Xerox 3500 Printer Review

The Xerox Phaser 3500 is a laser printer designed for the small or medium office environment. Its compact design means it can fit into fairly tight spaces, but its customizable options and multiple configurations mean it can be tailored to fit a variety of needs. The 3500B model includes extra paper capacity, the 3500N includes networking capabilities, and the 3500DN model includes both duplexing (two-sided printing) and networking. All models use the same affordable Phaser 3500 toner that will help keep printer toner costs down.

The design of the 3500 is fairly compact, but it doesn't sacrifice speed and performance. It measures 13.9 inches by 15.6 inches by 18.6 inches and weighs only 38 pounds in its standard configuration. Adding additional paper trays will add extra bulk, but the maximum paper capacity is 1,100 sheets, which is enough to handle a fairly large number of users at a high volume of printing jobs. This customization allows the device to grow along with an office as it expands, and should be especially appealing to those on a budget, who can pay a lower price upfront without having to replace the machine later.

Replacing toners is not an expensive proposition, as the cost of Xerox 3500 toner is very low. Standard Xerox 3500 toner cartridges have a capacity of 6,000 pages, while the high-yield Phaser 3500 toner cartridges have an impressive yield of 12,000 pages, keeping the cost per page even lower.

Compared to other models in its class, the 3500 has one of the lowest upfront prices, and the capacity of Xerox 3500 toner is larger, making it a better value. The toner saver mode uses even less toner per page.

Overall, small and medium office users will appreciate the customized models of the 3500, as well as the optional upgrades. Its affordable price and solid printing speeds make it a good buy.
