Xerox Phaser 4510

The Xerox Phaser 4510 is another printer which expands the range of the office machine giant recently. It slots in neatly to their expanding home/small office offerings to the market. Offering themselves up as direct competition to the big names like Brother, Canon and Dell.

The Phaser 4510 comes with a standard 700 sheet paper tray, with the option of increasing that to 1800 with an extra purchase. Toner cartridges are easily replaceable after they have served their 19000 page life. The cost is reasonable, at an approximate cost of $125 each.

The simple control panel is simple and straightforward with decent sized buttons and a clear LCD gray screen. The navy blue surroundings add a nice bit of color to an otherwise standard gray box. The buttons are simple, and spaced out enough to not get in the way of each other, which is ideal for those of use with larger fingers.

The print output is excellent. It prints around 45 pages per minute according to Xerox, but real life tests saw nearer 40. Text is clear and bright, with definite edges and no obvious banding. Images were of a similar quality, with an even spread of toner across even the most complex tests.

This is a printer that would suit a small business or home office. Flexibility is one of the benefits of the 4510. The memory can be upgraded, as can the paper tray, you can add a hard drive, network port, wireless and a duplexer. So if your needs grow with your business, the printer can grow with you.

It can print good quality monochrome pages at up to 45 pages per minute at a resolution of 600 dpi, and supports Windows and Mac. Native support for PostScript, PCL and PDL, there is no problem with compatibility either. With a maximum duty cycle of 250000 pages per month, it is a little box with a big heart.

The 4510 is a solid performer. Perfect for the small/home office who need a good quality printer at a decent price. Consumables are cheap so the printer doesn’t cost a fortune to run. Combined with the decent turn of speed, that makes it a winner in the market as far as we are concerned.
