Xerox XD102 Printer Review

With a monthly duty cycle of 1,000 prints per month, the Xerox WorkCentre XD102 is designed to handle the needs of a small office or home. It is a laser printer that also has the ability to make copies, but can only do both in black and white. Consumers with a need for color printing will need to look elsewhere. The XD102 only offers a parallel connection, so separate pieces of equipment will be needed to set up a network for sharing the printer. It is compatible with Windows, Mac and most operating systems.

The maximum input paper capacity is 200 sheets, while the output tray can only hold up to 100 sheets. A number of specialty media can be printed on as well, including transparencies, envelopes and labels. This versatility will allow the XD102 to be used for tasks outside of standard text documents. The overall speed of production is about 10 pages per minute for both printing and making copies, with a first-page-out time of less than 10 seconds.

There is an alert system with flashing LED lights to let users know when Xerox XD102 toner is running low. Only black printer toner is used, meaning only a single WorkCentre XD102 toner cartridge is required. One is provided by the manufacturer upon purchase, but when replacement toners are needed, they can be found at a number of online sources. The cost per page is kept low by the 6,000-print yield of each Xerox XD102 toner cartridge.

It is important to have professional quality, especially if this unit is used in an office environment. The maximum resolution created by the WorkCentre XD102 toner is 600x600 dpi, which will provide crisp text documents. This 41-pound laser machine is reliable and consistent while staying within a limited budget due to the overall affordability of the Xerox XD102 toner.
