Xerox WorkCentre XE60
The multifunction printing market is one with plenty of competition. It seems there are new ranges being released all the time. A device has to be truly outsatanding in order to dominate this market. The Xerox WorkCentre XE60 is just such a device.
The XE60 is a color multifunction device that offers color printing, copying and scanning in one chassis. Setting it up is easy, merely a matter of unpacking slotting it together. Connections are made by USB or parallel, which offers flexibility, and is easy to install. The paper tray holds up to 250 sheets, which is enough for a smaller office or home worker. The tray, and single feeder can handle media of all sizes from legal sized all the way to A3. It can handle smaller media too like labels, postcards and envelopes without getting jammed.
Toner is easy to insert and remove and is good value for money. The black toner is good for 3000 pages of an average 5% coverage and costs around $50.
Printing and copying is the real strength of the XE60. Image quality is excellent and monochrome text is especially crisp at standard resolution of 600 dpi. There were rough transitions when reproducing photographs, but the overall quality was acceptable for normal use. The print speed averaged 6 pages per minute which is about average for this class of device.
Scanning is a breeze, as the device is simple and effective, and produced excellent results when tested. The copy was just about identical to the original and came out in no time at all. The lid is adjustable, meaning it can cope with thicker media such as books or magazines without any trouble.
Ideally this is a multifunction for the smaller office or home worker who doesn’t print all that much. There are enough features to satisfy most needs, and the print quality is easily good enough for any office but the relatively low duty cycle of 8000 sheets restricts its appeal slightly. Just as well then that this is marketed squarely at the small/home office market, and it fits in with the intended audience.
Overall this is a great little printer for those it is directed towards, i.e. the small business or home worker. Six pages a minute isn’t a blistering pace, and the lack of Ethernet capability limits its appeal. However, for those who want printer that produces great quality prints on any kind of media, the XE60 is ideal.
