Xerox 5945 Printer Review

The Xerox WorkCentre 5945 is a robust multifunction laser printer with the speed and output quality to handle a busy medium-sized office. It has an output resolution of up to 1200x1200 dpi, and it can print a respectable 45 pages per minute. With email, copy, print, and scan features, it can handle nearly anything an office needs, but buyers should expect to pay a lot for Xerox 5945 printer toner supplies.

Not only does the 5945 have quick top speeds, but it reacts quickly to new tasks, with a first page out time of 3.7 seconds. It also includes duplex printing for two-sided output, saving on paper. A one-touch scan button helps users start scanning quickly, and the dual-head scanner can read both sides in a single pass, for up to 200 impressions per minute. Once scanned, documents are easy to share via email right from the control panel with a touchscreen display, saving on paper and WorkCentre 5945 toner in the process.

The unit is equipped for a maximum monthly duty cycle of 175,000 pages. It includes a 250 GB hard drive for storing documents, and includes an ethernet port and USB port for connection options. Wi-Fi is available as an optional upgrade as well. For those with smartphones and tablets, it also supports easy mobile printing.

Expensive toners are the main problem for this device, as Xerox 5945 toner cartridges are pricier than the average in its class. Each WorkCentre 5945 toner cartridge has a large yield of around 50,000 pages. Unfortunately, this isn't enough to make the cost per page of Xerox 5945 toner affordable.

The Xerox 5945 has so much going for it, with a wide range of features and good speed for the price. It is mainly let down by its pricey supplies, which makes it a tough sell for buyers on a budget.
