Xerox 3315 Printer Review

The Xerox WorkCentre 3315 takes the concept of a multifunction laser printer and shrinks it down in both price and design for a machine that is tailored to small office use. It is also referred to as the 3315DN, which denotes its duplexing and networking features. The impressive print speed of 33 pages per minute is very impressive for the price. Buyers will find Xerox 3315 printer toner expensive, however.

Along with its fast speeds, the unit has a first page out time of 6.5 seconds, which means less waiting for jobs to start. The unit can handle copying, faxing, scanning, and printing, and it even has the ability to send scans to email addresses, or print documents sent to its internal address. These types of features seem like small additions, but can have a large impact on productivity.

The 3315 doesn't have the wireless support of its big brother, the 3325, but its wired networking features are very well-designed. Documents can be scanned and saved to network folders, and users can send faxes directly from their computer, saving a trip to the machine, perhaps multiple times per day. A USB port allows users to connect a flash drive for saving scanned documents without any hassle.

The unit's price is appealing, but toners are a different story. The standard WorkCentre 3315 toner cartridges have a page yield of only 2,300, though larger capacities are also available. The high price of Xerox 3315 toner cartridges brings the cost per page up fairly high, making WorkCentre 3315 toner a less cost-effective choice than some competitors.

Small office users will find the robust feature set, solid networking support, and low price of the 3315 quite appealing. If they don't mind extra costs for Xerox 3315 toner, it could be a very good solution.
