartridges, you really need to know exactly what you’re sinking your money into. This model is not only a color laser printer. It offers a plethora of functionality and features for the price tag. With color faxing, color copying, scanning and even email capabilities, it may be just the machine you have been looking for.

The first thing I would like to talk about here is the issue of speed. This unit does not move very fast, but depending on what you will be using the unit for this may not be an issue for you. The numbers look like this: printing at 5 ppm color, and 20 ppm black and white. Like I said, not too speedy. Copying speeds fall in line with 5 ppm color and 12 ppm black and white using Xerox Phaser replacement toner. Finally the scanning speeds are a little quicker, at 43 ppm.

One important thing you need to know when considering this model is how it connects and what operating systems it supports. It does connect to your computer via a USB hub Ethernet 10 Base-T/100 Base-TX. As far as the supported operating systems, your pretty much cover with Windows 2000 through Windows Vista, so basically, if you have the newest version of Windows 7, then this system isn’t going to work for you. Also supported is Apple Mac OS X 10.2 or later. It comes with all the necessary drivers, including Xerox CentreWare IS Embedded web server.

Roomy trays are a nice feature with this printer. With a maximum capacity of 700 sheets and a standard media capacity of 200 sheets, you won’t need to reload too often. It also offers a maximum feeder capacity of 50sheets at a time, and the output tray holds up to 100 sheets.

This unit prints up to 2400 x 600 dpi color, and 2400 x 600 dpi mono. The copy resolution renders up to 600 x 600 color, and 600 x 600 mono. Automatic duplexing is an optional feature. This printer is also Energy Star Qualified. Using only 450 watts of electricity when operational, 250 watts in standby mode and 28 watts while in sleep mode. Just another way to save a few bucks if you decide to go with this model.

The standard and maximum memory requirement for the printer is 128 MB. This printer also has the ability to send color faxes, and fax forwarding. Another great feature it offers is its email function. The fax machine is Super G3 compatible, and has a maximum transmission speed of 33.6 kbps.

Another great thing about this printer is that is does print on a wide variety of media. Anything from plain paper, cards, and labels, to envelopes and transparencies. The maximum copy size for this unit is Legal, 8.5 inches x 14 inches.

When you consider all that the Xerox Phaser 6115 Printer has to offer, it really does appear to be a great all-in-one unit. The price on this printer is $520. Xerox Phaser 6115 laser toners are approximately $50 each, and it does require 3 color Xerox toner and one black printer toner cartridge. As I stated before, this printer is made for business use, as it is a large unit and weighs 73 pounds. It’s also a work horse, and has a monthly duty cycle of 35000 impressions. It also comes with a standard 1 yr service and support warranty. So, if speed is not an issue, this might be a great printer for you.
