Xerox Phaser with Cyan, Magenta , Yellow and Black Standard Capacity Toner Cartridges

التعليق

Purchased the Xerox Phaser 6510/DNI to replace a Brother MFC-9840CDW all in one printer, copier, scanner, and fax. The brother printer still works but have started having problems with it. Relegated it to a backup role. The xerox is a printer only. It does not have a scanner, copier, or fax. As a printer, it seems to be great so far. I have only had it a few days but print quality is better than the brothers ever was. The brother quality is pretty good but this is better. Text is crisper and pictures and graphics seem to be much clearer and closer to actual colors. This printer is fast. I printed a 25 page report in duplex and it was finished printing by the time I turned to look. Of course I took my time as I was used to the brother printer. That printer would not have been half finished when I turned around. Amazon began carrying this printer in December 2016 so it is a new printer with the newest technology. My old brother first came out in 2004. Not a whole lot of changes in printer technology since then but this is a good fast printer with good graphics and text. Toner cartridges look like they are going to be pretty expensive but I am hoping generic ones will come out in the next year or so and drive down the cost like they did with my old brother printer. I am a computer geek so dont know if it is my inherent knowledge or not but the printer was a breeze to set up for use with Ethernet. It was a pain to input the pass phrase for my wireless router though. Had to scroll through an ASCII chart to find upper case letters, lower case letters, and special characters. Worked flawlessly though once input. Web interface is much easier. Not much to say about it. Just go to the ip address you setup for the printer and look and update or change any settings you like. Printer is much lighter than my old one but still weighs about 40 pounds. Easy for me to move around. Difficult for a lady perhaps. Only thing I dont like about the printer is that the manual controls on the printer itself are not intuitive. I had to find a picture with an explanation to figure out what button to press for various things. Eventually printed out a menu tree from one of the reports offered and keep it by the printer until I memorize them. I give it 5 stars because I really like how good the printed pages look and how fast they come out in both single and duplex mode. Toner price may be an issue but since I have not had to deal with it yet, I am not going to penalize the printer for something that has not occurred yet. I will update this as the year goes by. -----Update March 2017 ---- Had the printer for a few weeks now and absolutely love it. It is fast, quiet, and prints both text, graphics, and color better than any laser printer I have personally ever worked with. I have not printed any photographs but everything else it prints looks so professional that I expect a photo might rival an inkjets output. A;so, it does not seem to use as much toner as I expected. My Brother printer seemed to run out long before it was supposed to. This one seems to print more than expected which is a good thing considering how expensive the replacements are. This thing draws a lot of power when it powers up. Actually makes the lights in my home office dim some each time. I am not going to rewire the house but I might spring for a large uninterrupted power supply (UPS) with AVR (voltage regulator). Normally you dont put a laser printer on a UPS as it draws so much power it usually needs a fairly large one by itself. However, I probably will just to keep from annoying my wife with flickering lights. Note that this is an issue with most larger laser printers and is not specific to this particular one. However, my old Brother MFC9840CDW did not cause the lights to flicker so it is not always the case. I still dont like the controls on the printer itself. The symbols dont make any sense to me and there are no words printed underneath them. Still, that is a very minor complaint. I have posted a copy of the manual to the wall that explains them. One day I may finally memorize them. However, most things can be done from the web interface so I may never need to memorize them. If I was buying a printer again, I would buy this one BUT with the fax/copy/scan capabilities. ----------------------- October 24, 2017 Lower my rating by a star due to a problem getting the printer out of sleep mode. If I dont use the printer for a day or two, the next time I do, I have to reboot the printer. It will not come out of sleep mode when I send a print job (get message that printer is offline) and pressing the sleep on/off button (for lack of a better word) does not do anything. I have to physically unplug it and plug it back in. Very very annoying. There may be a fix. I dont know. Have seen nothing else online talking about this problem. Will run it by Xerox and see if they are any help. ------------------------------- November 2, 2017 Changed number of stars from 4 back to 5 bucause of outstanding support by Xerox. I submitted a support ticket to Xerox because I was having a problem with the printer going to sleep and not always coming back out properly. I really did not expect much to happen other than some guy from India talking to me and not understanding or fixing the problem. Boy was I wrong! Xerox support emailed me within hours and asked for some configuration information which I printed out and emailed to them. I got a reply back the next day that everythng looked like it was setup properly so they were sending a technician by my house to fix it. The next day, a guy called and we setup a time for him to come over later in the week. He showed up on time and replaced the motherboard with a new one. Took him about an hour. So far, I have had no problems. I have NEVER had a large company take a problem as seriously as Xerox did. As far as I am concerned, their printer could catch fire and I would buy it again based purely upon the fantastic support they provide.

