+ Low Price
– High cartridge cost |
 |
This printer has the lowest price at Rs 6,750 and the amazing part is that
its print cartridge costs Rs 4,300. This is the trend with most of the Xerox
printers where you have a huge recurring cost. It comes with just 8 MB RAM which
cannot be upgraded and has both parallel and USB connectivity. The time taken
for first page print is 10 seconds. But, it did manage to meet its claimed print
speed at 20 ppm. The Phaser can print up to 1200 dpi resolution and the printing
quality was good in our tests. The duty cycle of the printer is 35,000 pages
while the cartridge yield is 3,000 prints.
Bottom Line: A compact design and low price, make it a good buy.

+ Good
printing speed
– Low Ram |
 |
This was a last moment entry in our shootout. At first glance it's a nice
looking laser printer. But if you are standing near the printer to collect the
printouts, then the heat emanating from the vents at the top of the unit hits
you in the face. This is annoying. The printer managed to give good performance
in our tests-its output was 20 ppm and time taken to print the first page was
14 seconds.
The printer is low on RAM having only 2 MB and has only two LEDs in its
control panel to display information about the status of the printer. It has a
parallel and a USB interface for connectivity. Its cartridge provides a yield of
3000 pages and its input tray can handle 150 papers while the output tray
capacity is 100.
Bottom Line: A good choice provided you
need only textual prints.
