The Phaser 4500B monochrome laser printer from Xerox is compact enough for the small or home office, but it still offers good features to ensure high productivity, fast print speeds, and versatility for every user. The Xerox Phaser 4500B black and white printer is easy to install in a network and cost-effective to run, but it has problems with print quality.