This is a very good printer. Its fast, and the output is high quality. However, there are two things you should know about it. 1. The color toner cartridges that come installed are paltry, only lasting for a few hundred pages. I was not expecting this, and ran out in the middle of a print job that I needed the next day. And the printer wont keep printing with whatever residual toner is left in the cartridge. It just refuses to print. So, youre going to be out several hundred more dollars for your first set of toner cartridges, if you buy Xerox. Im going to try a many times cheaper, non-OEM set. 2. When I set up the printer on my Mac desktop, it continually lost the connection. The printer was connected to the network, and I could print to it with my iPad, but the desktop reported it as "not connected". When I deleted the printer and set it up again without using Xeroxs software, it worked fine.

So far so good with my new 6510. Four stars because it still uses an 80s technology LCD/buttons interface at the printer. You really only have to use that to configure WiFi (never if you go wired). Once connected, use your browser and the printers web interface. Most everything can be accomplished there. The installed toner cartridges are typical new printer capacities. They are estimated at 1500 pages black and 1000 for the 3 colors. I dont print a ton, so theyll still last a while. A warning: Xerox replacement cartridges have significant cost. More $$$ than the printer itself to replace with a standard capacity set. There are cheaper compatible cartridges out there, but have yet to see reported results with those and this printer. That said, the toner, even at Xerox pricing, is about 50% cheaper per page than the HP ink jet Im replacing. Considering ink cartridges often malfunction and dry up prior to end of life, I expect even greater cost savings over the long run with this . All-in-all, Im happy with the purchase. An excellent printer. Shipping was a day late, tracking was completely fouled up and UPS delivered it tipped over on its side (box clearly marked to keep upright). Not typical of Amazon Prime delivery.

I bought this printer to replace a Xerox Phaser 6280 that had provided trouble-free service for over 7 years. I figured that a new Phaser was a good idea. Not so much! The first one I bought was faulty out of the box, requiring a visit from a Xerox technician. The printer kept suffering paper jams because, even though it was set correctly to letter size paper, it insisted on defaulting to the European A4 size. Expecting A4 paper, and not letter sized paper, it would jam half way through printing a page. As the technician failed to correct the fault, the seller agreed to replace this printer. This is not a good thing as shipping costs $60.00 and a 65lb printer is not an easy thing to haul around. Unfortunately, the second printer was fine until the starter toner cartridge was used up (1,000 pages). The printer refused to recognise that a new cartridge had been installed, even using an OEM replacement toner cartridge. The Xerox service center said that it might be a faulty cartridge (theyre chipped) and they would send a new one. If that was not recognised, they said it would require a second visit from a technician. Xerox promised to send out a new toner cartridge for next day deliver. However, 4 days later, it had not arrived. The seller called Xerox and, again, they promised to send a replacement toner. Obviously, they hadnt sent out the first toner. This too failed to arrive. (In fact, it hasnt shown up to this day.) Now, having been without a working printer for the best part of a month, the seller agreed to refund the purchase. I have no complaints about the seller who acted honorably at all times. However, two problematic printers, and very poor customer service, is enough to put me off Xerox for life. PS: I purchased a Brother HL-L8260CDW instead and it works perfectly. On a side note, check out the prices of OEM Xerox and Brother black toner. You will be glad you did.

Truly can’t tell you anything about this Xerox printer, guess I should have learned with my 1st Xerox, to not buy any more Xerox printers. This one Dead On Arrival with an error message, called Xerox support, and still waiting for them to come replace a part. Needless to say, printed 1 page, can’t print any more because the error message does not allow printer to function at all. Also, Xerox suooort was to come and replace whatever parts; they never called to confirm their appointment, NOR did they show for the already scheduled appt. I called today and ask tech support what the status was an I was told my date has been moved to another day, yet no one called to me me this.

