This is a versatile monochrome laser printer with a powerful processor, ample memory, and good paper handling features to help small offices streamline their workflow. The Xerox Phaser 4500DX black and white laser printer is easy to operate and low-cost to run. It offers an advanced paper output handling capability thanks to the 500-sheet stacker. However, the 4500DX printer is expensive, noisy, and lacking some important features, which could improve its performance and efficiency in the workplace.
Design
The Xerox Phaser 4500DX A4 mono laser printer stands 15.9 inches tall but it is fairly compact, measuring 18.3 inches deep and 16.6 inches wide, and it has a built-in status LCD with simplified navigation and operational buttons on the control panel. The media feeders include a 150-sheet bypass tray and two standard 550-sheet trays. The Phaser 4500DX laser printer is powered by a 400MHz processor running on 64MB of RAM, and it offers USB, Ethernet, and parallel connectivity.
Advantages
Two-sided printing is a standard feature in the Xerox Phaser 4500DX along with a standard internal hard drive. The memory can be upgraded to 512MB, and the paper capacity is up to 1,250 sheets. The Xerox Phaser 4500DX black and white printer can print on a wide range of media types including greeting cards, index cards, transparencies, labels, and bond paper. Users can simplify document or media production with job pipelining, watermarking, N-up printing, and booklet printing. Intuitive print drivers simplify operation, while PhaserSMART offers online troubleshooting. Big savings are made by installing compatible high capacity Xerox Phaser 4500DX cartridges which are the most cost-effective supplies for this printer.
Disadvantages
The Xerox 4500DX printer could be better if it offered direct printing capabilities and a larger backlit display screen. Users find it heavy and noisy. Upgrading the Phaser 4500DX for additional memory and paper capacity can be expensive.
