Busy offices will appreciate the Xerox Phaser 6140DN colour laser printer. This is the most comprehensive version of the 6140 series, not only offering network capabilities, but automatic duplexing as well. It offers way faster printing rates than previous Phaser versions, thanks to a faster processor, and larger internal memory, which allows faster data transfer and processing. The Xerox Phaser 6140DN colour printer can spit out black and white pages at a fast rate of 21 ppm, while colour pages come out at an average rate of 19 ppm. Still, there are many similar devices with faster print speeds.
Design
Design-wise, the Xerox Phaser 6140DN is a very simple device with a solid base where the paper tray slips out, an output bin on the top panel, and a control section with a small LCD where basic functions can be accessed and controlled. It has a convenient size for desktop operation, and with its improved processor and internal memory, it ensures faster printing rates. The Xerox 6140DN laser printer even has an automatic duplexer, which allows two-sided printing, however, adding this convenience will cost the buyer a bit more money.
Advantages
Speed is definitely the main highlight of the Xerox Phaser 6140DN. It prints at a rate of 21 ppm and 19 ppm in black and white and colour, respectively. Warm up time is also fast, at 12 seconds. Users can keep print costs low by using cheaper compatible Xerox 6140DN cartridges, which last up to 2,000 to 2,600 prints per cartridge, the same as the genuine Xerox supplies. Two-sided printing, networking, and high-resolution printing are additional highlights that make the Xerox Phaser 6140DN printer a good choice for workgroups.
Disadvantages
Despite the improvements, the Phaser 6140DN is still a bit slow for a laser printer, since other units in the same range can produce as many as 30 to 40 prints per minute. However, for a mid-range office, this particular version is more than ample.
