Xerox XD130 Printer Review

The Xerox WorkCentre XD130 (also referred to as the XD130DF) improves on the typical compact laser printer design with a few extras such as duplexing. Speeds are a bit slow, at 8 pages per minute, but quality is sharp, and paper capacity is impressive as well. The low price of Xerox XD130 toner is another bonus, as it keeps printer toner costs down.

With so many features in one device, the XD130 is surprisingly small. It measures just 18.3 inches by 20.4 inches by 19.3 inches and weighs around 57 pounds, which should be compact enough for most small office users, and maybe even a few busy home users. The duplexing feature is somewhat of a rarity in its price range, but allows for easy printing on both sides of the page, which can reduce paper waste. The paper capacity of 530 sheets is also quite impressive given the unit's size.

The high cost of toners with other devices is not an issue here, as Xerox XD130 toner cartridges are quite affordable. The large capacity of WorkCentre XD130 toner cartridges also ensures that users won't have to replace WorkCentre XD130 toner frequently. Using compatible Xerox XD130 toner is another way to save even more.

Compared to other similar models, the XD130 does fall behind a bit in print speed. It has a larger paper capacity than most devices at its price point, however, and its duplexing feature is not often found for such a low price and in a small office machine.

Overall, the XD130 should have a solid appeal for small office users and even home users due to its compact design and low upfront price. The savings on running costs combined with extras like duplexing make it a real bargain at such a low price point.
