Xerox 5745 Printer Review

The Xerox WorkCentre 5745 multifunction printer offers a configuration to fit almost any set of demands, but its high price might knock it out of the running for a lot of smaller offices. Its print speeds of up to 45 page per minute are impressive, and the cost of Xerox 5745 printer toner is low, but upgrades can be a bit expensive as well.

Even as a basic laser copier, the price of the 5745 is fairly high, and adding features like scanning and printing just adds to it. Its performance is excellent, with a first copy out time of around 3.4 seconds, and a 1.2 GHz processor to ensure it doesn't get bogged down by a lot of network traffic.

Many buyers will consider purchasing the 5745 for the long haul, and adding to it as they go. This is certainly the idea Xerox had in mind. Its initial paper capacity of 1,000 sheets can go as high as 8,700 sheets to support a very high printing volume, and numerous finishing options like folding and stapling can be added as well. The problem is that most of the add-ons can get expensive, so buyers should price them out beforehand.

Buyers will have the benefit of inexpensive toners, which might make the other costs worth it in the long run. WorkCentre 5745 toner cartridges have affordable price tags, and a two-pack of Xerox 5745 toner cartridges provides up to 64,000 pages. With such a high page yield, even a machine whose paper capacity is maxed out could empty the entire supply almost 8 times before needing replacement WorkCentre 5745 toner.

Medium or large offices will most benefit from the 5745, and will be the most likely to afford it. Its expandability would be an asset to smaller businesses with growth on the horizon, as would its low-cost Xerox 5745 toner, but the initial cost of the device will likely be too much for them.
