Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The Xerox Workcenter XD-100 digital copier/laser printer is the source of newfound freedom for the home business owner. Set it up with your PC or as a standalone and you can schedule it to produce as many as 100 copies, reduce or enlarge them, and print text and black graphics at any time.

The XD-100 is large (20 by 17.5 by 12 inches and 41 pounds) and requires substantial desk space. We recommend you take seriously the orange warning page and follow the printed directions to avoid damaging the XD-100. We began by removing two protective screws and installing the ink cartridge; in seconds we were in copy heaven. Xerox includes a poster-sized waterproof and foolproof setup guide, which walks you through each step, but why anyone would need a permanent setup display is a mystery unless you plan on moving regularly.

We had our first paper jam at copy number 18 which, despite all user's guide suggestions, was best cleared by removing the paper tray and easing the page out from under the unit. Nevertheless, we found the XD-100 fast and efficient, and our copies were cleaner than those from a major copy center. You can set the copy contrast control and the exposure modes to auto, text, photo, and toner save. When set on photo mode, the XD-100's copies of images showed a greater range and nuance of grays.

The XD-100's most important quality is its speed; it prints at eight pages per minute and copies at 10 pages per minute with crisp 600 x 600 dpi resolution. The XD-100 stands alone as a copier or connects to a PC, producing laser-perfect results. We made great use of reduction and enlargement, from 50 to 200 percent in 1 percent increments, as well as six presets: 50, 78, 86, 100, 129, and 200 percent. Paper loads into a drawer, and printed copies emerge in an efficient permanent tray. The drawer holds 250 sheets and the unit prints or copies onto envelopes, transparencies, labels, card stock, and stationery in sizes of letter, legal, and executive. We tried hand-feeding envelopes and were very satisfied with printing quality, although this manual method is slow. There is no pause button; to reset we had to press clear and begin again. The maximum size for copies is 8.5 by 14 inches, and the maximum size for originals is 10 by 14 inches. The unit's hinged top accommodates thicker items such as magazines and books. The XD-100 is supported by a three-year parts-and-labor warranty. --David Greenberger

Pros:

• Easy reductions and enlargements
• High-quality prints and copies
• Easy setup

Cons:

• Overly detailed user's guide is more perplexing than instructive
• Manual envelope feed

2.0 out of 5 stars Really disappointing., September 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Xerox WorkCentre XD100 Digital Copier (Office Product)

We purchased one of these units for our medical office, and it broke down within 2 weeks. We exchanged it for another unit of the same model and this unit also broke down after 2 and a half weeks. The unit at first worked great, and it is fast and the copies look good. That is what kept me from giving the product a 1 star rating.

Possibly there is a design flaw. Possibly all the units at the store we used were dropped off a truck.

Even though this unit more closely does what we were looking for, we went with a multifunction HP to preserve our sanity.

3.0 out of 5 stars Jam City, November 25, 1999

This product worked great for a few months but then started jamming when printing multiple copies. If I let it warm up for 10 minutes it doesn't happen..... even though it's supposed to be ready to copy as soon as the ready light is lit. Their technical support has been great. The warranty includes house calls (and this is a residence) for a year. No one at Xerox has ever seen this problem and it's consistently repeatable so the technician who comes to the house sees it too. We're on house call #4 and he's slowly replacing a lot of parts. If it weren't for this, I'd rate it 5 stars.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pathetic, December 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Xerox WorkCentre XD100 Digital Copier (Office Product)

The copier has worked intermittently, but the paper drawer won't stay closed so the machine shuts down.

I've had the unit for 2 wks and it still won't print. Xerox has not provided me with a phone number so all communication has been by email and takes 2-3 days before I hear from them.

My son the computer analyst has been unable to get the unit running. Unfortunately, it seems to be a pathetic machine with little or no technical backup.

I'm anxious to send it back.
