Xerox 6180 Toner Based Printer Review

The Xerox 6180 is a printer that pretty much does it all. It can fax, scan, email, print, and do just about anything else any other printer on the market today can do. Some things to look further into though is print quality, speed, and how much abuse it can take in a normal monthly cycle. Here is an inside look on how well this Xerox performs.

First off, the printing speeds are what most people will look at first. While printing in monochrome consumers should expect, on average, up to 31 pages per minute. Like with many other color printers, the color printing speed is a bit slower at 20 pages per minute. Another thing that many consumers are interested in is how many sheets of paper at once can this machine hold. The main loading tray is rated at 250 pages while the multi-purpose second tray can only hold 150 pages. Having a total capacity of 400 pages and being able to upgrade that capacity to 900 pages makes refilling the paper not an everyday occurrence.

So how well does each function of this printer perform? The scanner can perform high resolution scans directly to your computer, to your email, your network, or it can be saved onto the printer itself. The fax machine is integrated and can be set up in just minutes with its own dedicated line. The copier can perform copies that have a 600 x 600 dpi resolution, and can be done just as fast as you can print monochrome pages. The printer itself is easily connected to any type of server or network no matter what type of computer or Mac you are using.

Further showing that the Xerox 6180 is meant for the office is its duty cycle rating of 60,000 pages. By staying well under this number you can expect your toner to last longer and you can expect the life of the printer to be long. Maintenance will also be cut down if you are stay well below the maximum duty cycle. That paired with the power saving mode makes this an economical choice for the office.

Not all people, or offices for that matter, need a printer that simply does everything. For the office personnel and people that do require a printer that goes well beyond just printing documents, the Xerox 6180 is a prime example and choice to consider.
