When you are thinking about copying, Xerox has to be one of the first names that comes to mind. Year in and year out they put out products that are very competitive and often do it for far less than the competition. The Xerox Phaser 6110 Printer falls right into that category and once again, you have to be amazed that Xerox for some reason is able to do this when the competition has just not figured it out yet.
One of the better points of the printer is its size. It is not often that you can find a complete laser printer that is only 15″x14″x10″. It will fit into the smallest of spots and allows you to make the most out of the space that you have in a small office.
The processor is fairly quick for such an inexpensive model as it features 300MHz. The printer also has a color resolution of 2400dpi x 600dpi which is also in the upper range of what you would expect at this price point. When you are printing detailed images, this is very helpful in processing them quickly.
As we said, with every printer there are pros and cons and the cons of this printer seem to the ppm speed could use a little boost. Pumping out 17ppm is not bad for the price point, but you would think a laser printer could do a better job. There is also no double sided printing option that hurts this model as with today’s economy, everyone is looking to save every penny and second they can. If you want to double print, you are going to have to print it out page by page and flip the paper manually. This can be quite time consuming and hurts the value of this printer.
When you are looking to compare this printer to other that it is supposed to stack up against, you can put it up against the features of the Samsung CLP-315 and the HP Color LaserJet CP1215. As you will see, it is significantly cheaper than both of them while having very similar features as both of these units. The reviews of the products on many sites are very similar in nature so again, you have to wonder how Xerox can put out the same product as these two other companies at almost half the price!
Utilizing the 6100 toner cartridge, the Xerox Phaser 6110 can handle basic image printing, color documents and presentations and can load paper up to legal size. It has a bin capacity of 150 pages and an output capacity of 100 pages, more than enough. It also has a decent monthly duty cycle of over 24,000 pages.
Depending upon what why you are purchasing this printer will decide if it is the right choice for you. This printer is definitely not meant to crank out papers left and right. Some of the common feedback is that it will overheat if you abuse it. This does not mean that it is a bad printer, but as we stated earlier, it is meant more for home use or a small home business. This not meant for a corporate office.

Overall, this is a solid choice in this price range. As we said in the beginning, Xerox has been doing this for a long time and has been doing it well. You just continue to shake your head when you like at the price differential of what the competition charges for the same product and laugh all the way to the bank. For more information, check out
