Xerox DocuColor 242 Toner Cartridges

Xerox 242 Printer Review

The Xerox DocuColor 242 is a color laser printer that's designed to meet the multifunction needs of medium or large offices with its print, scan and copy features. The device can work quickly, printing originals and copies at a speed of up to 55 pages per minute for monochrome projects and 40 pages per minute for color output. With quick speeds, large-capacity toners and flexible features, the 242 is a great all-in-one to have around busy offices.

The machine has versatile paper handling with ample tray support, including two 500-sheet standard input trays and a 250-sheet bypass tray, as well as an optional tray that can hold up to 870 pages and an additional tray capable of storing a maximum of 1,140 pages. For multiple-sheet scan jobs, the unit also includes a 250-sheet automatic document feeder that can even be used for double-sided scanning. From its abundance of paper handling to the maximum monthly duty cycle of 200,000 pages, the 242 is ideal for large-volume offices.

The device comes with a large LCD display and a simple control panel that will allow users to manage projects and keep track of Xerox 242 printer toner levels, so that orders for replacements can be sent before current supplies expire. Using color and black DocuColor 242 toner, users can print and copy projects with a sharp, professional-quality resolution of 2400x2400 dpi.

With high-capacity cyan, magenta and yellow Xerox 242 toner cartridges that can yield up to 34,000 pages each, the device has the capability to work well in fast-paced offices. Black DocuColor 242 toner supplies can last up to 30,000 pages. Since each Xerox 242 toner cartridge is separate, users will be able to replace them individually as they expire.

There's little to complain about with the 242, from its flexible paper handling to a consistent quality output. With its high-capacity supplies, quick monochrome and color printing, and easy-to-use control options, this laser multifunction device will be a nice addition to large offices.
