Xerox 6180DN - Phaser Color Laser Printer Manual

Summing Up

BERTL found the Xerox Phaser 6180DN simple and

intuitive to use and maintain on a daily basis. In testing,

the printer tended to be slightly more productive in PCL

mode than PostScript mode, with somewhat faster First

Page Out Times (FPOTs) and faster print speed when

printing various test documents.

Image quality produced by the printer should be sufficient

for most business applications. In testing, printed photo

image quality was slightly above average. This means the

printer was able to produce pleasing color photos and

graphics.

Text and fine lines were crisp and readable

down to 4 pt., so that users should expect good quality

when producing black-and-white text output.

The Phaser 6180DN is also above par when it comes to

installation and ease-of-use. The printer can literally be

set up in minutes.

Toner cartridges are conveniently

accessed from the front, are color-coded, and very easy to

replace. Paper jams are also accessed from the front.

BERTL did not observe any paper jams in testing, so

analysts instead simulated jams in order to see how the

device would react. Its response was good, as the Phaser

6180DN's control panel displays helpful messages that

will help even novice users remove jams.

Of special note is Xerox's CentreWare Internet Services,

which is exceptionally user friendly and provides many

useful capabilities. With just a quick glance at Internet

Services' home page, users can see the current device

status, whether paper drawers are empty or full, and the

remaining toner.

At a list price of $499, the Phaser 6180N is competitive

with other desktop color laser printers targeted for small-

workgroup business use. Although the "N" model does not

provide duplexing, duplexing is available with other

configurations and as an option. This is in contrast with

other printers in its class that do not provide duplexing as

either standard or optional.

Overall, the Phaser 6180 is a solid, well-built printer that is

competitively priced, performed well in testing, and should

perform well for small business workgroups that require

good business image quality and relatively fast print speed

in both color and black-and-white.
