For its price, the Xerox Phaser 3600VB monochrome laser printer offers small to medium-sized offices a good number of features including two-sided printing, which wasn't offered by the predecessor. It is cheaper to run because of affordable consumables. The paper capacity is just right for low to mid-volume output. The black and white Phaser 3600VB printer, however, lacks some important features.
Design
The Xerox Phaser 3600VB laser printer measures 15.7 inches wide, 15.1 inches tall, and 18.8 inches in diameter, so it may occupy a little more installation space on a desktop. It is somewhat heavy, too, weighing approximately 17.7Kg. The control panel is angled and features a small monochrome display screen. The Xerox 3600VB Phaser runs on a 400MHz processor with 128MB of memory, and connectivity options include USB 2.0, parallel, and Ethernet.
Advantages
It prints text documents fast at up to 40ppm without compromising output quality because of the enhanced 1200x1200dpi resolution. The built-in 600-sheet input capacity is just right for small offices. The Xerox 3600VB mono laser printer is also praised for the integration of automatic two-sided printing and network-friendly features. Toners are cheap for the Xerox Phaser 3600VB, and the universal design makes it easy to set-up and operate. Users may upgrade the memory to 512MB.
Disadvantages
There are no direct printing options with the Phaser 3600VB printer. It is expensive, but some users believe they are not getting what they are paying for because of sluggish print speeds on graphics and the limited paper handling, with no options to expand further than 1,100 sheets. There are no stackers, finishing options, and sorters for more efficient media handling in the Xerox Phaser 3600VB. Noise is quite apparent when printing.
