Xerox Phaser 6110 - Maintain Space In Your Office

March 6, 2009 · Filed Under Computer Hardware 

When you are thinking about copying, Xerox has to be one of the first names that comes to mind. Year in and year out they put out products that are very competitive and often do it for far less than the competition. The Xerox Phaser 6110 Printer falls right into that category and once again, you have to be amazed that Xerox for some reason is able to do this when the competition has just not figured it out yet.

Every printer has its pros and cons, but one of the best features that stands out on the Xerox Phaser 6110 is the fact that it is so tiny. While it is not a shoebox printer, it is pretty close. It measures only 15″x14″x10″ and will allow you to make the most of the small space that you probably have for peripherals in your home office.

The processor is fairly quick for such an inexpensive model as it features 300MHz. The printer also has a color resolution of 2400dpi x 600dpi which is also in the upper range of what you would expect at this price point. When you are printing detailed images, this is very helpful in processing them quickly.

As we said, with every printer there are pros and cons and the cons of this printer seem to the ppm speed could use a little boost. Pumping out 17ppm is not bad for the price point, but you would think a laser printer could do a better job. There is also no double sided printing option that hurts this model as with today’s economy, everyone is looking to save every penny and second they can. If you want to double print, you are going to have to print it out page by page and flip the paper manually. This can be quite time consuming and hurts the value of this printer.

When you are looking to compare this printer to other that it is supposed to stack up against, you can put it up against the features of the Samsung CLP-315 and the HP Color LaserJet CP1215. As you will see, it is significantly cheaper than both of them while having very similar features as both of these units. The reviews of the products on many sites are very similar in nature so again, you have to wonder how Xerox can put out the same product as these two other companies at almost half the price!

The printer itself is good for printing basic images, presentations and color documents and can handle both A4 and legal sized documents. It can hold up to 150 sheets of paper and the output tray can hold as many as 100 sheets. The monthly duty cycle is just over 24,000 pages and it uses the 6100 toner cartridge.

As long as you know the limitations of this printer, it is the right choice at this price. This is not a printer that you can throw into a heavy corporate office setting and expect it to hold up. This is a printer that is meant for a small office or home use and will more than do the job in that setting.

When you break everything down, you are getting great value for the money with the Xerox Phaser 6110 printer. This printer has all the features of some of the big boys and paying about half as much as you would to have any of them on your desk. It continues to bewilder people how Xerox can pump out great printer after great printer at such a discounted price, but why worry about it when you know you are getting a product at a less costly price that will shame the competition. Save some money and go with the best in the business!
