Xerox DocuColor 240 Toner Cartridges

Xerox 240 Printer Review

For fast color laser printing, it is hard to beat the Xerox DocuColor 240 in its class. This multifunction device can copy and scan as well, with an option for faxing. With speeds of up to 55 pages per minute for black and 40 pages per minute for color, even high-volume users won't feel crunched for time, and Xerox 240 printer toner offers a low cost per page.

Adding extras to the device will increase its size, but it starts out with a fairly small footprint of 65.1x36.2 inches, with a height of 54 inches that puts the control panel at a comfortable viewing height and the automatic document feeder at a good height for easy access. Since the touch control screen is on a movable arm, users can put it in easy reach at all times.

The 240 already starts out with an impressive media capacity of 3,010 sheets, but it can be expanded to offer up to 5,260 sheets at one time, so even the busiest offices and print shops are covered. A Gigabit ethernet port provides fast network sharing, and the unit supports both Windows and Mac computers.

Where the 240 really shines is in its high-resolution printing. It can print at up 2400x2400 dpi for excellent output quality when using color DocuColor 240 toner.

Toners can last a long time with this unit, as each color Xerox 240 toner cartridge has a yield of up to 34,000 pages, while the DocuColor 240 toner cartridges provide up to 30,000 pages. Even the OEM Xerox 240 toner is priced to provide a cost per page of around half a penny.

For large, fast-paced offices, the DocuColor 240 has what it takes to keep up with the busy flow of documents. Its scanning and copying capabilities are nearly as good as its high-resolution printing features, and it is an excellent value for the price.
