Xerox Phaser 6500DN

 

Xerox's Phaser 6500DN color laser printer for small and medium-size workgroups carries a temptingly low price of $499 (as of February 22, 2011). But given the volume of output that such users are likely to generate, it's unfortunate that the Phaser...

Expandable paper handling

Expensive toner

This workgroup-level printer imposes budget-breaking toner costs, making it unsuitable for high-volume use.

Xerox Phaser 6500/N

 

File the Xerox Phaser 6500/N ($399 direct) under well worth getting at the right price, with a combination of speed, output quality, and paper handling that will fit nicely into most micro or small offices or workgroups. Unfortunately, it's also pricey...

Reasonably high quality output across the board. Suitable paper handling for a small office or workgroup

Although the speed for business applications is acceptable for a small office, it's less than impressive

The Xerox Phaser 6500/N color laser printer offers an attractive balance of speed, output quality, and paper handling for a micro or small office or workgroup, but at a premium price.

Review: Xerox Phaser 6500DN color laser printer

 

This workgroup-level printer imposes budget-breaking toner costs, making it unsuitable for high-volume use.

The Phaser 6500DN provides the usual workgroup-level features: USB and ethernet connectivity; a 250-sheet main input tray and integrated manual-feed slot; and a top, 150-sheet output tray. An additional, 250-sheet input tray costs $199 from Xerox....

Xerox Phaser 6500N

 

Even though the Phaser 6500N doesn't offer the most advanced features on a laser printer, this device still offers high-quality performance. The printing speeds and the 40,000 monthly duty cycle are benefits of using this device, and the 256MB of...

There are 256MB of installed memory available on this laser printer

The Phaser 6500N lacks wireless printing capabilities

The Phaser 6500N is an ideal fit for both office and home use, despite its basic feature set.

Ridiculous toner usage

 

I wonder how many of these Xerox would sell if they put a big label on the box stating you will consume toner at the rate of $1.20 per page. I could literally buy a new machine every time cheaper than I can resupply the toner.

Works great. Print quality excellent

installed on 11-10-12 and by 2-10-13 I have consumed $750 worth of toner in only 622 pages printed (1 set of regular toner cart and 1 set of high capacity cart). Xerox tech support told me "That is normal if you are printing color exclusive images

You can't beat this

 

This printer is very well-made! Feeds paper well, prints BEAUTIFULLY and toner is much cheaper than other brands. It was very easy to install and works well with my Windows 8, 7 and Vista machines. I love it so much I'm buying one for my church office

Well made

 

For a few hundred dollars more you can be using color cube solid ink

Very well made. Pro quality compared too many others

No duplex printing and that adds up to a total waste of time and paper

Pretty Good, but...

 

The Pros: Excellent Print Quality, quick warmup, good print speed, doesn't leave indentations on paper. The Cons: The manual feed is a disaster. Very difficult to get anything to feed straight, it all comes out slightly cocked. You can play with it as...

Problem,dysfunctional printer

 

Maybe drivers for Zerox Phaser 3300 MFP and Phaser 6500N are similar and therefore conflicting?

I cannot think of any pros

This Zerox Phaser 6500N has disrupted our entire printing network. We are using Phaser 3300 MFPs, and the introduction of the Phaser 6500N has rendered Zerox wireless printing useless. Disposed packing box, unable to return the printer
