The Xerox Phaser 3450 printer is a monochrome laser printer that makes a great choice for smaller workgroups or even for printing at home. It offers good productivity for a reasonable price. Your output is not sacrificed because of your office size with this printer and neither is the quality thanks to the Xerox Phaser 3450 toner.
Specifications of the Phaser 3450 include a 266 MHz processor. It also features 36 MB of RAM standard with expansion ability up to 160 MB. Print speed is up to 25 pages printed per minute and it can get your first page out in less than 12 seconds. As always, these figures are dependent on the document being printed, but this printer definitely has a respectable output speed.
The two standard paper trays hold 500 sheets and 100 sheets respectively. An optional feeder holds an extra 500 sheets. With 1,100 sheets of paper at the ready, you will be stopping work to replace paper less often. Trays and feeder can work with legal paper, letter paper, bond, transparencies and light card stock. The trays can also handle envelopes and labels.
If you choose to upgrade to the D or DN model, you will also get automatic two-sided printing. Two-sided printing can be done on letter size paper, legal size, bond or light card stock. The DN model will allow you to connect directly to Ethernet for ease of networking with your workgroup. There are other features that come with this model, for example, the ability to see the printer and job status.
You can replace the toner cartridge easily and you have the option of one that is either standard or high output. With the standard toner cartridge you can print about 5,000 pages. The high output version will double that productivity, to around 10,000 total. By using the toner cartridge with higher output, you will also pay less for each page that is printed.
Another way to save toner and money is by choosing a lower print quality. You have a choice between the toner saver mode of 300 dpi, the standard quality of 600 dpi or the high quality of 1,200 dpi. Using the toner saver option is great when you know you are not printing the final version of a document.
As is typical for Xerox printers, you get thorough documentation. You will find it easy to set up the printer and start using it right away. If you need more help, you can find other documents on the website or ask questions of the live help or from technical support on the telephone.
The printer may not be light, but it is compact in size. It is a fairly simple job to move it around from one place to another if necessary. This could end up being a huge benefit if you do not have the model that comes with Ethernet connectivity.
The printer is probably not the best choice for large workgroups. The output, though fast, is not as fast as some other models. For workgroups that are smaller or for home use, it is a great way to get quality that competes with the printers that larger offices use for a more reasonable price.
Quality is certainly a word associated with Xerox Phaser 3450 replacement toner. No one will be surprised that Xerox has extended their level of reliability to Xerox toner cartridge. They know great replacement toner produces a great end product.
