Specifying colour this time, our 24-page DTP style document was returned in two minutes on both the Normal and Photo driver settings. Make sure you select mono and not the auto-colour detect setting on the driver, as by default it’s left on the latter – and this drops speed to around 12ppm regardless of the type of print. Mono prints were despatched efficiently, with a 16-page Word document delivered in precisely one minute. With GDI printers, speed will be down to the host system’s specification and for testing we used a Boston Supermicro dual 3GHz Xeon 5160 system running Windows Server 2003 R2. All printer properties can be viewed and modified and network access can be controlled with a host access list that can store five IP addresses. The printer’s CentreWare web server offers up a simple browser interface which provides views of the control panel and the status of consumables. Installation is straightforward, with the driver routine successfully discovering the printer on the network and loading all the necessary software.

Connection options extend to USB2 and 10/100 ethernet, but despite the fast processor this is a GDI, or host-based, printer so you don’t get PCL or PostScript drivers: it expects your PC to do all the legwork in raterising each page. Paper capacity extends to a single 250-sheet lower tray while the multipurpose slot can handle single sheets of up to 220gsm in weight.

Targeting small workgroups on a tight budget and a very modest demand for colour, the printer offers a top true resolution of 600dpi and print speeds of 16ppm for mono and 12ppm for colour. With a remarkably low price, Xerox’s latest small business colour laser certainly looks to hit the sweet spot for value.
