4.0 out of 5 stars Great starter color laser printer for your Mac or PC, August 22, 2008
By 
This review is from: Xerox Phaser 6130/N Color Laser Printer (Office Product)
Print quality is great (including photos). Fast, precise, and easy to hook up into your network (I have a Mac and a PC, and both recognized the printer immediately). I've been using mine for the past 6 months without problems.

The 6130/N is power hungry, so initially I had problems using it in my small office, as computers and printer all shared the same power outlet. The lights would dim and the UPS would trip whenever the printer started working on a document. Had to move it to the other side of the house. That didn't bother me, but it may bother you.

Xerox charges too much for memory expansion. Buy normal 1 GB DDR memory stick for notebooks instead (Kingston's M12864E40 or KVR667D2S5/1G both work fine). Also, if you need your printer connected to your wi-fi network, go with one of those wireless game adapters instead of the module Xerox sells, which is also quite expensive.

One more thing: you will have a shock when you need new toner cartridges, though, as they are quite expensive. I didn't get there yet, as the printer comes with full set of toner cartridges, but you should always consider the price of consumables when buying a printer. The 6130/N is still a good option for me, even considering this extra cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for an office or home, September 20, 2008
This review is from: Xerox Phaser 6130/N Color Laser Printer (Office Product)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I am awarding this printer 5 stars for its ease of installation, quality of output, quality of workmanship, unit price and the average cost of a printed page.

The Xerox Phaser 6310N appears to be a solid, quality unit. Given that you will print a couple thousand pages before you need to buy your next toner, you get a lot of value for the price. Thereafter, based on the prices currently listed at Amazon, paying $70 for 2500 black and white pages is not bad at all. In fact, on a per-page basis, you are paying significantly less vs. what you would spend on a generic ink-jet printer.

I installed the printer at home, in the basement, plugged into a wireless Linksys router via an Ethernet wire. My printer is now taking jobs from 5 different computers, connected through the same router over Wi-Fi and running Windows XP and Vista.

The unit comes in a nice, neat box where very little space is wasted. The unit is very much assembled and ready to go. There is a `Quick Installation', poster-sized guide (also a 'flash' animation on the CD) that explains in detail how to remove the various sticky tapes that held the printer together during transportation and lock in the toner cartridges. Once that's done, you plug in the power, connect the printer via either USB or Ethernet (USB and Ethernet cables NOT included), turn it on, set up your favorite language if it's not English and you are ready to go. On the computer side, you need to install the Xerox printer driver.

The driver installation(*) was relatively quick and nearly flawless. For it to proceed, the setup program must first find the printer. Since the printer was not physically connected to the laptop, it immediately started to look for IP-based printers. You must make sure that the printer is turned on and it has an IP address(**) while this is happening. The status page, which you can print from the front panel, will tell you if that is the case. My DHCP-enabled Linksys router assigned an address to the printer so no complicated setup was required. On the Vista side, I had to give Vista permission for a couple of tasks to complete. The setup gives you the opportunity to register your printer online. I agreed and it was quick and easy even though I was surprised that the setup knew my printer's serial number but not the model which I have to pick it myself from a long drop-down list.

From the moment I opened the box to the time I printed my first page off a document, it took less than one hour. I can see how some users may require help with the network installation part. I cannot say how Xerox supports end-users with more complex network setups because I did not have to call the tech support.


The Phaser 3310N is a large, solid box (see Amazon's picture) and it is so because it holds large (fully loaded) toner cartridges and the fuser unit. Printing is quick and quiet and I experienced no paper jams yet. The colors are bright and both the text and the graphics are crisp - I printed some very complicated flowcharts and a colorful logo to test and I was satisfied with the result. Out of the box, over 200 PCL and PostScript fonts are supported. Other features include 128Mb of memory, support for various paper sizes and paper types including glossies and envelopes, it can be set to go into PowerSaver mode after a period of inactivity (and I reduced it from the 30 minute default to 5 minutes), can be set to produce an audible tone on various conditions, will produce Configuration pages with values for various settings and parameters including the environment's temperature and humidity.

This printer should be ideal for the small office and it could be great for the home if the relatively large size does not bother you. In my case, it doesn't because it's going to stay in the basement. Memory expansion or wireless connections were not issues for me but those who have such concerns should do some research before buying.

________________________________________________________________________
(*) Note that you will have to install the driver on ALL the computers that are going to use the printer. Every time you install the driver, you will be prompted to register again. After you complete your first registration, ignore any subsequent invitations.

(**) I can think of 3 basic way you can connect the printer without having to buy any extra hardware, other than a cable, if you don't have one already:
1 - Personal printer - use a USB cable to connect it directly to your desktop computer (or your laptop's docking station)
2 - Shared printer - after connecting the printer as above and you install the printer driver, share it (the specific steps depend on your operating system but it's usually easy). This way, anyone on the same network can use it for as long as the computer that's sharing it is up.
3 - Network printer - you plug it into a network port or directly into a router using an Ethernet cable. Unless you place some restrictions, everyone on the network should be able to use the printer for as long as it is on and the network is up.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Rebirth of Home Printing ... God Bless Xerox!, January 5, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Xerox Phaser 6130/N Color Laser Printer (Office Product)
Like many others who have posted reviews, and as a lifelong computer user with 20 years of printing experience, I had become completely fed up with the overall quality of printers offered for sale for the last 10 year or so. Inkjet printers as a category have gone to crap; our first inkjet (circa 1994) was great, but the last three I have purchased have all quickly degenerated into useless, moneysucking, ink-spraying paperweights.* Inability to print the simplest things (like travel reservations, order receipts, etc.) without buying yet another set of ink was driving me up the wall. "Entry-level" laser printers had finally become affordable, but the horror stories of delicate operation, funny smells, horrendous noises, outrageous power consumption, and deplorable Customer disService departments were scaring me off.

After much reading and calculating and meandering, I took the plunge and ordered a 6130. It arrived quickly and was well packaged, and has been the mirror opposite of all the horror stories I had read about "affordable" laser printers. It is quiet, fast, has never jammed, produces clean, sharp prints, and was quite easy to set up. Plenty of documentation (both printed and on disc) was included. It is taller than an inkjet, but very compact, basically a 16" cube. I run the printer via USB with a Toshiba laptop running WinXP SP2; installing the driver was quick and easy, and the print quality is great. After struggling for years with Canon, HP, and Epson inkjets,** I can't begin to say how happy I am with this sweet machine! Buy with confidence!

* In all honesty, I have kept the last of those (an Epson CX5000) around for use as a scanner, but ripped out its useless printer guts long ago.

** In the defense of Canon, HP, and Epson, they all produce wonderful professional-level products. But unless you're running a service bureau or just enjoy burning cash, how can the expense be justified or an individual. The units they target for home use are horrendous! Have your photos printed at Wal-Mart or Target (as a semi-pro photographer, it kills me to type that!), and get this Phaser for your personal business use.