Overall I like this printer. I would have given it a higher rating but there was one major annoyance to me that came with it - windows popups. I would occasionally get pop-up advertisements from Xerox (for product registration, warranty extension offers, etc.). It took me a while to track down where they were coming from, but after investing time and searching the Internet I found out that there are two tasks in the Windows Task Scheduler and I disabled them. I dont know what Xerox was thinking - like we need more popups. One other minor annoyance is that the printer will occasionally, randomly wake up out of standby mode and warm up, when there are no jobs being sent to the printer (or anyone using the computer for that matter). The output is nice though, colors are vibrant (especially if you use color laser printer paper like I do) and I like the fact that it has duplex printing. So it was a good value for the money and I would buy it again (just disable the popups!).

Very happy with this printer so far. I was tired of replacing less expensive ink jet printers every other year and having to buy expensive ink refills after small color print jobs so I decided it was time to upgrade to a color laser printer. Did a bit of research and selected the Xerox Phaser 6510/DNI. Of course it is bigger than our old ink jet (deeper and taller), but it is not massive. Set up was very easy. The DNI model has wireless printing. It did take a couple of minutes to scroll through setup options and type in the WiFi password on the limited interface, but it was not complicated. Took a few minutes to warm up on first use but no issues after that. Prints beautifully and very quickly. Some commented that this machine causes a power surge/lights to flicker. I live in a 105 year old house and did not have any problems; however, I did plug into a surge protector.

I love the printer. I bought it to replace a 10 year old Xerox Phaser 6180DN. The 6510 prints much faster and has good color reproduction. I love the fact that I can print from my iPhone and iPad, too. The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that it was difficult getting it connected to the network. My network router is older and doesn’t have an auto connect fearure. I had to do something different from the Xerox directions to get access to the printers control panel over the network. Following Xeroxs directions did not work. I finally found the default URL of the printer at an online forum.

Ive owned the Phaser 6510 for about a month now. After working out a few initially frustrating issues, I can say without reservation that Im very gratified by the performance of this color laser printer. At this price point, you will be hard pressed to find anything close to what the 6510 offers unless you go with a refurbished or used unit. While the price tag is ridiculously small, it is the cost of replacing toner cartridges that makes the 6510 a stellar value. Amazon offers a variety of generic replacement toner cartridge bundles starting at under $50 for a total of 5 (2 black, 1 yellow, 1 cyan and 1 magenta). These are high-yield cartridges and should last you months or even years depending on how much printing you do. Colors reproduce flawlessly and the detail in photographs and other high-res images is better than many high-end color lasers. On the downside, I had a devil of a time getting the 6510 and my PC too communicate under any protocol, at one point spending over an hour and a half in chat with a product support guy, who was exceedingly pleasant, patient and willing, but ultimately unable to resolve this issue. Finally (and on my own) I hit upon a combination of uninstallation/re-installation of both the printer and the drivers that worked. The CD that shipped with the printer was all but useless. I now have a variety of documents formatted to print perfectly without additional tweaking other than to occasionally load media into the bypass tray. In summary--other than the hell-on-earth setup problem--Im in color laser heaven, and feel confident recommending the Phaser 6510 to anyone other than the completely tech-illiterati.

I have an old monochrome laser printer and Ive been wanting a color printer for a while. I havent seen many advertised under $200 that I thought were any good, but I saw a Xerox 6510/DN advertised for $179 and it looked nice. Except I wanted the WiFi interface. I scrolled around on the page and in the product comparison grid it showed a 6510/DNI for $139. Whoa! I wondered, whats the "I" for? Something nobody wants? Nope. It turns out the DNI model includes a WiFi adapter! This was impossible to pass up -- $40 cheaper PLUS the WiFi adapter! Well, it said it was "refurbished" too, but that didnt bother me. Xerox has been making stuff like this forever, and I knew it would be a solid performer. I hooked it up and the test prints look great. This printer is actually higher-res than most laser printers, and the pages are really sharp. Configuring the WiFi is a bit tricky. The "manuals" are annoying -- they have a drawing with 10 one-line bullets, each of which is in a different language. For more information they say, "See the manual". Well THIS IS THE MANUAL! I had to go to their website and dig around to find something that explained in 100% English how to configure the doggone WiFi, two of which are very inconvenient when your router is in another room. And at 66 lbs, Im not lugging this printer around the house. (One option said to plug the printer directly into your laptop via the internet cable. Ummm ... MacBooks have not had internet plugs on them for nearly a decade.) Im giving it 5-stars anyway because its such a great deal. In fact, it would be a Great Deal at $250. That said, for the price of new toner carts, youre better off donating the printer to Goodwill when it runs out of toner and just getting another one on sale.
